DEMOLISHING THE RAILS.
CITY FORCES TEAR UP THE CAR
TRACK.
A Midnight Job by the Street Com
mlssioner's Men, Ordered in
Secret and Swiftly Executed.

In accordance with a resolution
passed by the city council some
months ago, the street commits
sioner last night after midnight
proceeded to tear away all of the
San Antonio Street Car company's
track on Arkansas street, for the
purpose of ploughing and grading
that street today. The street COM
missioner acted upon secret in
structions from the mayor
and the action of his men was not
to be made known to the Street
Car company and the public until
today. The Street Car company's
grade on that street has been so
often complained of that the au-
thorities determined to submit to
the corporation no longer. They
had been notified to lower
their grade but had deferred
from time to time. The
instructions to the street commits
sioner became noised abroad, al
though it was believed but three
persons were cognizant of it, and
the president of the car company
and his assistant uperintendent
were on the ground prior to the ar
rival of the city forces. Work be-
gan when the latter arrived, and
hot times between the street car
men and the city's representatives
were commencing, when the mayor
arrived, in response to a request
from President Weiss. A parley
was had without effect and the
track was slowly torn up.
President Weiss today said to a
LIGHT reporter that he would GER
tainly bring a suit for damages
against the city for the action of
last night. He expressed himself
as indignant at the quick judg-
ment taken on him and
was decidedly expressive in
regard to the action of
the mayor in ordering the work
done under cover of the night,
much as deeper deeds of darkness
are done.
The mayor said today that he
had given the street commissioner
no specific instructions to do the
work at night, but to do 1t quickly,
in order to have the street graded |
in the next tW o or three days.

Struck a Spring.

In excavating for the cellar of
Wolfson's new building, at Insel-
mann's corner, on West Commerce
street, Contractor Boelhauwe's men
struck a spring that flooded the
cellar and caused considerable
trouble to stop it's flow and draw
the water off. Mr.. Boelhauwe
thinks that the spring was of re-
markedly pure water and of suffi-
Gent value to do good if it could
have been confined In a proper
limit. This instance goes to con-
firm that the LIGHT has often as
serted that water lays all around
US. 1t only requires skill, energy
and little outlay to secure it
The water question, as far as San
Antonio is concerned, is an easy
one Of practical solution.

In Remembrance of Miss F. Massey.
She has parted her young life,
To 90 to better lana,
To roam and part no more with her
Savior.
Never d more TO trod this rough worlds
paths.
Like lily, she was amongst US,
Like a lily, full of bloom,
Like lily, to wither and die;
God needs the pure Lily in his land.
Why should we weep, mourn and cry
Ger our gentle Savior's bidding,
And in the distant happy land,
With our sweet friend, we shall stand.
We all must do this gentle bidding,
That we might meet our Fannie there;
The gentle Savior called her in His fold,
To wear the golden crown of everlasting.

Why, Oh WHY

Does our city government demand
of railroad company using only
one street, to give a $4,000 bond,
(Which is an illegal demand) when
the street car companies are al
lowed to run all over the city, tear
up streets, and blockade the same
with unnecessary switches, and no
bond is required,-not even asked
for. "What kind OF bug rolls

Chinese Burial .

On Saturday morning last Chinaman
was buried in the lower portion Of the public
burying ground He had been sick for some
time with dropsy and being ward of the
County Commissioners, was buried by that
body. From general information he
appears not to have been in good standing
with his community for only two of his
brethren attended the sending off of his
spirit to the land where confucius resides,
He was lowered into his last resting place
and securely planted without tear to
bedew his grave. Various articles of grub
were placed at the feet including bottle of
valley Tan to help him on his way, but
strange to say that as soon as the spectators
left, SO did the grub The corpse must have
been buried with an empty stomach to be so
eager to fill up. DR.. VIM. Bell appeared to
be chief mourner and master of ceremonies
and conducted all the decorations, gssticu.
lstions and prayers for the dead which was
supposed to be in the Chinese tongue. at
least so he said. 1t is rumored around town
that the Chinese Emyeror is shortly to
decorate him with the order of the red
button which gives him the right to wear
two queues.

ounce of silver is worth about Is cents, an
ounce of gold as rule 500. Palladium,
which was discovered in 1903 by Wollaston,
is metal of steel.gray color and ffbrous
structure, and is paid for at the rate of 1928
per ounce. Osmum, brittle metal usually
found with platinum, cost $35 per ounce,
and iridium $40. Ruthenium, which is very
hard and brittle, brings $50 per ounce, and
niobium, also called columbian, first found
in New London, Conn, is very rare metal,
discovered in an ore oxide, is rated at 500
per ounce. Yttrium, discovered by Woeh
Ter in 1928, is a metal of grayish. black color,
with a perfectly metallic luster, which is
very rare. 1t is paid for at the rate of Sl2O
per ounce, while lithum, the lightest of all
metals, brings $3.50 per ounce.
Glucinum or beryllium, as it is also called
appears in the form of grayish. black pow.
der, made very lustrous by Furnishing. 1t
has a market value of SlS5 an ounce.
Barium nletal, which was Dissolve in 1908
is worth 5000 an ounce. and didymium, dis.
covered in 1916, and very rare indeed, brings
