ALL A FIZZLE.
Mass Meeting of Employees Poorly
Attended Last Night-Peace
Was Counseled and
Adopted.

Attended Last Night-Peace
Was Counseled and
Adopted.
The street car strike which was
to have come off this morning on
the San Antonio Company's
lines has, seamfngly ended in
nothing, as all cars. were running
on schedule time today, beginning
at an early hour this morning.
That the men, or some of them, in
tended to strike there can be no
doubt, as a mass meeting of the
mOtormen and conductors was
held last night in Convention hall,
from 1880 until 4 o'clock this
morning at which perhaps 30 or 60
men were present. The cut in
wages was thoroughly discussed
and while the action Of the en-
ploying corporation was very gen.
orally condemned it is believed
the pasiticators prevailed and 1T
was decided not to tie up the lines
of the road.
The cut extends to the salaries of
the working officers OF the road,
viz. the superintendent, cashier
and secretary and is made because
of light business at this season of
the year. President Weiss says it
is only temporary or until business
picks up.
Several of the men have not gone
to work today, but whether they in
tended to walk out or oversight
themselves on account of the late
hour of retiring after the meeting
is not known.
The men took their cars into the
sheds and walked back from San
Pedro park and Tenth street to the
meeting, although one car was Or
dered out by the superintendent to
take large number of the men to
the meeting. Early in the evening
the superintendent consulted with |
the police authorities to claim pro-
lection in case of need for the COM
pany's property, but such protec.
ton was not required, as the men
were peaceably inclined and no
demonstrations so far have been
made.

A Little Snake Story.

"The snake is dead !" So says the
manager, and the reporter humbly
bows to that decree, for he knows
it to be a fact. 1t was killed early
on Sunday morning, on Garden
street, and the killing was done by
Charlie Degen. He says so, and
the evidence is strongly confirma-
tory. The facts are these: Hearing
a row in his chicken coop, Degen
went there, to shoe off rats, or a
strange cat, and while so doing, he
caught in his hand something cold
and Shiny, that wriggled away.
Then he got a light and killed
either a chicken or whip snake
four feet long. Some of the boys
tease Charlie and say that the
snake came from a spurious
source, but Charlie denies this, and
has the headless reptile to prove
his assertion. Anyway, there's a
dead snake, and the story is ended

AN AGED LoTHARIo
Falls a Victim to His Life of Dissi-
patton and Becomes Insane.

rains NlcClm TO his Lie OF DlSsl-
patton and Becomes Insane.
Feliciano Hernandez, an aged
Mexican property holder of Ward
No. l, was before the county court
yesterday afternoon and an in
vestigatiOn of his sanity was made.
The testimony Of City Marshal
Druse and Policemen Beck and
Ingle and eX-Policeman Joe Nc.
Clellan was taken. They stated
that he was about So years of age,
a widOwer and childless. He lived
on the corner of Durango and South
San Saba streets, where he owned
lot and a house containing y
rooms, each of which rooms he
rented at 81 per month, thereby
netting himself a nice income per
month. He was in former years a
very quiet citizen, though of late
had given himself up to the use of
intoxicating liquors and the COM
pany of lewd women. When I'M
der the influence of ardent spirits
he was murderOusly insane, hav-
ing twice, recently, while drunk,
used firearms in shooting prOmiscu-
Ously about his premises, and had
at one time attempted to kill Of
fiCer Beck. On the occasion of his
last Incarceration in the city jail,
he had evidenced such pronounced
symptoms of insanity as to induce
the marshal to make affidavit for
an investigation and hearing of
his case. He'was adjudged insane,
and his estate will be taken in
charge by the probate court, while
he is sent to the asylum as a pri-
Vate patient.

RUNNING DOWN WHEELMEN
How Reckless Drivers Endanger
the Lives and Property of
Our Citizens.

According to the law a bicyclist
has the same rights to the use of
our streets as any buggy, cart or
wagOn-nO more or no lesS-and
yet there are many drivers who
will drive recklessly on to bicycles,
endangering the life of the rider
and his property. An instance Of
this kind occurred on the Alamo
Heights on Sunday, of which Mr..
Louis Degen complains to a LIGHT
man in the following way: son
Sunday Miss Kate Degen, Mr.. H.
Kohler, Mr.. Wahlquist, myself
and other friends went for a spin
to Alamo Heights. When near
the power house a buggy, we'll
loaded, deliberately drove right in
to Mr.. Wahlquist's wheel. He
turned aside to avoid a collision
and was thrown violently to the
ground. Not satisfied with this
the driver then tried to run down
Miss Degen's wheel and in try
ing to escape she too was
thrown off, and then they
drove off, laughing outright as if
their outrageous conduct was very
funny. | tried to catch the parties
to have them arrested, but there
was strong wind dead against me
and they escaped, but if l can
catch on to the parties l will GER
tainly prosecute them. AS result
both, Miss Degen and Mr.. VAIL
quist were badly shaken and bruis-
ed, and might have sustained in
juries Of more serious character.
1t is high time that the wheelmen
of San Antonio took concerted &C
ton to show foolish and reckless
drivers that if they will not act in
courteous and humane manner
that wheelmen have rights that
the law will make them respect

THAT ALAMO REFUGEE.
is an Impostor and Unworthy
Of Credence.

Custodian Rife Thinks That Rose
is an Impostor and Unworthy
Of Credence.
"Some time ago, years after the
fall of the Alamo" said Mr.. Tom
Rife, custodian of that historic
building to a San Antonio LIGHT
reporter, ga man named Rose
gained con siderable notoriety in
newspapersarticles and interviews,
in which he claimed to have been
in the Alamo at the time it was
besieged by General Santa Anna
in 1886, and how shortly before its
fall he escaped in a most remark
able manner. In these stories he
tells how Travis drew line with
his sword and called upon those
who were prepared to fight and die
with him to cross that line. And
he pathetically tells how Bowie,
then sick upon his cot, requested
that his cot be carried over that
line. Those who did not want to
follow Travis were at liberty to
leave, and Rose, by his admission,
was one of those who de-
serted Travis in his extremity.
This incident is pretty except
for Roses cowardly shading, but
none knew or ever heard of it I'M
til Rose talked, and in my opinion
his story is simply plagiarism of
that told of Pizzaro, the conquerer
of Peru. The Spaniard, on his ar
rival drew a sword, and drawing a
line with his sword on the sea sand
he called upon all those who would
follow him for honor or booty to
cross the line. l am aware that
there are some who believe Roses |
story, but the fact that Roses name |
does not appear among the fatal
garrison Of the Alamo has no con-
temporaneous mention in the arch
ives of the state, and he is I'M
known to the old citizens leads me |
to believe that he is a fraud, and |
that his stories are unworthy of
credence."
