Texas Independence.

This is the day on which all ma
tive Texans have reason to rejoice
1t is the "Fourth of July" of the
Lone Star State, and just fifty
eight years ago General Sam
Houston, and other distinguished
Texans signed the Declaration Of
Texas" Independence from the
Mexican Republic. The day is
passing very quietly in San Anto-
MO and no festivities Of any kind,
with the exception of a lunch
served by ladies on West Com
merce street, are in progress. The
only reminder of this being le-
gal holiday, Is the fact that the
County Commissioners court is
not in session, the public schools
are closed, the offices in the City
hall are closed and the marked
date in the almanac.

There Is a romantic feature to
the engagement to Miss Anna r..
Plat. After Judge Bartlett's NOM
ination to the Court Of Appeals
bench, it being the common opin-
ion that no Republican could be
chosen for that post, the young
woman, in a spirit half bantering,
half sincere, and respectful and ad.
miring, declared that II Judge
Bartlett was chosen by the people
of the state OF New York she, too,
would choose him and lay her
hand in his. On the morning after
the election the young woman
hardly knew how to extend her
congratulations. She was rejoiced
that Judge Bartlett had beaten,
She " anted to have him win, and
yet, on the other hand, there was
her promise, which she did not ex-
pect she would be called upon to
redeem. However, she has kept
her word.

A DECISION REACHED
The Hercules Iron Works Won the
Suit Against the Alamo Mills
Company.

Company.
The suit of the Hercules Iron
Works, of Illinois, against the Ala
mo Mills company, now known as
the Crystal Ice and Manufacturing
company, which has been on trial
in the Forty-fifth District court
ever since February IA, has at last
been decided.
The argument was completed
yesterday afternoon, but Judge
King withheld his charge to the
jury until this morning at $3.50
o'clock. The jury was out nearly
an hour, and at 1l:25 o'clock,
agreed on a verdict in favor OF
plaintiff in the sum of $4,Si5,S3,
with interest at the rate of 6 per
cent, dating from June 3, 1883,
making total Of $500, including
the debt.
This suit was filed In the Thirty
seventh District court In 1888, and
was later transferred to the Forty
fifth, where it was tried in jan
uary, 1890. Judgment was rem
dered for plaintiff for about the
same amount, and defendant APP
pealed the case and received a new
trial, which resulted as above
stated.
The suit was for a debt Of $500,
balance due. On December 20, 1887,
plaintiff entered into an agreement
with defendant, whereby plaintiff
agreed to furnish defendant an ice
making plant, complete, with a
daily capacity of forty tons Of ice,
the same to conclude two tanks
with all coils, valves, pumps, dis
tilling apparatus, filter, air pumps,
water coolers, ETC., and all wood
work connected with the plant
One.half of the plant was to be
ready by March l, 1888, and the
other half the following month,
and the Alamo Mills company was
to pay $l3,4S5 therefore, Of which
amount only part has been paid.
The attorneys in the case were S.
G.. Newton and HI. P Drought for
plaintiff and Denman Il Franklin
for defendants.
There is 10 court this afternoon.

Roof of the New Courthouse.

The county commissioners de-
cided yesterday afternoon to draw
up a new contract regarding the
material to be used in constructing
the roof of the new county court
house. The original contract
called for wooden roof, but it was
deemed advisable to change this to
iron and steel. A new contract
was drawn up and signed by both
the contractors, Messrs. Dugan and
Kroeger, and the commissioners.
The difference in the price was
agreed to be $15,566.44 by the ar
bitrators, who were appointed for
that purpose. Adam Maurer acted
as arbitrator in behalf OF the
county and George w. Bonham
looked out for the contractors in
terests.

morning the inhabitants of the
western portion Of the city, near
Milan park, were startled at hear
ing the report Of a pistol. 1t was
soon learned that Charles Philips,
a baker, had shot himself through
the head while seated on bench
in the above named park, with
suicidal intent.
AS soon as the news was spread
in that portion Of the city, Officers
Frank Seffel, r. G. Ellis and Ingle
repaired to the scene, arriving
before any one else. They found
Philips lying on the ground, face
downward, and head covered with
blood. They hurriedly summoned
Charles A. r. Campbell who viewed
the situation and suggested that a
physician be called. DR.. Menger
was sent for and reached the place
shortly after the occurrence. AS
the man was not dead it was not
necessary to send for a coroner. A
cot was secured and the dying man
was conveyed by the police officers
to the city's ward in the Santa
Rosa hospital, where an examina-
ton of the wound was made.
The pistol used was 3S-calibre
Harrington & Richardson, contain
ing four bullets and an empty cart
ridge, which is now in the hands
of Captain Cara. The bullet en-
tered Just above the left ear and
came out through the mouth. The
entire left side of the face was badly
burned by the powder. The faces
was swollen considerably, but that
was due to the toothache which
the man had been sufferer of for
several days.
The affair was witnessed by
"Bud" Gildea and f. A. White,
who were entering the park on the
north side, just as the shot was
fired. They were several yards
away from the man and were una
BILE to give any account of the deed
other than that they saw him raise
the revolver to his head and shoot.
A short while before the shoot
ing Philips went into Marks sa-
loon on the corner Of East and Com
merce streets, and ordered glass of
soda water. "Well, give me little
whiskey on the side," said he in
a Joking manner. He was
served and then ordered
cigar. Paying for the drinks
and cigar he said: 81 will be back
in little while and have another
drink" He then left, going in the
direction of the park.
Charles Philips is a man about
26 years Of age, wears no beard and
is short and rather heavy set,
weighing probably l65 pounds.
He was nicely dressed and made
the appearance Of one who had been
out on a social spree with the boys,
though was not intoxicated at the
time he visited Marks saloon. He
has been a resident of San Antoine
for a number of years, having been
employed at Bryant's as a baker.
At one time he was the proprietor
of the Gel de Mayo" saloon. He
was an Industrious young man and
never was known to be rude. He
had recently returned from a visit
to Houston, and was pushed for
money. This fact is the only
cause assigned for the rash act.
AS the LIGHT goes to press Phil
Ups is still alive though his physi-
clans have given him up and his
expiration is momentarily expect
ed. He has been breathing heavily
from the first and cannot live
through the day.

The women Know Best.

Much comment has been caused by the
official reports of the United States and
Canadian governments, in which are
presented the evidences Of the superior
strength, purity and wholesomeness OF
the Royal Baking Powder.
1t is true that the good housewife looks
upon concentrations of the ROYAL Bak-
ing Powder from scientists and official
sources such as these very much like
1.-THE gliding OF refined gold" Her prac-
teal experience long since taught her in
the most convincing way the great use
fuluess and superiority OF the Royal
article. a higher proof than this she
does not want and cannot have. Yet it
is pleasant for her to realize that the
facts established by these great competi-
tive tests, these scientific examinations
made under direction OF the government,
exactly parallel those sne had before
worked ont in her own commOn-sense,
practical way.
1t does not appear that any baking
powder, when presented in competition
with the Royal, either at the govern
ment tests or before Worlds Fair juries,
has ever received favor or award over the
Royal or made an equal showing IN
purity, strength or wholesomeness.

Tie nIrgest Fresh water Cargo.

The new steamer Selwyn Eddy, the
largest freight carrier ia the world float
ing on fresh water, was loaded recently
for her initial trip. She carries the larg-
est cargo Of wheat ever shipped on the
lakes. a close estimate places her exact
capacity at 10000 bushels or about 30,
600 bushels more than the largest cargo
ever carried on the lakes
An ordinary freight car carries about
SEQ bushels Of wheat, and the Selwyn
Eddy's cargo is equal to 300 carloads
A train containing 300 cars would be
about two miles long. Twelve engines
would be required to draw such a train.
The cargo of the Eddy, if ground into
-four and made into bread, would feed
80 900 people for one year.

HOW shrimp. arc caught.

The shrimps sold in the city are caught
during the night before by casters, "
who go, two in a boat, to some favored
locality and there ~''cast" all night long
for the delicious little c"rustacean that
is served up at nearly every breakfast
table in the city in the morning. Cast
ing" is the throwing widespread ON
the water of a circular net, the edge of
which is weighted with leaden balls and
provided with drawing strings, which,
passing through the center of the net.
are attached to the edges.
The net when cast in the water Of
course sinks more rapidly at the edges
than in the middle and confines within
its meshes the shrimps over which it
may have fallen. The rope to which is
attached the drawing string being pull
ed, the net closes at the bottom and is
lifted into the boat with its contents.
When Aurora begins his work of tint
ing the eastern sky, those hardy casters
are ON their way to the city. Here they
hand over their booty to men who cry
them about the streets, measuring the
shrimps out to them from their boats
by the ''plates" or pan, the seller agree
ing to sell the shrimps and hand over
the proceeds, less a liberal commission.
