A Correction.

Mr.. Paul Moreaux, Jr., states
that the origin of the fire as re-
ported in the LIGHT of last Friday
was incorrect. That it was from a
lighted match in the hands Of a
collector in the front OF the build
ing. A load of goods was being
checked for delivery, among which
was the can Of gasoline that
caught fire from the match.
There were so many conflicting
stories of the origin, after the fire,
that the reporter took the one
from the most reliable informant
he could find, Mr.. G. A. r. Camp
bell. When the reporter asked Mr..
Moreaux for a statement he could
get no definite answer about any
thing.

was $4,000, on stock $5l,0O. DAM

A Liberal Proposition.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug 20.-Win-
dow glass workers have made a
proposition to the manufacturers
which makes an allowance for the
reductions in the tariff and will
prevent many disputes in factor

ent prices for every variation in
size or quality, prices remain the
same for any size within certain
limits, while the matter Of quality
will not be a factor. The manu-
facturers look kindly upon the
proposition.

Making Dead Men Breathe.

Many methods of restoring the
apparently dead have lately been
advocated, but the most original
plan is that inaugurated by DR.. De
Baum. DIR. De Baum took il upon
himself to state that il man died
simply for a want OF breath there
is no reason why he should not live,
and the medico proceeded to prove
his assertion. He passed a small
rubber tube through the nose OF an
apparently dead infant and down
into the throat. Closing the mouth, ,.
he forced the air through the tube
from a rubber bag, initiating the
lungs. He then released the press
ure from the mouth and found, as
he expected, that the elasticity Of
the muscles Of the chest caused
immediate contraction Of the lungs
forming a complete respiration.
This is said to have been kept up
for forty-five minutes, at the end
of which time natural respiration
was restored and the life OF tho
child was saved. The success of
this experiment induced DR.. De
Baum to make further tests, and he
is reported to have discovered that
animation may often be restored
by this means within fifteen min

From Our Democratic Contributor


"a little nonsense now and then
is relished by the best of men,"
Frank Grice's paper, paper that
never had friendly word for any
Democratic candidate heretofore
or now nominated save and except
for the attorney OF &. w. Brecken-
ridges waterworks and Of the San
Antonio National bank, now calls
the delegation, Of which he was
member, the regular democracy Of
Bexar county and anticipates the.
joy Of cOngratulating Hon. A. w
Houston, brother of the assignee
of the Maverick bank, and general
attorney Of the Arkansas Pass rail-
way, in his prospective nOmina-
ton, as a recently made woolly
protection democrat as congress
man Of this district.
AS far as the nomination of Judge
Denmann is concerned, every one
can and ought to rejoice over the
honor done BeXar county even il
once he asked for federal supervis-
ion Of our election; and If the COM
mittee OF twenty-five will turn out
to give an ovation to Judge Flem-
ing and the late chairman of the
credentials committee, now Of the
state executive committee, eX-Sen-
ator r. H. Burney,we will not seek
to deprive them OF their pleasure,
since it is muchly due to these
two, that the united Democracy of
the state, had the genuine Demo-
cracy from BeXar county not adj
mitted, but perferred those select
ed by the Office holders of Bexar,
now mostly in office now under
collision Of the old Republican and
Democratic BeXar Executive COM
mittee.
But it cannot be denied that
much good has been done in Dali
las; only our city attorney got of
wrong when he believed that the
action OF the state convention
would nullify our county nominal
ing convention, who instructed
against a majority rule in the COM
ing congressional convention.
There is another error, based upon
a late fawning cringe to "the pow
ers that be" and many of those
who instructed our future legisla-
tors for Mr.. Horace Chill
ton have them now without
any instruction for the re-
united Democracy minus the
local Democracy-has declared in
it's platform against the fallacies
advocated by the young man who
played marbles with our governor,
who is morally nice since he views
the passing away Of power like a
philosopher. 1t is not too late, I'M
der new order of the state Democ-
racy, to trot out a m3n-not neces-
sarily from Tyler now-whO can
represent us in the American House
of Lords, if Senator Coke, "Old
Brains" intends to retire.
/ wonder what the Express will
do, if the Bexar Democracy still
stays united, not necessarily as an
enemy to the fusionists, but on
principle, for straight Democracy.

George Sampson Explains,

To the Daily LIGHT.
In this mornings issue of the
Express, the reporter quoted talk
between Mr.. Weiss and myself,
saying that Mr.. w. had asked my
advice, what to do. The reporter
has certainly been misin-
formed. What | said TO Mr..
w. was that w. f. Cox, til
attorney of the strikers, had spo-
ken to me, and that perhaps he
might be able to make a settle
ment, on terms, satisfactory to
both sides, provided he could get
an interview with Mr.. Weiss, in
conjunction with a committee Of
the men; which Mr.. w. said he
was perfectly willing to do.
