SLEPT ON THE GROUND.
A Visitors Strange Experience Last
Saturday Night.


Mr. H. T. II. Ray, deputy sheriff. of
Fayette county, was in town from Null
doom last Saturday and made his head
quarters at the Arcade hotel on West
Commerce street. When night came he,
in company with number of friends
took pleasant walk about the city,
dropped into a saloon occasionally and
ordered what they wanted.
After they had been out several hours
Mr.. Ray went back to the hotel and to
his room on the second floor TO retire.
Early Sunday morning VIII Riddle, one
of his friends, called on him, but Mr..
Ray was not in. He looked around the
place and finally went to the window.
To his horror he saw his friend lying
in heap on the ground below, apparent
ly lfeless. He rus he'd down stairs, mott
fed the clerk, B. L. Merrill, and ran to
where Ray was. He shook him and sue
ceededed in arouSing him.
Where am / at, anyway" queried Roy,
when he awoke.
Why, you're,down on the ground, man;
you fell out of that window up there" re-
piled his friend, pointing to a window
Of the second floor in the rear of the build
ing, and about twenty-five feet above the
spot where Ray fell.
The men Immediately examined Ray to
see whether or not any bones were
broken, or whether he had been hurt
otherwise, but the only injuries discover
ed were on his lip and tongue, which were
cut by his teeth.
DIR. Applewhite was sent for, but could
not locate any further injuries. Ray at
the beginning coughed up little blood,
but the doctor prescribed a remedy for
that and he is again all right.
Ray said TO reporter for the LIGHT
yesterday: We'll, how / fell to the
ground | am sure ! can't tell. / don't re-
member going to any room and don't
know anything that occurred last night,
except where we were. | believe / was
drugged, but | was with my friends all
the while. I've Travelled all over the
country. in fact all over the world, and
it's the first time such thing has ever
happened to me. / am out seven dollars
and don't know where that went to, but
may be I've spent that. If l really fell
out of that window, can surely thank
my stars that am still alive"
Mr.. Ray left for home yesterday.

THE HUSTLER, WEDNESDAY.

That Thomas H. Davis and William T.
Keogh are two of the most enterprising
managers In this. country, is amply
evinced by the continued success of their
great farce comedy, The Hustler, from
year to year. Each season it has been i'm
proved till it seemed that further i'm
provement was impossible. The audi
ences who have witnessed it from time to
time in the past, have expressed we'll de-
served surprise that the standard or ex-
cellence Of the attraction could be so con-
stantly raised. This year Messrs. Davis
& Keogh have excelled themselves. The
Hustler is bigger, better and more brill
liant than ever before.

Seaside.
ROPEsvILLE, Sept. q, 1894.
To the Daily LIGHT:
Having at last found the long
sought "haven Of rest" | conclude
it would be selfish not to advise
you of it's whereabouts. l have
been from He'll Gate to Gold Gate
but never before found such sweet,
pure breeze. No sea weed on this
side Of the bay and the Gulf side is
perfect. As left San Antonio in
quest of pure air and fish l was
naturally much disappointed on
arriving at ROckport. The smell
of seaweed there is bad and as for
fish one must catch his own fish
and get some one to cook it.
Being advised to try the Island
we ventured across in spite of pre-
dictiOns of storms. The sail was
made in about two hours on the
mail boat and proved a most de-
lightful trip.
On arriving at the Life Saving
Station we came upon "Nelson's
monument" the jetties which are
fast washing away. That even is a
sight worth coming to see. We regis
tered at the Seaside hotel, here
to find Capt. Shardein and Mr.. Mic
Cosgrove enjoying an ideal life ;
fishing in the cool hours and read
ing their prayer book" between
times. All the summer visitors
are gone except few enthusiastic
fishermen. While I write / look
from my window and see our party
at the pass-Judge Dunn fishing

know | shall find fish, oysters and
crabs prepared in the most rimp.
