The New Central Market.

Situated on the beautiful grounds
known as Bowen's Island, in the
heart of the city, and accessible
from three different points, has
been selected and leased by the
San Antonio Gardeners associa-
ton, for a term of five years for
the purpose Of a union market,
where gardeners, farmers, buck
sters and all dealers in produce
can sell or buy everything mar
ketable in a fair and legitimate
manner.
When the public at large,
whether afoot or in carriages can
purchase their meat, fish, veget-
ables, fruit, ETC., in the shade,
without the necessity of having to
remain in the hot, broiling sun to
be waited on the change is much
for the better.
A reporter for the LIGHT visited
the market yesterday,and was con-
Quoted through the grounds by the
president, Mr.. Louis Layer, and the
secretary, Mr.. Chas. Wesenberg,
who fully explained the OBJ
jects and benefits of those belong
ing to the Gardeners association.
Many improvements and new
buildings are going up, drive.ways
are constructed and everything
made to look clean and inviting.
The grounds throughout will be
lighted with electricity and tele-
phone will be put in the office for
the convenience of members, as
we'll as customers who wish to or
der from home. Farmers having
produce to sell can find ample room
! to camp on the grounds, where
feed, water and shade for the ami
mails can be had.
ave hope this venture will prove
a success" said Mr.. Layer "and il
fair treatment and honest dealings
can gain the confidence and pat
ronage of a generous public, we in
tend building up a market second
to none in the state"
"You can also state that the
grounds are free to all having any
produce to sell up to September lst
After that the nominal charge o
$3.50 per month will be made.

HOUSTON CHOSEN.
Sharp Fight Over the Adoption of
the Majority Rule-Bexar Dele
cation Captures the Vote for
Their Man

Their Man.
As forecast In the LIGHT yesterday,
Hon. A. w. Houston, of Bexar, was yes
terday afternoon nominated by the Dem
ocraSic convention for the 18th district, TO
make the race for Congress.
The vote, after the adoption Of the ma
iority rule, was as follows:
Houston 81, PaSchal II, Goggin 13.
On re-assembling in the afternoon re-
ports of the three committees were first
presented.
Permanent organization reported in
favor of adopting the temporary oFgani-
cation. This was done.
The committee also reported in favor
of adopting the majority rule. A
minority report was presented on
upon the question of adoption of the ma
jOrity rule. A vote was finally taken
which resulted in the adoption Of the
majority report by vote Of 35I against
28S8
The platform committee reported in
favor of adopting the platform of the
State Democratic convention. a minor
ity report on this was presented. This
report was tabled and the majority re-
port was adopted by a vote of 46 6
againstl7 1-6.
Committee on resolutions reported as
follows:
That we deplore the abuse of appoint
i've offices for partisan purposes, ana that
in ,reaffirming the Democratic principle
that public Office is a public trust" we
demand the fullest enforcement of the
existing civil service laws and their eX-
tension to every branch OF the public ser e
vice, and that we endorse Representative
Bailey'S bill now pending before Con-
greSS, which is designed to prevent men,
berS of the National Legislature acting
as brokers' for applicants for appoint
ment in the civil service.
Resolved, That we deprecate the IA
tariff bill and that we demand the aboli-
ton of all tariff tax on lead ores.
Resolved, That 1t is the sense of this
convention that the National govern
ment should reserve the right to buy any
patent that many hereafter be issued by
the government under rules and regHla-
tions to be prescribed by law.
Resolved, That the nominee of this
convention shall support all efforts made
in the next House of representatives to
suppress the dealing in futures in cotton,
wheat, corn ann meat.
This report was not adopted.
Hon. A. w. Houston, Hon. 7. NJ. Pas
Chal and Hon. James NJ. GOggin were
then nominated. Houston was elected.
Mr.. II. c. Carter, of Val Verde county,
was chosen as chairman of the Twelfth
Congressional district executive commit
tee. He was instructed TO appoint seven
mem berS of the committee.
The convention then adjourned.
The counties which wanted the two
third rule adopted were greatly diSSatiS-
fled with the result and many significant
growlS were heard
The general opinion seems to be that
Mr.. Houston is the best man the Demo-
Gratis can put up, but all cOncede that
Judge NoOnan can beat him easily and
all seem to be glad that there will be a
Republican Congressman in the House
from Southwest Texas.

Wagner & Chabot.

From Our Democratic Contributor.
To the Daily LIGHT.
With that wantOn disregard for
the rights of others, Bexar county
throttled the wishes Of oyer thirty
counties for twO-third rule in the
late Congressional Democratic con.
ventiOn; with utter disregard of
national and state platforms, it
forced the nomination for congress-
man on a protection Democrat,
well knowing that the protection
ideas are Republican and not DEM
Ocratic, and that if these ideas are
TO prevail successfully the Re-
publican candidate deserves and
should receive our support.
1t is in order now, for consistent
cy's sake, that the Republican EX-
ecutive committee of Bexar coun-
ty endorse the action of its So
called Democratic brethren, but
inasmuch as there is a call for a
Republican convention, the very
great Likelihood is that instead of
endorsing the Democratic nominee
they will make a nomination of
their own, and so arran ge matters
that the next Texas delegation to
Congress will not all sit on the
same side of the aisle.
The Democracy - straight - of
Bexar county, falling of recogni-
ton, is free, after giving loyal sup
port to the nominees on the state
platform, with which they are in full
accord, to vote for either the DEM
OcratiC or Republican nominee for
Congress, since that nominee is
outside of its party tenets. l for
one, prefer the genuine honest pro-
tectiOnist to the one who | believe
merely announces himself so, for
the sake Of catching votes. The
outlook has never been more fav.
Orable for a Republican congress-
man, provided popular man like
Judge NOOnan gets the nOmina.
UiOn--thau at present; for counties
that will remain in the Democra.
tic column will make an excep.
ton on the congressman and tel.
Mr.. Huntington that there are
enough railroad attorneys in Con
gress already.
STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT.

Returned From the Resorts.

DR.. w r. Patrick, leading ply
stefan of Bracket, is in the city,
accompanied by his wife, and stop
ping at the Mahncke. They have
just returned from an extensive
pleasure trip through the north
and east, having visited such re-
sorts as Niagara Falls, Montreal,
Lewiston, Saratoga, Long Branch,
Coney Island, Ocean View, Allan
tic City, Asbury Park, Cape May
and other places. The doctor says
it was the first visit north in two
years and that Niagara Falls, nor
Long Branch nor Coney Island are
as popular now as formerly. Those
three places are deserted compared
to Atlantic City ana Asbury Park.
The cause of it, he says, is attribut-
ed to the enormous high prices
charged for everything at Long
Branch, Coney Island and Niagara
Falls.

Though the VeruQrites are
knocked out again, they are still

Geo. II. Noonan can carry the
18th district by from 1000 to 5000
majority.
The story about Col. Gus. Hous.
ton working on farm will not
catch any labor votes.
Noonan will now carry every
west of San Antonio, and
put old Bexar down for 5000 ma
jority.
One delegate from the west said
last night: "They crammed him
down our throats; | am bound per-
but have over hundred
votes for Noonan.
Col. Gus Houston says the Geo.

on.
If the Big 4 open their mouths
against Noonan they Will find the
friends who voted for sewers, will
hit where it will be felt.
The wool-pulling circus, between
the colored bosses begins at Dali

very few white sheep in this herd.
Col. Gus Houston's straddle on
the wool and cattle interests, is too
late. The free trade bill has passed.
Only a Republican can do us any
good now.
The convention yesterday
all over the free trade |
platform, and the Express this
talks about how badly the
free wool advocates were left.
The Southern Pacific Railway
company has controlled politics in

their influence will not save the

Senior Jose Maria Cardenas Ma

from Toluca, Mexico, was asked
yesterday by LIGHT reporter
few questions about the condition
of his part of the Republic, the
State of Mexico. He said:
under the administration OF the
present governor, Hon. Jose vi
cente Villada, Mexico is very pro-
gressive. He has raised the stand
ard of the public schools to very
high degree of excellence. Indeed,
they will now compare favorably
with the schools of the United

German branches are taught, as
well as the Spanish.
eve have fine crops this year,
and have had abundant rains. Our
principal crops are corn, wheat,
oats and hava.

300 feet above the level of the sea.
The temperature ranges from So to
ga degrees the year round, and we
are very healthy. The City of To-

world.
1--WE have a large number OF
Americans in our state, mostly
agriculturists, stockmen and mer-
chants. Foreigners are afforded
equal protection with the natives
unde r the law, and their taxes are
no higher.
''In six years the city Of TOluca
has made over $l,0O0,000 worth of
public improvements while in the
state we are building railroads as
fast as we can. The Tehuantepec
railway across the continent, is
now finished, owing to the speed

The postal card is often very handy.
An English member of parliament has
made suggestion to the effect that the
postal lava should permit the transmits
sion through tho mails of any card what-
ever of tho regulation size bearing a.
adhesive 1-cent stamp. We are disposs4
to back up this suggestion. Its adoption
would save money to the postofice de-
partment and would be very convenient
at times to people who do not happen to
have postal cards at hand when needed.
1t would often be especially convenient
to people in the rural districts. We
do not know that it would be against
any law to mail an ordinary white card
bearing u 1-cent stamp. We recently
heard of case in which card Of this

SPRING VALLEY, Ills,, July 12.-Yester-
day IN Spring Valley passed without in
terest, except the funeral of the Italian.
Dominic Bian, who was killed by United
States troops. The funeral was the largest
ever witnessed in this city Friends and
sympathizers of the dead are swearing
vengeance upon the heads Of the United
States soldiery. The coroner's jury found
that the man 'cande to his death by
gunshot wound fred at the hands of
Company L, Fifteenth regiment, under
Captain Conrad, and that deceased was
engaged in peaceful and lawful occupa-
tion at the time; that the shooting was un-
called for, aud an unwarranted use of mill
ttary power against an inoffensive citizen.
Further, that the treatment of the dead
body Biam and of law abiding citizens af-
ter the shooting was brutal in the extreme.
And the jury would recommend that the
conduct of said troops while in Spring
Valley on July 10 be investigated by the
proper authorities"
More deputies arrived last night, but
everything is very quiet The city is
guarded by militiamen, and no one can
enter or leave the city without being sub
jected to vigorous examination ut the
hands of the pickets.
