ATTACKED BY FOOTBALLS.
A Well Known Merchant Maltreated
and Robbed-NoC Clue to the Thief.

Mr.. Antonio Bruni, formerly city
market master, and lately we'll
TODD grocer on South East street,
near Milan Square, was waylaid
by footpads last night as he was on
his way home with sack of money
containing about $50, the cash Sc
cured from the days sales in his
grocery.
He closed his store about 1880
o'clock and with his money in
one hand and a pistol in the
other, walked along East street
and into Laredo. He had arrived
almost at his front gate, at his resi-
dence, near the corner of
Arsenal street on South Laredo
where some one stepped up behind
him and dealt him a blow with
some instrument which complete
ly stunned him and which may
prove very serious to him. The
robber secured the sack of money
and made good his escape.
Mr.. Bruni was rendered uncon-
scious by the blow and does
not know how long he remained
where he fell. When he recovered
he crept into his house and gave the
alarm and the police and a physi-
clan were summoned. The former
COUP find no immediate trace of
the assassin, though a thorough
search was made.
The doctor found the injury to be
only a scalp wound, though ex-
tending to the skull. 1t was done
seemingly with a sharp instru-
ment like a Ratchet.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying
IBY Col. JAS. P. NEwCOMB.I


The water works agitation re-
suited in a compromise with the
Water company instead of the city
owning it's own plant. The great
est disappointment in this whole
business is that the city will not
put out a large sum Of money,
based on its credit, these hard
times.
The sewer proposition remains,
to be considered. Should the peo-
pie vote $4,000 for sewers, it
would put new life into the town
besides inaugurating an improve
ment that every day becomes more
and more necessary for the preser-
walton of the community.
How to keep San Antonio up is
a problem we'll worth the serious
attention of every property owner.
What has sewers to do with it Z?
Well | have little extract from
an exchange that will throw some
light on it.
Berlin is a clean, well-governed
city, and one OF the results OF its
good municipal administration is
a low death rate, 1853 per thousand.
The scientific sanitary views Of
Prof. Rudolf Virchow were consult
ed in making the modern system
of sewerage and drainage, and
within a comparatively few years
the death rate in the city has been
reduced 40 per cent. 1t is not gen.
orally known that since 1880, Ber-
lin has been growing as fast as Chi
scago, faster than New York, and
twice as fast as Philadelphia. Ham
burg has grown three times as safe
as Boston since 1878. Leipsic gains
more inhabitants every year than
San Francisco, and Munich, Bres-
lau, Cologne and Magdeburg are
adding population quite as rapidly
as American cities Of the same
class.
San Antonio should study these
figures; they show how many
large cities keep up their popula-
tion.
The people would like to hear
from the city council on the sewer
question, since one of the most val
liable concessions gained from the
Water company related to sewers.

Waco, Tex, Aug. 20.-rhe unfortun-
ate scene at the public speaking last
night at the city hall has been the
subject of much talk today among To-
cal politicians. BY many II Is regard
ed as the old fractional differences of
1892 cropping out again. Those who
advocated Judge Clark are condemning
Hon. Richard II. Harrison, chairman
Of the Democratic central committee.
Mr.. Harrison could not be found last
night and the Gazette correspondent
met him this morning in his office and
asked for an expression regarding his
connection, II any, with last nights
episode. Mr.. Harrison was frank, had
nothing to keep back, and said:
1.-THE statement going the rounds that
five members OF the campaign commit
tee were unanimous in favor Of Mr..
Kingsbury representing the Democra-
cy. and that l myself opposed It, bears
its own contradiction on it's face, for
the committee is composed of only FIVE
members, and II there were five MEM
beers in favor Of Mr.. Kingsbury, that
gentleman would have spoken.
Just here, l wish to say that the
question was not whether Mr.. Kings
bury should or should not speak, but
was, who had the right to select the
speaker, whether. the Democratic COM
mittee of Ave, who were constituted
and appointed for the purpose OF con-
Quoting the campaign and furnishing
speakers, or outside parties, who as
sumed to themselves the right to take
the management OF the campaign out
OF the hands of the commlttee?' This
was the issue. The committee had
selected Mr.. Thomas. Outside parties
undertook to substitute Mr. KingsburX.
The action OF the committee had been
circumvented ON several occasions, and
indeed, to such an extent that two of
the committeeman, j. II. Harrison, ESQ,
and Hon. w. w. Evans, had resigned
because of It.
at was this effort to override the
selection Of the committee that brought
about the resignation of two Of the
members above mentioned and produce
ed whatever confusion now exists.
1.-THE question presented to me was
whether to stand by the action of the
duly constituted authorities or yield
TO those who We're trying to overthrow
the committee Of course upheld the
action Of the duly authorized commit
tee, whose action ana authority must
be respected If we are TO have sue
cessful campaign"
