HooDooED BY A HORSESHOE.
Pirates Pitcher Got 1t and Gave the
PhilIies the Game

Philadelphia, June 15.-some local ad-
mirers of Monte" Cross gave him floral
horseshoe in the first inning and in return
Monte" gave the game to the Phillies in
the fifth. He made three wild throws and
Hart and Cnngman followed suit in the
same inning, netting three runs for the
locals. Hart was pounded all over the
field until Cannon relieved him in the
fifth, but they made five hits off him, too
McGin, on the other hand, was more
effective and Beam took his place in the
ninth to save his arm. The only noteworthy
piece of work by the Pirates was a clever
double play in the third, when Hamilton
went out, Clingman to BeckIey, and the
latter returned the ball to third in time
to catch Delehanty. Attendance, II ,2SS.

HON. ALBERT E. RECKMANN.

Prominently identified with the
interests of our city is the above
gentleman, who has been entrust-
ed with share of the municipal
ruling of San Antonio. Mr.. Beck
mann, who is our alderman from
the Sth ward, was born on Septem-
Der, Nth, 1856, in San Antonio.
His early literary training was re-
ceived at our German-English
school, and was continued at the
Polytechnic school in Hanover,
Germany, in which place he re-
manned from 1871 to 1875, taking a
course in architecture. On his re-
turn to his native city he became a
craftsman for Mr.. Albert Giles, in
whose office he remained for three
years. At the expiration of this
time he became typographical as
sistant in the L. S. engineer CORPS,
and was in that body during the
year 1882. In the latter part of
1882 he started in business with J.

charge of the construction of the
Custom House Postoffice at Pie
dras Negras, Mexico, for the Next

opened an office here. He has been
alderman for some time, and is
chairman of the committee on

mann firmly believes that the peo-
pie ought to pay their taxes if they
want the comforts of home and
city.

HON. WILLIAM HOEFLING

Is prominent politician and a
most thorough and polite business
gentleman, and his qualities are
thoroughly appreciated by all his
fellOw-citiZens, who have returned
him to office time and time again
without regard to politics. His
own good sterling qualities, as one
who will faithfully serve the peo-
pie, keep their interest foremost
and do everything in his power to
advance the city, have kept him
ever in the van of civilization and
good citizenship. Mr.. Hoefling
was born in Germany in 1885,
where he received a public school
education. In 1858 he came to
New York, leaving the old coun-
try, and Immediately enlisted in
the regular army. In 1857, with
the rest of his company, he was
transferred to San Antonio, and re-
manned here until 1859, when he
received his honorable dismissal.
On leaving the army be began the
butcher business, and remained in
that business until the breaking
out of the civil war, when he join
ed the Confederate army, and serv-
ed in the Artillery Commissary de!
partment, etc. AT the close of his
career as a Confederate soldier he
again went into the butcher bust
ness, in which trade you will find
him located now. From 1880 until
1888 he was elected to serve as
county commissioner, and in 1888
up to the present date has held the
position of city alderman. Mr..
Hoefling is chairman of the COM
mittee of Public Improvements,
and is also member of the AS
sessment committee, Markets,
Parks and Public Buildings, SAM
tary and Hospital and Sidewalks.
He is also a member of the Casino
club, the Beethoven Maennerchor,
Knights of Honor, United Work
men and the San Antonio Maenn-
erchOr. The LIGHT congratulates
Mr.. Hoefiing, and wishes him all
possible success in his career.
HON. FRED KERBLE.
Nothing affords the LIGHT more
pleasure than to notice the success
of honest, persevering effort, di-
rected by intelligence and persist
ency, which knows no such word as

efforts of the gentleman whose
name heads this article. Mr.. Kerr
bic was born in the Empire state
in 1913. He was educated in the |
public schools of that state, and |
after leaving school he served an
apprenticeship to moulder, and
became thoroughly conversant
with that trade. For a number of
years subsequent to this appren-
he worked at the moulders

HON. W. G. RoBARDs.

The citizenship of San Antonio
is among the best in the great
Lone Star state, inasmuch as it
ranks in it's midst men of brain,
talent and energy. This is espec-
tally the case with our board of al
dermen. This body represents the
highest type of modern, progress
sive citizenship and among these
representative men is Mr.. w. c..
Robards, mayor pro temps, and
chairman of the most important
committee of our council, namely
the finance committee.
Mr.. Richards halls from the
great state of Tennessee, having
first seen the light of day in Mem
phis, that state, in 1850. When
but IL years of age he removed to
the great Lone Star state, and here
he was reared, coming to San An
tonic in 1879. For the past fifteen
wears he has been engaged in the
cotton business and is now men,
Der of the well known cotton firm
of Slayden, Clarkson & Robards.
He is one of the members of the
board of aldermen, elected at large.
His career as a member of this
body is above the average and is
marked by the progressiveness of
the man. 1t has been his constant
endeavor to promote the welfare of
his adopted city and at the same
time to curtail the useless expendi-
ture of the citizens money. In the
prime of physical manhood and
mental vigor, he is power among
his brother aldermen and is liked
