WIFE BEATER FINED.

Drunken Frenzy.

He Nearly Blinds His Helpmeet in
Drunken Frenzy.
An old man named Jacob Faska,
living in the Seventh ward, came
home drunk last night and amused
himself with beating his wife, al
most as old as himself, with his
fists until she was very badly
bruised and beaten. Her left
eye seemed to be his espe.
cial prey as he almost beat
this member out of her head,
and she may yet lose the sight.
The policeEwere called and Officer
Bergin made the arrest, charging
him with beating and striking and
with being drunk and disorderly.
The recorder dismissed the latter
case this morning and then fined
him 800 for the beating. He left
court in charge Of an officer to get
the money and soon returned, pay
ing tie fine in cash.
The old couple then left the
court together, but whether there
will be pacification Of the trouble
or more hostilities, can not be said
1t is understood the old man was
heard to remark that he would re.
peat the d ose again, when he had a
chance.

TAYLOR RETURNS.
The Ksrrville Jail Regarded as In
secure for the Prisoner,

The Kerrville Jail Regarded as In
secure for the Prisoner.
Sheriff Vann, of Kerrville, yes
terday afternoon brought John
Taylor, the accused murderer OF
the late Chas. j. Langholz, from
the Kerr county Jail to the Bexar
county jail, via the Arkansas Pass
railway, for safe keeping, while he,
Sheriff Vann, attended the annual
meeting OF sheriffs.
Taylor and his guard stopped
the train at the Commeace street
crossing, where, not finding Sheriff
Campbell or any officers waiting
to receive them, as had been
expected, they took an express
wagon and drove to the county
Jail, where Taylor was soon secure.
ly placed in cell.
Sheriff Campbell and his depu.
ties had expected the train to stop
at q crossing further south than
Commerce street, and there they
had awaited their coming. When
informed that the party had got off
at Commerce street, they followed
to the jail.
Since leaving San Antonio
for Kerrville jail, Taylor has
shaved his face clean, but
this, If possible, makes him
harder looking than ever.
From Kerrville parties, the rea.
son Of Taylor's removal to San An.
tonic becomes apparent. They
state that during the past week he
has been in jail there, this strong
hold was regularly besieged with q
mob every night, demanding his
release in order to lynch him. This
Is vouched for by more than one
Mr.. Leo. Tartetan of our city,
has been retained to defendTaylor,
1t is said. He was on the train
from Kerrville yesterday.

OPAL ROBBERY.
A COMMERCE STREET STORE BURG
LARIZED.
The Thieves Have an Easy Job Of
It and Get an Assort-
ment of Swag.

Mr.. 8. Rabe, doing business in q
notion goods store at No. 1l0t West
Commerce street, near the bridge,
discovered today that some time
early yesterday morning thieves
had broken open his store and
robbed him of articles of his stock,
valued in the aggregate something
over $500.
Among the missing articles are
$3.50 worth Of newly imported Mex
lean fire opals, unset, two low
grade gold watches, one plated
gold watch, quantity Of Mexican
drawn work, consisting of linen
handkerchief, counterpanes and
d'Oyles, tray full OF finger rings,
about three dozen, valued at $50, a
lot Of rare coins, among which
were two American and two Next
can gold dollars, from 6 to 8 silver
Macmillan dollars, 6 or 7 counter
felt Mexican dollars, a lot Of newly
minted Mexican 5 cent pieces, a
number Of opal set pins, some sill
yer filagree work, quantity of
unset emerald and ruby stones, and
a number OF bracelets and other
articles Of jewelry.
The thieves were evidently thor
oughly we'll acquainted with the
various places where the most val
liable goods were kept, as they
took plenty of time and packed
their booty carefully away in
empty boxes taken from the store.
Only one small opal was left be-
hind, where it had dropped on the
floor. They were careful not to
drop anything or make any noise.
A box full Of opals, valued at $500,
which was sitting on q shelf, was
not touched. The office desk and
even the safe, the latter always left
open, were thoroughly ransacked,
and the burglars were very careful
in closing the safe door after them
80 tightly that it cannot be opened
today. With all the care ex-
ercised by the robber or
robbors, a box full of silver ware
in flagree, that had been selected
by them, was found by Miss Rabe,
the lady clerk today, where it had
been forgotten in the haste of de-
parture. Mr.. Rabe does not keep
his store lighted at night, but pays
a Waterman.
The burglars easily affected an
entrance by passing from Casino
street into little alley way back
of the Singer sewing machine
Office. Here they took a handy
step ladder and scaled a 10 feet
wall into the rear of the Rabe store.
1t was an easy task then to open
back window and enter the store.
In leaving they passed through
a long shed and out through door,
fronting on the alley which runs
through the entire block in the
rear.
The detectives are now at work
on the case and they think they
will soon arrest the right parties.
Four or five men are suspected.
For few days prior to the rob-
berry suspicious looking strangers
had been in the store looking
around at everything closely and
asking prices, but buying nothing.

exceeding beauty and irnpressiveness.
the attempts made on similar occasions.
To carry out the intention to make
the occasion purely military the Amer
lean flag is predominant in the decoraA
tive display. Wherever the eye wanders
the stars and stripes are seen. Each Of
the four great salon mirrors Is half
hidden by a large flag, and every win
dow is curtained by hangings compos-
ed Of the national standard 200 feet
long. These form the background for
an effective display of growing plants
and cut flowers. Great spreading
palms branched out from every window
and alcove and are surrounded by pot
ted oleanders and other areenerya
White and gold pots holding smaller
palms and innumerable varieties OF
evergreen are banked on the mantels
and beneath them CUT flowers are
banked The effectiveness of the ar
rangement will be greatly enhanced
by the glow of electric lights rendered
soft through hemispherical glass
globes. The flag will be wound about
the casket.
All the cabinet will be at the services
except Secretary Carlisle, who will join
the funeral train en- route to Chicago,
where it has been Determined that tho
interment shall take place. Secretary
Smith, the only other absentee Of the
cabinet, returned this morning
The honorary pallbearers will be Sec
retary Lamont, Attorney General Oh
ney, Secretary Smith, Postmaster Gem
eral Wilson, Secretary Morton, Secre-
tary Herbert, Acting Secretary Uhl-
and Acting Secretary Hamlin
All these will accompany the remains
to Chicago with the possible exception
of Mr.. Hamlin, whose place will be
taken by Mr.. Carlisle.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am
bassador as dean of the corps, this ev-
ening convened a meeting Of the mem-
bers of the diplomatic corps at the em-
ibassy, and they after adopting suitable
resolutions of sympathy on the occasion
of the grevious loss which the govern
ment has sustained, determined to at
tend the funeral services in a body
Similar action was also taken by the
justices OF the supreme court The of
icials and clerical force of the state
department will assemble at the depart
ment at $3.50 tomorrow and proceed to
the White house in a body. Four of
their number, Messrs. Renick, the chief
clerk, Chiffon, Haywood and II. T.
