A PROGRESSIVE ROAD.
THE SOUTHERN PAOIFICS INTER
EST IN SAN ANTONIO.
Estimate of the Number of Local
Employees of the Road and Their
Salaries = Thousands OF Dollars
Distributed in San Antonio Every
Month by the Railroads.

Twenty years ago San Antonio
was without a railroad.
A few years later the iron horse
steamed in and San Antonio was
placed in closer communion with
the world. The first road to build
into San Antonio was the Calves
ton, Harrisburg and San Antonio
line. 1t was in VI when the first
train pulled into the new Southern
Pacific depot, and it marked a
memorable event in San Antonio's
history, for since then the Southern
Pacific has aided materially in
transforming San Antonio into a
city. How San Antonio has i'm
proved the past eighteen years !
And the Southern Pacific has kept
apace with the city's progress, and
continues to improve as the city
advances.
The Southern Pacific company
owns some valuable property in
San Antonio in which is invested
thousands OF dollars. The land
used as the companY's local yards
Is a tract of about twelve good
sized squares, extending from Bur-
nett street to the rOund-house and
shops. Besides this, there is what
is known as the east yard and COM
pany's reservation, which is also
large area of land. or the build
ings the shops and round house
are handsome structures OF their
kind, being Of brick. At one time
this company also had car sheds,
but these have been destroyed by
fire and have never been rebuilt.
The company employs about 400
men in San Antonio. or this num-
Der about two hundred are EN-.
ployed in the shops and the bal
ance in the transportation and of.
flee departments. They receive on
an average about S75 month and
this means $4,000 a month that
this road alone distributes in San
Antonio. Therefore everybody has
a right to feel jubilant when the
Southern Pacific pay car comes in.
The shops are a great institution
They consist OF different depart
ments, boiler shops, machine
shops, blacksmith, tin, paint, and
carpenter shops. Here is where
the engines are repaired. When an
engine is out of order it is sent
to the shops, and it is not turned
out until it is in as good condition
as the day it was built. Every en-
gineer has to inspect his engine af-
ter every trip and II it is not found
be sent in. Often time engines are
entirely rebuilt in the local shops,
and it is the engineers proudest
moment to pull out his pet bright
as a new dollar on trip.

WIFE BEATER FINED.

Evidence Was gaiust Him.

He Made PsthstIc Plea, But the
Evidence Was Against Him.
Rueben Moses, a colored man,
who can rattle off English
like the buzz Of saw mill, was
fined $25 by Recorder Shields this
morning, for beating his wife. The
testimony showed that the Negro
had on several occasions locked his
wife, who is somewhat weakmind-
ed, in room and then administer
ed to her thorough and pains
taking thrashing. In the course Of
a few minutes Rueben told bio
graphy Of his life, recited all OF his
virtues, gave his testimony and
made speech OF defense that
would fill several newspaper col
ums. There were too many neigh
bors, however, to contradict his
story and he was fined accordingly.

Katie Putnam,

Katie Putnam reappeared in San
Antonio last evening at the Grand
Opera house in "The Old Lime
Kiln" a comedy drama written by
G. y. Darcy, the author OF "In Old
kentucky" The audience, owing
probably to the Yom Kippur sea
son keeping away large portion
OF the regular patrons Of the Grand
Opera house, was not too large to
be seated comfortably.
The play captured the audience,
and was much enjoyed, particu-
larry the excellent comedy work OF
Joe Cawthorn and Susie Forester,
and Miss Putnam in her delinea.

A Pistol Play.

A negro with pistol aud big
load of whisky badly frightened
some OF the residents at West End

weapon over his head and threat
ening to shoot the first man who
interfered with him. Officer Will
liams answered the telephone call,
but the man was gone by the time

Dismissed the Case.

The case in the police court
against Andrea Andrada for using
abusive language toward woman
named Orosco was called this
morning. The case was tried be-
fore jury few days ago, but no
verdict was reached, and it came
up for trial before jury again to-
day. The recorder decided that
there was nothing in 1t and struck
the case of his docket.

IT'S DIFFERENT NOW.
San Antonio Used to Deport Its
Migrants to Mexico.

San Antonio Used to Deport It's
Migrants to Mexico.
II the ghosts of the departed
ones worry over the short comings
of their descendants, then what a
crashing of teeth and pulling OF
hair, figuratively speaking, there
must be just about election time
among the disembodied spirits OF
the staunch Texans who composed
the city council of San Antonio in
the year 1888!
Just before election times, nova
days the street corners OF eel otro
lado," more Familiarity called
"across the creek" are filled with
strange Mexicans who have fiocked
into the city on transportation
furnished by politicians, or falling
in that, have counted ties all the
way from the Rio Grande for what
their suffrage might be worth in
dollars and cents to them after
their arrival.
Nowadays too, these strange,
imported, penniless suffragists
are gathered into vast armies, ard
with torch in hand, are paraded
through the streets, under cover OF
night, to warwhoop and yell for
the clique into whose service they
have entered.
II those old aldermen who pre-
sided over the destinies Of the Ala
mo City in 1888 could be snatched
from the spirit world, re-embodied
and given in charge of the reins of
government just about election
time, they would stampede those
old blanket.ciad suffragists and
spread CONSERVATION in the camp
OF the combination employing
them. Those old timers were not
in love with that element. In the
good old days of 1888 the city adj
ministration tried, by every de-
vice, to get rid Of the Mexican va
grant, and as most effective
means, the city council passed the
following resolution, as shown in
the record in the city archives:
alderman Zsm brano proposed
the following resolution which
was carried:
That all persons brought into the
country by any Mexican, and who
have no visible means of living, IL
found either within the city or it's
precincts shall be obliged to depart
as speedily as possible for the Re-
public of Mexico"
The city council at that time
was composed entirely Of Texans
OF Spanish or Mexican descent, and
the resolution passed without
vote and the law has
never been repealed and II the old
timers were in command of the
town now, the imported suffragists
would probably receive a dose of
1888" and find themselves
"oblige1 to depart as speedily as
possible for the Republic OF Next
co."

HaWiian
Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest latest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan-
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want 1t done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment Of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think 1t over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs In chandeliers
