EMANCIPATION DAY.
Bad Weather Prohibits Much Enjoy
ment That Would Have Been
Experienced.


Experienced.
The triple celebration of Eman-
cipation Day Of the colo-ed race in
San Antonio, today was something
of fizzle, principally due to the
mud from yesterdays rains, the
threatening, cloudy weather of this
morning and the fact that the pop
ulation was split in three parts and
thus the great crowds could not
mass and make great show.
The celebration proposed to be
held in Corners grove, in Beam
vile, to be held by the colored Sun
day schools, churches and the "peo-
pie" generally, was postponed until
July 4, and 6 at a meeting held
last night, on account, solely, OF
the weather.
The celebration arranged by a
small contingent for Limburg-
er's garden, was small affair the
grand street parade set down for
this morning taking place at p.
m. late, owing to the lack Of interest
shown and the non-arrival Of an
excursion the committee had ex-
pected from Austin to swell their
small numbers. The committee
stationed a colored band on Alamo
plaza near the Postoffice to play
music and drum up crowd, but
it was hard work.
Their parade consisted OF a band,
two militia companies and six
hack loads of people.
The principal celebration is being
held in San Pedro Springs park,
where large crowd was in attend
ance and where music, dancing and
feasting was in progress all day,
interspersed with speech-making
and athletic sports. This celebra-
ton will continue tonight and to-
morrow.
The attendance of visiting
colored people from out
side towns is small, very
few strangers being seen on
the streets. The town is we'll sup
piled with watermelons and can te-
loupes today, extra heavy ship
ments being received and many
extra wagon loads having been
brought in from the country. All
the fruit stands have a much
larger display Of melons today
than ordinarily, and were well
pstronized, as were the ice cream
stands.

The Deg Catch.

There have been 2, 455 dog licens-
es issued by the city collector Up to
this morning.
The dog pound officer says there
are not many dogs now in the
pound, and the average daily catch
does not amount to % each day.
The cause OF this small number
caught is that people tie up their
dogs in their yards. The dog catch
ers report seeing three and four

deemed himself a saint rather than a
brigand. What did l not owe to the
glorious ruffian? Fortune and free

cret passage into the Romani vault
had been cunningly cCntriyed by him
self or his followers for their OWE pri-
vate purposes. Seldom has any man

only by the music of kisses. All! my

bags for my own use, one full of gold
pieces, the other of jewels. The chest
had been strongly made, and was not
much injured by being forced open. I
closed it's lid as tightly as possible,
and dragged 1t to a remote and dark
corner of the vault, where l placed
three heavy stones upon 1t. l then
took the two leathern pouches I had
selected and stuffed one in each of the
pockets of my trousers. The action
reminded mt of the scantiness Of at
tire in which l stood arrayed. Could
I be seen in the public roads in such
a plight? l examined my purse, which,
as l before stated had been left to
me, together with my keys and card
case, by the terrified persons who had
huddled me into my coffin with such
scant ceremony. 1t contained two
twenty-franc pieces and some loose
silver. Enough to buy a decent cos
tune of some sort. But where could I
make the purchase, and how? Must
/ wait till evening and stink out of
this charnel house like the ghost Of a
wretched criminal? No! come what
would, l made up my mind not to lin
ger. there a moment longer In the
vault. The swarms Of beggars that
infest Naples exhibit themselves in
every coLdition Of rags, dirt and mis-
cry; at the very worst l could only be
taken for one of them. And whatever
difficulties / might encounter, no mat
ter!-they would Dol be over

I saw that it was utterly impossible
to discern the smallest hint of any en-
trance to the subterranean passage, so
well and cunningly had ii been con-
triyed. Now nothing more remained
for me to do but to make the best of
my way to the city, there to declare
my identity, obtain food and clothes,
and then to hasten with all possible
speed to my own residence.

rified to think that she should have
made such an enemy as even this aged
and poverty-stricken wretch; but l
said nothing. l had no wish to betray

and grew impatient at my silence.

with a sort of childish eagerness, did
I not take a good vengeance? God
himself could not have done better"'

fate" l said CURLY, "but l cannot say
that / admire you for being her MUIR

ing both hands above his head with q
frantic gesticulation. His voice rose
to a kind Of muffied shrek.

that is good. No, no. She murdered
me! l tell you / died when / saw her
asleep in her lovers arms; she killed
mt at one blow. A devil rose up in

a strong devil! That Is why / do not
fear the plague; the devil in me fright
m away death. Some day it will
leave me" here his smothered yell
sank gradually to a feeble, weary
tone; ives, 1t will leave me and / shall
find a dark place where / al sleep; l
do not sleep much now" He eyed me
half wistfully.
You see," he explained almost gen.
tly, my memory is very good, and
when one thinks Of many things one
cannot sleep. 1t is many years ago,
but every night l see her; she comes
to me wringing her little white hands,
her blue eyes stare, l hear her short
means OF terror. Every night, every
nignt!" He paused and passed his
hand In a hewildering way across his
forehead. Then, like a man suddenly
waking from sleep, he stared as IL
he saw me now for the first time, and
broke into a low %chuckling laugh.

TO WORK ON ROADS
Rebel Prisoners Sent to Hilo on the

Shortly after one o'clock this
afternoon a squad OF police under
Senior Captain Parker marched
down to the Kinau wharf. There
was an unusually large crowd on the

the rebel prisoners for Hilo, Hawaii,

ers dressed in striped suits marched
TO the landing in charge OF the pri-

arrived when native women began
waiting, and kept it up until long
after the steamer had gone from the
wharf. The prisoners we're marched
to the upper deck and handed over
to the custody OF seven armed
guards, who accompanied them to
sea.
The streets were lined with peo-
pie. The crowd on the wharf was
roughly estimated to be about one
Thousand.
A few minutes before the prison
ers arrived policer officer Espinda in
