trade, and, with increased consuml
by the millions, the way will be 6

ECHOES FROM WEST END.

On Friday night the pavilion
was all ablaze with electric and oil
lamps, and many OF the genteel
youths OF West End city and of
San Antonio town enjoyed them
selves variously with boat riding,
partaking Of oyster suppers, dane
ing and playing games, and all de-
clare that the time slipped by all
too fast for them.
Mr.. Dave Woodward, who en-
joyed occupying the Sommerville
mansion, has. very reluctantly re-
turned to the city, while Mr.. John
Sommerville has pleasant broad
grin on him since the return OF his
family.
The testimony of so careful a
gentleman as DIR. Menger, who, a
few days ago, for the first ime in
over a year, saw West End, is to the
fact that he is fairly astonished at
the growth OF our suburb; that
until he became an eye witness to
its progress he had believed that
South Heights was the most push
ing part OF the city, but he yields
the palm Of victory to West End
and he is right. There is record evil
dence to sustain him. In the last
few days the following building
permits were recorded in the city
hall-theI buildings all belonging
here:
No. 26l, Mr.. j. f. Rountree, on
Colorado avenue. No. 26S, Mrs.
Minnie Dowden Wilson, on Colora-
do avenue. No. 274, Mr.. b. F.

construction. Mr.. w. w. Wills IN,

erection of several Others,
Our pelicans only spent one Sun
day at West End, and returned to

not well posted as to our city linz

WANT THEIR WAGES.
Four Mariners Sue the Owner of
the "Crisis 4"

Four Mariners Sue the Owner of
the "Crisis 4"
A libel suit in admiralty has
been filed in the United States
Circuit court in this city. in which
John Gunderson, John Nils
son, Nicolas Pietre and William
Lee, late mariners on board the
ship "Crisis," now on the beach on
Padre Island are suing for wages.
The petition alleges that William
Candy is the owner of the vessel
and that on last June 5 she was de-
signed upon voyage from Scran-
ton, Miss, to Chiltepic, Mex, and
return to New Orleans. Candy
hired Gunderson, Nilsson, Pietro
and Lee, who are known as libel
lants in the petition, to serve as
mariners on board the vessel dur
ing the voyage at the rate of 500
and $50 per month, and according.
ly on or about July 4 libellants en-
tered into service of the vessel.
The vessel proceeded on her voy-
age and arrived at Chiltepec in
safety and there took on an extern
sive cargo of mahogany logs and
proceeded on her return to New
Orleans.
On the night of August 90 a Sc
we're storm struck the vessel while
she was in the Gulf of Mexico, and
drove her upon the beach off Padre
Island. William Candy, the mas
ter and owner, then discharged the
libellants, the petition alleges, and
has since employed other parties
to assist him in saving the cargo.
The vessel is now shipwrecked.
The petition further shows that
the captain, master and owner did
not pay the libellants the wages
due them, which are as follows /:
Nicolas Pietro, 1880; John Gun
derson, $49.l3; John Nilsson,
$50 81; William Lee, sos 70. The
p' aver Of the libellants is that the
vessel be seize d and her cargo dis
posed Of, in order to pay libellants
the wages due them.
