Otto Zimmerman, a grocer OF
No. 450 East Commerce street, was
out riding in his delivery wagon
with his little 3-year.old daughter
Yesterday afternoon, and as he was
driving along West Commerce
street, near Navarro, a team Of
mules hitched to a farm wagon
dashed at full speed into Mr.. Zim-
mermann's vehicle. The occupants
were thrown out. They were carried
into Clavin's drug store. Mr.. Zim-
hermann sustained an ugly seal p
wound, which was sewed up by
DIR. Bennett, and was bruised about
the arms and legs. The little girl
was bruised on the side Of the head,
but WAS otherwise uninjured.
The team Of mules also ran into
Deputy Constable Van Riper's
buggy and bent the rear axle and
broke a spoke. Another buggy
was also damaged.
The man in charge of the mules
was in the wagon at the time Of
the accident, but he could not con-
troll the team, as the breast-yoke
was loose. The team was stopped
by officer Kieffer, who arrested
the man on a charge Of careless
driving. His name is A. Halba-
der.

TIE MARKET HOUSE.
Central Park Would Be a Good
Location.


To the DAILY LIGHT:
What is the matter with that
proposed market house?
Has the matter dropped? Don't
the people take interest enough in
such an enterprise to push it
through?
L do not see any reason why this
city should not have a central
market house; one that would do
credit to the city, such as 1t was
proposed to erect on Paschal
square recently, but think Cen.
trail park would be a much more
suitable place to erect this struct-
ure than Paschal square. First,
because our public squares and
parks should BIZ kept as they are.
They should not have buildings
erected in the centre of them, ruin
ing the park forever; they should
on the contrary all be laid out as
Alamo and Main plszas are, and
planted with shrubbery so as to be
a constant source Of delight to the
citizens of this city.
Another reason why a market
house should not be erected on
one of these squares is that as the
city builds up these places will
eventually become the central bus
siness locations, and should there
sre not be taken hp by a market
puse, but as Genital park is off to
self, in the bend of the river, it
Auld not be of any Inconvenience

The Market Proposition.

Everyone is anxious to have the
market house problem solved.
Mr.. Orinsky offers a solution by
his proposition to sell or lease
Central garden. Unless something
better is suggested his proposition
deserves fair consideration.

CITY GOSSIP.

Translated for the LIGHT from the Stats
Zeitungl
Mayor Elmendorf is perfectly
right in declaring the purchase Of
Central garden as improbable and
unlawful. The city charter does
not allow. the council through
single resolution to make contract
of Indebtedness for fifty years in
advance.
Mayor Elmendorf is opposed to
the purchase Of Central garden for
market house purposes. This
could have been expected, since
Mr.. Elmendorf has always been OPP
posed to projects, the carrying out
Of which would be an injury to the
city.
Central Park is, owing to its I'M
favorable location, more difficult
to reach than any other out of the
way place in the city. The idea to
erect a market house there is
simply nonsense.
The city owns several places
which, by their favorable location,
are we'll fitted for market house
purposes. Would it not be absurd
to purchase an out of the way
place (piece of property for big
money for the erection OF market
house, which, owing to unfavor-
able location, would never be fire.
quented (patronized) by the people
The city council will never allow
itself to be influenced to sink the
city still deeper in debt, which is
even now very large, in buying a
costly piece Of ground to build
market house on the same.
The city can build a market
house with its own means, and on
its own property, which need not
cost more than $4,000, and which,
il favorably located, would bring
net revenue of from $4,000 to
$4,000. A market house built on
credit, in Central garden would
cost 100000, and in consequence
of unfavorable location would not
bring any revenue at all.
The people of San Antonio are
by no means willing to create
fifty year indebtedness for loca-
tion for a market house, when it
has a number of places property
of her OWN of which each one is
more suitable for a market house
than the isolated Central park.
1t may be a profitable piece OF
business for the owners Of the
park to sell the same for an enor-
nous price. They look to their
own interest only, and don't care a
d whether the city comes out
at the wrong end. 1t is the duty
of the aldermen to protect the city
from any speculation schemes by
opposing sthose aldermen who are
favoring such projects that are a
direct loss to the city.
The city can build two market
houses on her own property, fav-
orably located and easily accessi-
BILE, for $4,000. Why should the
city buy an isolated piece Of prop
erty for a big price for which our
children and grand children would
have to pay heavy annual taxes?
The council has no authority to
buy worthless piece of ground,
for an enormous sum, which is not
fit for market house nor any other
purpose. The people are even now
over burdened with heavy taxes
and will enter a most energetic
protest if the silly attempt should
be made to create an additional in
debtedness.
Those of the aldermen who are
favoring the Central park project.

traitures of a model minister
Jesus Christ. 1t is doubtful
whether McCheyne if he had lived
to an old age would have been more
useful than he is in the pages of
that quickening biography. Every
young minister ought to read it at
least once in every year. Fifteen
minutes spent over it always brings
"a glimpse of eternity into my
study. Biographical works have
always been a favorite reading
with me, although the fau'tIess
specimens OF that style of litera-
ture are very few. Boswell's II ,ife
of DIR. Johnson" Dean Stanley's
Life of DIR. Arnold" Trevelyan's
Life of Lord Macaulay," the Life
of DIR. Channing," by his nephew.
and the Life OF Dr. Norman Nc
Leod," belong to this scanty re-
pertorium OF almost perfect biog
raphies. Edward PAyson Of Port
land had prodigious influence on
my early ministry in spite of his
nervous melancholy. DR.. Chal-
mers' lite gives a grand idea ct
how immense human life can be;
he walks into my study like a giant.
The biographies of heroic charac-
tiers, like DR.. Livingstone, William
Wllberforce, and the missionaries
Brainard, Martyr, and Judsoh have
always been an inspiration to un-
selfish toll for the Master.
Richard Cecil's little volume of
"Remains," now probably out of
print, gave me a hundred precious
hints; for he had an immense
of sanctihed common sense,
and of deep spirituality. Heis the
man who said always have a be-
cause to meet the why" and also
said that ga warm, laundering man
often does more good in the world
than a frigid wise man." Along
side of Cecil, have kept Charles

the reading f them always sets
me on fire. In these days OF
ltm Der backed laxities, Finney is a
grand tonic for young ministers. 1t
was the perusal of those pungent
lectures that inspired young
George Williams to start the first
Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton in London fifty years ago.
With my passion for pastoral
work I welcomed DR.. Spencer's re-
markable "Pastors' Sketches" vol
umes that exhibit a sort Of Shaks-
perean insight into the human
heart. | devoured those two vol
umes, and read them aloud to my
people in our weekly prayer meet
lngs in Market Street Church.
Dealing with awakened inquirers
IS a vitality important part OF every
faithful minister work; and DIR.
Spencer shows us just how to han
die almost every variety of difficult
cases. Among the books that have
helped me in one of the most i'm
portant spheres of ministerial labor

unique volumes of DR.. Ichabod S.

have been requested to men
ton some of the books that have
been of most value to me. I do
not include in this list those vol
umes which belong to the critical
apparatus of all Biblical students
and sermon makers, such as expo.
sitions, commentaries, etc. In my
childhood, spent IN a farm house,
the range of juvenile literature was
very limited, comprising only
Robinson Crusoe," Sanford and
Merton" and few others. This
drove me to books for people of
adult years. The first book, next
TO Gods own book, that enchained
my early thoughts, and has never
yet been dethroned, was Bunyan S
immortal "PIlgrin's Progress. 1t

imagination also, and furnishes no

THROUGH THE JAIL.
A Peep at Oar County's Prison
sers.

BY the courtesy of Jailor Smith
and his brother, we were shown
through the county Jail yesterday
evening
The lower tier of cells was pref
~ well filed, though part of those
belonging in the lower floor and all
on the upper floor, with the excep-
zion of one white man, were out on
the county roads and the Silver
Springs Railroad.
The prisoners were all cheerful
and seemed cOntented.
They are we'll fed, and the Jail is
one of the coolest places in town.
They all seemed very fond of Mr..
Smith.
These prisoners offenses are
many and varied, from murder in
the first degree TO stealing chick
ems, although IN most cases, when
asked what they had done, they
would say, "I's wrongully 'cused."
Mr.. Smith said it was very sell
dom that one would own to having
done anytnIng.
We saw the man who some time
ago, with two others, one of whom
was confined in separate cell, cut
through the iron bars and then
through eighteen inches of BRICK
wall with only a piece of saw and
a small h.c.
This nan is the only one who
has been caught so far. We tried
TO learn wnat he would need to eff
feet another escape, but hs seemed
bashful and said he did not know.
There are only two women who
have cells entirely separate from
the men. One of these is in for
stealing, the other for killing her
baby.
The ventilation and drainage are
exceptionally good. They have
good bath-tub and every thing nee
essary to health.
Our jailor is to be congratulated
upon the good management Of his
prisoners.

NOT so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.

The idea of. being able to invent
something strikes most people as
being very difficult; this delusion
the Company wishes to dispel. 1t
is the simple things and small in
ventions that make the greatest
amount of money, and the complex
ones are seldom profitable. Al
most everybody, at some time or
another, conceives an idea, which,
if patented, would probably be
worth to him fortune. Unfortu-
nately such ideas are usually dis
missed without thought. The SIM
pie inventions like the car window
which could be easily slid up and
down without breaking the pas
senger's back, the sauce pan, the
collar button, tho nut lock, the
bottle stopper, the snow shovel,
are things that almost everyone
sees some way of improving upon,
and it is these kind of inventions
that bring the greatest returns to
the author.
The prize we offer will be paid
at the end of each month, whether
the application has been acted
upon by the Patent Office or not.
Every competitor must apply for
a patent on his invention through
US, and whether lie secures the
prize or not, the invr ntur will have
