Experience Of Paul VOgt, Of This City
At Del Rio,

Experience VI raul Vogt, VI Ihls Ulty,
At Del Rio.
Brakeman Pete Snyder, Of the
Southern Pacific, came In from Del
Rio yesterday. Pete was in
Bochat's saloon at Del Rio Thurs
day night when two masked men
with winchesters held up the bar
tender and robbed him Of SIS. The
bartender was Paul Vogt, former
ly blacksmith of this city. At
first Vogt thought his friends were
trying 10 scare him, but when the
command was reinforced by sever
al severe epithets, the barrel
OF the gun appeared to Vogt
as big as we'll, aud his
hands went MP like q shot. 1t
Is believed that the robbers
were boys not over l9 or 20 years
OF age, who evidently conceived
the idea by reading yellow back
novels. There were six men In the
saloon at the time and they got
out of the place as quick as their
legs could carry them. A man
named Mansfield was about TO
throw q beer keg at the robbers,
when one Of them struck him over
the head with q gun and Mansfield
fell to the floor unconscious. They
then left the place.

The West End Fire,

lH6 W6SL bnu I ire
The West End Waterworks com
pany make the statement to the
LIGHT that the report that there
was no water in the pipes during
the fire is a mistake, and that
there was q good pressure in the
pipes at the Wilson residence, ard
at the Methodist college at the
timej that the small! sa-iaeh cornec
ton is only for household purposes,
and that the contract Of their COM
psny for water does not call for
fire protection. The officers Of the
Town company and Water com.
pany say they are perfectly willing
and agree to assist In getting Col.
Breckenridge to extend his mains
out to this suburb.
Gen. Russ, who built the Home
Villa, says there was no fire wall
to the property, as stated by the
morning paper. He also says that
the reason of the low pressure was
on account OF a break down of ma
chinery at the reservoir two nights
before and same had been cut down
in order to make repairs.
Under the new contract between
the city and the San Antonio
Waterworks company, the Third
ward is now entitled to about 5000
feet of main and should it require
10, ZOO feet to reach the thickly set,
tied portions of West End, the
LIGHT has been informed, Mr.
Breckenridge is willing to do so.

London Smoke.

A new and unexpected agency Is hav.
ing a most beneficial effect in contribut.
Ing to the abatement Of the smoke null
sance in London. The relative clearness
Of the London atmosphere within the
last twelve months has been plainly APP
parent, and the smoke cloud which OBJ
scures the London atmosphere appears
to be progressively tightening. Mr.. Ear
nest Hart, chairman of the Smoke Abate-
ment Exhibition in London, frequently
pointed out that the greatest contribu-
tors to the smoke cloud Of London were
the small CRATES of the enormous num-
Der Of houses Of the poor, and a great
deal Of ingenuity has been exhausted
with relatively little success in endeav-
oring to abate the nuisance!
The use Of gas fires was urgently rec
commended, but had hitherto been diff
cult, owing to its cost and the want of
suitable apparatus. The rapid and very
extensive growth Of the use of gas for
the working classes, due to the intro
ductiOn Of the penny in the slot" sys-
TEN, Is working a great revolution in
the London atmosphere. During the
last four years the South London Gas
Company alone has fixed $4,000 slot
meters and nearly $4,000 small gas
cooking stoves in the houses Of the
workingman: This movement is still
making great progress, and we hope
means may be found to extend it to the
houses Of the more comfortable classes.
The enormous improvement in the Lon
don atmosphere and the clearing away
Of smoke pail which hangs. over Lon
don may then be anticipated. 'Great
progress has already been made, and
still may be hoped for, In the clearing

Kashmir Sheep.

A traveller through Kashmir recently
found in practice there a novel method
of putting fodder up for winter use. The
country lies In a valley among the Him
alayas The chief industry Of the peo-
pie consists In raising fine wool and IN
making this into fabrics which have
carried the name of the country all over
the world. "a curious custom in some
places" he says, "is that Of hanging
quantities of hay up among the
branches Of trees. Why 1t was done
was more than could guess, till my
guide informed me that in winter the
snow lies FIVE or SIX yards in depth and
that the supplies Of hay, which now
look only as If they were meant for
giraffes, are then easily reached by the
'fiockssof sheep which abound there"

large. Now, 1t is safe to say that the
bloomer will not be heard from for
some time. Women who make point
of keeping abreast of the fashions are
already wearing pantalets. In month
they will have become established as
a fad. In length the pantalet extends
to the boot top. Its fullness is con
siderably less than that of the bloom
err Thus 1t will be only with very
short gowns, chiefly worn by young
girls and children, that these novel
garments will be noticeable. The first
young misses to appear with gayly
trimmed pantalet aounces will doubt
less attract some attention, but they
are leading the fashions.

Unusual Surgical Operation.

A quite novel surgical operation has
successfully been performed at Parma,
Italy, by Professor Camille Verdelli, In
the presence Of all the physicians Of
the Parmese hospital and with very sat
isfactory results. The new operation
was the washing of the heart. 1t was
the first operation Of the kind and Pro
lessor Verdelll employed the washing
apparatus recently invented by Pro
fessor Riva. After making an opera
tive incision Professor Verdelli first
cleaned the pericardium of the patient,
a 12-year-old boy, of the pus which had
accumulated thereon, and then pro-
ceeded to wash the heart with strong
solution of soda biborate (boraxl. The
operation was very successful mas
much as no further complication has
arisen. The boy is now doing very
we'll and Is on his way to complete re-
covery. Professor Vardelli has re-
ceived. numerous congratulations for
his success with the new operation
from surgeons all over Europe
