Cause and Effect.

Success can only be assured by going back
to the cause in the treatment Of disease.
Many Doctors can see the effects only, such
as are visible to the eye, ard treat the SYM
ptoms, but while the cause exists a cure is
impossible and herein lies the secret of so
many failures. The ekilled Specialist devotes
all his study to few diseases and become as
familiar with them as you do with the faces
of your family. When he sees a Skin Dis
ease, he knows just where the cause lies, and
Just what to do.
IL you have exposed yourself TO disease and
there appears a suspicious sore, to his ex-
perienced eye, il becomes plain whether it is
poison in the blood or a local trouble.
SO it is with Lost Manhood, Gonorrboea.
Syphilis, Early Vices, aud other Diseases OF
this class.
DIR. CLEMENS has devoted years TO these

FACTS AND FIGURES,
PoOr's Interesting Statistics on Street Rail-

PoOr's Interesting Statistics on Street Rail-
ways.
The total length OF the street
railway lines in the United States
equals l3,l76.3S miles, an increase
of 3,5l4.32 miles over tn ose inopera-
ton in 1891. or this total, of13, 49,
3S miles, 409.40 miles are operated
with steam dummies, 10,23S.l3 by
electric power, 1854 by cable
and 1950.31 by animal traction.
The publishers state that sit is
impossible, owing to the meager
information furnished by many
companies, to supplement this
statement of mileage with COM
plete or satisfac tory statistics of
the equipment, capitalization or
operations OF the street railroads
OF the country. Such returns as
have been received have, however,
been totaliZed with the results OF
showing an equipment OF 3O,S57
passenger cars, 1868 motor cars,
2607 dummies and 1888 horses.
The rapid substitutions OF electric
traction for animal power may be
judged by the fact that since 1891
the number of horses employed in
the street railway service has de-
clined nearly $4,000, or about II
per cent.
OF the l3,l76.3S miles of street
railways in operation, companies
operating 378.SS miles failed to
supply complete statistics OF
capitalization, either as to stock,
bonds, or both. The capitalization
of the remaining 1871 so miles is
therefore shown to be $500, 745,S23
stock and 1897 ,694,477 bonds, an
average of $40,59l per mile OF
stock and $2S, 1888 per mile OF bonds,
equal in the aggregate to $69,O24
per mile OF stock and bonds,
against $56,61l per mile for steam
railroads.
or the total railroad mileage in
the United States, aggregating on
the LIST of October, 1895, 1S0,Sl5
miles, no less than 3S,6l3 miles are
operated under receivership.

AN EXPLANATION

On behalf of Mr.. Nagel, the young man
who was held up on Prospect Hill
Wednesday evening, at 1880, by couple
of his friends, we make the following
statement: Mr.. Nagel was returning
home from visit to a young lady friend,
when he was suddenly confronted by a
masked man with Six-Shooter, and told
to give up his watch and money, and TO
be quick about 1t, too. Mr.. Nagel at first
attempted to pass the robber, but as the
gun was pressed against bis head, stopped
and grappled with him. The robber called
for assistance to his pal" who was hid
in the brush, and the two finally over
powered Mr.. Nagel and relieved him Of
his watch, and told him to get move on
himself and not to attempt to stop them.
They then took to the brush and es-
capped The whole thing was done as a
joke, and the watch was returned to Mr..
Nsgel few days later by Mr.. Paxson. 1t
is only fair to say that Mr.. Nagel proved
himself to be no coward, and acted like a
brave man under the circumstances.

Mansfeld's Triumph.

The highest achievement in
the players art is fully evidenced
in the hearty reception accorded
Richard Mansfield and his Garrick
Theatre stock company, in their
two performances at the Grand
opera house yesterday. His host
of friends made on his former visit
to this city, was greatly argument.
ed last night when the curtain fell
on his last performance of the
day.
For matinee, which bad been
specially arranged for this city,
Mr.. Mansfield gave his splendid
portrayal Of "Beau Brummel.r
Always delightful in book form, in.
the hands Of Mansfield as a spoken
story, with every careful adjunct
Of proper lights, costumes aud
scenery, 1t possessed charm
which caught the favor OF the en-
tire large audience present.
"The story OF Rodion, the Stu.
dent" tragedy from the Russian
school, was presented at night to a
packed house. Standing room
only was secured by those who had
failed to secure advance seats.
Every box was filed; DR.. Rich
ardson with a party in box ID;
Capt. Warwick, Lieut.. Carson,
Capt. Forbes and Mrs. Col. Wade,
box G; Mr.. J. M. Abbott, OF Sc
gum, boxes E, f, G and H., and
box B, by Mr.. Allen Swearingen.
AS in "Beau Brummel," Mr..
Mansfield was punctilious in the
proper scenery and costumes and
gave a most powerful reading of
the title role, which was exceed
ingly real in many OF the most
exacting and powerful portions OF
the play. Mr.. Mansfield is justly
set at the pinnacle Of his profess
sion as all who were present last
night can testify. His versatility
is also most wonderful and a flaw
could not be detected.
His support, az Is the rule in all
stock companies, was fully capable,
the members being 80 evenly
balanced as to fit their parts per-
fectly and gave the whole a fine
finish with a brilliant polish.

Castroville's Fire.
To the Daily LIGHT:

10 Inc DAILY LIGHT:
CAsTRovILLE, Tex, Jan. 49,
This morning between 5 and 6
O'Clock, people going to market
noticed a blaze in the direction of
the parochial residence of st. Louis
Catholic church, occupied by the
newly appointed priest, Rev. John
Kirsch. The citizens upon arriv-
ing found the fire had good hold
upon the builing and every pos
sible means were taken to save the
house and contents, but too late,
as some of the contents were en-
tirely consumed, but as yet, how
much could not be learned. The
building, a beautiful two-story,
hard rock, is now a total wre ok
and fortunately the roof was cover
ed with tin otherwise the convent
aud church could not have been
saved as both these were covered
with shingles. AS it was, sparks
of fire were carried two blocks
away by the wind. Many lives
were risked trying to save things.
When the tower in the convent
began to burn every hope was lost.
1t was learned that the house.
keeper OF Rev. Kirsch was clean
ing the yards and burning trash
yesterday and it is thought spark
flew under the back porch where
lot of pine kindling was piled up,
and the wind that blew up last
night started the fire.

WHY SHE DID IT.
The Cause Of the Sad Death Of Emma
Nickel,

The Cause of the Sad Death of Emma
Nickel.
Coroner Griff Jones this morn
lug took the evidence of Mrs. Otto
Stephan, in the inquest over the
body of Emma Nickel, who COM
mitted suicide last Monday by
taking strychnine.
Mrs. Stephan said: 81 live at
No. GIG Matamoras street. The
deceased was my husbands niece,
and lived with us whenever she
was out of work. She was last en-
ployed by Mrs. Koenigheim, on
South Flores street, and came to our
house on December %. She had
bottle of strychnine in her trunk
and our child got hold of it and
brought it into the kitchen. / told
my husband about it and he be-
came very angry. / gave the
bottle to my mother, as l was
afraid to have it around the house.
/ found some more about two
weeks later and told her to throw
it into the fire, which she did.
"Last Monday night she ate sup
per with us. She went to her room
about 9 o'clock and washed her.
self, combed her hair and put on
clean clothes. She went to bed about
an hour later and soon began
groaning. / went to her room and
said: Emma, are you dreaming
What is the matter with you q" She
did not respond and | called my
husband, who was in bed. He
came and she grew worse. He
went over to the fire house and
telephoned for doctor. She was
now screaming aud writhing in
agony. When the doctor arrived
she was dead. We found an eighth
ounce bottle of strycbnine, nearly
empty.
deceased was engaged to a
young man named Louis Rummel.
They were at party together on
New Years night. She told me that
she had kept company with this
young man about two years. Love
did not run smoothly with them.
They had frequently quarreled,
but always made up again. Finally
she was very much infatuated with
young Rummel, and often said she
did not care for life without him.
"About a week later she met
young lady named Lena, at Mrs.
Mair's residence, and l suppose
they discussed the young man,
and Emma was informed by
Lena that she too, was en-
gagged to Louis. When she re-
turned she told me Of it and said
Lena had shown her letter from
Louis.
"Soon after his engagement with
Emma, Louis went to Mexico and
she did not hear from him. She
was very sad and think this led
to her death. She had good home
in Boerne, and seemed to get along
nicely in San Antonio"

ATTEMPTED TRAGEDY.
ABE W0LFs0N ORAzED BY DOMES-
TIC TROUBLE
And Business Losses, Shoots at His Wife
and Then Turns the Revolver on
Himself Unsuccessfully.

For some few weeks past in this
city, series Of suits in court, with
allegations, motions, demurrers
and rebuttals have given an ink
ling of a serious domestic imbrog-
lilo in the household of Mr.. Abe
Wolfson, who, until the recent fire
in the business block on the south
side Of Military plaza, conducted,
with his brother Nathan, a bust
ness of buying and selling Of hides,
wool, etc.
About seven months ago Abe
Wolfson and Miss Pearl Oyster
young, a beautiful girl of II years,
were married in Convention hall,
Rabbi Elkins officiating.
In the wife's petition for divorce,
filed a few weeks ago, she alleged
that soon after marriage, he began
a system OF cruel treatment toward
her, which finally became unbear-
able, and the suit followed, with a
prayer for alimony.
Since the fire, In which Mr.. Wolf
son is said to have lost heavily, he
has been brooding over his troubles
and the climax was reached yes
terday evening when he was seen
walking up and down on the side
walk in front Of his wife's home,
where she was living with her
mother.
This alarmed Mrs. Wolfson so
much that as night fell she slipped
away and went to the house OF her
friend, Mrs. M. Milgrom, in the
rear of No. LOG South Flores street,
where Mr.. Milgrom keeps a cloth
ing store, in front.
She was writing letter in the
room, with Mrs. Milgrom and
several children sitting around
her, when a bullet crashed through
a back window and passing very
closely to Mrs. Wolfson's head,
buried itself in an armour on the
other side of the room. Mrs. Wolf.
son tainted and Mrs. Milgrom ran
out and called for the police officers.
In a few seconds two more shots
in the rear OF Albert's saloon, In
the same block, were heard and
Officers Bourn and Bader, who
had responded to the call, found
Mr.. Wolfson unconscious ly-
ing in the yard back Of the
saloon. He had two bullet wounds
In his head, both scalp wounds, as
an examination by DIR. Clavin
afterward developed. A pistol was
by his side.
He was then taken to the city
hail and soon recovered conscious
ness. He admitted the shooting
at his wife and Of himself and said
he had removed his shoes and
climbed the partition fence in the
rear of the clothing store and after
making sure that he had killed his
wife, seeing her fall, he had
climbed back again in the yard OF
this block and tried to kill himself.
A charge of attempt to kill"
was made against Wolfson on the
police book, on which he will be
tried as soon as he RECEIVERS from
his wounds.
