KICK AGAINST THE POUND ORDI
NANCE.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas April, Is.
To the DAILY LIGHT.
AS citizens and men having no
claim upon quarters in the lunatic
asylum, we would like to know the
object in the proposed extension of
the pound limits on Government
hill. We are curious in this respect
for more than one reason, but that
one is not that the proposed limits
take In only the streets Immediate
ly surrounding the Post thus
plainly indicating that the pro-
posed extension is for the benefit
OF the military garrison which
(by the way is entirely surrounded
by q seven foot fence aud contains
six hundred msa ready and willing
n no doubt, to sacrifice their lives
defending the two public gates
from the invasion OF the cows,
horses and mules of the neighbor-
ing citizens. Having been Informed
that the pound limits were about
70 be extended as stated above
two hundred citizens petitioned
.ehe august council to hold their
hands In this matter and give a
little more of their time to the
sewers and so called streets, COM
mittee even waited upon our AL.
derman (Fahey) and requested
him to give his attention to this
pound extension business, which
j he promised to do, but was I'm.
avoidably absent yesterday when
the council met; the committee
also had talk with our alderman
at large; this representative at
large promised. to do what he
could toward stopping the extsn-
sion Of the pound limits, but
didn't have the sand to stand by
that promise when the time ar.
rived, presumably because he was
straining himself to curry favor
with his superior at the Post who
are in favor Of having the garrison
included in the pound limits.
But it will be asked, where does
our kick come in? Well right
here, we as committee represent
a large number OF citizens, own
ers Of cows which we use for dairy
purposes some Of these citizens
are widows OF soldiers dependent
for the support Of themselves and
children upon the sale of milk.
II the pound limits are pushed
further out covering only the POST
whenever an animal Oversteps
that dead line it is seized upon by
a soldier detailed for the purpose
and a bill of $500 a day ensues
which God knows is more than
many OF US can pay.
We as citizens and tax payers
object to the extension OF the
pound limits, there being no
necessity existing for same.

IN THE PATROL WAGON.
The Jury in the Graham Case Visits
the Scene of the Trouble.

A jury was secured in the Police Court
yesterday in the case against John
Graham, charged with having mali
ciously mutilated the paintwork on a
house on NJ street, between Fourth and
Fifth. Graham was formerly in the en-
ploy of the Sullivan-K Kelly Company,
but was discharged, and, it is alleged,
work of the other employees of the
company.
After the City Attorney had stated the
case, he submitted that it was proper
that the jury should visit the house on
M street and also one at Sixteenth and
streets, which had also been mutt
lated the prosecution believed, by the
same parties.
While Frank Sprague, attorney for
Graham, made no objection to the jury
visiting the M-street house, he argued
that to visit any other house would not
be pertinent, as Graham was charged
with having mutilated only the paint
work on the M-street house
Afterward, however, it was agreed
the jury should make the trip, and the
police patrol wagon was pressed into
service. The house at Sixteenth and P
streets was visited by the jury as well as
that on NJ street, and when the twelve
good men and true finally got back to
the courtroom it was lunch time. and
an ad1ournment was taken until Mon
day morning

PREVENTED A PANIC.
Mr.. LOnergan Demonstrates the Value
of Presence of Mind.

During the beautiful play Drifting
Apart" at the Clunie Opera-house last
night, the fireplace alcove caught fire
from the jets used to stimulate a CRATE
glow. Mr.. Lonergan had the stage in a
soliloquy. His back was to the fire, but
noticing some movement on the part
OF some of the spectators, he turned
and saw the flames mounting through
the alcove into the scene and to the top
of the mantelpiece. With perfect COM
posure he walked to the spot, still read
ing his lines, and endeavored to stamp
out the fire with his feet. This proved
Intellectual, and the smoke and flames
ascended to his face. The audience.
however, seeing how cool he was, began
to applaud him. He then dashed a YES
sci of water upon the flames with little
success.
Just as it seemed that the flat in which
the alcove is set would take fire, in
which case the whole stage would in an
instant have been in flames, he seized a
large rug, and throwing it across the
burning scenery, smothered the fire, so
that with some vigorous stamping of
the rug into the alcove the incipient
Noiiio5 oticii was put uHUeI
Meanwhile the stage hands from behind
were fighting the fire on that side Lon
ergan, with perfect coolness, drew a
large high-backed upholstered chair in
front of the burned space and the work
ers behind and resumed his lines with
perfect cOmpOSure.
Miss Dallas hastened her entrance a
Bit to give him support, and the scene
went on with double and triple applause
from the spectators in recognition of the
admirable presence of mind of the COM
posed actor Had he been at all excited,
or shown the least alarm, the audi
erce would have rushed from the thea
ter. But in that case there could have
been but little harm, as no place of
amusement in the land is so we'll sup
piled with spacious exits They are on
al. sides and a crowded auditorium
can be emptied in the quickest possible
time. But Lonergan's splendid presence
oil mind last night was the talk of the
evening, and he won golden compli-
ments on all sides-and he deserved
them.
