SENATOR HARRISON.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-Ex-President
Harrison is said to be a candidate for
United States senator, and to be ready
to make the fight for the place this
fall The statement that the ex-
president would like to return to the
senate was made by a Republican
who is very close to the national party
leaders. He said:
General Harrison is very DESTROYS
of returning to public life for several
reasons, which l am not at present
able to give to you. His old place as
United States senator from Indiana
would be congenial to him. There
would be no loss of prestige in going
to the senate after having occupied
the office of president. There are pre-
cedents for it. John Quincy Adams,
after he retired as president, went to
the house of representatives, and
continued a member Of it until he
died. Andrew Johnson went to the
senate after he had retired from the
presidency. James Monroe was post
master Of New York after he was
president"

DEATH OF HANS MAHNoKE.
He Used Morphine to Relieve Him of
Headache.

He Used Morphine to Relieve Him Of
Headache.
Hans Mahncke, aged "a years, died
this morning at 1925 o'clock at the
Mahncke hotel. Deceased was a
nephew of Ludwig Mahncke, proprie-
tor of the hotel, and had charge of the
business during Mr.. Mahncke's alb
sence, who is at present in Europe.
Young Mahncke's death was caused
by morphine. 1t is said he used the
drug habitually for headache, and it
is believed that he took an overdose.
He attended the concert at Muth's
garden last night and appeared in
good spirits. On his return to the hO-
tel he complained of headache and
took a glass of mineral water. He
told the clerk to call him at 6 o'clock
this morning and went to his room.
This morning, when called, he failed
to respond, and when the door was
opened he was found on his bed I'M
conscious, and apparently suffering
from poisoning. Drs. Herff, ST., and
Braunagel were summoned at once
and tried every means to save the
young mans life. They worked on
him constantly until he breathed his
last.
Deceased came to San Antonio
about three years ago from Liebig,
Germany, to live with his uncle. He
leaves a mother in Germany, his
father being dead.
Deceased was member of the
Odd Fellows, the Beethoven Maenner-
Choir and the Casino association. He
took active part in the theatrical en-
tertainments of the Beethoven Maen-
nerchor. He was, it is believed, re-
Gently engaged to be married to a
young lady of this city popular in
German society.
The funeral will take place tomor-
row under the auspices of the Odd
Fellows.

A BAD NIGER.

Has Been Wanted for a Long Time
and Is Finally Caught
New Orleans, Aug. 14.-The police
have effected the capture of a motor
ious sneak thief and desperate char
acter who has been badly wanted by
the authorities for long time, but he
was only taken into custody after be-
ing pursued for several blocks. and
when overtaken flourished a big knife
and offered ferocious resistance,
threatening to kill the police.
The negro's name is John Williams.
His latest alias is Raymond, but he
has a string of names that fill a
whole page in the record book at the
police station.
Williams is old in his business; he
has long been known to have attain
ed the greatest proficiency in the art
of sneak-thieving. Although he has
frequently been arrested before and
has often been captured plying the
vocation which has a peculiar fasci-
nation for hun, it is well assured that
on numerous occasions his exploits
have been fraught with success. 1t
lis acknowledged by nearly all the po-
licemen who have followed him and
his work that he is an adept in his
particular line and could give even
the most pronounced and accomplish
ed white sneakers" pointers in
shrewdness and sagacity.

EARLY MORNING FIGHT.
A Hack-driver and a Ranger Have a
Misunderstanding.
BEFORE

Misunderstanding.
The police were called to a sporting
house known as Three Fives," at the
corner of San Saba and San Luis
streets, this morning between and
4 o'clock. On arrival they found
Charles Noll, hack-driver, and w.
II. Owens in a room fighting. The
door had been kicked down and Noll
was bloody.
Owens is said to be a ranger; had
engaged Noll to drive him, and after
riding several hours they had a mis-
understanding about the hack fare.
Noll claimed he had driven three
hours and ten minutes and wanted
So, while Owens claimed he had only
been riding two hours, and called
Noll liar. Noll told him not to call
him a liar, and he repeated it in a
stronger language. Words were fol-
lowed by blows and Noll received a
stab in his left side, which narrowly
missed the heart.
Owens was fined $40 by Recorder
Shields this morning.

BATTAGLIA TO LUCCHESE.

Editor Daily Light.
In your valued issue of the 10Th inst
NJ. Lucchese makes rather hard
statement against our former secre-
tary of the Columbus Society.
Mr.. l.. is in error, or badly inform
ed. At meeting held in June our
former secretary resigned, and a spe-
cial committee of the following men,
bers were appointed to investigate
his accounts:
A. Macaluso president of the So
ciety), Angelo Battaglia, Z. G. Maffi,
NJ. Lucchese, G.. a. SOlaro, +. Cesarins
and r. DeBona. The above commit
tee reported at a special called meet
ing of July 10, that they had exam
ined and found the 'secretary's report
o X, with the reception of So, which
was Immediately by one of the CON-
mittee corrected. At this same meet
ing Mr.. l.. was elected secretary. Our
bylaws do not show that at a special
called meeting any business be trans
acted excepting for the purpose that
the meeting was called for. At the
general meeting held August o a pro-
test was made to the electing of the
secretary and collector at a special
called meeting, and this protest was
placed in the order of the day. Mo
ton was made and carried that the
president take charge of all books,
ETC., of the society until this matter
is settled at our regular meeting. Mr..
l.. at the present date refuses to show
the report of this special committee
for reasons of his own.

DECORATED WHEELS.
They Are Very Pretty, But Buyers Are
Few and Far Between.

There is a mildly developed fad for
jeweled, silver-plated, and otherwise
decorated bicycles. Several Chicago
silversmiths have sold a few such
wheels, and one was turned out for adj
vertising' purposes which was said to
be worth $4,000. The costliest yet sold
brought $3.50. Another sold for $3.50,
the purchaser being the maker Of the
wheel in its undecorated state. Most OF
those thus far sold were women's
wheels. A mans wheel deliberately dec
Grated with applied silver and held at
S325 is yet unsold.
This last has solid ivory handles,
with decorated silver buttons at the
ends. The front fork is niclkel-plated
and then decorated with a scroll of ap.
piled silver. The handle has silver deco
rations, and so has the little leather tool
kit. The lamp is silver plated and
little silver watch Is attached to the BIZ
cycle by means of an ingenious contriv-
ance of springs. The ends of the pedal
spindles are decorated in chased silver.
Some wheels have been gilded. Others
have been richly etched and engraved.
while still others have been decorated
at conspicuous points with inset jew
els. One bicycle lamp was decorated
with amethysts and other gems,
It Is hardly expected that men will
take up with these expensive fads, and
thus far few decorated wheels have
been sold. The thing was at first under
taken as an experiment. A few we'll
paid actresses have bought such wheels,
and one was sold to a titled EnglishmAn
for his wife.

side is rubber cushion tire of ordinary

gether by being covered tightly with
sole leather. The spokes attach to nip
Piles, which are fastened to the steel
hoop. By this construction the in
ventor expects flexibility, resiliency
and an absence of slipping. This tire
can be made in any size or shape.
How much of a success the new wheel
will prove is considerable of problem,
and one the solution of which will be
looked forward to anxiously by those
interested in the manufacture of
wheels. Mr.. Woods thinks an ordinary
bicycle frame with his wheels will not
make machine Of over % pounds in
weight, so the Question is one of
strength and ease of riding, which will
require actual tests to decide. If the
new idea is not an unqualified success
it is certainly a long step in the direc-
ton of dispensing with the pneumatic
tire. ..

WOODS. LEATHER TIRE.
Chicago Inventor Claims to Have SOLVED
the Puncture Problem.

Chtcago inventor Claims to Have solver.
the Puncture Problem.
Five years from now the present type
of bicycles will not be recognized, if
one is to believe Inventor Frank J.
Woods. He has a new wheel which is a
radical departure from the ordinary
pneumatic-tired article, and which bids
fair to make startling innovation into
The present methods of constructing a
bicycle.
Mr.. Woods is a mining engineer who
has already made several inventions in
his own line, notably the woods placer
miner"
Some time ago, says the Chicago
Tribune, an idea for wheel occurred
to him. He made the drawings and
submitted them to the patent Office,
and recently had his claims allowed.
In the last week he has had two
models made embodying his idea, and
will shortly attach them to a bicycle
frame and put them into practical use.
The essential features of his wheel
are spring spokes and flexible rim,
the combination producing sufficient
spring to do away with the necessity Of
using pneumatic tires. The spokes are
made of pieces of fat tempered steel
and are curved in shape. This part of
the idea is not new, and belongs to a
patent which expired several years ago,
but its use has always been prevented
by the difficulty in finding a flexible
rim TO 60 with it. This Mr.: Woods has
devised.
The rim is made of fat steel band
with cork along the inside of it. Out
