to complete some building. About two
years ago | noticed [ could not get
around as I should, and commenced
to have a severe pain in my back
tried the usual remedies without get

suffered intensely. 1 kept up as Ions
as l could, as I had several contracts
fer buildings that had to be completed.
AT night l could not sleep My
physician said it was my kidneys, aud
every day I went out doors they would
keep me awake nearly all the follow

became worse, and worried a great deal
about my work The doctor said I
must quit work and go to bed, or he
would not be responsible for my life.

Finally when I got into such a con-

The government was much exercised

Mr.. GARY THE DEFENDANT.
AN INJUNCTION ASKED BY THE SU-
PERINTENDENT OF MAILS AT
LOUISVILLE.
GOVERNMENT DEMURRER ARGUED.
Complaint Charges ~ Change for P0-
IiticaI Reasons without Charges
OF 81 Hearing.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE in
junction proceedings of John G. Woods,
of Louisville, KY, against Postmaster
General Gary and Assistant Postmas-
ter General Heath, were taken up be-
fore Judge Cox, Of the supreme court
of the district of Columbia, today, and
argued by both sides, the court then
taking the case under Amusement. A
decision is expected next week, on the
government demurrer filed today.
The suit has attracted wide public
attention, as it involves the right of
the government to make removals or
reductions in the public service with
out specific charges. Woods is super
intendent of mails at Louisville, at
81. 700 per year, and the department re-
Gently assigned him to duty as rail
wav mail service clerk at $1,000 per
wear. He secured a temporary injunc-
ton. and the present issue is whether
this shall be made permanent. His bill
of complaint charges that the change
was made for political reasons, was
without cause or opportunity for hear
ing and was contrary to the presl-
dents order directing hearings in case
of removals.
Mr. Woods was not present at the
hearing today, but was represented by
Messrs. Lowe and Stevenson, OF WASH
ington. with Samuel K. Bland, OF
7 o,,isvilIe as counsel The govern
ment was represented by United States
Attorney Davis and Assistant Attorney
General BOYD. The postmaster general
and Mr.. Heath were not present. AT
the outset Mr.. Davis fled in behalf OF
the government general demurrer,
setting up thatthe compliments state
ment of the case did not entitle him TO
anv relief. The district attorney sup
ported the demurrer in an EXTENDED
argument. Heuexpressed his personal
approval of the civil service law, out
maintained that the law as it stood
gave Woods no standing in court. Inc
naked question involved, the district
attorney held. swas as to the right of
tbe Judiciary to. interfere with the two
executive branches of the government.
He cited many cases to show no prop
ertv in an office, and particular stress
was laid on the opinion of Justice Gray
in l24 U. S. reports, that equity courts
have no jurisdiction over appointments
TO or removals from office. The dis
trict attorney in closing said the presl-
dent of the United States was in reality
the defendant in this case, as 1t was

branch of the government
In behalf of Woods, Mr.. Lowe stated
that if President Mckinley was in real
ity the defendant in the case, Woods
would receive the fullest consideration

Test Public Sentiment.
LONDON. Sept. 1.-THE important
announcement made by the Times this
morning in an article from special
correspondent. to the effect that the
directors of the Bank of England have
consented to hold one-ffth of the bank
reserve in silver, has caused much eX-
element on the continent. The gov
ernor of the Bank of England Albert
George Sandman, when questioned on
the subject today by a representative
of the Associated Press, refused to
confirm or deny the report From
other Bank of England officials, how
ever. it was learned that the article
was probably a "ballon d'essai' sent
up at the instance of the government,
in order to ascertain the temper of the
people on the subject before giving a
final answer to the United States mon
etary commission, headed by Senator
Edward O. Wolcott, of Colorado.
The Pail Mall Gazette, this after
noon, commenting upon the report re-
ferred to, says: The startling rumor
is such a bolt from the blue, that we
would fam believe there must be some
mistake. Should the suggested action
of the bank have substantial founda-
ton, in fact. the whole commercial
world will Immediately rise up in arms
and protest against so dangerous an
innovation. Our contemporary darkly
hints at pressure from high quarters,
and with equal mystery suggests
weighty affairs of state as a possible
explanation for this sudden and unex-
pected departure from the straight and
narrow path. But the business COM
munity will not be satisfied with any
vague and unauthorized statements of
this kind, and demands an official pro-
nouncement."

HEAVY SNOWFALL.

Denver, Colo, March 22.-Snow fell
here continuously all day Sunday. The
fall was not heavy, however, and
much that has fallen has melted so
that it now lies at depth of about
three inches. Dispatches from all
parts of the state indicate that the
storm has been general in Colorado.
The heaviest fall has been in Eastern
Colorado and Western Kansas and
Nebraska. At Akron, Colo, fourteen
inches is reported and a heavy fall
is reported ON the line of the Kansas
Pacific between Cheyenne Wells and
Ellis, Kas. Trains on all lines have
been somewhat delayed, but no Sc
rious blockade has occurred. The
mountain roads in Southern Colorado
are having difficulty in keeping their
tracks clear.

Have Seen So Far.
Rooterdom put on her spring togs
yesterday and took trip to the Jock
ey Club grounds to form the acquain-
lance of the men that will strive to
yank the pennant for San Antonio in
the baseball campaign of '97. Mike
O'Connor was there with all his men.
Their opponents were the Government
Hill Reds, local amateur team, but
the Reds were not swift enough to
give the professionals even a sweat.
The cranks wanted to see the Bron-
chos on the field. They saw them,
and they are well pleased. While
some of the boys put up star game
all around, others had little opportuni-
ty to show their ability on the field
and their work at the bat was weak,
but it is too early to pass judgment
ON the players. Their movements on
the field received favorable comment.
They all seem to be lively. At any
rate, the new Bronchos stack up bet
ter than last years aggregation did at
this time The score at the end of
the game was II to 1.
Another game will be played next
Sunday. Efforts are being made to
have the Austin league team come
over. President >WeltOn, who has
just returned from Philadelphia, is Of
the opinion that a series of five games
between San Antonio and Austin to be
played between nowand April II would
be a good way to ascertain the COM
parative strength of these two teams,
and should one prove to outclass the
other there would be an opportunity
to prop up the weaker team.
The Joske Brothers defeated the
Wolff & Marx team at San Pedro
Springs yesterday morning by score
of &c to 3. Next Sunday morning the
Joske Brothers will try conclusions
with the City Drummers.

Produce an American Authors Opera
AS Original.

San Francisco, March 22.-The Lon
don papers containing criticisms of
the new comic opera, His Majesty"
have been received here and Peter
Robertson, Of this city, declares that
the authors have made use Of the pro-
duct of his genius. Mr.. Robertson has
for many years been dramatic critic
of the San Francisco Chronicle, and
has achieved a reputation as a bril-
liant writer and dramatist. Four
years ago, in conjunction with H. ].
Stewart, an English musician, Mr..
Robertson wrote comic opera which
was called His Majesty" Mr.. Rob
ertson wrote the libretto which was
full of bright lines and amusing stu
atoms. The opera was first produced
here by amateurs and later by profess
SIGNALS at the Tivoli. The libretto
was published and sold both here and
in London and was Copyrighted. Mr..
Robertson declares that the London
authors of the new production not on
ly borrowed the title of his work, but
also made use of several scenes and
original situations. Although the
synopsis of the opera printed by the
London papers are very meagre Mr..
Robertson says he has positive proof
that his work has been copied.

shown at the seige of Guayamaro.
On the second day of the seige, short
ly after the first fort had been evac-
uated by the Spaniards, owing to the
skill of Osgood in handling his piece,
the Cubans took up positions in the
deserted fort.
Between this fort and the next
one, a horse was tied to a stake in
the middle of a perfectly clear plain
and in a spot exposed to the fire of
the whole garrison.
Lieut. Devine, a young drug clerk
from st. Louis, and one of Osgood's
command, thought that he needed that
particular horse, and without saying
a word to his friends, jumped outside
the garrison and made for the naimal
His appearance in the open surpris-
ed the Spanish troops for a minute

more than one hundred Spanish rifle
men. Undaunted he continued on his

STOPPING over to unfasten the rope by
which the animal was tied, he re-
ceived a very serious wound and fell
About 300 yards away were more
than 300 Cuban infantry safely in
trenched but not one of them made a
movement to rescue the American
from his perilous position.
His friends in the fort, with Osgood,
had watched him and when he fell
his companion, Lieut.. Penny, jumped
quickly outside the breastworks and
under the heaviest fire that occurred
during the siege, made his way safely
across to where Devine lay helpless,
and unaided, he lifeted him across
his shoulders and started for the
trenches where the Cuban infantry
were stationed.
The Spaniards forgot everything in
their desire to bring him down, but he
reached the trench without a scratch.
Standing on top of the trench with his
wounded companion resting across his
arm. he called on the Cubans to take
Devine from his arms and lower him
to a place of safety, but not man had
the courage to expose himself to the
enemy's fire.
After calling on them several times
to help him without success Penny
drew his revolver and pointed it at
the nearest Cuban and said:
"Now, you coward, if you don't take
this man Immediately I'll fill you full
of lead"
This action of Penny had the desir-
ed effect and the young hero had the
satisfaction of seeing himself and
companion in safety after one of the
most daring exploits of the whole war

WAR ON BEER.

Chicago Labor Federation Boycotts
Non-Union Made Beer.
Chicago, March 22.-War against
Chicago beer has been declared by the
Chicago Federation of Labor at its
regular weekly meeting. A gigantic
boycott in which all the organized Ia
Dor will be urged to unite, was launch
ed against the breweries that are
members of the Chicago Brewers as
ISOLATION and will take effect April 1.
Union men who wish to drink beer
will be expected to buy the product
Of Milwaukee or st. Louis breweries
and to refuse to patronize any saloon
supplied by any of the seventy men,
bers of the brewers combine.
Grievances Of COOpers' union No. l
against the local brewers precipitated
the action of the federation.
John Mcpherson, the DELICATE from
the COopers, who was present at the
meeting, explained to the federation
that the coopers had vainly tried for
a year to induce the brewers to use
barrels and kegs made by union
workmen and now asked that decisive
measures be taken at once to force
them to comply or place the product
under the ban of united labor.
The sentiment of the labor unions
was for battle.
