The new Methodist church is already
enclosed and the general outline Of
the building can readily be traced.
The main gables, of which there are
four, are wide and rather massive
looking, and the tower, which is now
being built, conforms very agreeably
with the general effect. The structure
is being put up on a somewhat grand
scale and considering this, the work
Is progressing with remarkable
activity. Mr.. Symes has every detail
nicely in hand, and the building
responds beautifully to his well
calculated plans.

The River Falls friends of Mrs.
Geo. H. Bates have been deeply
grieved at the news of her death,
which occurred Tuesday morning
Sept, If, at her home in Hartwell, GA
1t fell very suddenly, probably from
heart trouble, as no symptoms of i'll
ness were manifest the evening be-
fore. The funeral was held Wednes-
dayat the home, Rev. T. A. Thornton,
assisted by Revs G.. A. JamiSon and
b. w. Collier, officiating; and the re-
mains were buried in the Hartwell
cemetery
Mrs. Bates is remembered by our
people as a kind and undetermined
woman. Her tastes were for the
home and home friends, and her at
tention was all for her family. In
department, she was always graceful
and dignified, gentle of speech and
moved by motherly generosity. A
very intimate sympathy will go out to
the husband and children to whom
she has been so sustaining a help.

surrendered to the police and was ar

charge Of embezzling $4,000 from Chas.

HON. ]. K. POLLARD.
The Recently Appointed Consul Gener-
al to Monterey, Mexico.

The Recently Appointed Consul Gener-
al to Monterey, Mexico.
Hon. ]. K. Pollard, of Columbus,
Ohio, spent some time in Texas prior
TO the last national election, and paid
several visits to San Antonio making
many acquaintsnces.
The consulship at Monterey is
choice office, and we congratulate Col.
Pollard on his good luck and and as
SIRE him of a pleasant reception here
and at Monterey.
Capt. Pollard is at present filling the
position of financial officer at the dear
and dumb institution at Columbus,
Ohio. He was a soldier IN the Union
army throughout the whole rebellion.
His health became undermined and
of late years he has been in poor health
and has sought the appointment at
Monterey in order TO try a mllder ell
mate. Capt. Pollard has been prom
inently identified with politics in the
state of Ohio for nearly twenty years,
and has held several important places.
After the war he was elected sherif
of Adams county, Ohio, county
strongly Democratic, thus demonstrat-
ing his popularity with the people. The
senatorial district he resided in was
also strongly Democratic, but in 1879
Cant. Pollard carried it as "a Republican
and was elected in 1881, since which
time the district has been Republican.
Govt ballard has served In MANY WAYS
his fellow citizens, and bears an IN
blemished character. Beside his pub
lie connections he is member of the
military order of the Legion of Honor
of the United States. Capt. Pollard's
estimable family will accompany him
to Monterey.

Price $500 q Year

ceived here confirming the report that
negotiations were being carried on by
the Greater Republic of Central Amer
lea and Japan for the Nicaragua canal
concession. 1t appears, however,
from an interview with Mr.. Heshi,
former japanese minister to the United
States, printed in the Japan Times, a
semi-ofticial paper, that the overtures
were made in Washington by Rodri-
guez, minister from the Greater Re
public. To the credit Of Japan, 1t
may be said that Mr.. Hoshi, after cor
responding with his government, reject
ed these overtures as they were plain
ly in violation of the treaty rights Of
this country with Nicaragua.
The attitude of the so-called Great
er Republic is significant of the atti-
tude of that republic toward the
United States. The diet has been
resentful ever since President Cleve-
land, in receiving Rodriguez, accepted
him as minister from the individual
states of Nicaragua, Salvador and
Honduras, entirely ignoring the Great
er Republic"

TRANSFERRED THE INSURANCE.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 13.-The receiv-
ers of the Bay State Beneficiary asso-
citation of Westfield have broken the
deadlock which the recent injunction
caused and have agreed to a transfer
of the members. There are several
bids and the business was closely COM
peted for. Receiver Hyde and Bliss
chose the Mutual Reserve Fund OF
New York as its bid was the best and
this was subject to the approval of the
commissioner of insurance here, which
has now been obtained. There is;
about '$2O,0OO,OO0 of business covering
the lives of ten thousand members.
The transfer is subject to the condi-
tons of the Massachusetts, Insurance
laws. George d. Eldredge, vice pres
ident of the Mutual Reserve Fund, is
in town and confirms the plan in an.
interview. -

BASEBALL MEETING.
The Magnates Are in Session at Fort
Worth Today.

Worth Today.
Today the Texas Baseball association
is in session at Fort Worth for the fall
meeting, winding up its affairs of the
past season and arranging for next
year. Mr.. Louis Heuermann, presi-
dent of the association, left for Fort
Worth last night to preside at the
meeting. He anticipates a lively
session and expected every city in the
circuit to be represented.
Mr.. Heuermann win represent San
Antonio by proxy, and it is expected
that Mike O'Connor and Charles We
Der, who are in Galveston, will make
a bid for the San Antonio franchise,
through George Dermody who will re-
present Galveston. Ted Sullivan will
also be likely be at the meeting. Frank
Weikart, George Reed and ]. ]. Nc
Closkey will all be there.
There will be a number of claims for
the Hermshein cup, but it is hardly
likely that 1t will be awarded. An
important matter will be the question
of the reservation of players of the
past season. All of the San Antonio
players have been reserved for next
season, and as none of the players
have asked for their release, the local
association will not relinquish it's claim
on them.
OF the players that are at present in
the city are Red" Herbert, Charles
Bailey and George Gilpatricil. Her.
bert says he will not play in Texas
next year and expects to so to the
Eastern league. George Gilpatrick
has an offer from st. Louis. He says
he will not play in Texas, and expects
to go to st. Louis. Bailey is undecid-
ed, and if the Texas league is in the
field he viii be found with some good
team.

INHUMAN PRACTICE RESUMED.

Washington, d. C., Nov. B.-The old
practice of branding animals owned
by the United States with hot iron
win be resumed under regulation just
issued by Major General Miles.
1t provides that all public animals
shall upon the day received be branded
with the letters AU. S." on the left fore
shoulder, the letters to be two inches
in height. Cavalry and artillery horses
assigned to organizations will also be
branded on the hoof of the fore foot
and one and one-half inches below the
cOronet.
The practice of branding horses and
mules in the army was abandoned a
few years ago out Of humane consider
alton for the animals, but it has been
found necessary to have some distin-
gushing mark on these animals and
branding with a hot iron is the onAY
practicable method of making it.
