SAW THE BULL FIGHT.

A representative of the Light took
in the bull fights and fiestas at Nueya
Laredo last Sunday and witnessed the
brutal sport as performed by CAPTAIN
EdWardo Leal, the principal "matador''
called LlaVerito," a mic name, and his
associates.
This was real bull fight in which
some feats of daring were performed
by the bull fighters and likewise a
great deal of cruelty practiced upon
poor dumb animals. During the fights
three horses were gored to death by
the Infatuated and tortured bulls and
one of the horsemen or "picadores," as
they are called, nearly lost his life by
being thrown and falling under the
horse. This undoubtedly saved his life
as the bull thrice charged and trampl-
ed the defenseless and emaciated Mex
lean pony.
To this the morbid crowd cheered
themselves hoarse, as only the sight
OF blood seems to satisfy their esti-
nation of what a bull fight should be.
rive bulls in all were driven into
the ring, but only three showed fight,
anu anu after being tortured, were quickly
dispatched by the ''matador," who
Win one thrust of his sword killed the
oul.s oy striking their hearts.
quite a number of San Antonians
ment down on the l. & G. N. excursion
iast saturday and returned home Mon
uay evening. Most of them are of the
opinion that having once Witnessed
the pun fights, they never care to see
them again.

TWO FIRES.

The one-story frame residence of
Mrs. Minnie West, corner Augusta and
Convent streets, burned to the ground
this morning at 2:30 o'clock, the result
of an incendiary attempt, no doubt,
as the occupant was in Austin and no
one was in the house.
The property was owned by Mr..
George White, who valued it at ST.
500. He held $3.50 insurance on the
house.
The alarm was very tardily sent in
and the structure was nearly ready to
fall to the ground before the depart
ment apparatus arrived.
A one-story frame house on Navidad
street, Prospect hill, belonging to Mrs.
Flores, was destroyed by fire this af-
ternoon at 1 o'clock. The loss is
about 5000. The house is located near
the dog pen and was unoccupied. En-
CINE company No. responded to the
alarm, but there was no water in the
vicinity. 1t is believed that the house
was set afire.

9O8 Broadway, Aug "a
A family has just been reunited in this
city after several months of separation
and under the most unusual circum-
stances.
Last spring Mrs. I. T. Craig with a little
baby and one other young child was told
TO move out of the rooms she occupied on
Nj sion street, San Francisco. Her hus-
band had left Ler and as the rent was be-
hind no leniency was shown her.
Mrs, Craig and her family came 10 Oak
land and were cared for by charita bic
people.
Her hus band it is now stared, left home
because he could not endure privation
and could not obtain work. He believed
that if he went away some one would take
pity on his wife and children. He went
to Stockton and sought to obtain work,
but while doing so met with q n accident
and sustained several broken ribs.
His letter did not reach his vile as none
knew where Mrs. Craig had gone.
When Craig recovered he came 10 Oak
land whittier he learned his family had
gone, and commenced a search for them
from door TO door.
He obtained EN- ployment as cAuvasser
for milk firm and was called a a house
on Jackson street, near Sixth. Craig
handed q card to the landlady. She rec
Oguized the name and questioned him.
The conversation turned on his fam lily,
and the land ady led him up to a room,
and on opening the door Craig saw his
wife and two little ones.
1t did not take long to make explana-
lions and now the united family is COM

HIS WISH NOT GRANTED.
Rev. Father AXE rly's Funeral to Take
Place From New st. Johns
Church..

OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. A.-The first
service to be held in the new st. Johns
Episcopal Church will be the funeral of
the late Rev. DR.. Akerly, who died early
this morning. Dr.. Akerly. although he
retired from act We seIvic, some years ago,
was rector emeritus of st. John's, although
Rev. F. J. Mynard was rector.
In a few weeks the new church will be
ready for dedication, and Father Akerly
had frequently expressed a wish that he
be spared TO see the ceremony. AS his de-
sire was not granted it has been decided d
that the first ceremony in the new build
ing shall be his funeral.
The history of Father Aker.y is in
great measure that of Oakland. He was
the oldest Episcopal minister in Califor-
MIA and shares with Rev. Father King
the honor of pioneering church worship
in Oakland.
A few months ago, on the occasion of
his church being presented with paint
ing OF its venerable pastor, a history of
the life of Father Akerly was published.
There is nothln, to add to it except the
fact that the end, so often expected dur
ing the past few months, has come at last.
The funeral will be held on Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock, and st. Johns,
though not yet completed, will he made
beautiful with ffpwers for the occasion.
Rev. Floyd l.. Mynard will officiate, as
sisted by DR.. Bakewell OF Trinity and DR..
Brewer of San Mateo.
Inc deceased was charter member of
The California Commandery. Knights
Templar, and the rites of Masonry will
also be observed ut the funeral. The
Masonic Quartet will supply the music.
The pail bearers, so far as selected, are
Jesse Wall, James de Fremery, Charles de
Haven, j. West Martin and B. G. Jones'
The intermenI will be at Mountain
View Cemetery, where Mrs. Akerly was
buried many years ago.
