DIES IN DISTRESS.

Werklag Pauper
Timothy McCarthy died yesterday
from natural causes as the coroner's
Jury terms It. lie had been 111 and eom-
plalnlnr; of consumption for somo time
past. On last Wednesday he went to a
hoarding house near the Sunset depot
kept by Tf 1111am St. John and request-
ing charity In his emaciated and dilapi-
dated condition was given plenty to eat
and a placo to sleep. He was suffering
very much and on St. John asking him
to go to the hospital ho replied that the
scamps had timed him out of on already
at Columbus. On Trlday he grow worse
and his landlord hearing him groaning
went to his assistance. Nothing could
be done forblm and he died In about
half an hour after the appearance of St.
John.
Judge Adam held an Inquest which
simply showed thatlcCarthy was a very
sick man and had been so for some time.
Ho was known to have visited Me. &
Pratt's place on Soledad street whera
he left a bundle and txhtblted 35 cents
lie was very 111 and Mr. Pratt kindly
told him he would furnish htm with
comfortable quarters. Leaving the bun-
dle behind him he left.
It appears from the testimony particu
larly that of Dr. 11. L. Graves that the
deceased had been in the poor house
about a year back and suddenly left. He
was working at Intervals on the railroad
and In light occupations and died it
would appear In endeavoring to make a
livelihood as best he could. Uo Carthy
was burled this afternoon.

The good people from San Marcos
and the Twin Sisters complain much that
San Antonio Is not a desirable market
for their cotton and other farm products.
They head for Austin which la 10 miles
further than our city a because our
county roads are In an exccra'ble condi-
tion. Wo thus loso all the Important
trade. Besides this region Is neglected
on account of mllo stones and road indi-
cations. Other counties aro not so dere-
lict. For Instance from hero to Jloerne
and from Bocrno to Fredericksburg there
are mllo stones placed so that no way-
faring man even a fool can go astray
or be obliged to venturo miles ahead or
turn back the samo dlstanco to the near
est house to Inquire his destination or
the distance. It is certainly no lust
causo for Bexar county with all her
wealth and publlc-spirltedncss to be
proud that she stands alone among poorer
counties without proper road facilities
or minus mile posts and sign boards.
The Commissioners' court should "stick
a pin hero" and remedy the evil.

Kdltor San Antonio l.lulit.
As tho columns Of yourvnltiahlo paper
have been Hung wide open by you for
negroes to work o IV somo of of their long
pent tip '!gas" I do not wish to abuso
tho privilege. As to Mr. 11. elson tho
astute editor of tho Spectator I leave
htm to defend tho well chosen position
he has taken respecting certain public
matters believing him to be fully com
petent to do so as far as decency and
manlincsi goes. I notice very disparag-
ing criticisms on negroes respecting
their expressed desires made In tho
most modest and humble way. It seems
strange how easy tho actions and words
of a colored man aro misconstrued. As
the Light docs not know why negroes
should Insist on traveling In the samo
coach with white people perhaps it may
give some light on the subject for tuo to
state that health Is better than disease
freedom more dcslrTiblo than oppression
nnd cleanliness far better than tilth. If
you should purchase a pig of your neigh-
bor and he sent you a llopp-earcd puppy
you would thlnk.somc wrong had been
done and haro somo sympathy and call
for explanation. If tho negroes should
now begin to be able to discriminate In
matters of this kind It ii tho expeoted
results of large expended amounts of
money since his emancipation for his
moral religious Improvement as the
statistics shows. I think tho contrast
mado between railroads and barbershops
are very unhappy Illustrations of n well
known principle. In tbe llrst place they
are conducted quite dlUerently; tho one
by men of little or no means and the
other by men of vast means and large
estates. In the second place this barber
shop business Is an end of tho deep
seated prejudice to the negroes nnd
uius compelling tuose wnu conduct
them to cater to and do homage to this
un-American god. Thirdly If tho edu-
cated and wealthy can be made to enter
to tho prejudices of tho vile and unedu-
cated It Is another evidence of moral
decay. If you had asked why should
negroes uesire to or insisted on going
with whlto pcoplo a few years ago tho
negro had no need to answer for tho
most elite would have answered you
"It is my nigger." Wo are still yours.
uui in a uiucreui ecusc. 1 uo not icei
any wny discouraged as to our future
though scollcd at and criticised
above measure; every claim of tbe negro
Is purely American. The sentiment
emanates from the text books In uso.
Xo ono should feel alarmed If negroes
give evidence of susceptibility. I trust
wuui i nave nercin siaicu may nor uo
so construed as out of place generalities
or as mere caseous presumption.
May God help our bleeding South; and
may tho American people he unliood-
winked respecting nil questions touch-
ing tho strength of our institutions.

GOD IS LOVE.
Cbarltj the Createit of Virtues Beea
i It More
nearly Like as Man to Cod.
Sermon of theltov. Galushn Anderson
In Unity church- Chicago last Sundny
morning on the text: "And now there
abldcth faith hope and charity." 1 Cor.
xvl. C.
The speaker after commenting on the
many truths contained In tho Bible
truths that would forever pfescrve tho
book from oblivion whatever might bo
said In opposition to Its being Inspired
went on to arguo that the text must be
taken In conjunction with the other say
ings of St. Paul: "When I was a child I
thought as a child acted as a child but
now I am a man I'have put off childish
things." At the time the epistle to tho
Corinthians wero written Christianity
was In a transltlvo state. It was passing
from tho period of Christ and tbe Apos
tles tbe time of miracles Its Infancy
Into the full strength of manhood. N ow
that It was becoming a man It must put
off childish things but yet there must
abide faith hope and charity. Tho ago
of miracles was passed the full fruition
of tho Ideas of Christ was yet to come
but whether in the Infancy manhood or
old ago of Christianity faith hope and
charity must continue to exist. Of theso
qualities faith must be something moro
than mero belief. A man mny have faith
that a certain ship will carry him safely
across the broad sea but unless ho In
trusts himself and his treasures upon It
he will always remain upon tho hither
shore. Mere belief in the existence
power and goodness of God is not
enough. The Christian must act upon
that belief and trust himself entirely to
the Creator. He must clve' himself en
tirely up to God and let his own ways
anu meiuuusgo.
Hone as mentioned br tho anostle
means a confident expectation of greater
glory. Tho hope that has any doubt
mixeu wnu n; me none mat expresses
Itself: "I hone It will not nrove true."
Is not the quality which tho Bible prom-
ises to Christians. Tho bono meant is
akin to knowledge; it Is the result of
iann anu is inecenninty mat mo prom-
ises of God will bo fulfilled nnd that a
well spent life will have Its fruition
hereafter. Both faith and hope nro
abiding Christian virtues joined by tho
apostle to charity but said he "tho
greatest of these Is charity."
Tir charity Is meant love. "Show mo"
said the speaker "what a man loves and
I will tell you what kind of a man ha is."
If a man subordinates nil else to money
if his only thought Is how ho can pile
dollars upon dollars possessions upon
possessions; if all things ara made
to take n second place to tho
thirst for gold the miser standi
before the world self-confessed. His
only love Is money. Ltko unto him the
man that loves position nnd power am-
bitious to hold a front sent In tho world's
tabernacle a nigh place nt tho banquet.
Ambition Is his god. As the boy Imi-
tates the father whom lie loves strives
to wnlk like Mm tnlk llko him act like
him so nil men grow Into the Images of
thoso things they love. The miser be-
comes but n counterpart of his own
money-bags the politician of the power
to which he aspires and tho Christian
who loves God thus irrons more llko
God. As man loves God and god-like
qualities so ho becomes more rod-like
himself and only throuL-li lovo for God
can ho hops to become llko Him. But
love is the greatest of virtues be
cause it is tun ono wuicu uou Him-
self exercises. He Is omniscient and
uencf can not experience iann uecause
what Is faith In man Is knowledge with
God. Hu Is omnipotent and enn not
know hopo because He can turn all
things to suit Ills own purposes and
hopo would be unknown to Jllm; when
men desire Is enough. ButloYo Ho feels.
"God ho loved the world that lie cavo
his only begotten Son that whomsoever
neiioveu in mm migni not pcrisn out
have everlasting life" said St. John nnd
the utterance of that Son was : "God Is
love." I.ovo is not only felt by God but
It Is n quality In which man participates
with God. As wo love Him no lie In
turn lores us nnd tho result of this mu-
tual aiructlon Is tho bringing of the
Christian nearer to God the mnklng him
more llko God tho full fruition of the
doctrines of Jesus Christ. Hence St.
aul well snld : "And tho ureaUst of
these Is charity." '
A SAD DEATH.
Auitln Lai; Suddenly Kills Mlmietf While Play.
IngWIIh a Loads 1 Pistol.
A tcrrlblo and heartrending accident
happened yesterday morning when
Austin Lacy Jr. aged 10 almost In-
stantaneously killed himself by the dis
charge of a pistol. Mr. G. T.MaoN'ab
an Invalid who had gono out to reside
at Lock Hill the resldenco of Mr. Austin
Lacy Sr. was lying in his room when
tho boy came in nnd took down a small
US calibre pistol with which he com
menced playing. This was unfortunately
done outsldo of Mr. MaoKab's room or
the accident may never have happened.
Shortly nfter this tho gentleman heard a
shot fired and rushing out of his room
he found young Austin laying on tho
ground shot through the head. Mr
MacNab took the boy up and carried
htm Into his room and there In a few
minutes Austin breathed his last. Medl
cal assistance was not available and
even though It were It Is not probable
that the boy would bavo lived. Mr. and
Mrs. Austin Laoy were away at a picnic.
and on their return from a party of
pleasure ond enjoyment they found
their boy dead dead without ono fare
well word ; gono without a kiss a look
Again nnd ngaln havo tho publio been
warned by fatal examples by sudden
deaths and fearful wounds of the
danger of leaving loaded fire-arms
about especially where children ara to
be found. Every house every homo
should have Its weapons of destruction
locked double locked on such things
nnd only when they are absolutely
needed should they bo brought out
Fewer aecldcnts would then happen

WALTER MALLEY'S STORY.

New Hivr-v February 17. Walter
M alley says that Blancho Douglass Is In
a Cathollo religious Institution out West
Ho says he was In n Now York saloon
recently and was attended by a female
wnttcr. He asked her to drink with him
and she quickly acquiesced. After a few
remarks of a general character ho asked
her name. To his surprise she said It
was Blanche Douglass. Ho asked her if
she remembered tho incidents of tho
famous trial in No w Haven and sho said
she did. Proceeding sho related about
everylhlngof Importance connected with
tho trial. " Every littlo lnaldcnt" said

CixciNTfATT February 22. The exami-
nation of the bodies of the Taylor fam-
ily found In the Ohio medical college
mentioned In last night's dlspateh
shows that all three had bean murdered
all tho bodies showing unmistakable
signs of violence the skulls of Taylor
and his wife being fractured. Whether
tbe family was murdered for money or
the dissecting table is not known but
the general belief Is that they were
killed for the latter purpose. Tho houso
where Taylor lived was a desolate spot
one half mile from a neighbor. Allen
Ingalls Jeff Lout Hichard In galls and
Ben Johnson all colored residing In the
vioinity of the murder have beea ar-
rested suspected of being the perpe-
trators of the crime. Later. Marshal
Brown of Avonsdale has been the
means of discovering the bodies of the
Taylor family in the Ohio Medical aol-
lega and causing the arrest of the four
colored men named in the previous dis-
patch as the murderers. The bodies
were reoelved at the medical college on
Friday night. Dr. CUly demonstrator
of anatomy says that he knows tbe men
who brought tho bodies to the college
but does not know their names as such
business Is always done with as little
ceremony as possible. Ha had no sus-
picion they were murdered until Mar-
shal Brown- Identllied them and ha
found their skulls crushed. The colored
men arrested are not openly known to
be resurrectionists but there haa been
uncertainty about now one of them tup-
ported himself. The examination be-
gins at Avonsdala to-morrow.
