JACKSON’S EMPTY RIFLE.
flow HE THRICE REPULSED AN
IRATE NEGRO.
San Antonio Faces in Houston-
More of the Effects of the
Law and Order League.
Houston Tex. July 23 1891.
Special Correspondence to the Light.
Joe Jackson at one time a popular
bar keeper in San Antonio is now at
the Opera house saloon in Houston
where he had a lively time ot it the
other night. Joe was in charge and as
the colored servants in the rear were
making too much noise he sent and
told them to stop. One of these men
whose name is Joe Brindle and whose
skin is nearly white resented this
and sent back an insulting message
On this Jackson went himself
and Brindle was even more
insulting. Jackson could stand this
no longer and was taking off his coat
to thrash Brindle when he picked up
a oar of iron and would have used it
if not prevented. Brindle left then
vowing vengeance against Jackson
and returned latef on armed for that
purpose Jackson saw him coming in
and stooped down beniud the counter.
When he stood up again he bad a
rifle which he drew on Brindle who
cut and run with a speed rivaling
that of Tam O’Bhanter in his cele-
brated race with the de-
vil. Thrice Brindle repeat-
ed the attempt and thrice
was be repulsed The last time u
police officer and some friends chasec
him. but he fled like a startled deer.
Since then he has not been seen al-
though wanted by the police
Brindle had a pistol and evidently
meant business. Unfortunately Jack
son’s rifle was unloaded and be had
do pistol or this desperado who
boasts of having killed two men
might have been placed permanently
out of the way of doing further in-
jury. Jackson is very popular with
the boys and his friends are on the
still hunt for Brindle who will get
bis deserved punishment if caught.
Passenger Agent Fitzimmons for-
merly of the I. &. G. N. ticket office
is located here and doing well He is
“one ot the boys” now and does not
J think carry’a membership of the
Y. M. C. A. He and a party of friends
went to Morgan’s Point on Bunday to
escape from the Sunday law drought
and all sremed to have had a merry
time of it.
The charming Mrs. Tom Harrison
is visiting old friends in the city and
has many friends who always’ wel-
come her sunny smile and regret to
see her return to San Antonio.
Archie Lingan is running loose in
the city and having many friends is
having a good time of it.
Ike Sherman at one time a report-
er on the Express is now one ot the
leading news dealers of the city
and is the local Him Hart.
He is doing a thriving business
and has no desire to return to the
ranks of newspaper men although he
sometimes uses his laoer as a corres-
ponden*.
Oney Truax the well known Bel-
knap Rifleman is nere and is work-
ing for Don Northup the saddler.
His estimable wife however is in
Ban Antonio visiting friends.
Th* west her is still very hot and
there is scarcely any breeze. Asa re-
suit iut> citizens are considerably par-
boiled. Clouds indicating a desirable
rain are frequently seen but they pass
away without cooling off the unhap-
py mortals who swelter in the heat
The action of the city council in de-
fying the supreme court mandate to
admit Hoefling to his seat as aider-
man causes considerable comment
here and Bergstrom’s opinion has
created quite a laugh among the law-
yers. Despite his specious argument
and his great interest in the
dear people he must know
that under certain circumstances
even the mayor has the right to ap-
point an alderman ignoring the will
of the people and has exercised that
right. Lawyers here say the action
of the supreme court is right and
should be maintained and some citi-
zens point to this as another reason
why Ban Antonio should have a law
and order league. To the latter con-
clusion I most heartily dissent.
No wonder people use strong lan-
guage against Bam Jones and tne law
and order league for on all hands I
hear the assertion that they
have killed the town. Wheth-
er this is true or not
I cannot say more than that Hous-
ton is considerably dead. Mr. Japhet
a large wholesale liquor dealer here
tells me that since this law and order
business commenced hie sales have
been reduced about 51500 per month
and that it is estimated that Bunday
excursionists who go out in search of
liberty and beer spend about $5OOO
every Bunday elsewhere that would
be circulated among the citizens
These figures if correct as it is said
they are throw some light on the
cause of the deadness of Houston and
I have yet to learn that the enforce-
ment of the Bunday law has oeen
productive of good. Spasmodic and
legal morality as we have found in
San Antonio is like the good seed
that fell in shallow ground which
came up only to wither and perish.
I said Houston was dead; perhaps
I am wrong but if not she is lying in
a deep trance caused by apathy and
fanaticism. H. R.-T.
SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying
The "final action” has again been
put off until next Monday and if this
racket can be worked “final action”
will not be taken by the city council
in the Boelhauwe-Hoefling case until
Mr. Callaghan returns.
Pro Tern Mayor Bchriener chopped
ott the business of the city council
yesterday in a very sudden manner
and announced that he had taken the
liberty to submit the Boelhauwe-
Hoeflmg case to a good lawyer and
had been promised an opinion in time
for that meeting but the “good law-
yer” had informed him that he could
not complete his task until Saturday:
then the mayor pro tern cast a know-
ing wink at “good lawyer” Lockwood
and he motioned to adjourn until
Monday evening which was declared
carried in characteristic style.
* * *
This trifling with the mandate ot
the supreme court would be very
summarily dealt with by any “good
lawyers” in fact It would not take a
“good lawyer” five minutes to tell
the mayor pro tern that he had better
settle with his adversary before
the sun went down as he
was in danger of being
handed over to the officer and
the officer would turn the key of the
prison on him.
• • •
Cases of contempt for disobedience
of supreme court mandates are very
rare we know of but one other in the
history otjthe state. During the ad-
ministration of Gov. Davie Judge
Maney ot Begum put Judge Ireland
and other prominent lawyers in jail
for contempt; they appealed to the
supreme court; the supreme court is-
sued a mandate requiring Judge
Maney to reverse his action. He refus-
ed to obey the mandate of the su-
preme court because he thought
it wrong; the supreme court
sent a sheriff to Seguin and
arrested Judge Maney and took
him to Austin and put him in
jail. Judge Maney was a district
judge and stood high as a citizen and
an officer. This was under repub-
lican rule it is true.
* » *
Another child slaughtered by the
electcic monster. ‘Not an hour m th
day but just such horrible accidents
as the killing of little Hauser can
happen. The intersection of West
Houston and Soledad streets has been
turned into a switchyard for the elec-
tric motor lines; at times in fact all
day long business and travel are
seriously interfered with by the con-
centration of the cars from three
different lines; all the narrow streets
between the river and San Pedro av.
monopolized by car lines; the people
who come and go from the nothern
portion of the city in that quarter can-
not escape the danger and inconveni-
ence of these car lines.
• • •
North Flores street offers the only
chance for relief let the city council
abrogate the franchise on that street
and allow' the company to chose a
street west of the Ban Pedro. This
should be done before the electric line
is substituted for the mule.
* * *
Tife people know that they have
a mayor somewhere; in France or on
his way home again; they know that
we hail a city attorney but they
could not guess within a good many
miles of his present whereabouts; it
would not astonish the people to
wake up some of these fine summer
mornings aud find that the whole
"kaboodle” had skipped except
Beckmann and Hoefling The people
can't be surprised any more.

LOVE IN DIVINE.
BY UKNKY RYDER-TAYLOR.
Love Is divine the Bible says
And sages so repeat
No power ennobles us so well
Or makes our life complete.
No selfish thought or idle lust
Can with true love combine
We live and die by those we love.
And prove that Love's divine.
Love is divine so stories tell
And so fact says today
The haughty king its power owns.
And beggars feel its sway.
Like death it levels ranks and makes
The humble cot a shrine —
It n akes a heaven or hell for man
And proves that Love’s divine.
Love is divine say those who mate
As lovers all should do.
No failure there but happiness
If to their bond they’r true.
These live in sweet communion here
Though fortune may decline.
And hand in hand they walk through life
And prove that love's divine.
Love is divine the father says
In gazing on his boy
And guarding him in youthful days
He feels a father’s joy.
Should danger threaten that dear child
Or fate and ill assign
He guards that treasure as his life
And proves that love’s divine.
Loveis diviue the mother says.
When watching o'er her child
How tenderly she guides its steps
And warns with accents mild?
No sacrifice for her too great
No love is so benign
she’s gladly die to save her child.
And prove that love’s divine.
Love is divine so says the child
Thai's worthy of its sire
And stands besides his parents when
They his fond aid require.
No picture on this mundane sphere
Can in such splendor shine
As when the child his duty does
And proves that love’s defloe.
Love is divine so friendship said
When Pythias bonded stood
That Damon might his loved ones see
And parting take for good.
Though wife and friends besought that he
Escape from Death's confine.
He kept his faith with that dear friend.
And proved that Love’s divine.
Love is divine though men may show
Abortions of our race.
If men are true and womeL too
In them such love has place.
Exceptions always prove the rule—
At least so I opine-
As we adhere to natures laws
We prove that love’s divine.

BOY KILLED
Met Hie Death Quickly Under An
Electric Street Car.
Another death under the electric
motor wheels took place in front of
the Fountain saloon corner of Water
street on the East Commerce street
car line at 5 o’clock yesterday after-
noon and Willie 13 year old son of
Christian Houser was the victim. He
was killed Instantly and terribly
mangled both hands being nearly
cut off aud his head severed from his
body. These members were so nearly
cut off that only the flesh kept
them to the body. Car 66 was the
cause. The boy had been playing
near the flying Jenny on this street
and was running in the street. The
steam roller was approaching and he
ran to get out of it way and ran di-
rectly in f ont of the motor which
although the motor man reversed his
car and put on the brakes could not
be stopped before the wheels passed
over the boy. The body was taken
to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hauser
corner Bowie and Crocket streets aud
an inquest as to the cause of death
was begun. This has not yet been
finished.
The inquest was continued this
morning and the motor man N. E.
Turner and conductor A. W. Robin-
son gave in their testimony. They
said they were coming in from South
Heights snd met the steam roller.
The car was brought to a full stop to
allow the roller to cross the track
after this the ear started at
a three or four mile rate when
the boy suddenly dashed from around
behind the motor to within three feet
ot the car. The brakes were put on
at once but the car was already on
the boy as the jolting of the wheels
told. They could not see the boy on
account of the steam roller and the
boy could not see the car from the
same cause.
The funeral takes place at 4 o'clock
this afternoon.
