Fete Day at the Fair.
Chicago July 14.—France has
this as its special day at the fair.
The programme of the ceremonies
is one of unusual interest and is
in charge of Consul-General Bru-
waert. It is not expected that the
day will in any way compare with
the German day from the fact
that the French colony in the city
is a small one. The French build-
ing will however be profusely
decorated and it will be the ren-
dezvous for Frenchmen. It is
probable a banquet will be held in
one of the restaurants in the Fair
grounds.

assault upon them with a mattock

will die. The entire village is up

lynching Cook.

REPUDIATION CRY
Will be Silenced—And the People
Will Vote For the $240000.
Daily Light. a
When the city council on July
3rd repealed the ordinance of July
23rd 1892 “To provide ways and
means to ipeet current expences
e u c n it probably did not repeal to
C done! Breckenridge’s satisfaction
that clause that reads “and with
attorneys fees in case of judicial
proceedings as in said proposition
stipulated.”
The people here are determined
to repute the false cry of repudia-
tion they will vote on August Ist
to keep up our city government
and to pay off the old debts whicli
the city will be unabled to do when
it has settled with Col. Bracken-
ridge but it will then be the Colo-
nel and not the city that will have
to satisfy the costs for the use of
the namesof the legal artillery with
which the Colonel fortified his in-
junction suit. This puts us in mind
of a district court held not many
years ago in a county-seat about
twenty-five miles removed from
San Antonio when and where as
many attorneys here know the
following took place:
Two young men one charged
witli theft of a cow the other with
theft of a watch had their cases set
for the same day. The young man
charged with the theft of the watch
was somewhat of a rag and when
he employed a San Antonio lawyer
he gave him a watch as a retaining
fee “so that he would not have to
defend him on tick.” About that
time every one acquainted witli
this would ask the waggish client
“What time is it?” He had a pleas-
ant answer to every question
until the man witli the cow
case asked it when he
snaped at him “It’s time for you to
milk your cow.” Both got a ver-
dict of “not guilty” and when one
of the brothers of the watch man
congratulated him he added “I
bet you feel relieved” be came out
promptly “relieved of all know-
ledge of time and 10% of all my
filthy lucre. When lie was ask-
ed about his colleague he said
“Why that fellow will be on a cow
trail for years before he looses
sight of his first heifer.”
Still it may be that the welfare
of this city is sb dear to the
Colonel’s legal force that it will be
very cheap to him.
The|proposition will and ought to
be carried and witli it will fall the
injunction suit and the ‘known to
be’ false cry of repudiation.
Yellow Fever Checks Business.
Philadelphia July 14.— Mr.
Berry United States consul at San-
tos says: “('apt. Holland of the
brig Odarilla who has arrived

from Santos. Mr. Berry was just
recovering from an attack of yel-
low fever when we left Brazil and
his health is completely shattered.
When taken sick the consul gave
me his keys and gave me authori-
ty to make out all papefs. These

do nothing and the office was
closed the clerks and both vice-
consuls having died with the

MARRIAGE A FAILURE.
Two Divorce Suits Filed in the Dis-
trict Court.
Marriage proved a failure to
Margaret Brannon and she conse-
quently prays for a divorce from
her husband Robert Brannon a
carpenter. The suit is to be tried
in the Forty-fifth district court at
the next term. They were married
on April 15 1882 in Nueces
county and have resided in
San Antonio the past twelve
months. They formerly lived in
Del Rio where the husband is
said to have abused his wife out-
rageously. In December 1891 be-
fore day-light on a bitter cold
morning Brannon compelled his
wife to get up from bed whence
she was confined by illness and
milk fifteen cows. She became
exhausted and was carried home
by her friends. When Bran-
non became aware of this he
expressed himself in a most in-
human manner and showed in-
difference in respect of the con-
dition of his wife. He is a strong
and healthy man and would per-
mit his wife to go out in the early
morning and milk twenty and
thirty cows while he remained
comfortably in bed.
The wife alleges that he has
treated her in a similar
cruel manner --almost con-
stantly since they were married.
Tlie wife prays that she have
custody and control of William a
boy nine years old the only issue
of the marriageand that her maid-
en name Margaret Frankenburg
be restored to her.

gust 61886 in Bee county. They
