Detective Shoaf All Right.
Mayor Paschal has sent Mar- j
shal Druse the following letter:
“The honorable city council
authorized the mayor to make ap-
pointment of an assistant detect-
ive without reference to his con-
firmation by that body thus cast-
ing the entire responsibility for
such choice on the executive. In
carrying out this wish of the
council the mayor selected Geo.
Shoaf and caused him to be as-
signed to duty in the position in
which he has been serving. His
tenure thus became an executive
act and no power exists to deprive
him of same except by some
act of the mayor and council. The
act seeking to remove him from
the position he occupies without
sanction of the appointing power
is a nullity.
You cause the said
Shoaf to be restored to duty and
capacity to which he was appoint-
ed by the mayor.
If causes exist for his removal or
suspension the lawful usual and
accustomed channels must be re-
sorted to otherwise no powerexists
for action. Geo. Paschal
E. R. Norton Mayor.
Clerk.

WHAT WAS HIS REAL NAME.
Some More Data Respecting that
Englishman’s Mysterious Death.
In respect to the mysterious
death of the man called John Park-
inson Taylor who was registered
as J. P. Travis and who recently
died at the Maverick hotel an-
other revelation has been made.
It is this: An elderly gentleman
said to answer the description of
the deceased was the senior part-
ner in the law-firm of Taylor
Moore Taylor & Cook who have
offices at 28 Great James street
London W. C. that lies close to
Gray’s inn. This gentleman’s
name was James Parkerson Taylor
not John Parkinson Taylor as re-
ported but as the instruction for
burial comes presumably
from the son of James Park-
erson Taylor and from the
same firm’s address in London it
may be fairly presumed that the
party who died here was James
Parkerson Taylor. This gentle-
man was a duly qualified barrister
at law but as far as recorded in the
law list the only offices he ever
held were those of commissioner of
oath the court of chancery ap-
pointed in 1856 and for the court of
Queen’s Bench for which he was
appointed in 1861. These offices
are almost analagous to that of a
Texas notary public.

Cruelty to Children.
The parents of children attend-
ing the public schools make com-
plaint to the Light of the strict
i rules enforced in some of the
schools preventing the little ones
from leaving the room during cer-
tain hours to relieve the calls of
nature which is certainly working
i great injury to the children’s
I health. One little boy last Friday
at school No. — asked permission
of the teacher to retire from the
room and was refused. The child
could not control nature’s pressing
< call and the teacher whipped the
j little fellow and then sent him
home in a most terrible fix. This
is positive cruelty to children
I and the Light requests our su-
' perintendent to look into the mat-
i ter.

Test Case Beaten.
President W. H. Weiss personal-
ly answered the charge against
him this morning in recorder’s
court of overcharging fare on
street cais. This was made by Mr.
Otto Solms who lives on the cor-
ner of San Saba and Buena Vista
streets. He attempted to ride from
his residence east to his busi-
ness on East Commerce street
using the San Antonio Street
railway and attempting to ride for
one fare as the ordinance would
seem to provide for.
Mr. Weiss made the point
against the ordinance that In .rid-
ing on the San Pedro line on
Alamo street to make the connec-
tion Mr. Solms did not follow
the ordinance and go “in the same
general direction”and the recorder
dismissed the ease.

Fought the Constable.
A fight took place Saturday
night at Wasnig’s saloon on East
Commerce street between a
young man named Jackson and a
country constable named Martin
Mahula. Politics brought the row
forward and a lively fight was
had until the arrival of the patrol
wagon which settled it.
Mahula attempting to arrest
Jackson without showing his au-
thority because Jackson had
offered him a personal affront is
what Jackson says he fought him
about. Jackson was fined $5 and
Mahula dismissed by the re-
corder.
—Mr. August Briam’s name was
accidentally omitted in the report
of that barbecue held at Duval’s
ranch Friday.
