I A Murderous Attack.
■ A Negro man named Griffin
Riade a murderous assault on an-
Lther Negro man a carriage driver
Ln Alamo plaza yesterday after-
noon with an axehandle. Griffin
assaulted his man while the latter
was driving the carriage contain-
ing two little children. While the
blows were raining on the driver’s
head he was trying to keep the
horses from running away and in-
juring the children and was at
the mercy of Griffin until Officer
Hildreth came up quickly and
pulled Griffin off and arrested him.
Bystanders who saw the attack
say it was a most cowardly and
brutal assault and Griffin by per-
iling the lives of the children de-
served to be dealt with severely by
the law r . The recorder transferred
his case this morning to the state
courts.
The cause of the attack was over
a debt. San Hough is the assault-
ed party.
A COMMON CAUSE OF SICKNESS.
la Warm Weather Nothing So Dan-
gerous as Decayed Foods.
Every one knows or ought to know that
decayed foods are poisonous. Boards of
Health seek to prevent their sale.
We now have In mind the results which
follow the decay and decomposition of
foods after they have been eaten for un-
less digestion occurs within a reason-
able time after our meals decomposition
sets in.
If dyspeptics will stop and consider for
a moment some of the symptoms of their
trouble such as disagreeable breath
eructations of gas or bad taste In the
mouth they will understand that they all
must come from decaying foods that ought
properly to have been aosorbed into the
system.
Spots before the eyes dizziness sleep-
lessness dyspeptic headaches are but a
few of the effects following the absorp-
tion Into the blood of poisons developed
from decomposing and undigested food
that lies in tne stomach.
It was a recognition of this Important
fact that caused the Mount Lebanon
Shakers to devote so much of their time
to the preparation of a remedy for dys-
pepsia and nothing Is more efficient than
the Digestive Cordial which they have
recentlv placed on the market.
The Importance of their invention will
be appreciated when we realize what a
proportion of the community are victims
of some form of stomach trouble. Thou-
sands of pale thin people have little in-
clination to eat and what they do eat
causes them pain and distress.
Its action is so prompt that relief fre-
quently follows the very first dose. It
restores the appetite and increases the
weight. Plumpness and strength take
the place of weakness and that care-
worn expression which points out the
dyspeptics In every community. The
local druggists are now giving away In-
teresting descriptive pamphlets.
Keep the Boys in the Camp Yard.
Attention of the proper authori-
ties should be directed to the prac-
tice of country men visiting the
city with their sons or little broth-
ers and taking the boys out with
them at night to “see the sights.”
These “sights” are quite frequently
the chile stands variety theatres
gambling saloons and often worse
places.
A special officer at one of the va-
riety theatres reports that last
night he refused to admit some
lads yet in knickerbockers to the
ball room and saloon although
they were accompanied by their
older brothers. The older men be-
came very angry because the
“kids” were not allowed in the
place as they knew themselves
could not have any fun if the boys
were idly watching them from the
door and were having no fun and
perhaps taking mental notes with
which to regale the “folks at
home.”
Social Club Entertained.
The Star Social club was enter- I
talned last night by Miss Ida Bark- 1
er at her home corner Wyoming <
and South Olive street. Music and
games were in progress and several
recitations were given by the mem-
bers. <
The feature of the evening was 1
Mr. Cross in character songs with <
comical “make up.”
Several new members were ad- 1
mitted * and the club then ad- 1
journed.

Matrimonial Prospects.
Owing to the fact of assuming
family duties there is a vacancy
in the “Garcon Sale” division at
Scholz’s Palm Garden. Max R.
and Lizzie 8. are the contracting
parties to matrimonial partner-
ship. The union will be celebrated
about the middle of this month.
The Light congratulates in ad-
vance.
City Road Hogs.
The city garbage cart drivers are
proving to the wheelmen of the
city that they are greater hogs
than any other class of drivers.
They rely on their heavy carts to
stand any shock and pretend to be
asleep when they meet a bicycle or
। even acarrige or buggyand steadi-
| ly “keep in the middle of the road.”
RAILROAD NOTES.
According to the Railroad Ga-
-5 zette there were 88 railroad acci-
dents during the month of July in
which 25 persons were killed and
। 76 injured.
Ward Malone basobtained judg-
ment for $llOOO in a damage suit
against the Katy at San Marcos |
for personal injuries received in a ;
wreck at Smithville two years ago.
The extension of the Aransas
; Pass track to the Standard com-
press at Houston which has caused
the crossing fight with the Santa
: Fe has been completed.
Railroad men estimate that 200-
1000 people are coming to Texas in
October and that 40000 visitors
will *go to Dallas to attend the
physical culture carnival.

RAILROADS WILL SUFFER.
The Cotton Crop Will Not Equal
That of Last Summer.
Mr. E. J. Martin general freight
agent of the San Antonio & Aran-
sas Pass railroad returned yester-
day from a week’s business trip
over the line accompanied by
Traveling Passenger agent J. B.
Brooks Chief Clerk C. E. Mangan
and Stenographer A. D. Davis.
Mr. Martin was seen this morning
by a reporter for the Light and
speaking of the trip said:
“We had a very pleasant and
satisfactory trip in a business way.
I was particularly interested in
sizing up the cotton crop On the
road and am satisfied that re-
latively the territory tributary to
the Aransas Pass will produce
about as good a crop as other por-
tions of the state —say about two
thirds of last season’s phenomen-
al yield. Notwithstanding the
lesser production of the great
staple the interior merchants and
business men generally seem to be
hopeful and say that they will
have good business this fall as the
higher prices ruling will no doubt
give the cotton growers as much
money as they received for their
larger crops last season. The only
losers by the decrease in produc-
tion will be the railroads of the
state.”

BAD BRICK FOUND.
A Sensation Develops Over It.
Quite a stir was created about
the city hall today by the disclo-
sure that inferior brick had been
found in heaps on the sewer
trenches now being opened on San-
ta Clara and Centre streets in the
Seventh ward. The mayor was
informed about it yesterday after-
noon and went out and saw the
brick. It is said he was very angry
to find such poor material being
even delivered for inspection and
made the remark that he would
not pay 15 cents a load for them.
A pile of these brick were
dumped in front of ex-Inspec-
tor Kuefner’s house on Santa Clara
street and the old man inspected
several. He then showed samples
to the mayor interested him.
Citizens also testified to see-
ing the brick on the ground.
This morning the Mayor and
Aiderman Beckmnan went out to
the sewers and • looked at
the brick. The city engineer was
summoned also. He stated that the
brick found had not yet been passed
on by Inspector Parkhurst but
that samples of these brick sub-
mitted to him had been found to
come up to the regulation absorp-
tion test and were all right. He
would give a bonded guarantee
that the eight manholes now
built of these brick in this
part of tho sewer work would be
found to be all right. The in-
spector had his instructions and
had followed them and tlue poor
brick would be thrown out.
Aiderman Beckman was also of
the opinion that no poor brick
had gone into the manholes but
the mayor was difficult to convince
and still maintains his disgusted
opinion of the brick.
A citizen who had a conversation
with the mayor yesterday and today
says he picked up one of the brick
from a pile which the masons in-
formed him were good brick and
broke them between his fingers and
afterward crushed them to powder.
The brick will run at about $5
l per thousand in cost.

Wednesday or the following Fri-

gagement of the hall.

Let No One Escape.
If our eagle-eyed city bookkeeper
will be as careful in checking up
the big city bills as he is the little
bills for city advertising he could
save the city a nice sum of money
and be entitled to a Populist metal
medal. Suppose some of those
election bills which find their
way through the street work or
$6O a month paid to garbage carts
who offer to do the work for $45 a
month or the $2O a month forage
bills allowed for feeding bicycles
be kicked at a little. See that
all city employes labor full time
for which they are paid and re-
quire every person doing work for
the city to live strictly up to the
contract and the tax-payers will
have no kick coming to them.

A New Consumption Cure Perhapa.
Washington Sept. 7.—A new
cure for consumption has been re-
ported to the state department by
United States Consul Chancellor
at Harve. He says the cure was
first brought to the attention of the
word at the congress of physicians
and Bordeaux to consid
er the question of combating con-
sumption by’ vaccination. Prof.
Mariglianor an Italian read a pap-
er which attracted much attention
claiming to have discovered an ef-
ficacious process for the treatment
of consumption by injection of tu-
bercular serum which he says
renders the subjects iinniunable to
the|disease. The consul says this par
ticular process is still in the ex-
perimental stage. The paper is
open to several objections for
Prof. Marigliano gives no precise
information as to his process for
obtaining the serum which can be
had only’ from himself; his statis-
tics are incomplete and lacking
confirmation and hisjlnfallible
cure cannot be regarded as an ac-
complished fact.
The Paris Anarchist.
Paris Sept. 7.—The man who
attempted to explode a bomb in
the vestibule of the Rothschild
bank still refuses to reveal his
identity. All he will say about
himself is that he is a deserter
from the army. In the hope of
obtaining Information of the man
and his antecedents the police will
distribute 500 photographs of him
throughout France. An analysis
of the contents of the bomb taken
from the prisoner shows it was
composed of sixty to seventy
grammes of chlorate of potassium
and fifteen to twenty grammes of
ordinary gunpowder.
