THAT WEST END ACCIDENT.
How the You ng Ladies Were Th town
Out.
The accident to Misses Dashiell and

which no adequate reason could be
learned down to the time of going to

after being hurt and by whom Mr.
Jaggi was notified and asked to bring
them into the city. The ladies
were quietly driving towards West
End when the horse shied at aMexican
blanket on some bushes turned sud-
denly to one side and tilted the buggy
so that the ladies were thrown out
aud their heads striking the ground
stunned them. Miss Dashiell was
thrown against a rock which accounts
for her more serious injuries. Both

rapidly but neither of them haveany
clear recollection of the occurrence.

date of Dec. 21st makes inquiry con-
cerning one John Draper. The inquir-
er wishes to know his present where-
abouts and particulars concerning

edge was the James S. Draper hack
driver who was shot dead iu front of
the Menger hotel on the ulght of No-
vember 26th 1889. The only name
appearing in the directory is John 8.
Draper but no such person Is kuown
at this office or at the police office. If
any one knows of John S. Draper send
his name to tlie Light end the infor-
mation will be forwarded.
A Kick at San Antonio
A “legal light” from a neighboring
city indulges in a leugthy communi-
cation to a Laredo paper on the recent
action of the city council in licensing
houses of prostitution. He criticises
the council for not licensing the fre-
quenters of such houses and com-
pelling a register to be kept of their
names and imposing a fine for false
registration etc. This legal light
conceals his briliancy under a pint
‘cup he should give his whole front
name to the public and tell the city
council how to compel such a registra-
tion as that of which he speaks.
What the patent process is by which
the real names of the patrons of the
houses of the demi-monde shall be
elicited is not set forth. If the writer
will give his own name when he
| comes to the city for such houses are
j largely supported from outside per-
’ haps a special tax cau be levied on him
for his special benefit. Evils are evils
and vice is vicious and the pure haa e
nothing to do with impure things.
It is very much to be regretted that
society is not immaculate but so long
as it is not and evils exist it is wiser
to recognize tbeir existence and pro-
vide for their restraint than to ignore
their existence and confound all dis-
tiuctions. The existing law iu this
city places these houses and gam-
bling houses as well makes their
transactions open to the police puts
it within the power of the respectabfe
to keep them from spreading over the
city because the character ot the
house is made public and in manv
other ways conserves the peace aiA
good morals ot the community. So
long as evils abound it is the part of
governments to do the best possible
thing in relation to them and
this is what the city council
of San Antonio has done.
The Pope Scorned as Arbitrator.
London January 9.—The Times
has ascertained that the order of the
Portuguese authorities forbidding
the British steamers to receive at
Quillimarin letters from the vice con-
sul and other British subjects was
issued on September 10 a month af-
ter Mr. Johnson the British consul at
Mozambique had reached Shireriver.
The Times says the order was proba-
bly issued with the direct view of de-
laying Mr. Johnson’s dispatches. The
Chronicle’s correspondent at Rome
says that the king of Portugal sug-
gested that the pope should act as ar-
bitrator in the dispute between him-
self and England but England re-
fused point blank to accept any such
mediation.

Jimmlnez’s Suspension
The reason why Martiuez Jimminez
was suspended as postal carrier iu
this city was because he did not emp-
ty the mail box in front of the jail
from Decernber Bth to the 30th and
when opened that box had 186 letters
iu it. Postmaster Johnson took the
pains to find out just when the letters
were mailed in that box and found
out a? above. The routes of the mount-
ed carriers had been lengthened to-
give an additional delivery to the
business men and this box was add-
ed to Jemniinez's old route. He dirt
not like the additional work and so
shirked it reporting at the office that
he had collected it.
