MAJOR J. E. DWYER CONSIGNED
TO MOTHER EARTH.
His Biography -Particulars
Deoth-Descrlptlvo Report
of Burial Procession.
Yesterday evening about 7:13 the sad
news spread around the city that Major
Joseph Edward Dwyer was dead. Those
who received the news were. Inclined at
flrst to be somowhat Incredulous but
the report was soon discovered to bo a
faot. Apparently In the enjoyment of
robust health be was taken 111 yesterday
with a congestive chill followed by a
high fever to which he eventually suc-
cumbed. Major Joseph Edward Dwyer
was 43 years old and born In San An.
tonlo. Ills parents were very wealthy
they dying while be was yet a boy. A
guardian was appointed for young
Dwyer In the person of Francis Gull-
beau Sr. Major Dwyer received his
education In France and therefore the
fluency with which he used the language
of that country was no surprise. When
he had completed bis education he re-
turned to his native country to And It
on tho eve of an Internecene war. With
all the ardour of youth he embraced as
was perhaps only natural the cause of
the Confederacy and was appointed an
aide-de-camp to General Sibley the
famous Confederate commander. In the
war he served throughout with brave-
ry and distinction returning at the close
of the struggle onco more to this city
holding the rank of Major and be found
his time was fully occupied In
managing and superintending the large
estates lie had Inherited from his
father. The latter years of his life have
been passed In the political arena ho
becoming a staunch Democrat and bo
was ever found In the front rank wher-
ever n political Issue that affected the In-
terests ot bis party or the people ef his
section occurred. He had been a
member of the State Senate and
during his presence In " that body
be was conspicuous for rare ability.
He likewise fulfilled the olllces of
County Commissioner and Justice
In Bexar county while be has been a
member of the City Council for several
years. He was also a resnected member
of the Albert Sydney Johnson Camp of
conieuerate veterans Mexican juuiuat
Aid society and the San Antonio Social
club. In religion Major Dwyer was a
Catholic and a strict devotee to that
faith. He has always been n leading
citizen and a popular Democrat.
Our publlo schools have much to
be grateful lor to Maor Dwyer
their present prosperity being mainly
due to the exertions the deceased gen-
tleman has made in the cause of educa-
tion. There was every probability that
J. E. Dwyer would have been the next
Mayor and eventually United States
Minister to Mexico this last being the
acme of his ambition. The deceased
leaves a wife one daughter and three
sons two of whom Joseph and Samuel
are now very 111. Edward the eldest
son Is at present at a law school In
Baltimore where. he Is finishing Ills
education for the legal profession. He
leaves a considerable fortune which
consists of valuable real estate In the
city a line ranch on the Leona etc. Ills
fortune Is estimated at $1000(10.
This morning nt 10 o'clock the resi-
dence of the late gentleman was crowded
by his many friends. All the prominent
citizens were there talking in subdued
tones and Mr. Juan Cardenas delivered a
touching sneech. euloo-lzini? the Intetr-
rlty andother merits of- their departed
menu me auuress was in apaniBu
and especially directed toward the mem-
bers of the Mutual Aid eoclety. Shortly
after the hour of 10 Bishop Neraz at-
tended by Uvo priests and acolytes
slowly came from tho house preceding
the casket which was covered with rare
floral offerings and bore a simple silver
plate with age of deceased cbantlngthe
service of the Catholic faith for the re-
pose of the dead and amid the
large group of sorrowing friends
and sympathizers that followed
the casket there was not one but that
had tears in their eyes. In slow proces-
sion the remains were borne to San Fer-
nando cathedral being escorted by the
Mayor and city ofllclals members of the
city polioe in uniform the Confederate
veterans and the Mutuallsta society.
Entering the cathedral which was
heavily draped in mourning the body
was carried by the pall bearers to the bier.
The requiem mass sung was In F by
Schmidt and during the offertory Pro-
fessor Barbour M. II. performed the
celebrated "Marche Funobre" of Cho-
pin with all the fervor and delicacy'
only to be done by a true artist. At the
conclusion of the mass the body was
again consigned to the hearse and the
cortege proceeded to the cemetery In

" She Wanted a House.
l
An amusing Incident occurred last
night at one of our public gardens. ( .A
.conversation was overheard between a
young oouple sitting in one of the shady:
recesses earnestly discussing matters of
a future home. Sho was holding one of
Ed Stevel & Sons' lately Issued circu-
lars In her hand reading of grim vltaged
war war paint and freeze-out games :
Why dear this Is not war at all: It la
the much talked of reduction In lumber
and here Ed Stees it Sons say that they
will sell actually below cost. This Is a
golden opportunity not to be lost. You
must make your purchase to-morrow
nnd build a house for us on that empty
lot" A noise prevented the hearing
of what followed. Nevertheless It Is
true lumber merchants are on the war
path. The circulars ot Ed Steves A
Sons are scattered far and wldo broad
cast over the land announcing the out of
prices In lumber and building material.
Whatever the cause may be It Is none
ino less an opportunity tor many a man
to procure a home under advantages
thai may never occur again.

drunk and drove very recklessly. The
wonder Is that his neck was not broken.

A basket filled with fine luscious fruit
found Its way to the office of the LimiT

THE WOOL INTERESTS OF WEST
ERN TEXAS.
Facts and Figures Showing; Why
All Wool Growers Should
Oppose the Democrats
KdllorRjn Antonio '.ijthli
If the wool growers of Texas who am
told by the Democrata that the reduc-
tion in the price ol wool and the de-
pression of tho wool market were not
Influenced by the tariff reductions or
1883 would consult the offlolal statistics
they would find convincing proof of the
deceit or the party that professes to
have their Interests at heart.
By tho tarlfflawof lS83tho duty on
clothing wool was reduced 0.7 per cent
on valuation; on combing wool S per
cent. and on carpet wool -MO per cent.
the following table shows the quan
tity of each of the three qualities of
wool above mentioned Imported during
the six months ending December 31
18S2 under the old tariff law of 18C7
and the quantity Imported during tho
corresponding six months or 1SS3 under
the new tnrlfl law or 1883 with the
amount of duties oollci ted thereon:

Tbeso figures Indicate an Increase In
the quantity Imported under the now law
or nearly 18000000 pounds (about GO per
cent.) In six months; and also an In
crease In the duties collected In tho samo
period of $714053 (over 40 per cent.)
and show clearly that the reduction In
the tariff which was forced by the Dew
ocrats bas'resulted In an enormous In.
crease In the Importation of wool and a
very large Increase In the revenue In
spite of the reduction In rates.
Judging from the utterances of the so-
called "tariff reformers" (Including Mr.
T. A. HcndrlckO their position Is that
all that Is necessary to keep the
tariff at a revenue standard is to
reduce rates. How much wisdom there
Is in this policy may be Judged from tho
foregoing figures. These .tlgures also
serve to Illustrate the folly of the theory

In the last session of Congress to make a

The wool Industry can only be saved by
a return to the tariff law. wisely enact-
ed in 1807 by the Republican party the
party of brains nnd genius and which
was as near correct as possiule.
What the Democrats hove done with
wool they have attempted to do with
other Industries. The portion or their
platform touching on the Important
Issue of tariff Is a 14-15-13 puzzle but Its
Intent Is obvious when we consider It
