THE KATY WINS.
DECISION RENDERED IN THE
INJUNCTION SUIT.
Judge Stewart Acts Indiscriminate-
ly and the Missouri Kansas and
Texas Gets What It Asked for —
How the Decision is Regarded in
San Antonio and What the Prob-
able Outcome Will Be.
A termination was reached last
evening in the injunction suit be-
tween the Missouri Kansas & Tex-
as and the International and Great
Northern for the control of the Gal-
veston Houston and Henderson
railway between Galveston and
Houston. Judge Stewert delivered
a lengthy decision. He stated that
he will not interfere with the run-
ning of the International and Great
Northern in the use of their motive
power nor with the present time
tables. He said he will give the
Galveston Houston and Hender-
son the supervising power over the
trains of the Missouri Kansas and
Texas and International and Great
Northern which go over the road
so that there will be no collision or
obstruction. The International and
Great Northern was given the
power to adjust the time tables.
The court adjourned until Id o’clock
this morning.
THE LOCAL OPINION.
The general opinion among rail-
road men in San Antonio in re-
gard to the decision rendered by
•Judge Stewart at Galveston in the
injunction suit between the Inter-
national and Great Northern and
the Missouri Kansas and Texas is
about as follows: .Judge Stewart
dealt indiscriminately with all the
roads concerned. The Missouri
Kansas and Texas is the gainer
over the International and Great
Northern the Galveston Houston
and Henderson and all other roads
in the state to a certain extent.
The Missouri Kansas and Texas
had everything to gain and
nothing to lose. By this
road running over the track be-
tween Houston and Galveston the
receipts of the other roads will be
reduced but it will be beneficial to
all points reached by or tributary
to the Missouri Kansas & Texas
and connections. Santa Fe
will be affected as much as any
road. Judge Stewart’s decision
will prove beneficial to the state at
large as it will naturally create
much competition and very likely
cause a reduction in rates. The
Missouri Kansas & Texas will
now very probably fix up schedules
of their own for trains between
Houston and Galveston and make
matters lively for their competi-
tors. The opinion prevails that
there will be no serious
complications arising whereby
trains of one road will interfere
with the trains of the other roads.
A large bulk of the northwest busi-
ness which has heretofore been
transported over the roads reach-
ing the eastern states to Galveston
will in the future come over the
Missouri Kansas and Texas. In
time a great deal of European trade
may be expected to go through the
port at Galveston and the Missouri
Kansas and Texas will interfere
with the other roads from a finan-
cial standpoint which will no
doubt however prove beneficial to
the state at large.
The west bound passenger of the
Southern Pacific and the south-
bound passenger of the Interna-
tional and Great Northern were
each one hour late this morning.
Archie Brightwell the express
messenger on the Port Lavaca
branch of the Southern Pacific is
' city visiting his brother.
Charles Reynolds the popular
passenger brakeman running west
from Sanderson on the Southern
Pacific is in the city on a fifteen
days’ lay-off.
IIET WE E N ST A TIG NS.
William Murry the southern
passenger agent for the Illinois
Central with headquarters at
New Orleans La. was in the city
yesterday ami left for the east
over the Southern Pacific last
night. He expects World’s fair
travel to increase next month.
William Dunn the foreman of
the Southern Pacific wrecking
train expects to leave for Chicago
next Friday accompanied by his
daughter.
Edward E. Moulton passenger
engineer an the San Antonio di-
vision of the Southern Pacific and
Freight Engineer 11. A. Donaldson
left for Chicago yesterday to visit
the fair. They say they will meet
Mr. Dunn and daughter on the
Midway.
Beginning on September Ist the
salaries of the employes of the
Union Pacific at OmahaNebraska
will be reduced 10 and 20 per cent.
It is yet undecided whether the
cut will be accepted.
Harry Dunn machinist in the
Southern Pacific shops; Joseph
Reynolds brakeman on the same
road ami Dennis McGee have re-
turned from a hunting trip to the
Medina. They reported doves plen-
tiful—also wild turkeys and goats;
and tame turkeys are not so very
scarce out that way either.
J. J. Ryan the general master
mechanic of the Southern Pacific
with headquarters at Houston ar-
rived in the city on No. 20 this
morning. He is here on a brief
stay and will leave again tonight.
Butler Refuses.
Steve Butler the young San An-
tonio sport called at the Light
office this morning and stated that
he would not light Bob McGee. He
said: “I am above fighting negroes.
There are plenty of white men in
the country and I will not lower
myself to tight a coon.”
CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
He Robbed His Employers and was
Lucky Enough to Escape
Punisment.
Ina store on Commerce street
there was a continual and mysteri-
ous disappearance of money.
Efforts were made to catch the
thief but the wrong parties were
suspected and those efforts were in
vain. The money disappeared
generally during the dinner time
and at last suspicion was attached
to an employee who is the son of
wealthy parents in the city. One
day $l7 dollars was placed where
the thief could get at it and a large
package was placed near it in
which a certain party was con-
cealed and in which holes were
bored to enable the watcher to see
all that was going on. When all
was quiet the suspected party
came in and apparently seeing the
coast clear he lifted the seventeen
dollars and put them in his pocket.
Soon after this he was
seized and the principal mem-
ber of the firm called. At first
he denied all knowledge of the
robbery but on being search the
money was found on him and a
every piece was marked and recog-
nized he saw that further denial
was useless and he made a con-
fession of his crime admitting
that he had taken about $lOO
which he had squandered away.
His friends made good the deficien-
cy and he was allowed to escape
punishment. Since then he has
left the city and it is hoped for
his parents sake that he will take
warning by the narrow escape he
has had from the penitentiary and
eschew his dangerous nefasious
practices.
Frasch's Idea.
City Assessor Frasch is in favor
of a law compelling all persons to
pay the taxes on their property
before a transfer can be made. In
this way he says there would be
no necessity in any council expend-
ing money in experts to furnish de-
linquent tax lists.
From the Exposition.
Geo. P. Ankerson and wife have
returned from the World’s fair
and report having had a royal
time in seeing sights and general
enjoyments. On their return trip
they visited relatives at Daven-
port lowa and there met Ed Ank-
erson and wife in their full bloom
of happiness. Ed holds a lucrative
posstion with the Cincinnati Soap
company for which institution he
is the traveling representative.
Thanks to Mr. Ankerson for a
World’s fair souvenir.

An Explosion.
Mrs. McNanay upset a lamp at
her home near the Aransas Pass
depot last night and an explosion
resulted. Mrs. McNanay’s arms
and breast were badly burned and
she had to be conveyed to the
Santa Rosa hospital in the patrol
wagon. Her husband was also
burned but not seriously.
The Saps Defeated.
The Sunsets and the Saps played
an interesting game of base ball
last Sunday on the grounds of the
latter opposite the passenger depot
on South Flores street. The score
up to the eighth inning was 9 to 8
in favor of the Saps. The Sunsets
then set in with a grim determi-
nation to win the game and batted
eight runs making the score 16 to
9 and shutting the Saps out in the
last inning.
The batteries were: De Arment
Huston Ragsdale and Croucher
for the Sunsets; Patterson and
Hildebrandt for the Saps.
Huston struck out Donahue the
captain of the Saps which every
pitcher Donahue has faced this
season has failed to do. Huston is
the making of a good twirler and
with a little practice would be able
to play on the Santones.
Double plays were made by Green
and Crevestine who executed two
of these for the Sunsets and Green
and Boubel one. A feature was a
one-handed catch of Gish for the
Sunsets in the fifth inning.
“Red" Is Now a Colonel.
“Red” Armstrong who caught
for the San Antonio professional
team last year and played with
Montgomery Ala. and Charleston
S. C. this season has been signed
by Manager Billy Barnie of the
Louisville “Colonels.” He will
play in the outfield and alternate
behind the bat with Billy Weaver
and Grim. The Louisville team is
at present playing in Philadelphia.
Kilroy and Weaver were the bat-
tery for Louisville yesterday and
today the battery will probably be
Wittrock and Armstrong. Louis-
ville now has two ex-San Antonio
catchers —Weaver and Armstrong.

Congressional Proceedings and Na-
tional and State Capital Notes.
After the several propositions of
the Bland amendments to the W il-
son bill had been voted down in
the House as reported yesterday
in the Light a vote was taken on
the Wilson bill which repeals the
Sherman purchase law. The vote
by which this repeal was carried
astonished its best friends 240 to
110. Of the 13 members of the
Texas delegation—Crain Gresham
Paschal and Pendleton voted for
repeal; and the other nine—Abbot
Bailey Baker Bell Cockrell Cul-
berson Cooper Hutchinson Kil-
gore and Sayers voted against the
repeal. After this vote was taken
the house adjourned Catchings of
Mississippi giving notice that he
would ask a consideration of his
report on rules today.
The Senate by a vote of 32 to 29
voted against the seating of Mantel
and Allen. This decides in the
negative the right of any governor
of any state to appoint a Senator
to fill a vacancy that occurs by the
regular expiration of the term
even if the sitting legislature fails
to reach a vote and elect a senator.
Thi* passage of the act repealing
the Sherman law was received
from the House and immediately
referred to the Senate finance com-
mittee. Voorhees chairman of
that committee says that it will
receive prompt attention. Sher-
man will address the Senate on
silver on Wednesday and Wollcot
will follow him on Thursday. Bill
passes Senate allowing certain
Cherokee claimants to purchase
lands not exceeding 80 acres each
on which they had made improve-
ments.
There is a disposition on the
part of some members of senate to
oppose confirmation of certain ap-
pointments by the president where
the appointee is a non-resident of
the state in which theofficeis held.
