BEEVILLE BUZZINGS.
Beeville Oct. 25 1893.
Emmett Atkins a grown son of
the late J. B. Atkins committed
suicide yesterday morning out at
their • ranch eight miles in the
Country by taking an overdose of
morphine. He left a note stating
that the reasons for his committing
the rash act was that he had
ruined himself but failed to state
in what way and this is supposed
to have been a delusion as he
stood well in the community. He
was undoubtedly partially insane
this disease having more than
once manifested itself in the fam-
ily. His mother took fier own life
some years ago by the use of a
shot gun.
Mr. Guy Thompson and Miss
Neita Bodenheimer were married
yesterday at the home of the
bride’s parents.
Mrs. Hanly of Oakville stopped
over in Beeville yesterday on her
way to San Antonio where she
wifi spend about one month vis-
iting relatives and friends. “Buz.”

Taffy for Grover.
Washington 1). ('. Oct. 25.—
President Cleveland came into the
city from Woodley this morning
at 11 o’clock. Tlie President is
very much gratified at the turn af-
fairs have taken in the Senate
though lie has believed all along
that the unconditional repeal bill
would pass. There have been times
of anxiety but never for a moment
has*the President waived in the
belief. It was learned at the White
House that the President would
have no suggestions to make as to
adjournment or recess after Con-
gress passes the repeal bill though
he was anxious to have the Chi-
nese bill extending the time in
which the Chinese can register
pass before the dissolution of Con-
gress.
It was the impression at the
White House that no message
would be sent in until the regular
session in December.
A Shocking Accident.
New Westminster B. C. Oct.
25.—A shocking accident occurred
at North Bend yesterday. Fire
broke out in the tent of a man
camped a short distance from the
station and a number of the vil-
lagers were attracted by the fire
among them being Mrs. Charles
Austin wife of a Canadian Pacific
yardmaster and other ladies. A box
of dynamite detonators the pre-
sence of which was unknown to
the spectators suddenly exploded
scattering the metal shells with
terrific force in every direction.
Half a dozen persons were struck.
The worst sufferer was Mrs. Aus-
tin who received not less than 11
of the shells in her head arms and
body. Three pierced her clothing
and penetrated the flesh some at
the deptli of an inch. Sheris in a
dying condition.
Washington Oct. 25.—Brosius
of Pennsylvania by request intro-
duced a bill to establish a gold cur-
rency on a basis of interchangeable
value. It contains 27 sections and
covers ten pages of closely type-
written paper and is one of the
many schemes proposed to solve
the financial question.
Mr. Robinson of Pennsylvania
has introduced a bill to abolish the
office of naval officer at all ports of
entry.
Generous Saloon Keepers.
Austin Tex. Oct. 25.—[Special]
—The saloon keepers here say they
will not avail themselves of the
entire privilege accorded them by
Judge Von Rosenberg last after-
noon in his decision declaring the
Sunday law null and void. That
all they have ever fought for was
to limit the Sunday closing from 9
to 4 during the day and they will
now be open Sundays with the
exception of the hours between 9
and 4. Smoot.
WashingtonOct. 25.—The com-
mittee on Banking and Currency
will probably report tomorrow on
the bill remitting the ten per cent
tax which it is proposed to levy
on clearing house certificates.
These certificates which were used
in the south were not handled as
they were in New York. In the
south they passed from hand to
hand and were made to take the
place of money.
Marine Day at Chicago.
Chicago Oct. 25.—This is Marine
Day at the Fair and the naval offi-
cers will have charge of the inter-
esting ceremonies. The Detroit
National Guard also celebrates its
24th anniversary here today.
New Bills Introduced.
The Committee to Report.
San Antonio Texas Wednesday October 25 1893
Late Washington News.
Washington Oct. 25.—Cami- I
nette of California has introduced |
a bill amending the act in aid of i
the California Midwinter exposi- '
tion so as to prohibit Chinese
laborers being brought in under its
provisions.
Washington Oct. 25.—A cable-
gram from Berlin printed this
morning states: “A dispatch to
the Nord Deutsche Zeiting from
Rio Janeiro says that the Ameri-
can naval commander has ex-
changed visits and salutes
with Admiral de Mellos
of the Insurgent fleet”
when shown this statement the of-
ficials of the Navy department
were not a little surprised and
were in considerable doubt as to it
authenticity as this government
lias not recognized Admiral De-
Mellos and his followers as insur-
gents.
Secretary Herbert said lie would
take steps to learn the truth in the
matter but until that was donq he
did not desire to express an opin-
ion. It is possible that the officers
of the American Naval force at Bio
de Janeiro have called unoffi-
cially upon Admiral DeMel-
los ’as this action would
not be considered improper
Washington Oct. 25.—Mr.
Sherman (Rep.) of Ohio from the
committee on foreign relations re-
ported the following House Joint
resolution. Resolved—that it is
the sense of congress that the ack-
nowledgments of the government
and the people of the United States
be tendered the various foreign
governments of the world that
have so generously and effectively
co-operated in the quadro-centen-
nial exhibition held in Chicago in
commemoration of the discovery
of America by Christopher Colum-
bus.
Resolved—That a certified copy
of the foregoing resolution be pre-
pared in suitable form by the sec-
retary of state of the I'nited States
and forwarded through the custo-
mary diplomatic channels to
the respective foreign governments.
Mr. Sherman asked for imme-
Yiiate consideration of the resolu-
tion as the exposition is about to
close. Tlie resolution was laid up-
on the table until 12:25 o’clock
when it was again taken up.
Mr. Hoar offered an amend-
ment as follows: That the
president of the United States
be requested to communicate
to eacli foreign government that
has participated in said exposition
the acknowledgment of Congress
for its contribution. The amend-
ment was agreed to and the joint
resolution was passed as amended.
Washington Oct. 25.—The con-
sideration of tlie bill to repeal the
purchasing clause of the Sherman
act was taken up and Mr. Stew-
art of Nevada who was en-
titled to the floor yielded to Mr.
Pugh of Alabama who proceeded
toaddress' the Senate against a
bill referring to the recent compro-
mise. Mr. Pugh said that had the
Democratic senators united
in the spirit of compro-
mise and concession and se-
lected an equal number of
Senators from those friendly to the
unconditional repeal and those
opposed to it and witli the full
knowledge of President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle.
Bought Satolli a Home.
Washington I). C. Oct. 25.—
The question of tlie Alegation
Home for Manager Satolli is now
definitely and absolutely settled
by formal transfer of the old home
of Senator Stephen A. Douglass
and the late Justice Bradly to the
papal legate. The transfer was
made yesterday. The price paid
was $35000.
Cotton Talk Today.
New Orleans Oct. 25.—Glenny
& Co. say: “Liverpool closed bare-
ly steady 2-64 under yesterday;
demand moderate. New York
stood at 1:30 seven points down.
New Orleans opened from 8 to 10
points down and remained steady
with but slight fluctuation.

ident has sent the following nomi-
nation to the Senate: Chas. L.

TATION ON GRAIN.

Grain Growers to Agitate.
Crookston Minn. Oct. 25.—.
meeting of the grain growers of tl
west is to be held here todav
devise ways and means for r
ing transportation charges
grain and to compel railroads
millers to do business on a basis
legitimate profit on actual capita
invested in railroads elevators and
mills as the average net profit
made on capital invested in farm
property.
The call is* a strong document
and ends up as follows: “We are
entitled to equal privileges with
all other classes in trade to fix the
value of our own property. We
deny that railroads elevators and
mill owners have the right to fix
taxes upon us without our consent.
We denv their right or that of
any other class of people to fix the
value of our property. We declare
that sales on Board of Trades are
not public bona fide market sales
because such sales are limited
to the members that gamble or
who are associated witli those who
do gamble to beat the producers
and who do beat the producers.
The evidence of value by such sales
are exparte and we believe that
such sales are generally conspira-
cies to defraud and therefore we
demand that Congress enact a law
for the I'nited States that shall de-
clare the non-delivery of grain sold
for future delivery on any Board
of Trade a penal offense and the
settlement by a buyer of grain sold
for future delivery on any Board
of Trade receiving any considera-
tion from seller refusing to deliver
the grain sold also a penal offense.
We also demand that the next
Legislature enact such a law for
the state of Minnesota. Weare
willing to donate two bushels of
wheat or its equivalent in cash
eacli of us to the war treasury
needed to carry out the purposes
of this declaration and suggest
that tlie donation of that value
shall entitle any fanner to good
standing in the Farmers’ army for
self-defence.

NUTS FOR HOGG
To Crack Furnished by the Treas-
urer’s Report.
Austin Tex. Oct. 24 1893.
Special Correspondence to the Light: I
If Governor Hogg would look for
one minute at the disbursement of
the state for the fiscal year ending
July one he would readily see ac-
cording to the report of the treas-
ury issued today that the cost at-
tendant upon a maintainance of
his pet measure the railroad com-
mission was but a trifle short of
the amount necessary to run the
University of Texas. The railroad
com mission we see cost according
to the Governor’s report $36342.29
while all that is placed against the
•nenditum of the university is
03 ' lich goes to show
railroad commission
”ily $761.06 less than the
ly. Yet the latter named
1 is of incalculable value
tate while the former is
1. short of a heavy and use-
less < Apense especially so since
its actions can stand for nothing
until the supreme court either de-
clares it O. K. or dead wrong. In
the latter case a special session of
the legislature will try and patch
it up into working order but even
then it will be of little benefit to
the state. Competition and that
alone can make freight notes and
a commission has never yet prov-
en effectual or beneficial. Taking
all things into consideration
it would look as though
it would be preferable to shut up
the railroad commission turn Papa
Reagan loose among the Populist
and consign the records of this
able sanctum sanitorium to the
lire. Its memory will in all prob-
ability rest in the minds of the
the taxpayers without any written
history. Smoot.
Alamo Wheelmen Entertained.
Fifteen members of the Alamo
Wheelmen enjoyed a run to Alamo
Heights last night where they had
intended to enjoy a moonlight pic-
nic. On their arrival at the Heights
they were met by Mr. Janies T.
Burnett who invited them into his
home and served an elegant sup-
per which the boys heartily en-
joyed. The remainder of the even-
ing was spent in social conversa-
tion and music.
A Flower Display.
The florists of San Antonio are
arranging for a floral display to be
exhibited about the 15th of No-
vember in a vacant store room.
Rev. G. Q. A. Rose is the originator
of the affair. A full account of tlie
event will be published in the
Light when arrangements are
completed.
A Life Saved.
Mr Chas. Lee of this city has
shown a Light man the model of
his automatic railroad car coupler
that has been tried upon the Sap
has been found practical and suc-
cessful and may be adopted. The
mere contact of one car witli an-
other effects the coupling and they
are instantly released by a lever
that is at the side of the car. The
cost will not materially exceed
that of the present dangerous sys-
tem its mechanism is strong sim-
ple durable not likely to get out
of order and the parts are inter-
changeable. Suchja system obvi-
ates the necessity for a railroad
man getting between the cars to
couple them and will prevent the
hundreds of deaths that are year-
ly attributable so this operation
alone.
