CONVINCING EVIDENCE.
Probably One of the Crooks of the
Praeger Burglary.
Detective Hughes yesterday af-
ternoon arrested a tallwell dressed
young man who gave the name of
A. M. Duff on the«outheast corner
of Military plaza and is now hold-
ing him as a suspicious character
in the county jail to gather further
testimony. He sold a new pocket
knife worth about $1.25 for 15
cents to a farmer named J.S. Ross-
man of Earl Postoffice Bexar
county who was on the plaza mar-
ket with a load ef melons. A man
who saw the trade informed the
officer who followed and made the
arrest of Duff. When searched
another new pocket knife was
found in his pockets. Both knives
have been held as evidence against
him and have been identified by
Mr. Praeger as some of the prop-
erty principally pocket knives
stolen a few nights ago by
burglars from his hardware store.
More developments are looked for.
Bitten and Slashed.
O. C. Guessaz was bitten on his
leg yesterday afternoon bj T Monroe
Pratt’s little dog under peculiar
circumstances. Guessaz and Clem
Roliinson were skylarking play-
fully and ran into Pratt’s saloon.
The dog hung on to Guess az’s leg
and could not be shaken off until
Mr. Guessaz was compelled to pull
out his pocket knife and slash
away at the dog’s jaws head and
ears. When he let go and things
quieted Mr. Guessaz found he was
bitten painfully his pantaloons
were torn and the dog was badly
cut. The crowd that rushed in
were disappointed at not seeing the
supposed fight and mutual under-
standing between the owner of the
dog and the owner of the knife re-
sulted.
The dog has since had to have
one of its ear amputated by a
veterinary surgeon.
By Passenger and Freight.
Mr. T. B. Johnson manager of
the Daily Light has returned
from the Texas Press convention
at Fort Worth. His big cane will
come by freight in a day or two if
the Gould system is not tied up by
the strike.
It Was Over Land.
Tom Kinney the murderer of
Robert Scanlon says the trouble
arose over a certain piece of land
in the McCullough tract near Elm
creek several miles south of San
Antonio that he says Scanlon
tried to steal.
Call for Better Books.
The librarian of the public
library in Chicago has noticed that
since the fair there has been a sur-
prising increase in the demand
for books of art architecture and
language. The demand for such
books he estimates is 200 per cent
larger than last year. The two
classes of books for which there
has been the largest call have been
those on electricity and everything
relating to Italy.

A Woman’s Building.
New York Evening Post.
The Woman’s Educational and
Industrial union of Buffalo which
will move next fall into a hand-
some new building of its own al-
ready has a membership of 1000
with as many more waiting to be-
come members as soon as the home
of the society is completed. The
union is non-sectarian and to this
feature are attributed its growth
and the prosperity that has attend-
ed it. The kindergarten where
children are taught to sew sweep
cook make beds and do many oth-
er things that will make their
homes happier is the largest in
the world. The committee that
finds its work in securing justice
to working women finds that a
large proportion of complaints
come from dressmakers who have
to wait a most unreasonable time
for the payment of their bills.

Not an Italian But a Switzer—Per-
ier is an Aristocratic
Bourgeoise.
Paris June 29.—Cesare Giovan-
ni Santo the cruel murderer of the
late President Carnot; the man
who when the president was hold-
ing out his hand of friendship to
him as he broke the lines and
stepped on the carriage stabbed
him to his death will have his
trial July 23. The way he was en-
abled to reach the president
through the cordon of police so
easily was because the president
had given orders that any one who
desired to communicate with him
while on the way from the Chamber
of Commerce to the theatre should
be allowed to do so.
When President Carnot was dy-
ing he signified that he wanted a
pen. One was given him but lie
was unable to write.
The weapon used by Santo was
a triangular bladed stiletto.
Italian authorities state that he
is not an Italian but comes from
Ticino the southern-most canton
of Switzerland where Italian is
spoken. His sister says he has
been madly devoted to Anarchist
teachings since he was lf> years
of age. She and his mother have
pleaded with him in vain to aban-
don such ideas and the company
of those who teach them and not-
withstanding the teachings of the
police who have frequently
warned him the advice
has not been heeded. He
was afterward sent to
prison for five years for distribut-
ing Anarchist literature but con-
trived to escape.
M. Cassimer Perier the new
president is regarded by the con-
servatives as a dangerous man just
now because he is repugnant to the
industrial working classes and re-
garded by them as inimical to their
interests.
He is the man for the wealthy
bourgeoise and aristocratic society.
He is wise in his own conceit and
would be called in America a whig.
The responsibilities of the presi-
dency may cure this.
Not Quiet in Chicago.
Chicago 111. June 29.—A1l su-
burban trains over lines entering
the Union depot came in this
morning substantially on time.
These included the Burlington
Alton and Pennsylvania systems.
It is reported that Vice-President
Howard of the American Railway
union has gone to St. Louis to take
charge of the strike there. It is al-
so stated at the headquarters of the
American Railw’ay union that a
general strike has been ordered in
Milwaukee and St. Paul. Em-
ployes of packing houses were re-
ported all at work today but the
Switchmens’ union stock yards
and Transit company were report-
ed as having struck. This if
true would lead to serious compli-
cations in general work yards.
The rumor that the Milwaukee
and St. Paul has decided to aban-
don the sleepers is denied. About
one hundred men engaged in Bal-
timore and Philadelphia to take
the place of the strikers are ex-
pected to reach Chicago today. On
arrival the men will be taken eare
of by the general manager of the
association bureau and assigned
as needed to such roads as may
call for them.
Switchmen Join the Strike.
St. Louis June 29.—The refusal
of the Missouri Pacific’s boss
switchman John Lally to handle
Pullman cars will result in a com-
plete tie-up of the Missouri Pacific
and Iron Mountain road and in-
deed the entire Gould Southwest-
ern system unless Lally is rein-
stated. Last night the switching
crew struck immediately. The
day force struck also and this
morning but two switch engines
are at work and these are likely to
be stopped any moment. The facts
were wired to Mr. Debs and he
was officially requested to order
the entire Gould southwestern sys-
tem to be tied up unless Lally
should be reinstated. Keern states
as a result of this there is not the
slightest doubt but that all rail-
roads controlled by the Goulds
will be dead as far as turning of
wheels is concerned here by tomor-
row morning.
The Trouble at Louisville.
Louisville Ky. June 29.—
There has been no trouble experi-
enced here as yet on account of the
strike except on the Monon. The
Chicago train today on that road
was four hours late.
WHO SANTO IS.
UNCLE SAM TOUCHED.
Responds With the Usual Vigor
Promptitude and Severity.
San Francisco June 29.—The
Southern Pacific company has no-
tified United States District At-
torney Carter that owing to the
Pullman boycott it was unable to
send out the United States mail.
Carter telegraphed to Attorney
General Olney and in reply the
answer came:
“Enforce the laws prohibiting
obstruction of and delay of United
mails. Cause arrest and institute
proceedings wherever the laws are
violated.”
Shortly afterwards Attorney
Carter sent a second dispatch to
Washington asking whether the
attorney general’s instructions ap-
plied to mail car only or to mail
cars as regularly made up. The
answer to this dispatch was:
“Your instructions cover mail
trains as regularly made up and
of all descriptions.”
Southern Pacific Strike Ordered.
Los Angeles Cal. J une 29.—The
Santa Fe employes refuse to handle
Pullmans and the road refuses to
move a wheel without them. The
attitude of the federal government
as understood here puts a sensa-
tional aspect upon the case as
according to the United States
District Attorney Dennis’ instruc-
tions strikers will be arrested and
prosecuted as conspirators under
direction from Attorney General
Olney unless they go to work at
once. It is thought the men will
resist arrest if attempted. Be-
cause of this the union has decided
to change its position.
At a meeting of railroad men
last night a general strike on the
Southern Pacific system was or-
dered by the Union. All opera-
tives of this great corporation
will go out so that not even coal
trains will be moved.
It is also learned that all Santa
Fe telegraph operators and station
agents will quit.
Preparing for More Trouble.
St. Louis June 29.—The Pull-
man boycott is still in effect here.
The outgoing morning trains were
made up and allowed to leave as
usual. The next move of the boy-
cotters will be made under orders
of Strike Director Elliott of the
American Railway union. He has
been sent here from Chicago with
instructions from the general board
to involve all railway systems in
St. Louis in the tie-up similar to
that now prevailing in Chicago.
As soon as Director Elliott has set
the ball rolling either President
Debs or Vice-President Howard
will take personal charge leaving
Elliott for business elsewhere.
The Boycotters at Work.
New York June 29.—Dispatches
to the Associated Press up to noon
from New England Pennsylvania
Eastern New York and New Jer-
sey show as yet that the railroads
in these localities have not been
affected by the American Railway
union boycott on Pullman cars.
It is reported however that agents
of the American Railway union
are working in Jersey City foment-
ing trouble.
Denver Not Yet Isolated
Denver June 29.—0 n all the
railroads entering this city except
the Santa Fe regular trains were
sent out this morning without
trouble. The employes of the Den-
ver and Rio Grande and the Union
Pacific have not yet refused to
handle Pullmans. The matter will
be considered at a meeting tonight.
Col. Parsons Shot.
Washington June 29.—A dis-
patch states that Col. H. G. Par-
sons owner of the natural bridge
of Virginia was shot and died at
Clifton Forge today. The shoot-
ing was done by a conductor
named Goodwin whom Col. Par-
sons had reported for neglect of
duty.
Extending Old Appropriations.
Washington D. C. June 29.—
The Senate by a unanimous consent
adopted a joint resolution extend-
ing appropriations of the present
year until new appropriation bills
are passed. This was the resolu-
tion to which|Hoar objected yester-
day.
Nothing Serious.
Chicago June 29.—Everything
was reported in its normal condi-
tion today at the Union stock
yards. 4 There was some friction
with the switchmen but nothing
of a serious nature.
Price; $5 a Year.
TIED UP TIGHT
On the Southern Pacific at San
Francisco.
San Francisco June 29.—8 y
order of President Debs of the
American Railway uniona general
strike is in effect on the Southern
’acific and the entire system is
jaralyzed today. Even the South-
ern Pacific ferry service across San
Francisco bay is badly crip-
pled. Suburban trains are not
running. Many people living
in more remote suburbs absolutely
cannot reach the city. There is no
doubt the officials of the Southern
Pacific are amazed at the remark-
able strength of the American
Railway union. General Manager
Towne however declares the com-
pany will not recede from the
stand taken by President Hunting-
ton.
The strike has not yet extended
to the Atlantic system which be-
gins at El Paso Texas but it is
thought this system will also be
tied up by tomorrow.
In Ohio and Kentucky.
Cincinnati June 29 noon.—
Fully five thousand men are out
here today. Switchmen and other
yard men struck this morning.
At 10 o’clock they were joined by
the men in the yards at Ludlow
Covington and Newport across the
river. No attempts were made to
make up or move freights. The
superintendent and office men are
making up passenger trains that
go out.
Notice has been given bytheCin-
cinnati Hamilton and Dazlin
Queen and Crescent and Balti-
more and Ohio that they will put
in new men this evening if the old
ones continue out. The Kentucky
Central and Big Four men were
reluctant to quit as they have no
grievance but the order today in-
cluded all.
Business Suspended.
Jackson Tenn. June 29.—Busi-
ness on the Illinois Central and
Mobile and Ohio railroads is
practically suspended here on ac-
count of the strike at Cairo and
other points north. Locai freight
and passenger trains run north to-
day as far as Cairo. Crews from
Water Valley Miss. were sent
home today.
May Be All Right.

tanooga and St. Louis railways are

pected here or at any point in
