cere and members of the Light Guard, in-
cluding i x-Lientenant T. Ha<Hey Franklin,
paid tneir respects to the gallant visitors.

belknap rifles.
To-night the Belknap Rifles' team from
Washiigton, D. C., passed through the
cityenioute to San Antonio. They were
met at the Houston and Texas Central rail-
way depot by the officers aud members of
the Houston Light Guard, in fatiguo uni-
form. The Light Guard had Intended to
give the Belknaps a big bowl ot punch
at their armory, but the short time of train
stoppage would not permit them to extend
this courtesy. The members of the famous
company were very profuse in their cora-
plimei ts to the young soldiers of the west,
and hoped that they might soon see their
names head the list ol the drill teams of
the United States. After passing compli-
ments upon each other, the Belknap'a team
was pulled homeward. This company is
about three years old, aod is composed of
the most active and ambitious Sroung men
cf San Antonio. It is commanded bD Cap-
tain Green, a bright and promising young

excampsient notes.
The small notices gotten out by the m»n-
pf«-meiit seem to have met with groat favor
t mong our merchants, as about 25,000 have
Iten distributed among them in the last
few days. They have been sent broadcast
over the state, and will no doubt do much
gerd.
R S. Collins, general passenger agent of
the Houston, East and West Tex'is railway,
is working up a big excursion of parties
desiriBg to attend the drill fromShreveport
and points south along the line of his road.
The prospects are very encouraging for a
large crowd ot visitors from that line, and
in fact a good business will be done by all
the reads runniDg into Houston. The dif-
ferent railway lines are getting out adver-
tising mfitter for distribution, and are doing
their fell share toward making the encamp-
u fit a suc cess.
Excursion trains will be run between
Galveston ssd Houston to accommodate
not c-nly Galveston people coming to the
drill, but also visitors to Houston who de-
fise to take a run down to the Island city.
The interstate drill at Ualveston last year
was most libera'.iy patronized by Houston,
ard the people of Galveston will no doubt
avail themselves of our encampment to re-
turn the compliment.
Brigadier general O. T. Bedell, command-
ing the First brigade, who is a resident of
Hempstead, writes that he will certainly
be on hand, and his example will bs fol-
lowed by many others from his vicinity.
Colonel P. E. Pes.reson of the Second regi-
ment will take up his quarters with
the Pearescn Guard of Richmond, and
it is hoped that General H. B. Stoddard
of Bryau will also attend, which will com-
plete the list of generr.le, colonels and staff
of the Texas Volunteer Ouard.
It has been suggested that the different
companies attending should select spon-
gers from among the ladies, and so excel-
lent a suggestion ought to be carried out.
When the ladies are interested success is
r.sscred. They could assist the decoration
and other committees most effectually, and
a dinner to the soldiers, served by them on
the last day of Encampment week, would
he a great attraction.
Chairman Gibtrons of the decoration
committee would like to hear from respoa
Bible parties in regard to putting up the
decorations over the main entrance to taa
Fair groends, and also the dancing plat-
term.
Actirg Chairman J. M. Cotton requests
all mtmbers of tbe amusement committee
to reett him Monday afternoon at 30
o'clock sb&rp in th<* secretary's oSiee. This
is impoitant, and it is hoped every member
will arrange so as to be present.
THE DEATH roll.
John Carlson died last night. His fu-
Leral took place this afternoon at 2.30
o'clock trom 80 Travis street.
W. N. Grisamore, local freight agent of
the Missouii Pacific railway at Houston,
learned vesteiday of the sudden death of
his father. ^
DRUMMERS' TAX.
Sometime ago at Waco drummers selling
goods in the precincts of Texas mot for the
purpose of discussing the drummers' tax.
A resolution was adopted calling upon the
merchants of St. Louis aod other cities to
raise a sufficient sum of money to make a
test case of the drummers' tax in Texas be
fore the judiciary of the state. It was re-
solved that the secretary of the meeting, J.
K. Pace, issue a circular letter aud forward
it to businesses that had drummers in
Texas, asking them to donate
funds to defray expanses incident to
the prosecution of the test ca3e. Mr.
Pacc forwai ded these letters generally. 1 a
snswer to one of these letters Mr. Pace re-
ceived a note from I. R. Trask of the Trask
Fish company, St. Louis, to tbe effect that
he would at once raise for the prosecution
cf the case |500. Mr. Pace is in receipt o: a
telegram from Mr. Trask, sayine: "Go
ahead. Money ail subscribed. Confer with
Jodge Clarke of Waco at once. Keep me
fully posted." Mr. Trask is now in Hous-
ton, but his home is in Waco.

Struggled Goods Seized-Eerious Accidcnt to a
Young Lady—Kailway Bumors.
Laredo, Tex., June !.—Yesterday a quan-
tity of American textile goods, such as cal-
ico and other fabrics, were captured near
the Mexican National railroad crossing of
the Selado river and returned on the train.
It is said that several prominent merchants
on both sides of the river are interested in
this contraband operation.
A laige portion of the Rio Grande and
Pecos railway bridge, which was washed
cut last niaht by tbe big rain, was taken out
from the Rio Grande, opposite Laredo, to-
day by wrecking parties in New Laredo.
Miss Rosa Basavi met with quite a seri-
ous accident last evening. While taking a
lorseback ride with Lieutenant Ives a sud-
den jump of her horse threw her from the
saddle, and her foot hanging in the stirrup
the was dragged some distance by the
horte. Her attendant physician states this
afternoon that she is out of danger.
The official circular of President Raoul of
tie Mexican National railroad, advertising
for bids to grade the gap of 394 mile3 be-
tween Laredo and the City of Mexico, was
received here to day. The general impres-
sion is that Laredo will be in direct rail-
road communication with the City of Mex-
ico.
