Matrimonial Troubles Induce Mrs. George fllcaaon to Tnke the I,amlnnum Itoute. Anolhir case of attempted suicide was re ported on Saturday afternoon. The victim of the suicidal mania In this Instance wis Mrs. George Glcason, wife of the City Pound master, and Ihe means by which she tried to quit this world of t'ouble was laudanum. The powerful narcotic aouti took effect, and she was found in an unconscious condition by her son, who sought his father at the police headquirtcrs. Mr. Glcason was not there, and none knew where to find him, whereon he told his trouble to the police, and medical at tention was at once secured. The usual anti dotes were administered, and Mrs. Glcason Is now In a fair way to recovery. When Inter rogated, Officer Glcason said that his wife was despondent, owing to not receiving an ex pected remittance. Subsequently he admitted that It arose from matrimonial difficulties, for which he was responsible. ItiMlucril Itntes for the Volkafcat.

Asked to lteconslilcr. The assessment and taxation of the reli gious schools of a purely beneficiary character Is unpopular, as it is considered that the boarding element Is a necessary adjunct of the system, and the County Commissioners' will be asked to reconsider the question at an early date. It will be remembered that the tax was only Imposed by the casting vote of the County Judge, who acted under his belief that the said schools were taxable. A Curious Nest. This morning a Licht reporter was shown In the saloon of Mr. Zinsmeycr, a curiously wrought bird nest. Mr. Zinsmeycr Irorght the nest from D'hanis, 50 miles west of this city, on the El Paso road. It was woven In with pieces of paper and various other bits of things, but the most curious fact about It is Ihe weaving in of an unused three cent stamp. There it is, wedged in with straw, and bound up in a most scientific way. The nest is cer tainly a great curiosity and can't be bought for any price. Lund Frauds. Mr. A. Wadg)mar, of Carrizo Springs, com plains that a fraudulent power of attorney is extant in favor of a San Antonian who claims to have authority to buy, sell, rent, or bargain in his name for land in McMullen and Atas cosa. Mr. Wadgymar says he owns no land there, and never gave the power of attorney. This fraud is one of the many unearthed by Judge Hall, one ol the commissioners for investigating land titles, and further develop ments may be expected. Ilullnlg's Enterprise.

Mr. Murphy, in this building, will Introduce a new feature, viz. terra cotta decoration. righting lleaux. William Gerson and Jake dimmer, are well known about the city as ladies men, but they have rather two much sense to be dudes. On Saturday they had a dispute on the merits of a local belle and proceeded to have satisfac tion. The weapons were not .tords nor pis tols, nor even sticks, but simply those with which nature has endowed them. The satis faction they got was that of being disfigured, and presenting a sad exhibition. Gentlemen, shake hands and be friends. You are excel lent as ladies men, but jou are not much on the fight. A l'lcnlc. A pleasant and enjoyable picnic was given yesterday by Messrs. Harry Keille, J. W. Cuff and other gentlemen. The party started about 7 o'clock In the morning, some In a bus and others in buggies. All arrived at the Iirst Mission in high spirits. Dancing, fish ing and other amusements were heartily joined In by the merry crowd, and everybody de clared it was a very delightful reunion. Among the ladles present were: Mrs. Feille, Mrs. Saran, Miss Sarin, Misses Mary and Johanna Rlchter, Miss Lena Wenz, Miss Lipps and many more. They haw a Hear. Dr. Mills, of I'leasanton, and his fricod Charley Kemper, recently visited San An tonio, and according to the I'leasanton Moni tor, report having seen a black bear about 13 miles north of town, while en route to this city. The Monitor is apparently sceptical, for It says: "This Is too delicate a matter to handle at length, therefore we refer the sceptic to the parties named." The whisky of San Antonio is very powerful, and often forces visitors to see "snakes," but this is the only record of recent years where visitors have seen a bear, and the Light therefore chronicles it for the benefit of the historians of the future. Singers to the 1'ront. A large number of singers of all the various nationalities represented In the city, except me uitnesc, were present In bcholz's hall on Saturday evening, in response to an invita tion of the committee and Professor Katzen berger, to arrange to take part in the musical portion of the Volksfest. The best amateur talent was present, and the way in which the first rehearsal was passed, augured well for the success of the musical part of the programme. The rehearsals are under the direction of Professor Kalzenberger, chairman of Ihe musical committee, and under his able dlrec tion much good will certainly be done. Ninety two singers took part in the rehearsal on Sat urday, and more will join at the next rehearsal on Tuesday evening. MESQU1TU BLOCK PAVEMENT. Walter Soott, Contractor and Manufacturer.
