FURTHER TESTIMONY Elicited at the Inquest on the Body ot the Drowned Man. The Jury empaneled by Justice Craw ford to view the body of the dead man found at the South Flores street crossing of the San Pedro Creek yesterday morn ing, reconvened this morning at 10 o'clock, and heard testimony. The fol lowing was taken : John Bosshardt, saloon-keeper. 201 West Commerce slreet, testitieil that lie knew the deceased, Gottlieb Brandeil, native of Switzerland, Canton of Zurich; have known him about one and one-half years; I saw him Monday morning, -March 1, between 7 and So'clock; was at my saloon; said be bad been siCK for two weeks; I did not talk to him much; lie left soon afler. Antonio Esquivel testified that he first saw the body of deceased lying in the creek near 10 o'clock yesterday morning; be win dead; be had all bis clothes on except his coat and vest; his eoat was in the water above him, and bls vest a little below him; 1 did not help to take him out. but came up town and in formed Justice Crawford; when 1 saw the body, it was lytng on its back with nothing but the nose out of the water and hands clasped over breast. A man named Charles Pusch told me about seeing a drowned man lying in the water. Don’t know I lie de ceased. When I saw him my fat her and two other men were there. I live close by; heard no noises during the night. Don’t know how long the body had been in the water. A. A. Hamilton testified. My atten tion was first called to the body by Char lie Pusch, stating he saw a'man lying in the water and I immediately went over there with Jasper Pvtle and an other man, an acquaintance whose name I don’t know. 1 found the body lying in the water, about 18 inches at his shoulders, deeper at the body, over 24 feet deep, was lying face upward. I took hold of bim and found him perfect ly dead, and to all appearances had been so for several hours. His body was nearly nude. Pants partly taken off. shirt up to bis arms, and he had the np penraace of a man having made all preparations to go to bed; coat laid a few feet above him in the water and vest a rod or so below him in the water. Had a watch and purse of money, containing $3 30, and key and his hat were lying un der a tree at the edge of the bank, a lit tle north of him. We drew him out on the bank and examined him, and found no wounds or bruises except a slight abrasion over the left collar bone. Could hardly be called a abrasion, but did not look as if caused by violence After bearing the above witnesses the jury deliberated for some time, but were unable to arrive at any ether conclusion than that the man came to his death from drowning. Such was the verdict and the jury were then discharged. J. B. Behloradsky Arrested. Yes’erday morning Mr. J B. Beh loradsky, proprietor of the City Brewery, was arrested by Sheriff Lewis on a war rant charging that gentleman with em bezzlement, the extradition papers be ing issued by the Governor of Illinois and endorsed by Governor Ireland of Texas. The extradition agent, Mr. Babe, stated Hint it was alleged that Mr. Behloradsky was Secretary of the Polish Benevolent Association in Chicago, and in the year 1881 embezzled $1750 HO, the property of various members of the asso ciation, and Mr. Bnhe stated further that Bebloradsky's whereabouts was not known until a recent letter was re ceived at Chicago from George Burk hart, the man recently sentenced to 25 years’ imprisonment for the murder of bis wife. Mr. Pebloradsky asserted that the arrest was to collect a civil debt and that the amount was $3OO. The pro ceedings had been instituted at the in stance of the Bobemiau Building Asso ciation of which he was Secretary. Behloradsky was released fro u custody on a $2OOO bond. A. Scholz being bls his surety, pending the hearing of an application for a writ of habeas corpus which was set for this morning, but con tinned until to-morrow. A Female Burglar This morning early Captain Tom Hughes arrested two persons for bur glary; they were both in masculine at tire. but one of them was found to be a female dressed iq boy's clothes. These two individuals have been shadowed for some time past by Captain Hughes and Officers Coy and Martin as suspicious characters, and on Sunday night they were watched in an unsuccessful at tempt to burglarize a store on Austin street owned by A. Groome. Last night the officers saw them break into the store of A. Ruse, also on Austin street, and the arrests were then made. The woman's name is Clara Nelson, and she was formerly an inmate of the St. Louis House; the man’s name is William Scott, who was an employee of the Southern Hotel some time back. The enterprising pair now languish in jail. General Rehearsal. There will be a general rehearsal of the participants in the approaching Casino carnival to-night at Casino Hall, as per notice elsewhere in these columns. The throne for Prince Carnival is now being erected by the carpenters. A full rehearsal of the lancers and Hussars was held last night. Strike Ended. All the strikers have resumed work at Del Rio and San Antonio, and ail the freight which has been standing here during the progress of the brakemen’s strike, 125 cars, left here yesterday west ward. The basis of the settlement is $67.50 per month, 9000 miles to consti tute a month. 2 cents per mile for over work, and 25 cents per hour tor loading, etc. At New Braunfels. William Koehler, a member of the United States Eight Cavalry Band, com mitted suicide yesterday at New Braun fels by shooting himself twice in the temple with a 44-calibre bull-dog pistol. Koehler left San Antonio yesterday morning for New Braunfels, and he had made vague threats about killing him self before going, but no attention was paid to it.

Washington, March 2.—Secretary Manning has answered the resolution of the House calling for a statement of the moneys seized at New Orleans by Gen erals Butler and Bunks between the dates of May 1, 1862, and May 1.1565, The Sec retary says that General Butler seized and accounted for $262,534 taken from the New Orleans banks, while General Banks seized $47,889 in cash. Has Done His Best. Washingrox, March 2. The Secretary of the I'reasury to day, sent the Speaker of the House an answer of tho Bland resolution, calling for information In re gard to the past and future policy of the Treasury Department on the silver ques tion. It is a document of forty pages, and contains a vast amount of corre spondence and statistical Information. In it the Secretary declares that he Das used his utmost efforts to get silver into circulation. He lias already given his opinion as to Ilie propriety ofexpressing his views concerning the past and future policy of the department upon the sub ject. Message on the Chinese Question Washington, March 2 —The president to-day sent a message to the Senate on the Chinese question. He says the con dition of the Chinese In the Western States and Territories is fur from being satisfactory. All the power of the gov ment should be exerted to maintain good faith towards China in the treat ment of these men, and the inflexible sternness of law in bringing wrongdoers to justice should be Insisted upon. Every eftort has been made by the gov ernment to prevent vjolenr outbreaks, and the president says he is prepared to give earnest consideration to any fur ther remedial measures, within treaty limits, which the wisdom of congress may desire. The Pope’s Address. Komi, March 2.—Pope Leo XIII. cele brated the 75th anniversary of his birth to day and the Bib anniversary of his coronation, which falls to morrow, by an address to tne members of the sacred college. In thia Uis Holiness eulogized the union existing among the cardinals, and urged concord among Catholics against those seeking to corrupt and weaken the authority of the Church. He deplored the oppressed condition of the Holy See as unworthy of the head of the < hurch and as incompatible with bis independence. His Holiness spoke with much severity concerning the attempt to connect the Vatican with the crime of furnishing the foreign enemies of Italy with secret information about its mili tary defense, as was done recently in the case of a man on trial on the charge of having sold such information to a foreign power. During his trial the prosecution read wbat purported to be a letter from Vienna, in which the writer, whose name was withheld, imputed the present act to inspiration from the Vatican, which was accused of having a purpose to undermine and destroy the present kingdom of Italy. His Holiness re pelled this imputation with indignation and condemned the impunity with which vulgar malignity of this kind line been employed against the Vatican. The Stoke. Four Woirrn, March 2.—A special to the Express says: The one subject of conversation among all classes is the strike. The yards of the Missouri Paci fic and Texas Pacific arc deserted, with the exception of two or Hires aien, who, however, find their occupations gone. Yardmaster July succeeded in getting out two through freight trains to-day, and a third train, made up chiefly of empty cars. The strikers offered no op position to this move. When the order came to the Knights of Labor in Assembly No. 101 to "go out,” they went at one. and as soon ns possible 'gave notice to the telegraph operators to the number of 10, who are at work in the railway office, that all Knights engaged in railroad work were expected to leave their work, whereupon the Manager and all the operators, but one, closed their keys and walked out. The operators say they have no griev ance of their own at this time, but that the allegiance due by them to the order left them no other course but to stand by their brethren. A general impression was that while freight traffic might be blocked, passenger trains would continue to go through, and the express companies would be able to till the urgent necessities of mer chants for retail articles, but when it is known that the section men are in the strike and are out to a man, and the further fact is considered that the con stant rains for the past few days have put the track and road-bed in bad con dition in many places, it will be seen that Jit will soon be hazardous to at tempt to run passenger trains. Under the existing state of affairs the railroad officials receive no freight. Superintendent Littlefield arrived here to-night from Marshall with live tele graph operators, to take the places of the men who are out. One through freight train was permitted to go south on the Missouri Pacific to-night. Gov ernor Brown, one of the receivers, has sent word here that the men must go back to work Thursday, or all would be discharged. At Marshall and Big Springs, ends of divisions, the men are all out. At other points they have not yet quit work. The railroad officials know nothing of the cause of the trouble, and the Knights will not talk. THE MARKETS. Keported expressly for the Light, by 8. 8.

BUSINESS MEN Take Hold of the Proposed Y. M. C. A. $7OOO Subscribed. By the invitation of Mr. W. J. B. Pat terson, of this city, some 20 of our promi nent business men, capitalists and bank ers, met Mr. Moody, the eminent Evan gelist at n social lunch given yesterday afternoon at the Maverick Hotel. More were Invited, but owing to the incle mency of the weather and the short no tice given, doubtless prevented them from appearing. The object of the re ception was to meet Mr. Moody social ly. he beluga business man, and that the business men might meet ami talk with him as such. In talking of the business interests of the city Mr. Moody said be thought that as the moral, physical and intellectual wel fare of the young men were promoted, the business interests of the city were directly benetitted. His experience was that the best agency to provide this was a Young Men’s Christian Association, w here, under its auspices, a gymnasium, reading room, library, parlor, baths and meeting room could all lie combined, the general work being under the direc tion of a trained secretary. The best associations in the United States found it important to own their own buildings and premises. He there fore urged the gentleman present to lake bold upon this enterprise. Many of the gentlemen present were unprepared to name any definite amount w blob they could subscribe towards this object, as the matter was entirely new to them, but all heartily endorsed the pro ject and in 10 minutes the following amounts were raised: W. J. B. Patterson $ 1.000 S. D. Scudder 500 J. 8. Thornton. 1,000 Lockwood A Kampmann 1,000 Albert Maverick 500 Colonel 11. B. Andrews 500 Colonel F. P. Hord 500 G. Maverick, [conditionally] 1,000 J. M. Campbell, [probably] 500 Before rising from lunch the gentle men appointed Mr. Patterson as < hair man of the building fund, and pledged their hearty co-operation to push the matter at once. A meeting to organize the association and enroll members will be held in the Paine M. E. Church to night nt 7:30 o’clock. All are invited. Brake Him Up Editor San Antonio Light School was just out, and a bright little girl entered the car. Just as she was about to hand her fare to the conductor, it fell from her band and dropped be tween the cracks on the floor. The con ductor returned to bis post and I hasten ed to recover her lost nickel for her and handed the same to the conductor. “Haven’t you a school children's book my little girl,” I asked. "No,” she replied, sharply. "Most school children do,” 1 said. “ Well, 1 don’t have to,” and she put on a frown that would have done credit to a much older person than she, 1 said no more. This little girl had silenced me, crossing my leg, I meditated. Per haps I did wrong in addressing this little stranger. My boldness was cer tainly not very gentlemanly on my part, and 1 only received in return what 1 so richly deserved. I saw an outlet of es cape in this manner. She certainly could have silenced me in a more gentle and ladylike manner. But could 1 blame this little child? No. Who, then, the parents or ber teachers? Both. I’his child’s time Is divided—one part to the teacher, the other with ber parents. Perhaps she has been deprived of the knowledge of etiquette, by her parents, and her teacher has failed to impress upon her little mind the importance of knowing how to conduct ourself in a courteous manner. Be this as it may, there is one thing that cannot be denied, that while our teach ers give to our children a good educa tion, that they overlook that great im portant lesson etiquette. I not only say this from my own experience, but I have heard it expressed bj’ several of the elder pupils. This is not an attack upon tbe teach ers, nor do 1 offer it as a suggestion to my peers, but 1 do say that a goodly number of the children that attend school dally, could be Improved with a little etiquette thrown in with the georgraphy. grammar, etc. District Court.
