SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS. FRIDAY, MARCH 5. 1886.
STRIKING CAR DRIVERS.
The Attempt to Run a Car Over the
Cross-Town Line.
Nkw York, March 4.—The “Cross-
Town” line wade another attempt this
afternoon to resume operations. At 1:30
p. ni. the police reserves were called to
the eastern terminus of the Grand street
line. Superintendent Murray and In
spector Steers were present and made
preparations for the battle. At noon
over GOO policemen were on the scene,
and when the reserves arrived fully 1200
were in line. They kept the street clear,
but on the north aide the strikers were
collected, and with thousands of the
lowest classes of men from the crowded
tenements of the narrow streets east of
the Bowery formed a threatening body
capable of auy form of outrage and riot.
The police patrolled the streets from
Bowery to East'Kiver. and kept the men
in motion, but such a great mass of
people could not be controlled altogeth
er. They surged along with seemingly
irresistible force. It was a scene of de
struction and a task of forcing a passage
seemed herculean. Standing in front of
the Grand street ferry house, as far as
the eye could see, were overturned horse
cars, carts, trucks and wagons of all
kinds.
At 2:50 a car started from the stables
and proceeded under an escort of 50 po
licemen. The line of march was formed,
headed by Superintendent Murray and
Inspector Steers. First came six pla
toons of police. Then followed a car
enclosed in a hollow square of police
numbering 100. The rear was closed by
six more platoons of police. The forces
started amid hooting, yelling and shouts
of derision from the mob. No obstacle
was met with until the car reached
Cannon street. There was a horse car
lying on its side. It was lifted from the
track by the policemen who formed the
advance guard of the column. There
after progress was slow. At Madison
street, the first stone was thrown and
struck the side of the car in which were
some minor officials ef the company and
a Sergeant of Police. All the way to the
Bowery the track was obstructed with
wrecks of street oars and trucks, but the
advance guard cleared them away.
At Bowery another stone crashed
through the car window. At East
Broadway a large stone was placed
beside the track unnoticed and
the car thrown off. This mischief was
greeted with a tempest of yells from the
thousands lining the streets. Oatbs
and hisses, calls, screams and wild cheer
ing made the street a perfect pande
monium. The car was lifted on the track
and proceeded. At Lu: low street
another window was smashed and rot
ten eggs were thrown. At Allan street
a blockade was met. Cars of the Secend
Avenue and other lines were placed in
all positions across tbe track. Stones
again flew and another car window was
broken. The obstructions were removed
and the car proceeded slowly on. At
Eldridge street more blackudes were
found. The crowd attacked the police
and a general tight took place in which
clubs were used and cars were driven
into tbe street. Grand street mer
chants closed their doors and put on
their iron abutters. At Grand street sta
tion of the Third Avenue elevated road
was an immense batricade of cars,
wagons and trucks. For blocks in every
direction <-ouid be seen long lines of cars
and trucks in inextricable confusion.
All travel was suspended. It was 2:45
p. m. before tbe track was cleared of tbe
many cars which bad been placed on
crossways of the street. From Mulbury
street to Centre the riot began again.
A stone thrown against the car struck
Sergeant McKver. The police lost all
patience and charged the mob furiously.
They clubbed right and left, and suc
ceeded in driving the rioters down the
side street. From there to Broadway
tbe battle waged with undiminished
fury. Many were clubbed and a num
ber of police struck with stones. Broad
way was reached, after a hard struggle,
at 3:05 p. m. Here fully 50,000 people
were gathered. Tbe spectators' hissing
and hooting and yelling were con
tinuous, and atones continued to drop
against the escort. At Wooster street a
pile of brick fell as tbe car was passing
and stopped it. This removed, another
barricade was met and removed amid
the hoots of the workmen. As the car
went towards North river, the factories
on either side poured out their thousands
of employes, who met the pollea
with execrations and reproaches. West
street was a vast barricade of coal
wagons, beer wagons and logs. At
Dexter street a load was dumped on the
truck.
When tbe end ofthe route was reached,
the men were allowed to reat 10 minutes
after their terrible march. They then
returned over tbe same route to the
stables. Very few obstacles were offered
to their progress. During tbe trip both
ways the car was allowed frequently to
oha'nge from one track to tbe other. The
strikers yelled and booted, but did not
obstruct the way to any extent until
Bowery was reached. There was an
other barricade, but it was soon removed
and then the way was clear to the sta
biea which were reached at 4:30 p. m.
The strikers and police left before 5
o'clock.
Tbe police flouriabed clubs, gave com
mands and spit threats alternately, but
Ie vain ; there was no hope, and tbe po
lice were powerless to act. While the
police were standing looking at tbe
acene, gangs of men rushed along ad
ding additional obstructions on the
track. At Gannon street a wagon was
turned upsido dew* on the rails. At
Loerlck street a car of the Forty-second
street line was toppled over on the
track. Six cars in all were turned
across the track, and the side streets
were blocked with wagons waiting their
turn. Two beer trucks had tbe wheels
broken off and fell across tbe tracks,
at a point on East Broadway a load of
coal was dumped on tbe track. At an
other point the switch plates were taken
away. Further on a pile of bricks and
building poles lay on tbe track. The
contest was practically overat this point
and orders were issued to start back to
the stable. Tbe strikers good naturedly
chaffed tbe policemen, but went about
work in a way that showed organization.
At Mangin street the strikers tore up
several curbstones ana placed them on
tbe track. Another attempt will be made
to start a car later this afternoon. The
Board of Police to-day received a letter
from tbe Railway Company asking for
police protection for their employe* and
property.
Theatrical Item.

The Pacific Statement.
New York, March 4.—The Southern
Pacific Company did not begin opera
tions until March 1, 1885. Its fiscal year
ended December 31,1885. and the follow
ing is the company's statement for 10
months; Gross earnings. $2T.'.1'73.*75;
operating expenses, $12,669,646; net
earnings. $13,304,229. Adding rental for
leased lines, $359,370, makes a total of
$13,720,160. Deducting from this amount
interest on bonded debt sinking fund
taxes and *ll other expenses and charges
$11,407,400. and construction of improve
ment* $523,280, leaves a net profit of
$1,894,066. The Pacific system of tbe
company contributed to the gross earn
ings above mentioned $17,122,617; to tbe
operating expenses $7,293,557, and to tbe
net earnings $9,829,060.
Intense Excitement.
SrRtXGFiKLD, Ohio, March 4.—Excite
ment in the labor situation is still in
tense. The proprietors of the East
Street Reaper Works claim that only 388
men are out, but the men themselves
clai ii that that 800 are out. There is
no violence. If no settlement can be
reached,.). B. Powderly, Master Work
man of the Knights of Labor, will be ap
pointed to act a* arbitrator- The dis
charged men have received many offer*
of he I[> from business men and others.
The men call on all workmen to stay
away from Springfield until the difficul
ty I* settled. The men are already talk
ing of boycotting and are in a great
state of excitement. Most of tbe men
discharged will be destitute in a short
time. The proprietors of the other fac
tories refase to discharge the Knights of
Labor men in their employ.
Indications ef Trouble.
Galveston, March4.—These are many
strong Indications to-night that the la
bor troubles on the Texas Pacific and
other lines in North Texas will be ex
tended to this end and other South
Texas points within tbe next 48 hours.
D. H. Black, a member of District Execu
tive Committee 78, Knights of Labor, ar
rived in the city this evening from Fort
Worth. He has been in secret confer
ence with tbe local assembly until mid
night. Other members of tbe District
Executive Committee will arrive to
morrow. It is thought that the local
Knights will seize tbeopportunity while
Texas railroads are paralyzed, to enforce
tbe Mallory boycott against tbe Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe road and Missou
ri Pacilio, both of which lines paid no at
tention to tbe order boycotting Mallory
freight. As the Santa Fe road handles
the bulk of tbe Mallory freight, it is
thought the first aggressive move will
be against that line. Local Knights
have made known no other grievance.
I’heir intentions are carefully concealed.
There is a general fear of impending
trouble.
Strikers Discouraged.
A Fort Worth special to tbe Express,
last night, says: The time given to the
strikers on the Texas and Pacific to re
turn to work or suffer discharge, ex
pired at 10o’clock this morning. None
of the men went back. New forces are
being organized in every department,
ana the places of nearly all tbe strikers
have been supplied. The officials had
numerous applications for work which
were rejected. Tbe freight office opened
to-day, and is receiving all shipments,
except live stock. Tbe strikers are dis
couraged, and think the movement has
been badly handled.
The state executive board of Knights
of Labor is here and will bold a meeting
to-nigbt to discuss means of assisting
tbe strikers. Indications are now that
an effort will me made to inaugurate a
general strike on the Gould lines, which
Is regarded as the only chance of suc
cess.
A committee of Knight* has furnished
the Daily Gazette with a statement of
the grievances for publication. It gives
as causes of the strike:
Repeated violation of the contract be
tween the Gould system and Knights of
Labor, made at St. Louis, March 5,
1885.
Discharge of Employe Hall at Mar
shall, alleging that tbe cause was preju
dice against tbe order.
' Employment of coolie and convict
labor by tbe Texas and Pacific, and
lastly, demanding an increase in wage*
in trackmen from $1.15 to sl.soper day.

Editor San Antonio Light
Big Foot Postofkick, Frio County,
Texas, February 27,1886.—Permit a citi
zen to communicate his views through
your paper on a subject which ought to
interest many. It does not take the wis
dom of a Solomon nor tbe eloquence of
Ciesar to notice and give utterance to
facta as they are and on affairs that are
drifting from bad to worse. It will take
honest and bold men, true to their dear
bought liberty, to themselves and to
their fellow-men and to the rising gen
eration. to put down the brake and
check the down grade (descend) and re
turn to former condition of this com
monwealth and improve tbe financial
condition of the Texas State Treaury.
Why shall ws need so much more more
in proportion to our now assessed value
of property and increase of population
to run ;our State Governments. Is there
■o way to diminish the expenses of
criminal proceedings in felony cases?
Is the grand jury system an expense
that could not be dispensed with or
modified. Should not terms In tbe peni
tentiary be extended and a reform school
established for young criminals and va
grants to learn trades a* well as needful
education, self-sustaining by proper
management? Virtues needs training:
It is not the work of one day nor the
capacity of one Individual to accomplish
such a reform.
There were heroes in every age and
patriots in every generation who
brought changes at any cost. In this
generation a Republican form of Gov
ernment Reform Is all that is needed.
Tbe muses, the tax-papers, have to urge
Reform. The people’s money ought to
be economically used, and they must
delegate honest, true and Intelligent
men to bring about Reform, through
proper Legislation, and amending the
constitution. Admit illiterate to public
schools regardless of age. Reform.

SAN ANTONIO.
An Old Texan Speaks ofthe Early His
tory of the State.
From tbe Clarksville Standard
Philadklitiia, Feb. 20, 1886.
Dear Standard—l find in your Table
column the following note and comment.
Tbe Light, of Sun Antonio. Is a hand
some sheet, and very truthfully says in
answer to the Waco Examlaer's claim
of priority for a city: "San Antonio was
the principal city of the Southwest, and
was known tbe wide world over before
tbe site of Houston had other inhabit
ants than the alligators and snakes of
buffalo bayou.”
To this you reply thus:
“This is certainly true to our knowl
edge. San Antonio was the only city of
Texas in 1836, neither Houston nor Gal
veston had any existence except waste
land. Houston had not even a name.”
Your statement to my knowledge is
correct. In 1836 Houston bad no ex
istence except waste land. After tbe
battle of San Jacinto had been fought
and won, and the fame of General
Houston, the Texan commander, was
spreading abroad; with the adroitness
peculiar io Northern men, a New Y'orker
purchased a league of land on which be
founded the city of Houston. Tbe
exact sum be paid for the land, at this
late day 1 fail to remember, but I am
confident it did not exceed $5OO. In
these days thia may be considered
a very small amount of money for
four square miles of land, but at that day
it was considered a fair price. He
founded tbe city of Houston on a magni
ficent scale. I'be seat of government
was temporarily located here, and in tbe
spaco of two or three years tbe solitary
grove skirting -Buffalo Bayou and the
wild grandeur of tbe prairie had given
place to a town, with several hundred
inhabitants.
1 was In Houston when it* inhabitants
were living and doing business in tents,
and shanties. With a man from tbe
shingle making region of the State of
New York, 1 went into tbe business of
manufacturing clap boards on White
Oak bayou. With an old yawl we trans
ported our merchandise to Houston,
which was then in great demand and
brought a high price, there being no
other roofing or weather-boarding ma
terial. At that time all the buildings in
Houston were constructed by setting
poles in tbe ground and siding them up
and roofing with clap-boards. The pros
perous business of manufacturing clap
boards however was of short continu
ance, as vessels from New Orleans com
menced arriving with cargoes of lumber
of all kinds and all manner of building
material, and soon "Othello's occupa
tion was gone.”
The San Antonio Light can justly
claim its city’s priority. Before the city
of Houston was thought of. San Antonio
was a city with a population of about
7000 or 8000. It Is truly the ancient
town of Texas. Spanish settlements
were made here as early as 1692. In 1838
I bad tbe pleasure of visiting those ven
erable piles, the Spasisb missions, where
nearly 200 years before the standard of
the crags was first planted in Texas.
There on the San Antonio River settle
ments were first made. The missions, to
my gaze, in 1838, presented a solemn and
gloomy grandeur. Tbe venerable piles
were monuments which told of by-gone
days. The entrance to the buildings
was through a magnificent arched gate
way which led into a spacious court, and
thence into a large arcbed-roofed apart
ment sufficiently commodious to accom
modate several hundred persons.
Among the most important of those
venerable monuments of past ages, the
Missions of Conception. San Jose, San
Juan and Elspado, were the most im
portant. None of them, however, were
at the time of my visit, occupied for tbe
purpose designed bv their pious foun
ders. My first visit to these first settle
ments of Texas excited emotions within
me which cannot now be described.
Everything that met the eye. spoke of a
by-gone race. A melancholy change
had taken place. Tbe plaintive notes of
Christian devotion which were once
chanted in them were heard no more,
silent all, tbe Christian instructor and
tbe savage warrior were sleeping tbe
sleep of death, to awake no more until
the nations of tbe earth are summoned
to their final accounts. There had tbe
pious Fathers of the Catholic church
gathered in the savage red men of the
forests and prairie* and taught them the
more acceptable way of worshiping the
Great Spirit.
San Antonio at that day presented in
its bouses a system of defence. The
houses generally built of stone and gen
erally but one story high, with flat roofs
and a parapet or strong wall above the
roof which was pierced for fire arms, as
well as the walls below. In the town
stood ihe celebrated fortress, tbe Alamo,
one of tbe Spanish Missions ; a building
which everything connected with was
interesting —a building which every
true-hearted American who gazes upon
it. will drop a tear to the memory of tho
180 who were slain within its wails.
The Light is correct in claiming
priority for San Antonio. It has an an
cient and heroic fame as compared with
all other towns in Texas. The heroes
of tbe Alamo are distinguished above all
others of modern times. The Alamo
distinguishes San Antonio above all
otoer towns for tbe acts of which it was
the theatre. G. Nelson Smith.

A Pisco of Information.
From a railroad man this morning a
Light reporter was informed that tbe
Southern Pacific did not come to any
arrangement regarding tbe strike, and
tbe matter was not settled with tbe
Morgan line until after the delegate had
been sent from here, but when he ar
rived at bis destination everything had
been satisfactorily settled. It was not
a Brotherhood affair, although members
ofthe order bad taken part in it on their
own responsibility, and contrary to tbe
laws of tbe Brotherhood.

It’s a mlgbtv slender policy to go far out
to sea,
In a boat w'at's rotten to de core, to
show how brave you be.
Too big a crop ob apples is a gwine to
bust de limb;
An’ de gal s lips aline tastes best w'en
de light is kinder dim.
