ACCOMMODATING TO THE PUBLIC.
It is not generally known, but a fact neverthe-
less, that were it not for The News specvil train
operating between Galveston and llou :ton, de-
parting at 3.45 a. m., mail matter for points on
the Texas and New Orleans railway and eastern
points, for the Houston and Texan Central rail-
way, the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio
railway and for the Houston East and West Texas
railway, as well as passengers for the same routes,
would of necessity fail to connect at Houston, ejf
cept by leaving on the night trains.
The morning International and Great Northern
Houston train does not arrive at destinationuntil
10.40 a. m., and the Gulf, Colorado and Sarila Fe
morning tram is scheduled to arrive in Houston
at ffo a. m. Thus the Houston and Texas Central
no, thbound, leaving Houston at 8 a.m., the Gal-
veston, Harrisburg and San Antonio west-
bound at 7.02 a. w., the Texan and New
Orleans ecistbound at 5.50 a. m., and the
Houston East and West Texas at 8.30 a. m., de-
part prior to the arrival of the regular trains
from Galveston, and connection can only be made
therewith by utilizing Tnii News special which
arrives at the Grand Central depot in Houston at
6.35 a. m.
Therefore, due to the enterprise of The News,
mail matter for points on the lines enumerated,
deposited in the Galveston postojffice after 7.45 p.
m., is dispatched by The News special and
reaches destination twelve hours earlier than were
this train not in operation. Furthermore, pas-
sengers wishing to go to Beaumont, Orange, Hemp-
stead, Navasota, Bryan, Eagle Lake, Columbus,
or other points contiguous to Galveston on the
railways specified, by utilizing The NEWS«j)«ciaJ
can transact their business and return home the
same day, otherwise they would necessarily be
absent from home a night and a day.

A MA TTEli FOIl JUDICIAL INVESTI-
GATION,
An order of Justice Jackson continuing and
mollifying a previousordor of the lalo Justice
Lamar, in tliecu*o of Casey et al. vs. the Hous-
ton and Texas Central Hallway company, was
lilcd with the clerk of tlio United States cir-
cuit court at Galveston on the 13th instant,
The modification purports that "this order
shall not operate to stay proceedings against
Charles Dillingham, thorocelvor of said Hous-
ton and Texas Central Railway company, for
an accounting of his reeoivership, nor as a
limitation upon the power of said circuit
courts to substitute another receivor in the
place ana stead of tho Raid Charles Dilling-
ham/' This prompt and considerate act of
Justice Jackson is an incidental but
effective exposuro of tho violent weak-
ness of the thoory upon which Governor
Hogg proceeded in his rocont spectacular out-
burst against the federal judiciary. The gov-
ernor assumed that abuses in federal receiver-
ships, such us pointed to in tho ox parte atatc-
hopo montsof Mr. Nallo, are utterly beyond the
of any corrective action through tho federal
courts. Ho assumes tho existence of a virtual
conspiracy of circuit judges and avaricious
receivers for tho practice of blackmail and
extortion. At that very moment tho initiative
to a'judicial investigation of tho complaints
against Receiver Dillingham had been taken.
Tho stay order of Justice Lamar had inad-
vcrtontly susponded tho investigation and con-
tinued tho receivership as it was. Tho sick
noss and doath of tho same justico operated to
prolong tho delay. But as soon as tho affair
comes to tho attention of his successor, Justico
Jackson, the modifying order is issued and
tho way is distinctly made clear for
proceedings against tl|o receiver at tho hands
of Circuit Judge McCormlck, to whom tho
Nalle charges have boon referred. Such a ju-
dicial investigation as the occasion calls lor is
impending, and it is not to be doubted that
such finding and such disposition will follow
as justice according to facts shall demand.
Meanwhile it is woll to consider that the
Nalle charges, if true, impiy no such robbery
of the producer and no such outrage upon tho
state ns the governor would have it believed
that they indicate. The charges relate to cost
of compressing, which is not done on account
of tho producers but on account of specula-
tors and foroign spinners. Tho govornor ex-
patiates on tho wasted and hopoless condition
of stockholders of a company under reeoiv-
ership management, yot ho proposes that
(they shall forfeit their charter and be
left without even tho shadow of a depleted
corporate estate as a penalty for tho acts of
authorities and agencies over which they
havo no earthly control. The injustice of tho
idoa is only equaled by its absurdity. It is on
a par with the preposterousness of the uncon-
stitutional procedure which ho urges for the
prosecution of federal ofllcials by state
authority. But thero i3 method doubtless
even in the madness of 6uch absurdities.
These agitations and invoctivesjngainst the
judiciary, cunningly calculated to bring it
into odium if not into contempt, aro all log-
ically in lino with the natural disliko of com-
munism for stability of rights in privato prop-
erty and with its instinctive jealousy of tho
great conservativo bulwark of such rights, an
independent and impregnable judiciary.
It should never become necessary to break
ono law in order to enforce another, yet this
is done every time a state imprisons a citizen
for debt. An occupation tax is merely a
debt.
i i
ADMINISTRATION IN DETAIL.
There has been a statement current that
Mr. Bissell said no editors need apply for
office, but since that another report gives
President Cleveland's denial that such was
a part of his plan. On briof reflection it will
appear that tho matter comes very near to the
same thing either way owing to another rule
which is to characterize ollice holding. The
incumbent has to bo out of other business so
that he can givo his full time and attention to
tho duties of his office. This being tho case ho
can not bo an editor or anything else which
requires a good share of attention and ac-
tivity whilo holding an office. This is well for
the start. As the reorganized public service
gets into working order it is to bo looked for
that inspection and control will be adequate to
keep up to the standard implied in the rule
for appointments. Iu almobt every office not
perfectly managed thero are poon occasions
for complaint by the public as to the charac-
ter of service. Then it is for the responsible
head of the ofllco, by his replies to inquiries
properly put, to show that he is familiar with
the working of the olfico and is actually in
charge. Thero may be a lack of appropria-
tion, and in consequence scant help. If so ho
will be found at work with his coat off doing
the best ho can. There may be inexperienced
office assistance. If so it will not bo because
ho has caused tho sweeping out of efficient
help for fellow partisans to get places instead
of tho retiring clerks or he will be far from a
truo aid to President Cleveland in the presi-
dent's loyal and earnest desiro to conduct an
administration in tho interest of tho public
welfare. Tho manner and motive of filling
the inspectorships and clerkships are of great
importance to the business community, which
should appeal to the administration at Wash-
ington on any lack of attention to fitness in
tho selections, and it is believed hereafter will
not appeal in vain. The point is not to keep
a certain proportion of this and that party
men in office. It is to got as good or botter
officials on tho occurrence of any change.

THE STATE PRE iS.
What tho Papers Throughout the State
Aro Talking About.
Texas is becoming tho great hennery of tho
union. Tho papers report unprecedented
shipments of eggs to tho north and northwest.
Liko the fruit and vegetable crops, the egg
and spring chicken crops are earlier in Texas
than in statos further north. There seems to
be an equal demand for early vegetables iu
oilier states. Tho Cincinnati Gazctto says:
There is a famine in tho vegetable market
in Cincinnati. Potatoes are $1 a bushel and
over. Cabbages are m tho samo lino. Turnips
aro very dear. The causo of all this is carried
to crop failures. It is a curious fact that these
are now luxuries which can not bo indulged
in except by rich people. The condition offers
an opportunity to tho south. Its seasons are
different from ours. Tho extreme south in
this respect is three months in advance of
Cincinnati. It can, therefore, supply our city
and this section with vegetables of all kinds
about planting time here. Our markets aro
bare; the people aro hungry, and this is tho
opportune period for southern producers to
gather a golden harvest. Plant broadly, cul-
tivate zealously and ship promptly and con-
tinuously. The money is hero to give in re-
turn for all that the railroads may bo capablo
of carrying. Our advice to the southern poo-
plo is to take full advantage of this golden op-
portunity.
The Corpus Christi Caller says:
When the natural resources of Texas aro
developed, Texas will bo a veritablo garden
of Eden.
Tho people of Hitchcock, Alvin and the ad-
jacent region think they havo that garden al-
ready.
Tho Dallas Time3-Horald prints an article
on tho value of the atmosphere. Many facts
aro given, but nothing is said of the impor-
tance of that element in supplying breath.
People could not well spare it for that pur-
pose. I'rom an editorial in the same paper
man does not seem to bo of much consequonce
anyway:
Man can do much—very much. There aro
times when he flatters himself ho attained a
mastery even over nature to a great extent,
but then suddenly the wild horses of nature's
chariot shako their manes and bound forward.
Nature scatters u blizzard of destruction
lightly from her hand as she rides, and the
earth is covered with impassable snow, the
winds freeze men and animals, and the most
powerful mortal feels tiio blast as keenly as
tho idiot. Nature pours out a little more than
the usual quantity of rain. Rivers roll down
in llood, dams burst their barriers, and thous-
ands are drowned in an hour. Nature treads
the earth and shakes it ever so lightly with her
footsteps. Earthquakes follow and tumble
man's strongest temples in ruins upon his
head. Let nature pass ovon a iittlo into an
unusual mood, and men perish by the cityful,
the greatest of them as puny as a fly.
And yet some people take a good deal of
pride in being men, and pluy such fantastic
tricks before high heaven a3 make the angels
woep.
Rev. Dr. Burleson on prayer, on mountain,
and "on with tho dance." He writes to tho
Waco News:
Your worthy Austin correspondent makes a
slight unintentional mistake in tho following
lines:
Tho Chautauqua people prosontod Dr. Burle-
son with u lot when ho wus down hero on tho
lid. and tho grand old man mounted ono of tho
columns forming: tho foundation of tho building
referred to above, and asked tho blessings of
God upon tho enterprise and upon tho men hav-
ing tho flfirac in hand. It now transpires that tho
building dedicated by tho venerable educator is
to bo a daucmg pavilion.
It is truo that tho Chautauqua people did
givo mo a beautiful lot and that I did offer
prayer, but not as a dedication to a dancing
pavillion or any other building. But it has
been a custom of my life for more than fifty
years to ondeavor to educate my soul to devo-
tion and sublimity,Jso as to riso above tho thou-
sands ot little annoyances of life and struggle
for grand and noble onds. And believing that
hills and mountains were God'3 first altars,
and as Jesus went up into a mountain to
preach his wonderful sermon, and as my an-
cestors, as tho name imports, were mountain-
eers (buries meaning a mountaineer), I never
visit sublime mountain scenery without kneel-
ing down and worshiping God in his own
temple, especially when alone. This I havo
always dono when I visited the Alleghany
and Cumberland mountains and our own
Cadoo and Comanche peaks and Mount Mon-
noll and tho grand mountains around
tho Chautauqua grounds 1 endeavor to
commune with God in his own grand
temple, and when I and thirty-two
of my beloved pupils stood upon the
grand Chautauqua heights I felt it a suitable
timo and place to teach thom the grand lesson
of educating their souls to sublimity and devo-
tion. I therefore proposed that wo all join in
singing the grand old hymn,
"All hail tho power of Jesus' name."
After which I knelt down and prayed that
our lives and the grand Chautauqua mountains,
and all the mountains, valleys and rivers of
Texas might bo dedicated to tho glory of
Texas and of God. But yot there is no harm
in dancing, for tho Biblo says "there is a time
to dance," provided we can danco according
to Biblo examples. Miriam and her maidens
dancod with songs and timbrolls at tho Red
sea,when Pharaoh and his murderous host wore
drowned, and David dancod before tho ark of
tho Lord. But in Bible dances the sexes al-
ways danced separately; the promiscuous
dancing of men and women is of low heathen
origin. Henco Cicero, when a cliont of his
was accused of the crime of dancing in the
promiscuous assembly, roplied by saying, "No
Roman senator over dancos unless he is
drunk, and unless my opponent firet proves my
cliont drunk, tho charge of dancing is incrodi-
bio." I will be very happy to soo tho day
when all Texas will imitate the bible dances
and not tho dopraved heathen promiscuous
dances,
An exchange sayn
It has boon tho practice for criminal court
judges to assign some member of tho bar to
defend without compensation a prisoner \vhoso
povorty made it impossible for him to employ
counsel. Now a measure is pending in the
Now York legislature amending tho codo so as
to provide that where it appears that a do-
fondant in a criminal case is unable to oin-
ploy counsel, ami counsel aro assigned to him,
tho court may allow a reasonable compensa-
tion for sorvieos and expensQflf tho amount to
bo ehargod to tho county iu which tho indict-
ment is found. Tho justice of tho proposition
ii too obvious to require argument, and no
objections on tho scure of ethical propriety
have been raised.
Among the objections to tho prnctico is tho
fact that young and briefioss attorneys are
gonorully solectod for tho work and the ac-
cused has hardly an equal chance with tho
prosecution, though tho saino objection might
bo urged to tho stato's attornoys.
Tho Bolton iloportor asks is this a Christian
country. Tho geographies say it is and it is
generally so called, but it is not so named in
tho federal constitution or very closoly identi-
fied by tho habits of the people, ovon thoso
who profess to bo Christians and aro moin-
bers of churches. But tho Reporter alludes
mainly to tho supposed relations of tho gov-
ern tnent and religion. It says:
Thero is a vast difforonce between tho posi-
tion that the Christian church, through either
or all of its branches, should rule over or bo
supported by the ptatoand the position that
it should bo recognized and encouraged in its
various branches by the state. The latter was
doubtless tho view held by the famous authors
of our national constitution and approved by
tho people who had just endangered their lives
and shed their blood to earn tho powor to
adopt it. That ours is a Christian country
can bo soen from its present stato. Tho
constitution, it is true, says our government
"shall have no establishment o 1 re-
ligion," but tho expression is ovidently
used in its historic sense of a religion that
rules over or is financially supported by tho
stato. What mean the laws requiring obser-
vance of the Christian Sabbath that prevail
throughout tho. union? It is not enough to
say wo aro thought to no. d a day of rest and a
majority prefer the first day of tho week.
The Reporter takes no notice of the fact that
tho Christian Sabbath is not tho day named in
the commandments and tho day still held
sacred by the Jews, and is in favor of laws
prohibiting the admission of any but Chriij-
tains as immigrants. It says:
We may lack the power now because of
popular opinion being allowed to stray, and
pooplo of unchristian sentiments to come
among us. But though right may be crushed
down by might it don't cease to bo right, and
if wo don't want our beloved institutions
choked out by Infidel anarchism we had bet-
ter try to uso our rights.
TEXAS ABROAD.
Chattanooga (Tenn.) Times: If Mr. Cleve-
land dropped tho Texan as a cabinet choico
when ho learned that if appointed the judge
would probably use his influence on con-
gressional action in a way to cause tho viola-
tion of tho party's plodges and principles, tho
president did exactly what anybody who
knows the man would expect him to do.
Tho cabinet will face but one way on tho
coinago question, and thero will no free coin-
age men, in the sense of tho phrase as used
by the Blandite% sent abroad in any diplomat-
ic capacity of tho least importance. Mark
this prediction and wait for its fulfillment.
Tho peoplo of this and other countries will
havo a palpable demonstration in Mr. Clove-
land's appointments and in the wholo tono of
his administration, that tho United States will
not. if ho can prevent it, adopt tho Chinose-
Indian-Moxiean inonoy standard.

OATTLE (JOUNENTION,
Tlio I'roifn'MH of IVi'dlng.
Fobt Worth, Tex., March 14.—A stroamer
in tho cattlo convention hall speaks olo-
quently of tho progress of catllo feeding in
Texas. It says: "Cotton Hood Cattlo Fed in
Texas 1800*01, 75,500; *89*96, 250,750." It
shows that tho Texas cattlo raiser is keeping
up with the procession. Ho is singing low,
but moving along. Boforo tho season of 1890.
01 thero wore no foeding figures. Inquirers
are told that tho number was too small to
warrant the labor of keeping. It is said, how-
ovor, that 1800-91 showed a bigger increase In
proportion than the season of 1802-911. Tho
records as to corn fed cattlo aro not obtain-
able, but it is claimed tho incrcaso is nearly
as great as iu the number fed on cotton seed
weal.
Mr. George Lindsay of Beltou is here. Mr.
Lindsay is one of those men who discovered
that cottonseed meal was worth its weight in
gold ns a feed stuff, and that cattle fed upon
that product brought better prices and sold
more readily than grassfeu cattle. Mr. Lind-
say put this knowledge into effect and has not
suffered. He has a big inclosuro near Bel-
ton, where ho drives his cattle, feeds them and
slnps them direct from tho feeding ground to
market.
All the big ranchers have not been slow to
g« t onto the comoination of corn and meal-
fed cattle, and the number of feeders which
the books show to have been in Texas this
m d mionst rat i that the know 1 • ige I •
spreading. This year the total is double last
yt ar's figure*, and tho people now here say
that next year will wi'neas another doubling
up. So the good work goes on and Texas
keeps in the front.
The St. Louisa ns Entertain.
The St. Louis live slock exchange and tho
National stockyards delegation entertained
somo of their newspaper and cattlo friends in
their elegant privato sleeper Seminole at tho
depot last night. Over the wulnuts and wine
the boys talsed of things past, present and to
come. Mr. C. M. Keyes, president of the live
sock ^change, among other things said:
•'For thu lirat time iu many years we havo had
cattle from Texas upon the St. L:;uis market
e-ery day since Nov. 15, and I may bo par-
cl'tied for saying that I think wo have done
thu best we could by you. We have noticed
with no small degree of pleasure and satisfac-
tion the improvement which has been modem
the quality of cattle shipped to outride mar-
k. h. \ - ;u send now to our markets corn fed
cattlo and meal fed cattlo. You have some-
how or <'thvr learned >n a year or so what it
has taken the stoekraisers of other sections
v. ole decades. Tho cattle you ship now com-
pare.-; most favorably with that produced any-
where. We think you have seen the result of
aii this improved mode of feeding by an ad-
vancing market, and I say here and now that
we think before the year is out you will get
from 50 to 75 cents a hundred pounds more
than you havo received for many years."
And then tho newspapers were given a
chance to tell how they doted on tho cattle-
men and how the newspapers have always
been and always will be tno friends of tho cat-
tle raiser and will see that as f ar as lies in
their power the cattle interests of Texas will
receivo them eed of recognition and'protection
to which they are entitled.
Brother W. B. Stickney, v,'ho backslided
from the pastepofc and scissors into tho live
st ck commission business in St. Louis, said
something which demonstrated that his jour-
nalistic love of the truth has not been dimmed
by contamination with tho wicked world.
Said lie: "I want to say something for the
press of Texas. I am acquainted with it. I
used to represent that great moral and rolig-
ious daily, The Dallas Mokning News, at
tho litile town of Henrietta. I know that pa-
per always has endeavored to the best of its
ability to keep peace in the family. It has
always bravely taken the stand that tho pro-
ducer cannot sell to the consumer direct and
that tho middleman being a necessity it is
best for the producer and the middleman to
get along as peaceably as possible. Wo all
know that a great many people aro full of the
prejudice now extant against the middleman.
The News has faithfully combatted this idea
and has been a leader in this work of dissi-
pating a false impression. Together with the
rest of tho press of Texas it has been tho
friend of oil the peoplo interested in tho cat-
tle trade, no matter in what capacity. Wo
owe it much thanks for the good it has dono
and is doing. It is slowly but surely bringing
ubout an era of good feeling which everybody
has been longing and praying for."
Then Col. Bill Peters of Chicago rose up
and while his bald head twinkled and glis-
tenud under tho gaslight ho said that all that
Mr. Stickney had said he was prepared to
back up with his lifo if necessary. Tho cat-
tlemen of Texas, paid Col. Peters, knew that
the commission and stock yards men were
thtir friends. Their sentiments had been
sometimes misrepresented and often mis-
understood, but they were the truest, biggest-
hearted, most cheerful fellows on the face of
this terrestrial ball and Iir hoped they would
ail live long aud prosper, a toast which was
drunk standing.
Arrived with lianners Flying.
To-night the boys from tho city on the
"Kaw" established headquarters at tho Pick-
wick and kept opon house for a couple of
hours. A perfect stream of friends poured in on
them and good cheer was tho toast of the even-
ing. Everybody enjoyed themselves. Before
leaving here, the Kansas City boys will ten
der the members of the convention an invi-
tation to go to Kansas City as the guests of tho
Kansas City live stock exchange. Many of
the boys will accept.
The Kansas City delegation arrived with
banners flying in special cars to day on tho

Court Receiverships.
The Waco Day-Globe has some pertinent re-
flections about federal court and state court
receiverships, saying:
It is also very generally agreed that thero
ought to be somo restraint thrown around tho
federal judges in thecouduct of receiverships.
But the governor's furious attack upon the
federal judiciary must not be allowed to
prejudice the public mind in favor of state
court recieverships. Our experience in Texas
with recieverships, we must confess, does not
strengthen our regard for them, but a com-
parison between federal receiverships and
state court receiverships is rather prejudicial
to the latter. The Globe-Democrat says
Gov. Hogg's mesHage will serve to call
attention to one of the grave abuses of the
federal judicial system aud proceeds: "The
courts aro used as agencies for tho eon sum
mutiou of plans for wholesale plunder. Thoi
are not supposed to know, of course, that
their authority is being thus perverted to ille
gitimate uses, but tho elfect is tho hiuiio as if
they wore fully aware of the plot. It was tho
late Jay Gould who inumtcd this convenient
method of achieving a dishonest purpose by
apparently honest moans| and he seems t<.
have had imitators equally as artful and un
scrupulous an himself in such transactions.
The stockholders in railroads managed by re
coivors aro never considorod for a moment,
Their interests aro at tho mercy of inimical
forces and they generally lose their ontiro in
vestment. Tho receiver and his associate
are anxious only to make as much money as
pos Ible for themselves whilo the opportunit
lusts, and they rarely or never fail to
make a clean sweep of everything in
sight." Tho charge is too sweeping
perhaps, though generally true, but no
more »o with federal receiverships than stato
receiverships. Mr. Gould acquired a distaste
for federal receiverships during hisexperience
with the Missouri, Kansas aud Texas, and re-
sorted to the state court in Smith county to
accomplish his designs on the International
and Great Nor'hern, which seomod to answer
his purpose to perfection. The receivership
was tho subject of legislative investigation
and the recipient of a coat of whitewash. If
Gov. Hogg had $50,000,000 with which to tight
the federal courts he could not accomplish
anything except to involve tho state in a fruit
Jess quarrel with tho national government,
Moreover, tho largo siznd beam floating
around in tho eye of the stato ought to bo re
moved before we go mote hunting under
Uncle Sam's goggles.

President Clark,
Concerning tho retirement of President
Clark of the Union Pacific, Mr. Edwin Gould
is reported as saying: "Mr. Ciark has dono
wonders for tho Union Pacific, and natually
the stockholders of that system want him to
continue at the head. In many respects I ro
cognize him as ono of the greatest railway
mauagers in the country, for he has improved
not only the physical condition of the Union
Pacific, but its financial standing as well.
Then he has been a friend of the laboring
classes, which gives him a power many able
men do not possess. While I am not in posi-
tion to say, as my brother George looks alter
the railway interests loft by my father, it
would not surprise me to see Mr. Clark con-
tinue with both systems as now."
Ship Ual I way Enterprise.
Tho Chignecto ship railway enterprise,
which proposed the construction of a ship
railway to connect the bay of Fundy with the
gulf of St. Lawrence and on which over $li,-
100,000 has already been spent, appears to be
a financial failuro. The Canadian govern-
ment had promised assistance to the amount
of $3,000,000, to be paid on completion of tho
work, but it now is said that $0,000,000 will
be required to finish it. Work was suspended
nearly two years ago, and tho company has
applied to the dominion parliament for an
extension of time, but the minister of finance
says that tho government will not grant it
unless it is shown that the work will be com-
pleted within a reasonable period.
World's Fair Intr.imural Kail way.
Tho intramural railway will bo ono of tho
most important of tho conveniences provided
for thoso who visit the world's fair. It will
furnish a means for going quickly botween all
points of interest insido tho grounds. As the
tracks are all elevated the trains can be run
at high speed. Work on tho tracks is rapidly
progressing.
Thero will be eighteen trains in service,
each consisting of a motor car and three trail-
ers, supplying seats for about 200 passengers.
Each cud of the soctions botween seats is pro-
tected by sliding doors, and all tho doors on
each side are operated simultaneously by a
lever on the end platform. The upper open
portion of the cars can be closed iu by roller
curtains, winch aro also operated from tho
ends of the car. A platform is provided on
each end of the cars for a brakeman, whoso
duty it is in addition to handling tho brakes
in case of emergency to operate the doors and
curtains.
A brilliant light is furnished by electric
latnps^ fixed on tho roof along tho sides of tho
car. The Now York air brake company's
special design of brake is used, which gives
increased braking power over the regular
emergency brake. The pumps for supplying
the brakes are operated by electric motors
placed on the platforms of the motor car.
Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf.
The right of way of tho Kansas City, Pitts-
burg and Gulf railroad through the Indian
territory is as follows: "Beginning at a point
on the south lino of Cherokee county, near
the town of Galena, in the state of Kansas,
and running thence in a southerly direction
through the Indian territory or through the
stato oi Arkansas and tho Indian territory, by
the most feasible and practicable route to a
point on the Rod river, near the town of
Clarksville, in the state of Texas."
Chased by a 15ox Car.
"I was chased onco by a box car," 6aid an
ex-railroad man to a Kansas City Journal re-
porter. "It was out in Colorado, the land of
steep grades and sharp curves. We were
sliding down the mountains one day with a
baggage car and two coaches. I was on the
rear car looking at the road when I descried
a box car coming down the grade at a rate of
speed that was appalling. If it struck us we
were gone sure, for it would smash the entire
train into kindling wood and pile it up in one
of tho gorges. Our only hopo was lo either
outrun or wreck it. The engineer caught
sight of it at the same instant that 1 did, and
put the lever down among the tallow pots. It
appeared impossible that we could hold the
track on the sharp curves whilo moving more
than a mile a minute, but we did and the box
car continued to saw wood. If we could once
get to the foot of tho grade we would be safo,
but that was soon seen to bo impossible. Rap-
idly as we were going, the box car continued
to gain upon us and now we could see that it
was loaded with iron. Something must bo
dono, and that quickly. All the passengers
had fled iuto tho forward coach and were
hanging on to the seats. I signaled the en-
gineer to shut oft', set a brako hard on the
rear coach, pulled the pin and the engineer
opened the throttle. We had not gono 100
yards before tho box car ran into tho coach
and sent splinters flying a quarter of a mile
high. Both went plunging over into a chasm
and I hunted up a passenger who had a flask
and reinforced my nerves."

A special called session of the Deuison city
council is being hold to-night to consider mat-
ters relative to the waterworks diilieulty and
tho restoration of tho hydrant rentals. Tho
water company was, by resolution of the city
council, dropped from the city pay rolls on
August of last year for failuro to comply with
the requirements of its contract, to wit, that
of throwing five one-inch streams of water 100
feet high continuously for two hours. A second
test was made and it was a failure. During
Janury of this year a third te.-»t was made and
it was successful, being accepted by the coun-
cil as satisfactory. The hydrant rentals were
not rostorod, howovor, the city claiming that
the water company was violating its contract
by pumping surface or drainage water from a
portion oi tho city through the water mains.
The matter lias beou standing in this shape
since the January test.
The city, through the city council, s'ands
ready to restore the hydrant rental from tho
January lest forward provided the water com-
pany will remove three water valves or plugs
that admit tho objectionable water into the
mains. The water complained of comes
from a territory on which there aro 700 resi-
dences with a population of over8,500 peoplo,
so it is stated by physicians who wtreappoint-
ed by the city to investigate the water supply

Mass Meeting in tho Interest of Nnvarro's
Capital.
Coksicana, Navarro Co., Tex., Marah H.—
La8t night, in answer to a call by the business
men, a meeting waa held at tho city hall.
Mayor Evans was oallod to the chair and Mr.
W. W. Ballew was elected secretary.
Mr. H. G. Damon, in stating the object of
the meeting, spnke upon the city's possibili-
ties, and touched upon tho desirability of
more railroad facilities, branches of the Mis-
souri, Kansas and Texas and Cotton Belt,
either one and botter both.
Capt. C. H. AUyn did not at this timo deem
it practicable to consider plans for the con-
struction of new railroads, but suggested tho
organization of a joint stock company for the
purpose of procuring artesian water, and also
referred to tho importance of bettering tho
condition of public roads loading to Corsi-
cana.
Mr. Stephen Smith made a pointed talk on
tho water quostion, and thought by the organ-
ization of a joint stock company, artesian wa-
ter could be obtained. lie recognized the
importance of good dirt roads.
()n motion of Mr, W. W. liallew, Capt. Allyn
and Messrs. Smith and Damon were ap-
pointed a committee to eo-operato with tho
county commissioners in tho improvement of
the county roads.
Mr. H. G. IJamon. in regard to artesian
water, stated tliat Major Beaton, having spent
about $1100 on the well being dug on his
place, was willing to give the city an acre of
ground and liberally throw m the well "to
boot."
Mr. W. J. McKie thought that with enter-
prise and liberality Corsicana stood a good
chance of getting tho "Katy;" that tho legis-
lature now in session had not enacted any
legislation prejudicial to railroad construc-
tion; that the govornor was inclined to bo
more liberal j that railroad magnates were
watching closely tho course of tho state ad-
ministration and that a revival iu. railroad
building would take place.
On Mr. MoKie's motion Capt. C. H. Allyn
ana Messrs. S. A. Pace and Stephen Smith
wore appointed as a committee to work up in-
terest in tho various railway schemes.
Mr. B. Ford gavo his reasons for thinking
tho Missouri. Kansas and Texas wouldn't
strike this country. He thought with proper
encouragement the Cotton Bull might pene-
trate the southeast.
Mr. Smith, both from a business and social
standpoint, epoke of the benetit to bo derived
from the organization of a commercial cluo.
His idea was met with much favor.
Tho park idea camo up for discussion and
Capt. Allyn grew enthusiastic over tha matter.
He was willing to tako the initiative in the
way of subscription.
Mr. Smith and others shared the enthusi-
asm and suggested that the ladies be solicited
to lend ''the idea" Ihoir talont.
The chair appointed tho following commit-
tee to co-operate with the city council in tho
building of tho city park : Major M. Drane,
Capt. C. H. AUyn, Judge J. L. Autry and
Messrs. C. W. Jester and Steve Smith, to
which was supplemented the mayor. The
