Hempstead, To*., March 26,—Tho News
corrcrtpondent lms hsd nu 111 to resting inter-
view with /i prominent bUBiuofit* man of iioUB-
ton who has been visiting Austin lately, and
us ho wrh well pontod on public affairs Konor-
ally, as well a* railroad now?, the reportorial
auger was set to work.
Correspondent: "There has been considera-
ble talk lately, and the newspapers ateo have
indulged in speculation*, as to whom Judge
McCormick of tho federal court will appoint
receiver of the Houston and Texas Central to
fill the vacancy caused by tho resignation of
Colonel Charles Dillingham several weeks
ago, and whom tho court compols to hold on
until a successor is appointed. Who do you
think will be chosen to take his place?"
Answer: " Well, sir, tho Central was ready
to bo turned over to the president and board
of directors on .January 1 last, but you ro-
m em bo r Justice Lamar of the United States
supremo court, upon a petition of a fow old
bondholders, that they had not hud fair play
in the circuit courts, granted un injunction to
stop Receiver Dillingham from taking any
stops to obey tho order of tho lower court un-
til ho could investigate tho case in chambers.
Judge Lamar was then taken very ill, and his
death soon followed. Judge Jackson, his sue*
cessor, recently appointod by President Harri-
son, issued an order porpetuating the in-
junction. During tho past week the case was
called before him, and the attorneys inter-
ested on both sides announced they were
ready. The arguments were expected to com-
mence on Wednesday or Thursday last, but it
seems that this has not boon done yet, but
everything will doubtless be decided during
the present wook."
" What do you think will be the result?"
"There can bo only one result, tho decision
of tho lower court will bo affirmed and the
road will at once go into the hands of its own-
ers, and therefore there will bo no necessity
for Judge McCormick to appoint a receiver."
"Will a president and board of directors
take charge of the liues at onco?"
"They were ready for this service sincei Jan-
uary 1 last, when the lower court ordered tho
property turned over to the company. Colonel
Charles Dillingham was president of the Hous-
ton and Texas Central and is now president of
the Austin and Northwostorn lines: the board
of directors rcsido in Texas and New York,
and if a now deal is not made, if Judge Jack-
son affirms the decision of the lower court, tho
same board of officers will direct tho atfairs of
tho Central company."
"Do you think there will bo many changes
mado whon the reorganization of tho Central
takes place?"
"Very few indeod. During the eijht years
Colonel Dillingham has been receiver ho has
had practised railroad men as lieutenants, and
tho road bed and rolling stock have been con-
tinually improved, until now both aro among
the best in tho Uuited States. General Super-
intendents Quinlan and Division Superintend-
ents Leo and Dalian aro all practical railroad
men, who have the confidence and good
will of nil tho employes, and the affairs of tho
company have always moved along like clock-
work/'
"Do you think tho company will choose a
general manager, and from your observations
who will be the man?"
"Railroad men seldom divulge nows of this
kind and aro careful about shooting oft' their
mouths, but my opinion is that the extensive
businoss of the company, which is increasing
at a rapid rate overy year, as seen by tho cot-
ton bales hauled, will require a first-class gen-
eral manager, and that man is almost certain
to write his name'A. H. Swanson. Tho gen-
tleman hold tho same position many years bo-
fore the road wont into the hands of a receiver,
and cave pertoct satisfaction. Besides, Quin-
lan, Leo and Datfan were his lieutenants then,
and all pulled togother iu upholding the inter-
ests of the company."
"Do you think there will bo much railroad
building in Texas the present year?"
"All dopendB on the attitude of the legisla-
ture. If it considers new railways detrimental
to tho interests of tne state and passes laws al-
lowing the commissioners to manage the busi-
ness of the companies as the unconstitutional
commission law there will certainly be few
miles of new road built. But if the su-
pvomo court of the United States protects
them, as it will certainly do, the era of rail-
road building has just commenced in Texas."
Clamor Agninst Rallroals.
In its issue of this weok the Railway Ago
and Northwestern Railroader will publish an
article from James F. How, vice president of
the Wabash railroad, in which he insists upon
the necessity of the railway interests taking
some concerted moasuro to protect them-
selves against the anti-railroad crusade of the
western legislatures, and urges the companies
to unite in a campaign of education. He
says:
"When it is asserted that railroad corpora-
tions aro earning dividends on watered capital
let figures bo produced, as they can be, show-
ing that but little watered capital oxibts and
that tho total actual capital invested in tho
railroads of this country is paying about 3 por
cent, and that tho stock of a largo proportion
of tho roads of this country is yielding no re-
turn to its holders. Meet the general accusa-
tion that railroads aro paying less than their
proportion of tho taxes of the country
with copies of official records
from tho different states and
counties, showing iu many caseB that general
property is not paying taxes on one-half of its
actual salablo value, while railroads aro
paying on what is considered a full cash
estimate. Show that in Indiana, where the
authorities aro sworn to, and claim that they
do assess railroad property at its full cash
value, tho assessed valuation of real estate is,
as has been shown to them by figures taken
from the official records of county
after county, fixed at less than 60
per cent of the valuation named
in the deeds conveying that 6am© prop-
erty ; that in Illinois, where the board of
equalization has publicly adopted tho rule,
as shown by the records, of assessing property
at 25 per cent of its full value, railroad equip-
ment is valued at one-half of what would bo
its value if now, and, taking into considera-
tion the fact that the assessment covers equip-
ment which has boon in use an averago from
ten to fifteon years, tho valuation placed on it
is equal to tho full amount that could bo re-
alized from it if sold to-day; that in Michigan
the values of railroads are fixed on a basis of
their gross earnings without regard to
the fact that in some cases, on account of the
physical condition of the property, excessive
expenses may greatly reduce tho net earnings,
or competitive rates may leave but scant
margin between gross earnings and operating
expenses, and also regardless of the fact
that the earnings of no other corporation,
manufacturer or individual iB considered in
valuing their property for taxation: show that
a similar or equally unjust condition of affairs
in regard to railroad taxation generally ex-
ists."
In conclusion Mr. How says:
"Lot the public clamor which charges rail-
road management with an attempt to put
onerous rates on the transportation of freight
and passengers bo answered by facts and fig-
ures showing tho yearly downward tendency
of charges for such services. Meet overy as-
sault with an array of evidence showing how
groundless is tho foundation upon which the
charges are based. Lot the railroad cham-
pions be as vigorous and outspoken in sup-
port of their cause as their opponents are and
have been against them. Let them
try to defend no wrong, but
assert their rights in the boldest and most
open manner. The effect of such a course
may bo slow in reaching fruition. First at-
tempts will necessarily yield unsatisfactory
results. The railroads have remained silunt
bo long und»r the Hood of calumny that they
have suffered that it will take long and con-
stant labor to froe thorn from Its results. But
slowly and suvoly tho community will learn
that they have labored uudor convictions un
justified and liberal, and the groat sentiment
of the American people in favor of fair play
to nil will eventually insure to tho railroads
their rights and give thorn tho same protection
accorded to other citizons of our govern-
ment."

Kwitclimen DIhciihh » Strike.
Philadelphia, Pa., March 20.—An im.
portant mooting of tho Uuited Brotherhood of
Switchmen was held here this afternoon
bohind closed doors, and only known and
credited representatives of the order wero
admitted. The mooting was in session two
hours, and whon it adjourned informa-
tion in regard to its proceedings
wore rofused. Nevertheless a slight general
idea of the business that came before tho
mooting was obtained. The purpose of the
meeting was to discuss tho question of a
strike upon the Pennsylvania railroad
and roads entering Chicago during tho
world's fair or just prior to its
opening. Delegates from various points along
tho line of tho Pennsylvania railway and local
branches of tho brotherhood in Chicago wore
presant. A numbor of letters wore read, the
goneral sentiment of which was against the
strike. Tho feelings of the switchmon at tho
mooting, however, wero somewhat more
pronounced than those of tho writers
of the letters and a strong sentiment scorned
to provail in favor of taking advantage of tho
coming rush of business on tho railroad lines
to state tho men's grievances and put pressure
of some description upon the railroads to com-
pel them to grant them.
Called to Arizona.
San Antonio, Tex., March 26.-8. E.
Wilkinson, grand master of tho Order of Rail-
way Trainmen, who is here to settle tho
grievances of the San Antonio and Aransas
Pass brakemen with the officers of that com-
pany, received a number of telegrams yester-
day and to-day calling upon him to come im-
mediately to Arizona and look after the in-
terests of the members of his order in tho
troublo on the Atlantic and Pacific system.
He also recoivod a telegram from E. E. Clark,
grand chief of the Order of Railway Conduc-
tor, requesting that ho come to Winslow,
Ariz., at tho earliest possible moment. Mr.
Wilkinson states that tho Order of Railway
Trainmen will not recognize any action that
may bo or has already been done by tho
Brotherhood of Railway Employes in the At-
lantic and Pacific trouble. Ho will probably
loave here Tuesday for Arizona.
Hallway ill I lex ge.
Indications of railway mileage this year
will somewhat exceod tho average of tho last
ten years. Of tho mileage projected the
greater part is in the south. Alabama inter-
ests contemplate building 1138 miles; Florida,
1206; Goorgia, 1223; Now Mexico, 1096; Ten-
nessee, 1281, and Texas, 2189.
There are 4115 railway projects under con-
sideration. It is believed that 300 of these
will be built within ten years to moet a bona
fide demand for railway facilities. The whole
number of undertakings is more evenly di-
vided among different states than usual. The
western lines projected include a largo
amount of double track roquired by old roads.

Tbmplz, Tex., March 26.—There is a move
on foot among the railroad orders that will
most probably develop into a contest of far
reaching proportions.
A Cow with Hydrophobia.
Harwood, Tex., March 26.—Four or five
days ago one of Mr. T. J. Morley's milk cows
came to tho pen with a cut on her hind log.
All supposed it was caused by barbed wire.
This morning, however, the cow developed a
clear caso of hydrophobia. She is placed in a

A FIGHT 1:;XPE0TED.
Locke Refuses to Surrender to tho Militia.
Reinforcements Gathering.
Pahis, Tex., March 26.—This has boon a
memorable day in tho history of the little
town of Antlers, iu the Choctaw nation. Tho
air has been rife with rumors and there has
been many maneuvers oxocuted by tho rival
factions. The Nsws correspondent has boon
thero all day ondoavoring to got ail insight
into the trouble. Reaching there early this
morning everything was found to bo quiet
but everybody was on the qui yive. A report
caino in that tho militia was in camp a mile
and a half from town. Locko with eight men
wont out to recounoiter. They approached
within a hundred yards of tho camp and
whooped, but got no reply. Tho militia knpt
out of sight. Locke's party returned to town.
Hon. John C. Gibbons, United States com-
missioner, agreed to go to tho militia with a
inossago from Locke, who wanted to know
why tho militia wore in the vicinity, and if
they had warrants for tho arrest of any man
to bay so and ho would surrender himself or
uuy man with him to tho regularly constituted
civil authorities. Ho was ready to disarm
and disband his mou whgu the militia did tho
same. Soon after Mr, Gibbons, in company
with Deputy Marshal Blackburn, loft on their
mission, three Indian women arrived iu town.
They said the militia took them from their
homes yoateiday und kept them in camp all
night in order to keep them from informing
Locko of their movements. The women wero
sent homo and told to send all tho men they
could to Antlers at once. Mr. Gibbons found
that the militia had brokou camp and trailed
them to a point three miles north of Antlors,
where they pitched their touts on a high hill
on an open prairie. His appearance caused
considerable excitement. A long conference
was held, but no agreement could be reached.
They expressed a determination to arrest
Albert Jackson und others, saying they had
proper process for them.
Mr. Gibbons asked for time to further con-
sult Locke. Ho returned to Antlors and
talked over the matter. Locko wrote out tho
following ultimatum and Mr. Gibbons re-
turned to tho camp of tho militia with it lato
this afternoon:
1. All charges against any individual must
originate in the county where tho olfenso was
committed, and after an examining triat as
the law directs, tho judgo finds the charges
sufficient, thou ho can exact bonds, and no
other power outside of a grand jury writ or
indictment has a right to issuo writs.
As to the militia, they aro unauthorized by
law, unless the county authorities aro powor-
less to execute tho law. Therofore, if there
aro any charges against our mou, let tho com-
plaints be lodged in their respectivo coun-
ties and aftor a duo summons by tho proper
authorities has been given they will appear to
answer the complaint as the law directs, but
in no caso will thoy surrender to the militia, as
that so-called body has no power to act unless
called upon by tho county authorities.
V. M. Lockrc.
Tho concensus of opinion among uon-citi-
zens is that tho proposition will not be ac-
cepted. Reinforcements are expected by tho
militia. Throe companios aro going from
Tuskahomn, Talihina and Albion. Word
comes that 100 men oro going from Good land
to the assistance of the militia. It is said that
by 10 o'clock to-morrow morning nearly 200
militia will bo massed noar thero. At present
thero aro thirty-ouo in camp. They have one
prisoner. Locko had about thirty mou thero
at 6 o'clock, but 110 men aro coming to his
aid from tho oustern part of tho nation. A do-
tachmont coming from Fewsou and Bluo
couutics doubtless crossed tho Kiomitia bc-
foro dark.
Tho outlook is bad. There seems to bo no
possibility of a peaceful adjustment. It is be-
lieved that it will have to be fought out, and
tho crisis will come to-morrow. Tho troublo
is political, a result of tho last gubernatorial
campaign, say Locke and his followers.
Tho Jones men say Locko and his mon are
defying the laws of tho nation and thoy must
obey them. People at Antlers say that they
never anticipated trouble until yesterday
morning. Thoy knew tho militia were in tho
eastern portion of tho nation, but felt no alarm.
Feeling has been intensified by Governor Jones
removing Jackson Billey, sheriff of Codar
county, from office and appointing Wcsloy.
Billey is a national, or Jackson man, and
Wesley is a Joues, or progressive, man. Tho
nationals openly say that Billoy was removed
on account of his politics and without warrant
of law. _
MARSHALL CONFERENCE,
Bishop Hargrove Presides—Don't Want
the Postmaster Changed.
Hall villi, Tex., March 26.—Tho Marshall
district conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church met hero Friday. Bishop Hargrove of
Nashville, Tenn., presided. About fifty preach-
ers and delegates were in attendance.
C. P. Conton of Longview, J. F. Reynolds
of Kilgore, C. C. Dickord of Hallvillo and J.
R. Heartsill of Marshall wero elected dele-
gates to tho oast Texas convention, which
meets this fall at Orange, Tex.
The announcement in The News a fow days
since that Congressman Cooper had recom-
mended a change in postmasters hore causod
considerable stir among the people, especi-
ally among the merchants, all of whom, ex-
cept one, in town sent telegrams
to Congressman Cooper and the
fourth assistant postmaster general at
Washington, asking that no further action bo
taken in tho matter until they could bo hoard
from. The present postmaster, Major R. E.
Etheridge, besides being a lifelong democrat,
has mado one of tho most efficient postmas-
ters the town has ever had, and tho merchants
and the public generally want him rotained
purely on business principles.
LIVELY SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Two Negroes and a White Man Shot and
an Officer Missing.
Shreveport, La., March 26.—A shooting
scrape occurred at Plain Doaling about 10
o'clock Saturday night. Plain Dealing is on
the Cotton Belt route, about 28 miles abovo
hero. The negroes of the neighborhood gave
a dance in the city limits and next door to
Prof. Johnson's residence. Thoy became
boisterous, and several citizens, including
Prof. Johnson, headed by a Mr. Hitch, who
was appointod marshal by tho mayor
for the occasion, attempted to quiet
tlie darkies and make them more gentle.
Whon they attempted to serve tho papers on
the dancers shooting was started by tho
negroes, und when the smoke cleared away it
was discovered that two negroes had been
probably fatally shot and one other
wounded. Prof. Johnson of tho Pioneor
Plain Dealing high school, was shot in tho
left arm, not seriously. Six of the nogrocs
were jailed at Benton, La. Mr. Uitoh, tho
marshal, disappeared during the shooting, and
up to this hour has not beon hoard from.

LUMBER IN GOOD DEMAND AND
PRICES ADVANCING.
The Outlook for Texas Mills Was No res
Brighter, and tho Foreign Trade la
Growing to Lar#e Dimensions.
Cot.m b9meil, Tox,, JMarch 26. —Thojm 111 man
moets you with a sinilo and talks ploasautly of
tho situation. Ho has several innttors to fool
good about, and shakes hands with himsolf
particularly often over tho advances In prices
of southern lumber. He fcols, too, that there
is a permanonoy in this happiness not hereto-
fore enjoyed by Texas manufacturers, and I
bases that belief mainly upon tho growing |
knowledge in tho west of 'ho superior strength
and durability of yellow pino over white,
which causes a clamor on the part of western
conaurnor* for southern lumber. Another
point to tho favor of Texas manufacturers
is tho rapid development of tho
Boveral deep water oorts on tho coast, first of
which in importance figures Sabine Pass,
becauso of its direct connection by both water
and rail with a largfe number of tho big coast
mills, oj well as u goodly number that lie in-
land fifty to a hundred miles. Tho active
work of the government drodge boat there,
and the engineer' statement that within
eighty days there will bo sixtoen feet of water
on the bar, is causing quite a deal of inquiry
from Mexico, South America and othor for-
eign countries. Tii Sabine Pass export asso-
ciation haj beon revived and id now
EQUIPPED WITH INFORMATION
relative to all outii ie points accessible, in a
competitive way, by southern mill products.
This information m advantageous to all coast
manufacturers, and consequently so to others;
for every foot of lumber that finds market
abroad decreases tho volume hero with which
to supply the hom<- demand, and so makes a
ready and fair market for that not taken by
tho foreign trade, thus doing away with sur-
pius stocks to Such a degree that within less
than a yoar the big mills in the upper yellow
pine belt may become void of yard stuff and
cut lumber to order, for tiio western and
northern trade, u< did tho 5000 feet per day

ago.
Another feature favorable to this hypothe-
sis is the vast diflfsrunce in prices of norrhoru
and southern boar ii. White pino stumpags

and naturally enough tho southern millman
profits thereby.
The extonding of the 22-cent rate to many
new points in Iowa, Illiuois and western Ne-
braska by tho Eaty; in St. Louis,
Indiana, Michign, eastern Ohio and west-
ern Pensylvania by tlie Cotton Bolt, and a
general widening out on iiko points by the
Santa Fe, covering almost its entire syotom in

With prices up and yet rising a bountiful sup-
ply of orders and nothing akin to a car famine

sippi thero is no ground for grumbling
among manufacturers unle3s they revert to

MILLING NOTES.
The Nebraska lumber company, near Wood,
villo, has filed chartor papers, and is boing en-
larged and improved.
Tho Summit mills havo lo3t sovoral days
lately from shortage of logs. T. J. Williams,
who is logging the mill by contract, got an-
other Mogul locomotivo Saturday, and is now
keeping the mill well supplied.
Tho Colmosnoil mills failed to run throe or
four days lately, the entire working force be-
ing engaged in shifting tram track, whereby
fresh tuid more lucrative pineries aro now ac-
cessible.
Gardner & Co.'s little mill near town is
making a special run of lato on hard wood,
and has turned out a Rice quantity of ash,
gum, magnolia and walnut lumber. The
main bulk of it goes to Iluutsvillo, and is
worked into furniture, wagons and plows by
tho state prison poople.
Fleming & Son havo their tram road com-
pleted somo throe miles into tho prairie and
are again running regularly, after a shutdown
of nearly a yoar, rebuilding the mill and put-
ting in new tram.

TEXAS WORLD'S Jt'AIii MATTERS,
Htatemont From Mr. Morsa at to Funds
Collected for the Exhibit.
Austin, Tex., March 26,—Tho following re-
port is made to the press to-day by Mr. Morse:
Thero is more interest manifested in world's
fair matters hore at present than has boon for
somo tune. A statement has boon published
in tho leading papers that tho ontiro amount of
$17,000 nocessary to compffeto tho building had
beon subscribed. This statement was only
semi-official and did not coma* direct from
Mrs. Tobin, the only porsori authorized to make
au official statement. Just as soon aj theeutiro
amount is secured Mrs. Tobin will give
an official statement to tho press. This can
not be dono for sovoral days, or until tho
amounts reported collected and in tho hands
of local chairmen of local boards is sent in to
Mrs. Tobin. In tho seml-ctfttaial statement
above referred to, these various sums were in-
cludod in order to make up the amount,
mnong which was the sum subscribed at tho
cattiomon's convention held in Fort Worth
lant rfeofc, which was estimated at $750. Un-
til tho amount of this subscription is defi-
nitely known and received, and the amouut
promised by Mr. Morse from tho attorneys of
tne statu is socured, no corroct Btntomout can
be mado. It appoars that a conference was
held in Waco a fow days ago between R. B.
Parrott and Chas. S. Morso, two friends of
Mrs. Tobin, the result of which was a state-
ment from thorn that tho gum of $1T,000 was
subscribed. In making up this statement
they considered as cash two subscription* of
$600 oach, which tho subscribers
havo sinco notified Mrs. Tobin was
intended as a loan, for which
they wanted a first lien on tho building in ac-
cordance with u proposition thoy claim was
made by Coionei Pavrott. Counting theso
two amounts as $1000 cash thore remained a
little less than $5U0 to be raised and Colonel
Parrott promised to pay that in order to com-
plete the building, and has since that tirno
sent his check for $365, which was then con-
sidered the amount due.
The amount collected by Mr. Morse in Now
York, vis.: $5000 from George J. Gould, $6'.KX)
from C. P. Huutington and $2000 from H. C.
JToaso, president of tho Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railway company, was iu cash, and its
payment was not conditioned upon tho outiro
Amount being subscribed, but most of tho
othor drafts pore upon their faco tho follow-
ing: "Tho indorsement und presentation of
this draft is to bo a certificate that
the sum of $17,(XX) has been subscribed,
which will insure tho completion of tho
Texas building." Tho rosuit is that Mrs.
Tobin positively refuses to indorso any of
theso drafts for payment until phe is perfectly
satisfied tho entiro amount provided has been
subscribed. In this determination sho is cor-
rect, and whenever those drafts are presented
for payment tho parties having them to pay
may rest assured that the terms havo boon
complied with aud the entire amount sub-
scribed.
Rlauk drafts for $10 oach wero sent out by
Mr. Morse to a numbor of practicing attor-
neys of the supreme court, and tho following
have responded favorably:
Georgo N. Aldridgo, Jonathan Lane, IL P.

Mr. Morse requests in this connection that
all attorneys to whom drafts wero sent will
please return them at onco. whether signed or
unsignod. in order that thoir names may bo
checked off, proper credits given to those who
generously subscribed and other namos bo
substituted for those who declined to contrib-
ute and drafts forwarded them.
In the meantime the work is being rapidly
pushed on tho Texas building in Chicago.
Captain C. S. Hardy, a gentleman well and
favorably known ail over Texas, arrived this
morning from Chicago, and authorizes tho
statement that tho Texas building, 80x100,
is already sheathed and roofed in, and the
contractors aro now putting ou the staff
work. Ho says the building occupies what
he considers tho most commanding spot on
the world's fair grounds, and will, when com-
pleted, cornparo favorably with most all other
state buildings, and in architectural beauty
and design will surpass them all. This will be
welcome news to tho people of Texas, and
coming as it does from a source so reliable
may be depended on.

The Judges Will Decide To-Day~Ewell
Moore's Splendid Beoord.
New Yohk, March 26.—To-morrow's meet,
ing of judges of tha telegraphers' tournament
to settle undecided contests will make that in-
teresting contest an event of the past. The uni-
versal opinion is that the affair was conducted
upon a practical basis—the practical relation
of flash telegraphy to commercial press trans-
mission. Telegraphers who possessed a record
or were anxious to make one wore enterod
from various parts of tho country. Among
the latter was the winner of class "A." The
entries represented various commercial
and press associations, tho representative
of the Associated Press being Ewell Moore.
Ho was the only gontloman of tho many in
tho employ of this news distributing concern
who entered tho tournament. Mr, Moore has
boon working one of the leased wires of the
Associated Press at this ond of tho circuit, and
when the tournament was boing agitated de-
termined to enter it. He has boon confident
from the date of his entry that he would win
tho prize, and that confidence induced him to
request that he might stay here to lake
part in the contest before resuming work for
tho Associated Press in Chicago, where he
prefers to be, and for which city he will im-
mediately tako his departure. Moore was en-
tered in two classes, A and B, classes for mon
who had not competed in fi tournrment and
who had no record. Ho won Class A prize
without a shadow of a doubt as to his right
thereto. Class H was not decided last night.
Mr. Moore in this class sent abso-
lutely perfect Morse, and was so "marked" by
the judgos. Other men sent more words, but
had numerous errors, and if other awards of
the tournament can bo taken as a precedent
Moore will be awarded the prize in class B,
also for spood and perfection in transmission
for practical purposes. The representative of
the Associated Press will thus win first prize
in both classes in which he entered. If ho
doos not win first prize in claBS B he is on rec-
ord as the only absolutely perfect sender in
that class.
Ewell Moore wns born in Mount Sterling,
Ky., November 23,1838. Ho was educated
principally at tho state normal school at
Bowling Green and learned telegraphy in
1874, After working through tho west ho en-
tered the service of tho Associated Press ot
Kansas City, Mo., July 28, 1890. Sinco that
tune ho lias filled positions in tho Chicago and
Now York ofticos where his work has beon
thoroughly appreciated. He has dis-
tinguished himself on several occasions
in tho service of the association
notably at the republican, demooratic and
people's party national couvontions, Home-
stead riots, world's fair dedication and Cleve-
land's inauguration.
In appearance Moore is tall, straight as an
arrow and exceedingly graceful in manner
and address. His face is lightod by a pair of
piercing dark eyes. He is handsome and in-
telligent. Taken altogether he is a credit
to himself and to the service.
Bei'clair Notes.
Bkholaik, Tex., March 26.—Tho weather
tho past week has been delightful, and farm-
ing operations havo been pushed with vigor.
Corn is all up and cotton planting goes briskly
on.
A good rain would provo of great benefit
now.
Cattle are in fine condition.
Quite a number of farmors aro experiment-
ing this year with outs. Tho crop at presont
promises a big yield.
Up the Trin ty to Dallaa.
Oakwoods, Tex., March 26.—The stoamboat
H. A. Harvoy, jr., passed up the Trinity yestar-
rday atlOo'clock, a. m., bound for Dallas. I'he
rivor had fallen considerably, which enabled
the Harvoy to pass under the International and
Great Northern railroad bridgo without turn-
ing tho spau. She was drawing eighteen inches
of water. Steamboating on the Trinity river
is liko making a crop, it takes plenty of rain
to be successful.
A wonderful hen is owned by a man in
Waterloo. It is as expert as a cat in catching
rats. It teases them awhile and then releases
them. Tho owner of this remarkable fowl has
obsorved that no rat ovor comes tho second
time within reach of its claws.
