The matter 'went over until this after-
moon.
Mr. Vidor said the bids for improving
the Nottingham road were due yester-
day, but none bad been received. Mr.
Stuart Wheeler was present, and when
Mr. Vidor tunned his optics upon him Mr.
Wheeler remarked that he had not sub-
mitted a bid, not because he 'was afraid of
the county 'warrants, for 'he believed they
were all right, but he wanted to know
whether he would have 'the use of the
“'Susie” railroad in getting his -shell down
the island. He suggested that the mat-
ter stand over until the suit pending had
been decided. Mr. Howth, another con-
tractor, explained that his position was
the same as Mr. Wheeler’s, so the time
for receiving bids was extended until
July 14.
In accordance with the opinion of the
state superintendent of education, it -was
'held that the school districts sought to be
segregated at Willisville and North 'Gal-
veston were not so segregated on account
of the adverse vote in the Clear ~
district.
Adjourned until 5 o’clock 'this
noon.

eral superintendent of nine International

ta Fe Road-.
Mr. W. A. Tuley, big chief ’of the San-
ta Fe tribe of hustler’s, wlas hiaird alt work
■this morning getting up adveTtisinig mat-
ter for a. big excursion to Galveston on
July 4th. The road offers a $5 rounC Crip
date from all points on the Slanltia Fe road
in Texas and the Indian territory north
of McGreg’otr, and west of Copperas Cove.
Lower rates will be given from all other
stations. Tickets for this excursion will
be on sale July 4 only, and will be good to
return until July 7.
The Santa Fe will also sell local excur-
sion tickets .between all stations on its
line on July 3 and 4, limited ho return July

NOTES ANDPERSONALS.
H. A. Johnson, the Katy passenger
agent, is hustling tod'a.y for sleeping ac-
commodations on the Katiy trains bound
for Kansas City, St. Louis and points be-
yond. He says the travel is phenomenal-
ly heavy. .
Homer Eads, commercial agent at San
Antonio for the Missouri Pacific, and J.
“AVaddy” Tate, commercial • agent at
Houston for the Cotton Belt, are in town
today. They made a" tour of the business
houses in the Strand and the railroad of-
fices in Tremont 'Street this morning, tell-
ing the latest good stories1 fhiey h'ad heard,
and in’cidentally the mian'ifold advantages
Galveston merchants can avail them-
selves of by routing freight over their
respective roads.
Ed Somers, traveling agent of the San-
ta Fe fruit and refrigerator line, is in
town looking after business. He goes to
Hitchcock, Alvin and other fruit cento?s
this afternoon to see how things are go-
ing.
From present ir-dications Galveston will
not be depopulated by reason of the Chi-
cago cor.ve: tion. All the passenger agents
are anxious to book passengers for the
windy city conclave, and offer one fare
for the round trip, but so far there have
been few tickets bought. A large crowd
will go from Texas, but only a small num-
ber from this city.

IDR. FLY’S BOOM.
Austin 'Cor. Houston Post.
Dr. Fly of Galveston’, when approached
in regard to his possibilities as a guber-
natorial candidate on the sound money
ticket, hooted the subject. He says he
has no such aspirations, and that he only
desires to fight for the principles which
he ’believes to be right and Democratic.
There is no doubt, however, that he will
be brought forward when the clans gather
in Waco. The sound money men on that
occasion expect a large cro wd to be in
attendance. They claim that the meeting
here was so sternly attended, because the
people who advocate the principles they
have promulgated were ’in doubt about
the- step that 'would be taken.
NORTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS.
'Raleigh, iN. C., June 25.—The Demo-
'craitic state convention met at noon today
and was called to order by 'State Chair-
man Raul, who .congraitulated the party
that 915 counties’ were represented and not
a single contest. F. Kluttz was mqde
temporary chairman, and after a forilliaut
speech and the appointment of commit-
tees, the convention took a recess till 2
o’clock.
It is anybody’s race for governor. Judge
Clark could have it if he would take it.
The names most favorably mentioned are
F. B. Watson, R. A. Doughton
Judge McRae, in the order named.
APPEALS TO* UNCLE SAM.‘
Lord .Salisbury Asks Mr. Olney to
Iterpose With Venezuela.
New York, N. Y., June 25—A dispatch
to the Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Olney when he returns to’ the
state department will receive from Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassa-
dor, a request from the British govern-
ment to use his good offices with Venezu-
ela. to secure the release from imprison-
ment of the crown surveyor, Mr. Harri-
son, who is reported ,to have been arrested
by Venezuelan police while engaged in
constructing a road connecting the Bari-
ma and Ouyuni rivers in disputed Guiana
territory.
An official knowledge of the arrest has
not yet been received alt the Venezuelan
legation. The Venezuelans, however,
find 'satisfaction in the information that
Great Britain will appeal to Secretary
Olney, as indicating that it is not consid-
ered of so serious a nature as at first ap-
Dreherded. They place the whole blame
on Mr. Joseph Cbamberlain’'S aggressive,
colonial policy. They point to the fact
that under date of December 9, 1894, they
complained to Secretary Gresham of the
proposed road upon which Surveyor Har-
rison was employed, and called attention
to the faict that as the route lay in Venez-
uelan territory a conflict would be un-
avoidable.
This appeal was effective for the time
being, 'the road was abandoned until last
year, when the secretary of state for
the colonies sent to British Guiana his
Call for the construction of the Barima
road.

Displays Whisky in His W’indow Among
Deadly Poisons.
New Yortc Journal.
It seems scarcely wise for a man in 'the
state of Kentucky to declare that whisky
is poison.
But there is a reckless individual in
Nicholasville, Ky., who has done it, and
done it in a bold, disagreeable sort of
way, too.
This person’s name, which is apt to be
an anathema in Kentucky henoefortlb, is
James W. Gordon. He is in the drug
business in Ni'cholasvil'le. Just how long
his neighbors and fellow townsmen will
encourage him in the pursuit of trade is
very'difficult to say.
Mt. Gordon has gratuitously “rubbed it
in” to his compatriots on the somewhat
dangerous score of 'whisky. He has fitted
up in the front of his drug store what he
calls a poison window, and a bottle of the
corn juice dear to the Kentucky heart is
there.
'The 'window is a grewsome 'thing. It is
a whole course of lessons to the man who
wants to commit suicide. In the middle,
white and grinning, is a skull. Clutched
in its teeth is the deadly cigarette, an ash
clinging at its tip. At the right of the
■skull is the bottle filled with the good
corn juice of the Kentuckian’s daddies.
At its left is a bottle of port wine. Scat-
tered about in ‘the foreground are cards,
dice and poker Chips.
The rest of 'the window is filled with
■small jars containing liquid poisons amd
papers upon which are heaped powders
enough of various sorts to end the
troubles of a regiment. Every article is
labeled, from the cigarette to the prussic
acid, and to prevent any possible misun-
derstanding of his meaning Mr. Gordon
has fronted the whole deadly collection
with a startling sign whidh reads: “Every
article in this window is poison.”
'What makes ,the druggist’s venture
more inexplicable is that he is a voter in
Kentucky and carries no life insurance.
His pharmacy may be perfectly correct,
but his lack of policy is pitiful.
manded, adding: “The policy of non-re-
sistance pursued has not been success-
ful in settling our disputes with Vene-
zuela. No other great power would for a
moment have stood the series of attacks
of the Venezuelan soldiers.”
Jilson: “Is Jubbs sick or travelling-?”
Jabson: “Neither. What makes you think
so?” Jilson: “I’ve been looking out of the
window 'the last 10 minutes and I haven’t
seen 'him playing a hose on his lawn.”—
Roxbury Gazette.
COLORADO SILVER PARTY.
Denver, Colo., June 25.—’Seven hun-
dred delegates ito- the Colorado 'State eon-
venrion of the silver party, which will
convene in this city this afternoon are
already on the ground. The' officer's of the
conven'tiiion will be chosen by delegates in
open meeting. No- slate will be prepared
for any action of the convention. Sev-
enty delegates to the St. Louis national
convention will be elected, and resolu-
tions 'will be adopted indlorsing Senator
Henry M. Teller as a preisidential candi-
date, and in the event that he is not suc-
cessful. favoring his return to' the United
States senate. The delegation in St. Louis
will probably include such men as Will-
iam Byrnes, Hon. James B. Belford and
I. N. St‘evens.
Denver, Colo., June 25.—Owing to the
non-arrival of rc’any delegates who are
■coming in on the late morning itrains, the
convention of the national 'Silver party
was not called ito order at 10, 'according
to the preiaWanged program. Ex-Sena-
tor Tabor has been elected s,.s temporay
chairman.
The state silver convention was called
to order at 11,’1I5 a. m. by I. N. Stevens,
with 710 delegates present. Mr. Stevens
explained the purpose of the convention
and congratuated the counties on sending
■to Denver delegates to a meeting “at
'Which there is no pie counter in sight.”
He expressed the hope that the Chicago
convention would .nominate a man whose
position on silver is unequiivoca'l and sug-
gested Henry iM. Teller as the ideal can-
didate. Mention of Teller’s name set
the convention wild and the enthusiasm
was continued over the names of Sibley,
Bia'in?, Blackburn, Morgan and the south-
ern free silver senators. The convention
elected ex-United>States senator H. A.
W. Tabor temporary 'chairman and David
Day and Mrs. Sue Hall as secretaries.
■After aippointing committees the conven-
tion took a recess until 2 o’clock.

BJG RAILIROA'D DEAL.
Syndicate to O wn a Line From Atlantic
to Ba'cific.
Chicago, I'll., June 25.—(The Evening
Dost has a sensational piece of railway
news today, to the effect that Henry
V'iteard, backed by a large number of
Euro'pea'n and1 American capitalists/has
about completed a deal which will give
them a through line from the Atlantia to
the Pacific sea board. The intention of
the syndicate is to buy the Northern
Pacific road, then the Baltimore and
'Ohio, which is to be sold at receiver’s
sale.
The syndicate is said 'already to have
practically 'obtained control of the Chi-
cago and Great Western road, which will
be the connecting link between the Balti-
more and ‘Ohio and the Northern Pacific.
It is also said that the apparent antagon-
ism [between Adams’ reorganization com-
mittee of the Northern Pacific and Vil-
lard was only assumed, and that now
when the scheme has been all but ac-
complished a re'Conei'liiatj'O'n has taken
place.

COURT NOTES.
In the county coiurt yesterday
noon the jury in the case of John Mc-
Carthy vs. Mrs. R. A. Mayer returned a
■verdict for $29 in favor of the plaintiff.
<he suit was unon. a note for $89 given’ by
Mrs. Mayer to a couple of lightning rod
agents, under the impression that she
’was giving them a receipt. The note
turned up in the hands of an innocent pur-
chaser. The lightning rod is nothing more
■or less tha n a wire rope with a jute eord
in the center. 'What on earth jute has to
do with lightning is not apparent.
Porter Hayes, who was indicted by the
last grand, jury for theft, and whose
bond was fixed at $500, was before Judge
Stewart yesterday evening on a writ of
habeas corpus, praying for a reduction of
bail. The 'bond was reduced to $^00,
■which Hayes promptly gave.

Easter Hart, abusing and insulting;
guilty; fined $10 and costs.
Emma Jones, cursing and abusing;
guilty; fined ’$10 and costs.
Mose Cage, assault and battery; con-
tinued to June 26.
Wallis, Landes & Co., and all the'ir em-
ployes, are feeling proud 'today. They are
never demonstrative, but in a quiet, con-
servative 'way they are shaking hands
'with 'their friends, 'thanking them for
their congratulations and good wishes
and acknowledging that it is true.
When any one asks whait it all means,
the questioner is informed that the first
shipment over the new Gulf and Inter-
state railroad is made by Wallis, Landes
& Co.
Here is the order that explains the busi-
ness :
“Galveston, June 25, 1896—Texas Star
Flour Mills, Gentlemen: Please ship to.
J.. Lee & Co., Kirbyville, for our ac-
count, via Gulf and Interstate,
12 bbls Tidal Wave,
192 48R) sacks Tidal'Wave,
40 241b sacks Tidal Wave,
120 48Ib slacks Sea Fairy,
80 241b sacks Sea Fairy.
“Yours truly,
“Wallis, Landes & Co.”
The rate from Galveston to Kirbyville
via the Southern Pacific and its connec-
tions has been 25 cents per 100 pounds on
flour. What rate will be charged on this
shipment via the Interstate is not known.
Wallis, Landes & Co., it is understood,
a'sked Messrs. Featherstone & Winnie,
the contractors for the building of the In-
terstate road, if they would handle a ship-
\jnent of flour, and whether they would
guarantee a rate as gooid as the one that
has prevailed heretofore. Getting satis-
factory .assurances they touted the ship-
ment via the Interstate, and it will gio
forward tomorrow.
Mr. Featherstone, when questioned by
a Tribune reporter this afternoon, said he
wias not in a position to go into dietails re-
garding 'transfer arrangements and
freight rates, as the toad would not be
'turned over to the railroad company until
July 2 or 3.
“We, as railroad contractors,” isiaid ho,
“have simply accepted a shipment of one
car- lo’ad of flour from Wallis, Landes &
Co., and have agreed to talpe some local
freight for Winnie Atom B. Blum & Co.
and Jockusch, Davidson & Co. The
freight will leave the Galveston .side of
the bay at 2.30 tomorrow afternoon, and
the train will pull out from Bolivar at
3.30. We will use one of thie transfer
boats of O’Connor & S'rqoot. Th’at is as
far as I think I can staite alt the present
time. As soon as we perfect some mat-
ters th’at are now pending, I will be in a
pois'ition to say more.” '
Kirbyville is 50 miles north of Beau-
mont. From Galveston to’. Beaumont via
Houst on is 133 miles, via’the Interstate it
is. 70. so it is re'adily seen whlat a Slaving
in freight rates the Inteiistate will make
for the eastern Texas territory.
TULEY’S' W—S.
His Pa thetic Appeal to a New Reporter
for The Tribune.
“Huh,” said Chief Clerk Adams of tlie
general passenger office of the Santa Fe
road this morning; “so you’re a new re-
porter! And you want news? Well, there
is only one piece of neiws afloat and ithlat is
'that Tuley, Tuley of Dallas, is in town,
accompanied by his w—s.”
“Hold on!” shloote'd a big man, who was
at a table.writing. “Don’t isiay that; slay
anything you wish about me; call me any-
thing you like, but don’t slay a word about
w—s.”
“But,” stammered the new reporter,
“I’d like to—”
“Yes, I know,” said the big man, sav-
agely. “I know you’d like to work in all
those old chestnuts about wind chlairmers,
breeze provokers, Peffer juniors, and a
lot of other stuff, but I tell you I won’t
have it. Don’t, I say. Don’it! you hear
The new reporter confes’ed he did, and
tlie big mian seemed somewhat mollified.
Then, getting a trifle reminiscent, he con-
tinued: “Every newspaper man in Dal-
las, Denison, Fort Worth, Sherman,
Greenville, Austin, Palestine, Waco, San
Antonio, Houston, and, in fact, every
town in Texas of any account has had a
crack at these w—s. They were all fun-
ny in theid minds. Now, I’m favorably
disposed toward you, and I w'ant you to
make a reputation for yourself. If you
do as I say, your name will go th'under-
ng down the corridors of time as the only
reporter in Texas who never wrote about
Tuley’s w—s.”
The young reporter reached for his hat,
shook Mr. Tuley warmly by the hand,
■thanked him for pointing out the straight
and harrow path, looked admiringly at
the w—s, alnd said, “au revoir,” but not
“good bye.”
