Universal Railroad Consolidation.
[New York Times.]
The railroads connecting Chicago with St.
Paul and Omaha are at war, and the weapous
which they use against one another are the
usual ones of competition in rates. It is not
easy to get at the real motives .and inciting
causes of a contest of this kind. The constant
tendency of railroad management is toward
combinations and alliances for mutual protec-
tion of competing lines against each other; in
other words, for the destruction of competi-
tion. It will not be long before the principal
lines between the Northwest and Chicago will
be united under some kind of a compact for
the maintenance of the races and distribu-
tion of the business according to ratios agreed
upon. If the present tendency goes on the
railroads of the country will be combined into
several systems, covering different sections.
Those of the Northwest this side of the Rocky
mountains will be operated as a single sys-etn,
either through an alliance of lines or an ac-
tual union under one control. Those of the
Southwest will be similarly combined. The
same process will work more gradually in the
Atlantic States of the South, and the Pacific
coast will have two if not three systems. Then
will develop a larger alliance, or a confedera-
tion of systems, iu one grand whole. Along
with the tendency toward consolidation and
combination goes another toward tile concen-
tration of control into fewer hands. There is
growiug up on the face of the country an
enormous confederacy of corporations engaged
in the business of transportation and commer-
cial interchange. The day may come when its
affairs will be administered by & general coun-
cil. which shall control its wider relations and
direct its larger operations, while the subor-
dinate interests of the separate systems are
managed by tlie local authorities." In such a
council a small coterie of enormously wealthy
magnates would have a controlling voice.
The power of such a confederation is some-
thing which can not be calculated, and which
can not be contemplated without a sort of
dread.
a most important discovery has just been
made in the neighborhood of Poitiers, in
France, where an entire Gallo-Romau town
has been unearthed. It contains a temple 114
yards in length by 70 yards in breadth, baths
occupying two hectares, a theater the stage of
which alone measures 90 yards, streets, houses
and other buildings covering a space of nearly
seven hectares, or about 17 acres. The excava-
tions are being continued with further success,
disclosing more edifices, sculpture in the very-
best style and in good preservation—dating, it
is thought, from the second century—and a
quantity of iron, bronze and earthen articles.
M. Lisch. the inspector of historic monuments,
is enthusiastic over this discovery, and de-
clares that the town is a little Pompeii in the
center of France.

There is no little trouble among Methodists
here just now growing out of the extraordinary
difficulty which the Committee on Entertain-
ment meets in finding places for all their
guests.
The colored people are in the cotton fields,
and, contrary to expectation, propose to re-
main, so far as can be seen at this date. The
result is that many families will not promise
to assist the church committee, and some who
at one time agreed to recei ve guests have seut
the committee word that they can not possibly
keep their engagements owing to want of
cooks. The committee are in distress, especial-
ly as the lxmrding-house and hotel accommo-
dations of Bryan are vary limited. Under such
circumstances, all whose duty does not compel
their attendance will doubtless remain at home

Commenting on The News published inter-

lands, the commissioner of the land office says:
The professor's theory is right from the stand-
point that these lands are to be devoted to the free
schools regardless of the future interests of the
State, but we are compelled to look to the State's
development, t9 which I regard as fatal the idea of
putting these lands into money by selliug them in
large bodies to capitalists. I would much rather
see taxation begin before we sell to capitalists.

Laredo, December 7.—While the American
people are complaining of railroad aggressions,
it is well to consider the import of a carload
of freight which arrived from Monterey, Mex-
ico, to-day, consigned to the city of Chihua-
hua, consisting of 12,000 pounds of dulce, a
low grade of Mexican sugar. By the land
transportation it is about 000 miles from the
city of Monterey to the city of Chihuahua,
vet it is found cheaper to ship the sugar to
Fort Worth, Texas, thence to El Paso and
thence to Chihuahua, a distance of 1552 miles,
more than a thousand miles of which is through
Texas. Sugar iu Mexico, of home production,
is a dull sale at 3 cents a pound. The feeling
among tho masses in that country is becoming
daily more and more in favor of the abolish-
ment of tho tariff duties between the two coun-
tries, and nothing impresses them more than
the want of a market for their surplus sugars.
It is reported that the new coal from the
mine near the Sanchez station, on the Mexican
National road, is not proving a success in get-
ting up steam on locomotives. This mine is

noon yesterday the mercury registered 80°

freezing cold. Ice half an iuch thick has
formed, water pipes burst, and the cold winds
were piercing.
Daniel Jones, of Paris, has been appointed

The east-bound Texas and Pacific train was

The City Council, mayor and two invited
citizens met at the City hall to-night to dis-
cuss amendments to the city charter.. Tweutv
sections of the charter were read. Section 3,
pertaining to the election of city officers, was
the subject of much discussion, but no
determination was arrived at. Five aldermen
favored that the city officers be elected by the
council, and two aldermen, the mayor and the
two private citizens favored election by the
citizens. An amendment to section 2 extending
the city limits so as to take in the newly in-
corporated town of East Dallas, was agreed to.
All the stock has been subscrilied necessary
to build the new opera-house. The indications
are that it will be built on the lot adjoining
the Grand Windsor hotel on the west, and

race was run yesterday between Shoo Fly,

Gray, by Sandy Waltou, aud Lilly, owned by
Lem. Barton, of Calvert, out of Double Farn
River, by Sandy Walton. The race was a mile
dash, which was easily won by Shoo Fly, com-
ing out at least 100 vai ds ahead. Time—1.43.
At one part of the race Lilly ran on Shoo Fly
and locked, but as there was a slight down
grade iu the track it gave Shoo Fly the advan-
tage, as Lilly was not strong enough to hold
her own on the down grade. The entire evening
was occupied running pony races, which were
very interesting, being witnessed by several
hundred people.
Cotton is nearly all gathered.
For the past few days we have been having

EASTLAND.

[Special Telegram to The News.]
Eastland, December 7.—After much trou-
ble iu obtaining a jury, the case of the State
vs. J. D. Martin, charged with assault with
intent to rob the Texas Express agent at Ran-
ger on April 21st, last, was begun. Four wit-
nesses were examined, aud the case was given
to the jury at dark. A verdict was reached at
10 o'clock, declaring Mr. Martin guilty, and
fixed his sentence at five years in the penitenti-
ary, the same as one given Mr. Gillette
iu the same case. Mr. Martin is a
young man of good appearance, and
it will be remembered was griven iuto
custody by his uncle. The testimony was
clear as to his identity and connection; in fact,
manager of the attempt. Although the State
announced that it dropped tho charge of rob-
bery, as there was no proof that the nine pack-
ages, said to contain $405, were valuable.
The cases against Hall, Armstrong and
Hayes, for theft of forty cattle, in which de-

box-car to the extreme end of the side-track
so as to obstruct the main liuo. About 2 o'clock
this morning a south-bound freight train, th©
obstruction not being noticed, struck it, over-
turning the engine and six cars on the track.
No one was seriously hurt. Tho wrecker passed

hardly probable that tho track will be cleared
in time to admit of either tho north or the
south-bound passenger trains passing on time.

Austin correspondent, in your issue of the 3d
instant, referring to the contest for presiden t
pro tempore of the State Senate, mentions
Senator John Young Gooch, of this district,
as a candidate for the position. The matter
having been brought to Mr. Gooch's attention,
that gentleman declares that he has not been
nor will he bo a candidate. He favors the
selection of Senator Houston, of tho Bexar
district, whom he considers an accomplished
parliamentarian, a man of fine executive abili-
ty and of strict impartiality. Senator Gooch
says that Mr. Terrell does not aspire to the
position; for, although the senator from Travis
is distinguished in most of the acquirements
necessary to an able legislator and statesman,
he is not an expert parliamentarian. Referring
to another portion of the same special, the
senator stated that his views on railroad
legislation were in perfect harmony with
the Democratic platform adopted by
the last State convention at Galveston. It is a
matter which, in this county, is beyond dis-
pute, and of the truth of which your corre-
spondent here is personally cognizant, that the
large and very flattering Republican vote
polled for Mr. Gooch in this his home count}',
was given to him entirely without regard to
what his views on railroad legislation might
be and in spite of the fact of his unflinching
democracy. The Republicans who voted for
him did so because of their appreciation of liis
services to the district and State during his
Erevious term in the Senate, influenced, too.
y their personal regard for him as a man.
Their kindly feelings toward him caused them
to give him their support in spite of his de-
mocracy.
Colonel Jos. Atnson, one of Palestine's best-
known and esteemed citizens, met with a
hearty welcome home Wednesday, after seven
months absence in Europe.

Self, were arrested in Eastland yesterday for
stealing horses in Shackelford county, and
while on tho wav to Albany Howard made his

New Orleans, December 7.—Messrs. Walter
Clifford, A. D. Campbell, James R. Scott,
Frank S. Bond, Charles O. Baird and Wm. E.
Baker, directors of the Texas and Pacific rail-
road, are in tho city to-day. These gentlemen
attended the recent meeting at Marshall, Texas,
and came to New Orleans over tho New Or-
leans Pacific, which road they inspected en
route, traveling by daylight for that purpose.
They express themselves as highly satisfied
with the road and the business outlook.
Clarence A. Seward and F. E. Whitfield, of
New York, counsel for the Texas Express com-
pany, filed to-day a bill in equity iu the United
States Circuit Court for au injunction against
tho Texas and Pacific flailwaj* company. From
the bjU it appo&rs that complainants have
been doing au express business over the de-
fendants' railroad, and were notified, on Octo-
ber 31, lSii2, that unless they paid $2000 per
pionth their privileges would cease on Decem-
ber 1. 1882. They claimed that the rate de-
manded is exhorbitant and ask for an injunc-
tion preventing defendants from interfering
with their privileges, aud thoy ask the court to
fix a reasonable rat© of compensation. A re-
straining order issued aud defendants
were ordered to show cause why the injunc-
tion asked for should not be issued. Kennard,
Ho%e and Prentiss represent the railroad com-
pany, and the matter wil! be argued at an ear-
ly date before Judge Billings.
This morning Messrs. T. W. Peirce, Charles
Crocker, R. S. Spofford, W. E. Brown, aud
General Butterfield, officials of the Southern
Pacific road, arrived in this city on a special
train via tho Big J. on route to Texas. Presi-
dent Peirce was interviewed, and said that by
January 1 the Southern Pacific route would be
opeu from New Orleans to San Francisco, as
very near all the difficult work had been com-
pleted. Speakiug of the terminal facilities of
the Southern Pacific road at this poiut, Mr.
Peirce said that it was probable that & line of
tt&eainskip* would be built and operated in con-
nection with tho road from this citv to Liver-
pool. The plan has teen discussed by the offi-
cials, and doubtless will be placed in practice,
as it was ascertained from another source that
tho steamships will have a capa-
city of from 5000 to 7000 tons
and will make the round trip from New Or-
leans to Liverpool. The ships on their return
trip will bring in emigrants, and the fare from
Liverpool to points in California will be fixed
as low as twenty-five or thirty dollars. Cars
will be built adapted to carrying wheat one
way and immigrants the other. Mr. Peirce
and party spent most of the day in examining
certain property hero and looking into the
terminal facilities of the port. The entire
party will leave to-morrow via the Star and
Crescent route in their special car, Mr. Peirce
going as far as El Paso, and Mr. Crocker and
others of the gentlemen continuing, the jour-
ney on to San Francisco.
The British steamship Carmona, Captain J.
A. Halcrovv, cleared by Messrs. De Wollf &
Hammond to-day, for Liverpool, carries by far
the largest cargo ever taken from this port.
She has 10,361 bales of cotton, weighing 5,112,-
178 pounds, or an average of 494 pounds per
bale; 12,000 bushels of wheat, and 2650 piecen
of pipe staves; in all equal to 11,131 bales
of heavy average cotton. This steamer
is 2447 tons net, and 3714 tons
gross. As the Carmona is loaded to the depth
of twenty-five feet three inches, her passage
through the jetties will be awaited with inter-
est, as tending to settle conclusively the much
disputed point as to the depth of water that
can be carried out of this port into the gulf.
No one here at all familiar with the matter
expects the steamer to encounter any difficulty.

rCSTY-S2VENTH CONGRESS—
SECOND ANNUAL SESSiON.
Prospects for a River and Harbor Bill
—The Tobacco Tax Bill—Personal.
[Special Telegram to Tlie News.]
Washington, December 7.—The Commerce
Committee meets to-morrow, and the members
are determined to prepare a river and harbor
bill. Mr. Reagan arrived this morning, and
stated that so far as he was concerned he was
prepared and willing to begin to-morrow mak-
ing a bill. The majority of the committee ex-
press these views. Those who are familiar
with a river and harbor bill have come to
the conclusion that President Arthur or his
cabinet know nothing about the bill or its mer-
its. There is a resolution now offered compet-
ing the secretary of war to submit to the com-
mittee the money on hand and money expend-
ed at specific places, which will show that
where work has been done and much of the
appropriation expended, that these places can
not be included in the president's objections,
viz., that there is much of the last appropria-
tions unexpended in many places, but none of
the money has been expended in other places.
Nearly all of it has been used. The committee
will prepare a bill and doubtless pass it. Sen-
ators Coke and Maxey will do all they can to
get it through the Senate.
The indications are that Mr. Kelley's bill to
abolish the tax on tobacco will not pass this
session. The bill, if passed, would make a re-
duction of taxes of over $4,700,000: then there is
a bill pending in the Senate to abolish tax on
matches, proprietary medicines and bank
checks, which, if a law, would further reduce
taxation $23,000,000. Many will oppose Mr.
Kelley's bill, as they hold that tobacco is a
luxury and can better bear taxation than
other articles classed as necessities. They
think that the effort to remove the tax from to-
bacco is calculated to prevent or delay tariff
reduction and regard a reduction of import
duties as more important than the abolition of
the tobacco tax.
Major Ochiltree is exp ected here to-morrow.
Major W. C. Duxbury is here.

Senate.
Washington, Dec-ember 7.—Messrs. Voor-
hees, Sherman, McDill, Vest, Ingails, Chilcott
and Miller (of New York) presented a petition
for the passage of a bill to increase the pen-
sions of one-armed and one-legged soldiers.
Referred.
Bills were introduced by Mr. Brown to re-
peal the internal revenue" act of 1860, and all
laws and parts of laws enlarging, extending or
amending. Referred.
Mr. Vest offered a resolution, which was
adopted, directing the secretary of war to send
to the Senate copies of any contracts made by
the interior department regarding the Yellow
Stone National park, or any part thereof, to
any person or company with the privilege of
the erection of hotels and telegraph lines and
running stages therein.
Mr. Uuson, of Texas, introduced a bill to
rectify the title of the United States to the site
of the military post at El Paso, Texas. Re-
ferred.
At the close of an hour Mr. Beck called up
his resolution for investigation into political
assessments during the last campaign, and
said that, having but little personal knowledge
on the subject, and thinking discussion in ad-
vance of the ascertainment of facts unprofit-
able, he would content himself at present with
asking a vote on the resolution.
Mr. Hale thought that if conorct in the last
campaign was to be investigated by the Sen-
ate, the investigation ought to extend to both
parties. •
Therefore, he offered a substitute setting
forth the names of members of the Congres-
sional Executive Committee and both parties
reciting allegations that the Democratic com-
mittee had levied contributions on liquor-
dealers, brewers and other associations, and
directing the Committee on Judiciary to in-
vestigate these charges, as well as those made
against the Republican committee. Mr. Beck
said the substitute proposed to investigate
matters over which Congress has no control,
and was evidently to embarrass the legitimate
legislation proposed iu the original resolution.
After a brier discussion, the substitute was
ordered printed, and at the suggestion of Mr.
Harris the matter went over till to-morrow.
At 2 o'clock th9 Senate resumed considera-
tion of the bankruptcy bill.
Mr Garland spoke in advocacy of the bill as
prepared by the Judiciary Committee, and then
some committee amendments reported by Mr.
Ingails were agreed to.
Mr. Vest moved to strike out the provision
that tho man who fails for twenty days to dis-
charge the attachment agaiust his property in
«i civil suit shall be deemed bankrupt. Agreed
to.
The secretary of war was directed to furnish
estimates of the Mississippi River commission
for the work of improving the river during the
next fiscal year. Time was extended for filing
claims in the United States service. Adjourned.
House.
Washington. December 7. — Mr. Kelley.
chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means, reported a concurrent resolution for
printing 20,000 copies of the report of the tariff
commission. They passed also a resolution
setting apart Wednesday, December 13, for
consideration of certain bills on the calendar,
previously reported from the committee. He
stated that the bills referred to related ex-
clusively to the administration of the law. The
resolution was adopted.
Mr. Haskell, of Kansas, presented a memorial
from the lion-Mormon people of Utah. Re-
ferred.
The House then went into committee of the
whole on the Indian appropriation bill. The
total amount of the appropriation provided for
in the bill is $5,208,999, being $274,200 less than
appropriations for the cuixent year and
$1,510,776 less than estimates. Mr. Ryan, of
Kansas, who has charge of the bill, explained
that the reductions were principally in appro-
priations for subsistence. In explaining the
reduction of Indian inspectors from five to
three, he said the committee based its action on
the suggestion of the secretary of the interior—
that if allowed two additional agents he could
dispense with two inspectors.
On motion of Mr. Haskell, of Kansas, an
amendment was adopted for the insertion in
patents authorized to be issued to certain indi-
vidual Indians by the treaty of 1809 with the
Sioux Indians, a provision that tho lands ob-
tained by that treaty shall remain forever in-
alienable and not subject to taxation.
After discussion the committee arose and
reported the Indian bill to the House, and it
was passed.
The House again went into committee of
the whole, Mr. Dunnell (of Minnesota) in the
chair, on the state of the Uniou.
After some further unimportant business the
House adjourned.

Star-B.outn Trial.
Washington, D. C., December 7.—In tho
Supreme Court of the district criminal term
this morning, all jurors summoned being in
attendance, the district attorney announced
the government ready in the case against
Thomas Brady and others. Mr. Iugersoll sub-
mitted a motion for a continuance of the case
ou account of illness of Stephen W. Dorsey.
Judge Wylie overruled the motion. Mr.
Iugersoll excepted to the ruling aud asked for
time to go to his client's room and procure his
signature to a paper, for which purpose a recess
was granted.
At noou Wilson rrcd a long affidavit, sworn
to aud signed by all Hie defendants, setting
out that they can not go to trial at the present
term, because of the act of officers of the gov-
ernment in endeavoriug to influence opinion
against thom and intimidate and coerce wit-
nesses, jurors and officers of the court; reciting
the arrest of Dickson, the removal from office
of Henry, Ainger, et al., for the avowed rea-
son of being in sympathy with the defendants,
and expressing belief that in the selection of
talesmen influences prejudicial to the defend-
ants would be set at work, and that the ap-
pointment of McMichael as marshal is part of
that scheme. The allidavit also charges that
J udgo Wylie is so biased and prejudiced against
the defendants that he cau not fairly aud
impartially administer tho law, and con-
cludes by requesting a continuance of
the case until next term. Judga
Wylie said tho paper was an insult to tue
court. Bliss compared the proceedings with
the Tweed trial. Ingersoll disclaimed any in-
tention to offer insult, whereupon Judge ^Wy?
lie said: 4'Well, you may file the paper, but 1.
shall hear no more about it."
A motion for a continuance of the case on
account of Dorsey's illness was refused, and the
motion of Wilson, calling for a bill of particu-
lars, overruled.
Attorney-General Brewster occupied a seat
in court.
Various preliminary motions made on the
last trial were renewed, and rulings then made
were repeated.
This brought the case down to the selection
of a jury.
The Diclrson Case—Jeannetto Court*
Washington, December 7.—In the Police

immaterial evidence, Henry A. Bo wen testified
he had known Dickson casually sinoe 1874; had
a conversation with him at Driver's restau-
rant, on August 3 last, at 7 o'clock. Cameron
was not present. He denied emphatically hav-
ing offered Dickson $2500 for the right to in-
fluence his vote in the Star-route trial; also
said he was not authorized by the department
of justice to make any proposition in relation
to the trial and had made none. This finished
the examination.

PSRENT DIRECTIONS.
Butter and Cheese Association.
Milwaukee, December 7,—At the second
day's session of the National Butter, Cheese
and Eggs association , P. Kuleshoff, a delegate
of the Russian department of agriculture was
introduced. The gentleman is making a tour
of this country for th® purpose of investigating
the American system of agriculture. Jona-
than Porrion, of Illinois, addressed the con-
vention iu regard to hay and grass and tht
queston of butter flavoring, which he consid*
ered due to the kind of grass fed. The
great reputation of Pennsylvania butter
for fine flavor was owing to the grasses
of that region containing benzoic acid.
The time would come when butter would b«
flavored artificially. Messrs. Seamon, of New
York; Harris and Stratford, Canada- Sey-
mour, of New York: Boutelle, of St. Louis;
Hoard, of Fort Atkins, and Burrell, of Little
Falls, N. Y., delivered addresses upon topics
interesting for the butter, cheese and egg
trade, and the following dispatch from tho
Manhattan Hay and Produce exchange was
read: 41 Our intelligent friends in convention
assembled, representing tbe dairy and kindred
interests, must not forget that hay and straw,
well cured and cared for, make better butter,
nicer cheese, cleaner eggs, brighter homBs,
happier faces and larger bank accounts than
can be expected otherwise. Accept our cordial
greeting. Your interests are identical with our
country's, and both are only beginning to be
developed."
At the afternoon session reports of various
committees were read and discussed.
Thomas Higgins, of Cheshire, England,
spoke at length on the excellency of exhibits in
the Dairy fair, and the increasing kind feeling
between the commercial interests of the two
countries.
J. J. McDonald, of Philadelphia, was elected
president: and R. M. Little, or Iowa, secretary
of the National association; vice-presidents,
one from each State, to be named by State
delegations and submitted to the Executive
Committee. A grand ball in the evening
closed the second day's session. Owing to tht
extremely cold weather, the attendance was
small, and most delegates returned home on
the evening trains.
Destructive Fire—Wholesale Mas-
sacre-
Denver, December 7.—One of the most de-
structive fires that ever visited Leadville broke
out yesterday. The Texas house, the largest
gambling establishment in the West. was en-
tirely destroyed together with a large amount
of fine furniture.
Particulars are received of the wholesale
slaughter by Ju and his band, near the town
of Case Grande, in the Arroyo de Encinellas, in
the State of Chihuhua, of Americans and
Mexicans. Jj and his band have been com-
mitting various depredations for some time
past, and a few da\rs before went to the ranches
of Jefe Potitico, of Caliano; Don Juan, of Can-
drero, and stole many head of sheep and cattle.
They visited the ranches of other citizens and
drove off many more. Potetico and the other
sufferers gathered a band of about thirty men
and started after the Indians. They came
upon them before they knew Ju and his band
were anj^where near. " They were immediately
surrounded by Indians in the Arroyo, and Po-
titico, as soon as he saw the band numbered
over 200, dispatched one of his men for assist-
ance. who managed to escape. Arriving
Galliano, he got together about seventy inl-
and started at once for the scene. Ju sent O' -
a party, who engaged in a fight with him
preventing them from joining Pot!*'.*
co. The rescuers saw the slaughte *
but could do nothing for theiv
unfortunate friends. Every one of the pur-
suing party, with the exception of the man who
went for succor, was butchered by the savagi;.
The\r then retreated to the Sierra Madre, Su4
when the friends of the unfortunate victims
went to bury the dead they found, not far from
the spot where the massacre occurred, the
bodies of five Americans. Two, it has been
since learned, were from Grant county, New
Mexico; their names were James Briggs and
Wm. McDowell. They had been in Chihuahua
some time purchasing cattle, and were then on
their way lipsne. Ju and his band some tin: i
ago murdered several prominent citizens of
Chihuahua.
Tobacco Manufacturers' Meeting.
Chicago, December 7—The tobacco manu*
facturers of Chicago held a meeting to-day..
Representatives of 2000 operatives were pre-
sent and drew up a petition to Congress asking
immediate action on the tax question, on the
ground that continued agitation is ruining
business and depriving operators of their sub-
sistence. The}- favor the total abolition of the
tax and suggest, in case it is done, a rebate be
allowed ou all unbroken packages of manu-
factured tobacco as a matter of justice. Copies
were sent to Illiuois senators and representa-
tives in Congress.
At the meeting it was stated that the manu-
facturers cared little whether the tax was re-
moved or not. What they wanted was to
stop the agitation of the question. Till tl is
was done there could be uo stability in trade.
Most of those present stated they were short-
euiug their force, aud several said they would
dose at once or in a short time unless the
question was settled. They recommended to*
tal abolition of taxes, as a mere reduction
would not benefit the consumer.
The Dog Derby.
Grand Junction, Tenn., December 7.—The
trials concluded to-day with the American
Derby for all round quality. Five or six of
the puppies this year are ahead of any pre-
vious year, and Carrie J, Pink B, Bessie A,
American Dan, Kate B, Nelly Bly and Gus
Bondhu are all crackers that will be heard
from again, but American Dan will probably
make the highest reputation, as ho
has a future on the show bench as
well as on the field. In the second
round of the Derby Bessie A beat Katia
B, and Pink ii beat Gath; Carrie J beat Prfde
of Memphis. Third round—Pink beat Bessie
B and Carrie Abye. Final round—Carrie
beat Pink (both from Memphis), and won the
Derby; Pinfc beat Gus. Bondhu, and won third
place. 0
Many dogs go from this place to Opelousas,
Louisiana.
Investigating Disasters.
Chicago, December 7.— Lieutenant New-
comb, of the Life-saving service at this sta-
tion, has been ordered to proceed to the scene
and investigate the causes of the recent wreckJ
on I.ake Michigan.
The opinion is that some of the vessels were
unseaworthy. The government commission is
inspecting the navy yards here to-day and
leaves for Florida to-morrow. A meinber of
the commission stated that the navy yards thus
far visited cost the government $50,000,000 and
would not sell for $1,000,000.
Dr. Rush leaves for Washington to urge the
passage of a bill to extend the bonded period
on whisky, in behalf of the Western Export-
association. Members say if they can get tjii9
they will not ask a reduction of tax tor the
present.
A General Suspension Probable*
Pittsburgh, December 7.—This afternoon
Secretary Martin, of the Amalgamated asso-
ciation, received word from President Jarrett,
who is at Chicago, that the conference be-
tween the Bessemer steel manufacturers of
