of the Houston East and West Texas were
in sessioi^ again to-day, but nothing could

inspected the property of the company in
(he Fifth ward. They were piloted through
the yards and shops by Superintendent
Tom Cronin. The closest attention to de-
tails was given by the party, the inspection
consuming a considerable time.

private coach, was taken from its station
in tho yards of the Houston and Texas
Central near the Grand Central depot, dur-
ing the day and transferred to the yards
of the Houston East and West Texas. To-
morrow morning at 7 o'clock Mr. Blair
and his associates, Messrs. Dennis, Miller
and Gillette, will leave on a tour of inspec-
tion, which will take in the entire system.

fore they return, as there is no occasion
for hurry, and it is the intention to thor-
oughly Investigate the state of the property
in order to get at its value. Mr. Blair Is
quoted as saying that considerable money-
would be expended on the road when it
was learned where the cash was most
needed.

Austin, Tex., Jan. 30.—Captain J. A.
Brooks, company F, rangers, informs tho

"On the 26th instant there was trouble at
dtotulla. which came very near resulting in
bloodshed. We have two factions here, who
are very bitter against each other, owing
to troubles of several years' standing, and
too much balking. Both factions armed
themselves with Winchesters and shotguns,
and had 1 not arrived just when I did there
would have been very serious trouble,
which 1 prevented by getting one side, into
a store, where I kept them until 1 could get
the opposing side to agree to do what was
right. 1 then persuaded them to agree to
leave the settlement of the matter to me.
and I was not long in getting them to put)
away their guns. Everything has been
quiet yesterday and to-day. and the ma'.ter
is settled for the time bein* but i can
not tell when something will occur to bring
it up again."

l'ussed—Other Notes.
Now York, Jan. 30.—The twenty-round
bout between the well known bantams,
Sammy Ke\ley of New York" and Jimmy
Barry of Chicago, attracted a large crowd
of sporting men to tho .Broadway athletic
club to-night. These two boys went the
distance without either gaining any de-
cided advantage, and the referee called it
a draw.
Before the big light Jack llannlgan of
Pittsburg was bested In six rounds by
Billy O'Donnell of Memphis, and Loudon
Campbell of Philadelphia Mot the decision
over Jack Smith of Norfolk in two rounds.
Barry was the favorite in the betting,
his friends laying odds of 100 to 70 on his
chances-of winning.
Stuart's Partner Interviewed.
San Francisco, Cal., Jan. 30.—Wm. Ken-
yon Wheolock, partner of Dan Stuart, is
here, fiVsh from the scene of triumph in
Nevada. Wheelock said he was thoroughly
satlshed that Corbett and Fltzsimmons
would meet in.the ring in that state be-
yond the shadow of a doubt. Ho said de-
cisively that neither Stuart nor himself had
given the slightest, intimation jis to what
particular place in Nevada would bo se-
lected for' the light.
Wheelock said that in all probability
there would be one other contest in addi-
tion to the Corbott-Filzslmmons match.
"We will very likely have a two-days pro-
gramme," he said. "Stuart is anxious to
get some one to go against Peter Maher,
and if Goddard was in the country now he
would undoubtedly bo given the chance.
We thought of Sharkey, and it might be
that an effort will be made to induce the
sailor to meet Maher.
"The contest between Corbett and Fltz-
simmons will take plaqe by daylight," said
Wheelock. "Our intention is to have it
between noon and 3 o'clock In the after-
noon. George Siler of Chicago will be tho
leferee, the principals having selected him
at the time the match was arranged."
Prize Fight Hates.
Chicago, 111., Jan. 30.—The railroads have
already begun llguring on the business to
the coming prize light In Nevada, and one
road has declared it will make a rate of
not over $<!5 for tho round trip from Chica-
go to the lighting ground, no matter where
it may by located, provided, of course that
it is in the state of Nevada This road has
declared that It will make the rate, no
matter what action may be taken by west-
< rn passenger and trfcns-contihental asso-
clatiolis. It permission to make the rate is
refused the road will make the rate on its
own responsibility.
Corbett to Train in Denver.
Chicago, III., Jan. So.—James J. Corbett
will In all probability train at Denver for
his light with Fltzsimmons. After hearing
that the prize light bill had become a law
by the signature of the governor of Nevada
he said:
"l shall probably train in or hear Denver.
T don't know much about the health resorts
in Nevada. 1 see that they are looking up
a place as a training ground for one of us.
but I know nothing about it. I have never
been in the state, except when passing
througl} on the cars."
Corbett-s I'rogramme.
Chicago, 111., Jan. 30.—J. J. Corbett closed
his theatrical engagement In this city to-
night and will leave at once for Kansas
City, where he closes his season." He then
goi's to San Francisco to start training. His
sojourn on the coast will be very brief,
probably not more than a week. Just as
soon as the light location in Nevada is an-
nounced the champion will seek an ad\ton-
tageoius sjbot in proximity to the ringside.
Lilly Delapey, Charlie White, John MoY'ey
and JO1* Corbett will act as^orbett's train-
ers.
§
Depciatl* on the Hull roads.
Carson, New, Jan. 30.—New» that Dan
Stuart had named Nevada as tho place
where Corbett and Fltzsimmons will meet
was received in a pr< ss dispatch, but it is
g« nerally believed that even no\» the match
will not come to Nevada at all If the rail-
roads do not make a favorable rate. Whee-
lock is expected to return to Carson to-
morrow and throw a little more light on
the subject. \
