THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1893.

IT WAS NOT HARMONIOUS.
THAT CAE SERVICE MEETING HELD
AT THE BEAOH HOTEL
An Effort to Knook Out the Rule Previcrfsly
Adopted Vigorously Resisted by
the Santa Fe.
From reports which leaked out yesterday
It seems that harmony does not prevail In
the camp of the Texas car service and that
the meeting on Tuesday last at the Beach
hotel to take action upon the Question of
free time allowance on export cotton and
cotton seed products was not as peaceful
and lamblike as the smiling countenances
of the gentlemen who participated In It
might seem to Indicate. In fact from what
the News railroad man picked up here and
there about that meeting it m«st have been
quite animated. The meeting of Tuesday,
It is understood, was called by Mr. Peck at
the solicitation of some of the members of
the association having New Orleans con-
nections. The association membership Is
twenty-nine and when "the roll was called
Tuesday the requisite two-thirds to do
business answered the call. The meeting
was held in the reception room ol' the
Beach hotel adjoining the office and the
door was closed, but after the meeting had
been in session a short time the door
opened and out walked Mr. B. F. Yoakum,
general manager of the Gulf, Colorado and
Banta Fe, who took a seat on the balcony
and engaged in conversation with some
friends. Shortly behind Mr. Yoakum came
Vice President O. A. yuinlan of the Hous-
ton and Texas Central system, who spoke
to Mr. Yoakum concerning his departure
from the meeting, but the latter declined
to return. Then came Mr. Van Vleck of
the Southern Pacific, and the three gentle-
men engaged In an earnest conference, at
the end of which all returned to the meet-
ing room and remained there until an ad-
journment was taken to meet In Dallas
Friday.
All these occurrences seemed to mean
something, and by dint of close questioning
the News railroad man has learned that
the cause of Mr. Yoakum's abrupt depar-
ture from the meeting was a proposition
from some of the representatives present
to introduce a resolution rescinding the ac-
tion taken by the car service association at
Its last meeting before that of Tuesday,
when a rule was adopted, after mutual
concessions all round, by which Galveston
was placed on a parity with New Orleans
In the matter of free time allowance on
cotton and cotton seed products, viz., fif-
teen days free time on export cotton and
twenty days on cotton seed products. This
action had been unanimous und the rule is
now in effect, so when the lines with New
Orleans connections moved to reconsider,
It Is said Mr. Yoakum, representing the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe, made a vig-
orous and emphatic protest and when the
move was pushed he took his departure,
thus breaking a quorum as it were. In
his absence the association proceeded
to adopt the motion to reconsider
and then it was that Messrs. Quinlan
nnd Van Vleck came out to confer with
Mr. Yoakum. Whatever the result of that
conference, it is stated on good authority
that upon Mr. Yoakum's return to the
room the action taken In his absence was
reconsidered and matters left in statu quo
to be taken up and discussed again at the
Windsor hotel meeting called at Dallas for
Friday.
Rumor also adds that the only road
which supported the Santa Fe in its protest
against rescinding a rule which had been
adopted presumably for the entire season
was the Velasco Terminal.
As stated in The News' previous report
of this meeting, this is the old fight be-
tween Galveston and New Orleans, and
after adopting a rule for Galveston It ap-
pears that Bome of the roads experienced a
change of heart, which did not by any
means please the Santa Fe. This road had
gone upon the idea that the rule had been
made for the entire season and resisted
the reconsideration, by which Galveston
would ba placed at a disadvantage and cot-
ton and cotton seed products forced to New
Orleans on account of the superior advan-
tages enjoyed by that port.
What the outcome at Dallas will be Fri-
day is problematical, but that there will be
music in the air If the present rules are
abrogated or changed In the Interest of
New Orleans is certain.
DOWNWARD COURSE OF RATES.
Railway Age.
The downward course of railway freight
rates during the last twenty-nine years is
Impressively Indicated in the following ta-
ble from the last report of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul railway company,
showing the average rate per ton per mile
received during the years named:
Cents. Cents. Cents.
186 5 4.11 1875 2.10 1885 1.28
1866 8.76 1876 2.04 1886 1.17
1867 3.94 1877 2.08 1887 1.09
1868 8.49 1878 1.80 1888 1.066
1869 8.10 1879 1.72 1889 1.059
1870 2.82 1880 1.76 1890 0.995
187 1 2.54 1881 1.70 1891 1.003
1872 2.43 1882 1.18 1892 1.026
1873 2.50 1863 1.39 1893 1.026
187 4 2.38 1884 1.29
From 4.11 cents to 1 cent per ton per mile
is an astonishing descent, Indicating the
force of competition, as well as the in-
creased volume of business and the Intro-
duction of economies which have made
auch reductions possible, although at the
cost of diminution or stoppage of returns
to railway owners. But the reductions
have been too rapid and severe, and they
must cease if the railroads are to escape
ruin. The indications are that the lowest
point has been reached and that the record
of 1890, when the average rate was only
#,995 of a cent per ton per mile, will not be
repeated. Think of carrying 2000 pounds of
freight a mile for 1 cent and loading, un-
loading and storing it besides! The course
of operating expenses, which for a time
was also downward, is now upward, and
the margin between Income and outgo has
reached such perilously narrow proportions
that rates must now be maintained of fie-
oassity.
THE REASON IT ADJOURNED.
Houston, Tex., Sept. 27.—General Manager
Peck of the Texas car service association
was at his office to-day up to his ears In
work. A solution of the cotton problem is
worrying Colonel Peck, Just as It is the rest
of the railroad men. He is a staunch ad-
vocate of placing Galveston and New Or.
leans on a parity to the end that the
Texas seaport will not get the worst of it.
"The meeting of the association held at
Galveston yesterday was unproductive of
results," said Colonel Peck, "and it ad-
journed to be reconvened In Dallas on Fri-
day, the 29th Instant. The reason was that
some of the northern lines, notably the
Texas and Pacific and the Cotton Belt,
could not be represented at the Galveston
meeting, and requested that we hold an
adjourned meeting In the northern part
of the Btate. As the question at issue Is so
Important as to require as full an attend-
ance as possible, the meeting was adjourned
as stated above in deference to the wishes
of the north Texas lines."
NOT COMPLAINING.
Houaton, Tex., Sept. 27.—"Of course pas-
senger traffic is not what might be termed
brisk," said Ticket Agent Courtney of the
Katy, "but It is not at a standstill by any
means; at least It is not so with the Mis-
souri, Kansas and Texas. We are sending
people to Chicago every day, and while
world's fair traffic is not as lively as it
was three or four weeks ago, it is holding
up remarkably well with us. As a matter
of fact, we have no kick coming on pas-
senger traffic of any kind. All things con-
sidered, we can not oomplaln."

FOUR TRUE BILLS.
Indictments Against Those Charged with
the Murder of Chas. Dykes.
Refugio, Tex., Sept. 27.-Last week waB
district court week. The court was pre-
sided over by Hon. S. F. Grimes, district
Judge, and the state was represented by
District Attorney A. B. Davidson. The
grand Jury returned Indictments against
the four prisoners charged with the mur-
der of Charles Dykes on San Antonio river,
this county, a few weeks ago. Seven indict-
ments were found against others for minor
offenses against the law of the state, whose
trial will come on in the county court In
due time.
Formerly Refugio county had two weeks
of the district court at each term, but
that arrangement was changed by the leg-
islature, and now it is only one week, r.y
the time the grand jury brought In the in-
dictments against the four prisoners for
murder it was too late in the week to pro-
ceed with their trial and they were re-
manded back to prison, there to remain
till next term of district court, six months
hence, before their trial can come on."
At the last meeting of the county com-
missioners' court the matter of building
bridges in different portions of this county
was up before them, and after considerable
discussion was favorably passed upon.
There Is, however, considerable opposition
to this matter.

table. The oil and water sketches of Miss
Maggie Patterson of Franklin, the crayon

derson and "The Lion" by Mrs. Harry Gib-

MISDIRECTED KINDNESS.
A tender-hearted, good woman, full of
compassion and sympathy, called at the
Harris county jail a few days ago in com-
pany with two or three others. They went
there in the cause of Christianity, hoping
to plant its seed in the heart of some crimi-
nal or wayward inmate. Their good work
was done in a manner that they de med
most effective. While there the lady above
referred to, noticing the apparel of some of
the inmates, gave in a few needles and
some thread. It was a deed of kindness to
those who needed it.
Recently Jailer Anderson had occasion to
search the cells, and he found a unique In-
strument for cutting out of jail. It con-
sisted of a small piece of wood about the
size of a large knire handle. A third of its
length was appropriated as space for the
teeth of a saw, and the teeth were needles
broken or cut in two and driven into the
narrow side of the wood. On each side of
the row of needles were placed two little
strips of wood, and strong black thread
was passed between each needle around the
strips and the handle. In this way the
length of the needles was reduced to about
that of the teeth of a saw, and they were
held as firmly in place as if they had been
a part of a piece of steel or the teeth of a
saw.
It was an ingenious device and might
have been made very effective in sawing
out had not the jailer found it. Thus the
good deed of a good lady was sought to be
made helpful in an effort to break jail.
I. O. B. B. BALL.
There was a meeting last evening of the
committee on the proposed ball and ban-
quet to be given October 3 by the members
of Houston lodge, I. O. B. B., at Turner
hall. The committee is composed of
Messrs. David Fox, chairman, C. E. Jones,
Joe Rosenthal, Herman Levy, Albert Che-
mene, Charles D. Wolf, L. A. Freed, A.
Roos, I. Sokolasky, Seymour Levy, Joe
Rosenfield and James Levy. They prepared
an interesting programme of dances. The
invitations are being sent out to-day, and
judging from the names on the commit-
tees, it may be stated in advance that the
affair will be a success.
The installation of the officers of the
new lodge will take place October 2. The
grand officers of the order will conduct the
installation ceremonies and be present at
the ball and banquet the following night.
There will be a number of other visitors
to the city present.

tee are: A. R. Rosenthal, chairman; Leon
Levy, B. M. Rich, J. Alexander, A. Roos
and Louis Rich.
The ways and means committee has done
some good work in their line. They are:
Leon E. Levinson, chairman; J. H. B.
Ashe, Charles Wolf and D. R. Fox.
MONTE CARLO.
This evening at the opera house a large
audience greeted George Wilson's aggrega-
tion under the management of Primrose A
West. The house was packed from the or-
chestra to the back seats of the gallery.
The more critical element of the audience
knew that George Wilson in white was not
George Wilson in black, and they were
sorry that he changed his role, but the gen-
eral audience seemed enthusiastic and
greeted with admiring applause many of
the features of the performance. There was
a matinee in the afternoon, but the house
was not large.
There was considerable disappointment
over the street parade to-day, as every-
body expected the full company to be in it,
instead of merely the members of the band.
The next attraction will be Mattie Vlckers.
The ushers of the opera house this eve-
ning appeared with new silver badges
marked "usher." It is a good thing, and
will be very helpful to patrons.

rights guaranteed them under the law.

TOWN NOTES.
There was a meeting this evening of
Knights of Pythias.
San Jacinto lodge of Perfection will have
an important meeting to-morrow (Thurs-
day) evening in the Masonic temple.
A. Carmlchael arrived in the city this
morning and brought with him Jerome
Crouch, an escaped convict who was cap-
tured yesterday at Milano Junction. The
convict had escaped from the Santa Fe
force at work near Brenham. The officer
will take him to the walls to-morrow morn-
ing.
There was a lively fight to-day on Wash-
ington street near Young's avenue between
J. W. Hyden and Wat Lamb, two farmers.
One slashed the other twice on the side of
the head with a knife, and for it was
thrown to the ground and had his head
pounded against the pavement until he
barely knew what hit him. They were
parted by street car men.
This evening at about 7.30 o'clock Cap-
tain and Mrs. Robert Maher and their little
child were riding in a buggy along Main
street. At the crossfhg of Preston avenue
one of the wheels slipped in between two
parallel parts of an Iron post lying In front
of the new Kiam building. The horse
turned a little and the wheel began to
break down and the buggy to upset. A
gentleman standing near rushed to tho
buggy and got there in time to catch the
baby and the lady as the vehicle turned
over. It was a lucky escape from injury,
but the buggy was broken.

SELF PKAISE.
Self-praise is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit a
person to tell the truth about himself. When
what he says is supported by the testi-
mony of others no reasonable man will
doubt his word. Now, to say that All-
cock's Porous Plasters are the only gen-
uine and reliable uorous plasters made Is
not self-praise in the slightest degree. They
have stood the test for over thirty years,
and In proof of their merit it Is only nec-
essary to call attention to the cures they
have effected and to the voluntary testi-
monials of those who have used them.
Beware of Imitations, and do not be de-
ceived by misrepresentation. Ask for All-
cock" s. and let no solicitation or explana-
tion induce you to accept a substitute.

Have the early frosts or too late a lin-

that RHEUMATISM so peacefully
slumbering the summer long? Well, if
it's very bad you must change your diet
and perhaps take some distasteful drug
—the doctor will tell you what—but first
rub thoroughly the part afflicted with
POND'S EXTRACT, then wrap it
warmly with flannel, and the rheuma-
tism may wholly disappear. It will cer-
tainly be much relieved. Notv thM.you

mentions. It's a wonderful curative.
