Cut to Pieces.
Houston, Tex., May 22.—This morning afc
a very early hour a negro man reported that
he believed he had seen a dead man lying on
the Houston and Texas Central railroad track
above Chaneyville. The statement was in-
vestigated and found to be true. Justice
Spencer of Chaneyville held the inquest and
the remains were found to be those of John
Hardcastle, a contractor and builder, who
had lived on Hemphill street, in the Fifth
ward. He was about 45 years of age
and was a member of the carpenters'
union in good standing. The body
was actually cut in two by being run over by
a froight train. One of the legs was found
half a block from the other and both were
some distance from the body. The face was
considerably disfigured. But the fact that
there was no blood found on the track gives
rise to a strong suspicion that the unfortunate
man was murdered and laid upon the track to
be torn to pieces by a train. It is known that
ho was with strange men last
night as late as 10 o'clock
and on this fact and the one above named is
based the suspicion of foul play. He was not
a man of family and had no relatives in this
part of the country. The body was taken in
charge by Ross & Co. The funeral took place
this afternoon under the conduct of the Car-
penters' union.
Freight Conductor Injured.
Yesterday evening S. T. Tutt, a freight con-
ductor on the Houston and Texas Central,
was painfully hurt, near Ennis, under pecul
iar circumstances.
While walking near the track he had his
foot caught in a switch, and before he could
give any alarm a train backing ran over it,
mashing it severely.
The injured man was taken to the hospital
and every attention giveu.
An examination proved that no bones wero
broken, although amputation may be neces-
sary.
Mr. Tutt was well known in Houston under
the cognomen of Sac.
Their Engagement.
It is now known to most of the society peo-
ple of this oity that Mr. Robert Morris, head
of the firm of J. R. Morris' Sons and one of
the leading young business men here, will
lead to the marriage altar Miss Mary Trailor
of Victoria on June 8. Both belong to the
first circles of Texas society. The youug
lady is one of the loveliest, fairest and most
accomplished of her sex, and the fortunate
young man is one of the leading businessmen
of south Texas. The marriage will take place
al the home of the bride's parents.

Boston, Mass., May 21.—[Special.]—Vice
President Bennett of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad has made a preliminary
announcement of the plan for a proposed
second mortgage as decided upon, it being
the completion of a reorganization plau put
into effect in October, 1889. The plan pro-
vides for the creation of a second mortgage,
under which there will be issued at once $80,-
000,000 worth of bonds, termed class A, with
graded interest beginning July 1, 1892, at 2}i
per cent the first fifteen months, 3 per cent
for the year begin ning October, 1898, 3% be-
ginning year October, 1894, and 4 per cent for
the year beginning October, 1895, and there-
after.
Also for $20,000,000 bonds issued under the
same indenture, termed "Class B," carrying
interest, beginning July 1, 1892, at 4 per cent
por annum, under which no greater amount
than $5,000,000 in any one year can issue, the
proceeds of which will apply specifically and
only to improvements, including equipment
on the existing mileage of the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe railway system, as it is
described in circular 28.
It is also provided that if the improvements
do not call for the issuo of $5,000,000 of these
bonds in any one year the excess amount of
such proceeds can apply in the next year fol-
lowing, but in no one year to more tean the
proceeds of $5,000,000.
At the expiration of the four yoars classes
A and B become identically the same bond is-
sue. Coupons under those bonds are payable
semi-annually.
The right is reserved to the company in the
second mortgage after the expiration of the
four years and a quarter to issuo in any one
year not more than $2,500,000 of second mort-
gage 4 per cent bonds for the same specific
purposes up to a limit of $50,000,000, but the
proceeds not to apply, however, to extension
in any direction of the company's lines.
The outside amounts of the fixed charges of
the company in the four years beginning with
July 1, 1892, will be as follows: j
For the first year, $10,200,000; second, $10,-
r00,000; third, $11,300,000; fourth, $11,900,000.
As the net earnings for the current year end-
ing June 30,1892, are not less than $11,700,000,
the position of the company, with ample and
stated meetings provided for improvements,
can be readily seen. Tho improvements re-
ferred to include equipment.
It is believed the mortgage will be for 100
years or thereabouts and that the underwrit-
ing of $5,000,000 has been done at 68, less a
commission thought not to be less than 2}£
per cent nor more than 5 per cent.
