OFFICE, TRACK AND LINE.
NAOOGDOOHES' SLEEPING RAILROAD
SCHEME ROUSING UP.
Something About a Proposed Short Line.
The Guillotine Working; on Fort Worth
and Denver Conductors.
Nacogdoches, Tcx., Not. 27.—In The
News of November 8 a communication ap-
peared from here reciting that Nacojjdochcs
had a sleeping railroad, the Rod Hiver, Sabine
and Western, and tliat this section of country
would bo clad to have it revived, or, at leust,
have such a road built. A prominent citizen
of Dallas has written to ono of the leading
business men of Nacogdochos that a parly^ in
Now York is proposing to till this nap. ftr-ci is
well able to do it. The plan is to extend or
build from the Fort Worth and Denver road,
via Dallas, Palestine, New Birmingham,
Nacogdoches and San Augustine, to Alexan-
dria, La., and to absorb the Dallas South-
eastern and perhaps other roads on tins line.
Such a sehetne would meet with the greatest
encouragement all along, and such a road
would l>o of incalculable vnluo to its tributary
territory, winch moans not only the country
near it but that also beyond it in the north-
west and southeast.
The leading features arc a short route from
northwest loxas to Now Orleans ami a con-
venient cutlet for the products which naturally
tlow now from poiut to fK>int, both to nnd
from all the country interested. At pn«>ont
there is no such direct ohanncl for freight and
travel. Such a road is urgently demanded by
business necessities. It would bo profitable
to its owners and to its pat rons.
Will Prevent High Commissions.
Chicaoo, III., Nov. 27.—Some time ago tho
commissioners of the western traffic associa-
tion granted the application of the Southern
Pacific road for authority to pay certain com-
missions for trans-continental emigrant busi-
ness. The granting of such authority gives
the Southern Pacitio an advantage which was
designed to offset all disadvantages in other
directions.
Since that time complaints have been mado
by other roads that they wore unable to obtain
their share of tho emmigrant business because
of the high commissions paid by tho Southern
Pacific and Canadian Pacific, and the agita-
tion became so great that tho commissioners
found it advisable to reopen the question.
They put tho matter under consideration at
their meeting last week and Chairman Walker
issued an order, which is thought, will sottlo
tho difficulty.
The commissioners decided that they made
a mistake in allowing any transcontinental
line an advantage in this respect, and that tho
commission should be uniform. The order
provides that )>eginning forthwith no com-
missions higher than $18 from Chicngo
and $2 from the Missouri river shall be paid
on emigrant business to California. Tliese are
tho amounts formerly paid by an agreement
with all the interested lines, but the agreement
has beon a dead letter for many mouths and
tho roads have beon taking such individual
action as they pleased in competing for tho
trnllle. This created a demoralization that re-
sulted at last in tho reduction of the rates.
Chairman Walker's order distinctly set a
forth that no existing contracts or agreements
for commissions must Htand in the way of its
immediate enforcement.
Hushing on Toward Llano.
Hempstead, Tex., Nov. 27.—Colonel B. M.
Temple, chief engineer in charge of the sur-
veying corps to mako surveys and locate tho
line of tho Austin and Northwestern railway
from Marble Falls to Llano ptssed through
liero yesterday en route to tho tield of his
labors. Ho will at onco organize his corps
and take the field. The distance on the now
survey will bo less than thirty miles rind tho
road will bo completed and cars running
through without chango from Hompstcad to
Llano by April 1 next.
Colonel Temple was a civil engineer on
duty with the army of northern Virginia dur-
ing the lato war and therefore holds a genuino
military title. Ho was the chief engineer who
surveyed and located tho Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fo railway from the torininus of tho
road in Galveston county when sold by tho
original Galveston owners to the now corpora-
tion about twelve years ago, to Fort Worth, a
distance of more than 1X10 miles. The rapid
construction of tho line, tho engineering diffi-
culties surmounted by bridging rivers and
finding a route for the iron horse through
mountains, etc., won tho admiration of all
railroad builders and solved the problem that
a railroad can be eon-tructed hastily when
backed up by plenty of money.
Colonel Temple has just completed tho
gigantic bridgo across the Pecos river on tho
Southern Pacific railway west of San An-
tonio.
The thrifty little city of Temple, Bell coun-
ty, was named after him.
The conductors will cry "All aboard for
Llano" on April 1 and it will not be au April
fool joke t it tier.
Illow From the CoiiiinUtion.
Houston, Tex., Nov. 27.—The state railway
commission hits with unfortunate frequency a
hard blow at home industry. This morning
Colonel R. D. Gribblo of the Gribblo lumber
company arrived in tho city, coining indirect-
ly from his home at Gainesville. He remained
here only to-day, but during the time mado a
visit to the Fifth ward, where his lumber mills
aro being re-erected after the fire that razed
them to the ground. A News correspondent
met him and in a conversation concerning tho
situation he said:
"I have just been over to tho Fifth ward and
am glad to see that the bunit district is being
rapidly rebuilt. No, sir, wo have not dono
building our mill yet, hut it will not be as
largo when done us it was before, because the
railway commission has taitoii a course thut
makes it impossible for us to do tho business
to justisy it.
In further speaking on the subject he indi-
cated that oven u mill larger than the original
would have taken its place i>ut f<»r legislation
of a character that rather paralyzes than f js-
ters homo industry. Mr. Gribblo is tho presi-
dent of tho lumbermen's association, and is
not only ono of the best citizens of Texas, but
one of the most successful inillmen. He has
been in tho business a great many years, and
his opinion is regarded with great deference
by every millinan Hud business citizen of
Texas.
tors who have lost their heads, Messrs. Bate-
inan, Reagan, Conway and Saunders, tho
latter two running on tho north end. Tho
reason of their discharge is not known, the
officials declining to make any statement. The
information leaked out from ono of tho boys
decapitated.
A Long Search.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
One of tho best jobs m car tracing over done
in this country was completed about three
weeks ago by a car tracer of tho New York
Central. That road had lost a car, and sent
out a traecr to look it up. Ho followed it west
to Pittsburg, tnen to Cincinnati, then to Chi-
cago, and from there to St. Louis. Hero ho
lost track of it, but after some search found
it had been in on accident and had boon re-
painted, By some oversight the nuinbor had
been changed, but taking tho now number, ho
chased tho car to Kansas City, where ho found
it had been loaded am! sent on to Galveston.
To Galveston he went, and there found that,
after taking a fresh load, tho car had gono to
San Francisco. He wont after it. but on reach-
ing San Francisco found the ear had gono back
to Galvoston*
By this time his blood was up, and he mado
up his mind to fiud that car if it took tho bal-
ance of his natural life. Sv> ho went back to
Galvoston, and, to make a long story short,
followed that car to New Orleans, to Mobile,
to Atlanta, to half a dozen places m Florida,
then back to Now Orleans, to Galveston again,
and thence to Kansas City, and from thero to
Chicago. He had now been on the hunt for
over throe months, but had got so close to tho
runaway that just a. he came into Chicago by
one road the car left it over another on its way
to Buffalo. Its load was consigned to that
Itouit, and when ho ascertained tho fact ho
telegraphed ou to have the car held, and took
tho next train for tho east. At Builalo ho came
up with the ear and caught his first sight of it.
lie had traveled almost constantly for over
thirteen weeks, traversing a distance of 10,UU0
or 12,UU0 uiilos.

HIS CHILD KIDNAPED.
RUSSO-FRENCH ALLIANCE.
RESULT OF THE PARIS CONFERENCE
MADE PUBLIC.
For Defensive, Not Offensive Purposes—No
Reason for Fear on tho Part of the
Other Foreign Powers.
He Will Pay a Big Ransom to Get It
Back.
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 27.—Tho 2-year-old
son of David Bonis, millionaire, and president
of the Union national bank here, was kiduaped
yesterday by one of the servants of the house,
and no trace of tho child has !>een found. Just
as the family wns finishing dinner yesterday
evening a servant, Lizzie Smith, said sho was
going out after the evening paper, which is
usually left on tho veranda. Mr. Heals heard
the outer door opou. and fearing something,
went out and found his sou missing. Search
was at once instituted, but notraco was found.
Mr. Beals tlus afternoon issued the following
notico:
Five Thousand Dollars Ransom--To Whom it
Hay Concern: Return my child, receive sCwK>». and
no (|ue*tiouH asked. D. T. U::als.
The ranjom money was offered aft-er a long
and serious discussion of tho question as to
whether n ransom or reward should bo offered.
Tho ofllcers urged that tho criminals should
be brought to justice, and that the offering of
a ransom, without attempting to secure tho
kidnnpeas was, from a moral standpoint,
compounding a felony. To these arguments
Beats replied:
'•First let me find my boy and thou you can
iin<i his kidnapers."
The reward, ho argued, would attract too
many detectives, who might run the kidnapers
so close to earth that, rather than suircr tho
penalty for their crime tney would put tiio
child out of the way and make good their es-
cape.
Heals therefore advertises his willing-
ness to pay the rausom, in the hope that it
will induce tho kidnapers to return the child
directly to him. Ho states that tho offer is
ms.do in good faith, and that whatever knowl-
edge ho might obtain of the identity of tho
abductors, should they aecopt Ilia olfcr, will bo
honorably guarded.
Albert King is the man who is tUDpottd to
have taken an active part iu tho kidnaping.
He represented himself to the neighbors as
U'ing ttie husband of Lizzie Smith. When
tho police searched Lizzio Smith's trunk they
found in it an autograph album which cou-
tailted the signature of Albert King. Albert
King and tho woman aro known to live in a
small town in Illinois, the name of which tho
police decline to malto public. Beyond tho
name practically nothing is known of Albert
King, and nothing concerning his occupation
has been discovered. _

covered to-night upon the payment of $5UA).

Address information to R. H. Cubley, sheriff.
London, Nov. 27.—[Copyrighted 1801 by
the New York Associated Press]—'Tho first
authentic information convoying tho results of
M. de dors' sojourn iu Paris has reached the
foreign office through tho British embassy at
Berlin. M. do Giers has communicated to
Emperor William and Chancellor von Caprivi
a clear explanation ns to tho conferences hold
in Paris and tho character of thoHusso-Freuch
entente therein achieved.
Doubtless tho czar has instructed his mln-
istor to mako the declarations with a view to
having, not only tho German government, but
other interested European governments, learn
the nature of tho compact betwoen Russia and
France. According to tho semi-official state-
ment based on M. de Giers' declaration to
Chancellor von Caprivi, a statement which
will probably be published throughout Europe
to-morrow, the Russian statesman's recent in-
terviews with President Carnot, M. do
Freycmot, premier and the minister of
war, and M. Ribot, minister of
foreign attain, resulted in an agreement for
an exclusively defensive alliance. Tho
entente agreed upon, according to the state-
ment quoted, differs on a most essential point
from the triplo alliance treaty, inasmuch as
while that makes the European statu quo tho
basis of the maintenance of peace, the Itusso-
French etento aims at what M. De Giers has
calied "respect for treaties," meaning es-
pecially the restoration of Russia's grip on
Bulgaria and the British evacuation of Egypt.
The differences on those features of the
situation aro not iu the meantime to be re-
garded as constituting a danger of war, as
both the Russian und French government de-
sire ttf assist tho strict application of existing
treaties by pacific means.
?.l. do Giers lias further communicated the
fact that no treaty has yet been signed, and
has intimated that the French minister de-
sires tho conclusion of a formal con-
tract as alone properly defining tho
future responsibilities, and rendering it possi-
ble to pursue a distinct policy before Ejrope,
while at tho same time avoiding the reproach
of cb rishlBg warlike .
The sum of these official assurances from
the Berlin omhassy is Mint tho Paris coufer-
i euces of M. de Giers, instead of having an
empty character, as was generally
j reported, have rosuited in a
j acnemo to maintain a diplomatic warfare
; against tho dicibund and England, awaiting a
j more propitious period for engaging
in actual war. M. do Giers' communica-
tions assume the first importance, uot
for what they disclose so much as because
they constitute llrst official admission of tho
Russian government to tho powers that tho
liusso-French alliance has really boon ar-
ranged.
Lord Salisbury aent to Windsor castlo to-
night to place before the queen certain dis-
patches, and it is surmised that they aro those
which refer to the Rusto-Froach entente.

The Spider's Opponent.
Speaking of tho coining match between Kel-
ly and Plimincr tho sporting editor of tho Now
York Rocorder says:
That Kelly will not hnvo an easy task in dis-
posing of Plimmcr all whohuvo scon the lattor
will agree. Tho English lad is a rare good ono
and will take a lot of beating. Ho has two
exceptionally good hands, is shifty on his
feet andean punch as hard as auy little man I
havoovcr seen. It lsquito true that ho has
novcr mot as good a lad as tho llarlemito.
It is also true thut Kelly has never yet met a
man iu u finish light who is us good as Piiiu-
mor. The lattor, as I have said before, is tho
best littlo Englishman who over reach thoso
shores, and you can deinmd ou it that Kelly
will know he has boon in a tight.
Tommy is now fivo pounds over weight and
is as hard as nails. Ho has, however, three
weeks to get to weight and should do bo rather
handily. Plimmer, who has worked at Newark
uudcr Charlio Norton, is two pounds over
weight ami is almost on edge* That he will
be as fit as the traditional fidale when ho en-
ters th" riii« I have no doubt. The battlo
should be a groat one.

COMMERCIAL MATTERS.
AdvHtieo In Corn l>ld It.
New Yoiie, Nov. 27.—Field, Lindloy, Wiech-
ers Co., bankers and brokers ut Xo. 1 Broad-
way, assigned to-day to Charles W« Gould,
without preferences. The houso is an old oue,
but latterly has boon somewhat restricted in
its dealings. The failure is attributed to the
advance iu corn hero and at Chicago.
Assignee Gould, whou ut tho firm's offico
this afternoon, said:
'•The assignment was made for this reason:
Edward M. field, the senior member of the
firm, has apparently gono distracted, llis
illness resembles incipient paresiu. His
mother died last Monday, and this event
seemed to bring to a climax his mental trou-
ble, which some of his friends had delected
two years ago. A physician told me a few
days ago that Field was uot right ill his mind.
Field having the sole management of the
funds of tho tlrin, it at once became necessary
to get from him their condition. So he wont
with the other members of the firm to his resi-
dence and tried to find ot;4. how things stood.
It was a hopeless task. I can not say how tho
firm standi. On August 1 the credit of the
firm was rated at .from $7.V),lAK> to $1,000,000."
Rumor has it that the firm hub been lending
money on securities at 30 and 40 per cent dis
count and then selling the securi-
ties at par value. Further than tho
fact that several borrower.-? have asked for
their securities and they have not been pro-
duced, the rumor has not been substantiated.
Numerous reports were afloat placing tho
firm's indebtedness all the way from $10,000
to $1,500,000, but no eorroct statement
could be scoured through the ofilce of the
firm which was througed during the entire
afternoon by people clamoring for informa-
tion. Notwithstanding the statement of Mr.
Gould that Mr. Edward M. Field, senior
members of the firm was at his house under
medical treatment, a servant at his house in-
sisted in tho afternoon (hat ho left in the
morning, saying he was going to the office.

attachments above referred to are inteuded to
set asido the trunsfer. Ttiero will probably
bo a long suit ovor the matter.
A Small Concern.
Wilmington, N. C., Nov. 27.—The Clinton
loan association at Clinton, Sampson county,
has suspended. It was a small, state banking
company, with a capital of $50,000 and has

less some of the members now pledged to

sible, but now it sQcms unlikely. Foraker now

AN EARLY MORNING DUEL.
TWO PARKER COUNTY FARMERS
SHOOT EACH OTHER TO DEATH,
Two Aocount8 of the Frightful Affair
From Different Sourcos—Shot-
gun Vor sub Pistol.
WfiATHEiiroRn, Tex., Nov. 27. — Another
bloody tragedy wad enacted In this county tlus
inorninir about a uiile east of this city. The
parties entfutfod in it wero Will Rivera and li;d
Froman. They have been euemioj fof over a
year, occasioned by ti niiHundorstandliig be-
tween Mrs. Hiverd and ono of tho dau^htors
of Mr. Froman. The two ladies met in the.
road one day and engaged in a fljjht. Last
night Mr. Fro man's dog was killed by aomo
one, and he concluded that Rivers did it. This
morning, armed with a shotgun, in company
with two friends, ono of whom was also armed,
he started across Rivers' pasture, to whore tho
latter lived. Wheii they reached tho center of
it they met Rivers in company with his wifo.
Fromau stopped and said:
"Oh, yes, U—dd—in you, §o you have killed
my dog, have you?"
To which Rivers replied: "How do you
know I did? you can't provo it."
Instantly Froman omptied both barrels of
his gun into Rivers* breast, over llfty buckshot
taking effect. Rivers dropped to his knees
and tired twice with a pistol, the llrst shot
taking oiToot iu the heart and the othor near
tho center of the breast. Fromau expired in-
stantly, while Rivo.-s lived about two hours.
A physic inn left hero immediately to attend
the wounded man, but he died before the doc-
tor arrived. Warrants have boon sworn out
and Sheriff Sisk has gone to arrest other
parties whom ho believes to bo implicated, but
for the present their names aro withheld frorn
tho public.
Both of the dead men wero prominont, well-
to-do fanners and leave families.
Account Froiu Alfdo.
Albd<>, Parker County, Tex., Nov. 27.—An
old feud, which has existed for 101110 years be-
tween A. S. Froman and Will Rivers, who re-
side just north of hero, was at au early hour
this morning settled in a fearful manner.
Both men aro now dead.
Tho particulars of the unfortunate affair are
thus related by an eye-witness.
Rivers, accompanied by bis wife, his wife's
sister ami a young man by the name of Kyle,
wan after the ncalps of oouio wolves which he
had succeeded in poisoniug during the nifcrht,
nnd when about half a mile from homo met
Froman carrying a double-barrvl shotgun in
bin hands. When Froman approached within
tiifteen feet of Rivers he raised bin gun saying:
4*You aro the d—n s—n of b—h tliat killed
my dog."
Rivers replied: "You have tho advantage
over me, but if you will wait till I go to the
house 1 will conic back aud nlioot it out with
Froman then lowered his gun, but continued
abusing him, when tho latter suddenly drew
a Colt's 4-i, and apparently without taking
aim, tired, tho bullet piercing Froman's loft
breast, passing through his heart aud killing
him instnntly.
Simultaneous with the pistol shot came the
roi>ort of the double barrelod shotgun and
Rivers sank into the arms of hit shrieking wifo
with a charge of squirrel shot in his left breast,
from the effects of which ho expired in thirty
minutes.
Froman was ono of the most prominent and
wealthiest farmers in this vicinity.
REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
An Active Rotail Trade, With Prospects
Improving.
New York, Nov. *17,—R. G. Dun & Co.'.
weekly review of trade Bays:
The woek, broken by n holiday, lias shown
tho usual char<iL'tcri»tics of weak speculation,
nn active retail trade and a moderate whole-
sale business. But the tfreat factors which
go to make the national prosperity are unal-
tered. At Nashville and Montgomery trado
is very fair; at Charleston good, with improv-
ing exports; at New Orleans tho receipts of
cotton and sugar arc large, and both aro in
good demand j and Savannah alone reports
present trado light and money no easier, but
prospects bright.
The speculation during the past weok has
not been active, but corn at Chicago has been
put up. Pork is 25 cents highor. Oats are 1J^
cents and wheat % cent per bushel higher,
while cotton and sugar are heavy. The re-
ceipts of cotton exceed thoso of tho same
week last year by 611,000 bales, and eiporU by
112,000 bales, but the stock in tho country is
521,000 bales larger.
Wheat receipts at tho wet continue at tho
rote of more than 8,000,(XXI bushels for tho full
week, and exports have been 1,800,(XX) bushels
of wheat alono from Atlantic ports for three
days of the presont weok. Oil and cottee show
no considerable chungo. The volume ot spec-
ulation in must linos is fortunately so restricted
that legitimate business and the movements of
products are not at present classed. In tho
gTeat industries the outlook is improving.
There is a hotter domand for iron.
(In tho whole there aro ovidences of enormous
consumption, already nearly equal to the pro-
duction, with prospects of an increase during
the re*t of the year. Tho market for woolen
goods distinctly improves with colder weather,
though some holders mako slight concessions
on old stocks. Cotton goods aro fairly active,
though print cloths accumulate. Money is
comparatively easy aud collections so far aro
fair.
Tho export# of products in four woeks at
New Yorl: havo excooded last year's by$7,4ttl,-
482 in value, indicating an aggregate for thu
month probably exceeding $05,000,000, and at
the same time thero is a decroasc of 10 per
cent in tho value of imports. Thero is cortuin
to bo very largo balances payable on mer-
chandise account by Euro[>eand much anxiety
appears In some-quarters as to how the strain
abroad will bo met, but thus far there aro no
signs of real troublo, except in spoculativo
quarters.
It is to bo romouiborod also that tho country
is at present unusually independent of foreign
disasters or disturbances. The business fail-
ures occurring throughout tho country during
the last seven days nuinbor 295 as compared
with a total of 285 Inst week. For the corre-
sponding week last year the tigures wero 24lJ.
HESTER'S OOTTON REPORT.
New Ohleans, La., Nov. 27.—Secretary Hes-
ter's weekly Now Orleans cotton exchango
statement issued to-day shows a heavier move-
ment than was expected by tho trade, ns tho
amount brought into sight during the pant
week, including SOCIO bales plus correction, at
St. Louis by that exchange, was ovor 485,000
bales. The week's total show! a decrease of
74M bales as compared with last woek, but an
increase over the corresponding seven days of
hint fear of 84,668 bolet and 78.067 bales over
the same time the year before last.
The l« idinfl features of the \»e«k aro tho
largo overland export movements and the free
takings by American spinners. The net over-
laud reached 73,808 bales, against 52,464 for
the corresponding seven days of last season
and 40,iJ»7 for tho same time tho year before
last. ^

WaATHEH SYNOPSIS—FOBISCAST.
Galveston, Tex., Nov. 27.—The following
daily synopsis of the weather and local fore-
cast are furnished by the official in chartjo
of the United States weather bureau at tins
p lace:
An area of comparatively high pressure
overlies the middle aud south Atlantic ar.d
oast gulf status to-night, and is accompanied
by slight changes during tho past twenty-four
hours and nl>out normal temperature for this
season of the yoar, and clear weather. The
area of low pressure making its appearanco
over the northern i»ocky mountain slope last
night has moved rapidly across the country,
and is over the lower lakes suid tho Ohio val-
ley to-night, with a neck of low pressure ex-
tending southwest to tho Rio Grande, between
tho high pressure over tho southeastern por-
tion of the country and another area of hi,;h
pressure moving in over the northwestern part
of tho country with its crest over the Dakotas.
The low pressure extending from thu lower
lakes to western Texas has caused southerly
winds generally south of the 87th parallel, and
tin se have carried up warm air fTom the gulf
and given a nse in temperature of 10 to lf> de-
grees from Texas northeast to southern Ohio,
ana over this section the temperature is about
15 degrees above the normal.
The appcarance of tho high pressure ovor
tho northwestern i>ortion of tho country lias
been accompanied by a ahurp fall in tempera-
ture south, to Kansas City and Denver, nnd
gives a temperature 20 to JW degrees below tho
normal over portions of the Missouri and
Unper Mississippi valley.
ltain or snow is failing over the lower lake
region, and snow wus tailing at the time of
observation at Omaha, Denver, Cheyenne and
Rapid City.
The area of low pressure will move east-
ward ami cause a rise in temperature during
tho next twenty-four hours ove r tho Atlantic
and east gulf states and rain changing to
snow over iho north Atlantic states; the area
of high pressure will move from tho north-
west to the south of east and cuuse a full in
temperature of 10 to 20 degree.-, by Sunday
morning over the control Mississippi valley
and the Ohio valley and Tounc*aco.
