Suits to Reclaim Lands from Railways—Par-
doned by the Governor—Chartered.
Austin, Tex., Oct. 5.—Suits are reported
nearly ready to reclaim from railroad com-
panies the land they received from the state
for sidetracks. The governors—whoever
they were—responsible for certifying to the
land office (or certificates for sidings may
he called as witnesses to explain their lib-
erality.
Dr. Frank Rainey of the blind institute

Will likely require bis removal to New
York, where the facilities are better.
Chartered to-day: The J. W. Burson com-
pany of Galveston, capital £20,000; business,

panies filing charters are the Merlin Iron

The governor has pardoned Robert Metz
of Masou county, charged with forgery. The
record is not conclusive as to bis guilt, and
he is failing in health.
Also pardoned Abrain Casonova and Va-
silo Vidal, two young Mexican boys con-
vieted of theft in Nueces county because of
their Ignoranco of the guilt of their action,
and having served half their sentenco in

Dad ly Disorganized.
Washington, Oct 5.—[Special]—Jimmie
Nevvcomb smiled when The News man
asked him this evening how he was getting
along in his chase for the San Antonio post-
office. "Very well," he said, "but that isn't
what brings me here this time. A man
can't afford to come to Washington twice
for one postoffice. Private business brings
me now. However, my chances are not bad.
Who are- my competitors? I really don't
know them all» Mr. Johnson, a lawyer of
my town, is probably the most prominent.
Then there is a lightning rod man, a milk-
man, a watermelon man, and, a report says,
a tamale man; but I am not sure about the
last. A cousin of Senator Blair of New
Hampshire is in the ring also, but the col-
ored barber who was said to have postoffice
aspirations positively declares that he is
not an applicant." A further talk with the
gentleman revealed the fact that he expects
new postmasters both at San Antonio and
Austin during the present month.
A curious thing is tho delay in the ap-
pointment of a collector at Corpus Chrlsti.
Everybody who protends to know anything
about it thinks Calvin Brewster will be
chosen, and it has been published, too, that
his commission was sent to the president
while at Beer Park. If so, the president did
not sign it.
The Saluria district is also awaiting a
new collector. At one ttmo it seemed that
Hartup had the call there, but opposition
has developed. It is charged that he lives
In Dallas, which is out of tho district, and
for that reason will fare as did lie Gress,
who would have won the El Paso collector-
Bhip but for non-residence. Judge A.
P. Tugwell of San Antonio is a
strong candidate for collector of the Saluria
district, aud being backed by Dennis
O'Connor, the wealthy ranchman, has de-
cidedly the odds in his favor.
Mr. R. J. Gordon, lately superintendent
of tlie public building at San Antonio, is
here to claim the band of ono of Washing-
ton's fairest belles. They wed at Trinity
church next Wednesday, and the event will
shortly bo followed by a similar one in
which another San Antonian, Mr. Will
HerlT, is one of the principals.

THE PENSION MUDDLE.
WAR BETWEEN BROKERS
In Chicago Still Active—Action of Broker
Wallace.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 5.—Tho war between
the New York brokers who were squeezed
in tho pork corncr and Chicago board of
trade goes merrily on. In Judge Shepard's
court this morning Broker Wallace filed an
affidavit stating that the International
Packing company had violated tho injunc-
tion served upon them yesterday. Wallace,
it seems, had contracted to buy 250 barrels
of the company in spite of the order of :he
court restraining tho delivery of tho pork.
The company olfered to make the delivery,
and upon Wallace's refusing the tender
sold the pork at auction for $10 50 per bar-
rel. The compa-y then sent a bill to Wal-
lace for the margins. All this was dono in
accordance with one of the rules of the
board. No further arguments in tho mat-
ter of the injunction were made this morn-
ing.
Gainesvitls.
gainesville, Tex., Oct. 5.—John Wood,
a horse trader, who has been camping near
this city some days, attacked his wife an:l
small child last night with a largo levolver,
beating them about tho head, dnngerously
wouuditig the wife and child. Wood was
arrested by the city authorities last night
and placed in the calaboose, and paid a fine
for disturbing tho peace, and as soon as re-
leased ho was arrested by the atato author-
ities and placed uuder bond for his appear-
ance before Judge Iloluiau next Mouday.
He secured bondsmen.

Tyler, Tex. Oct. 5—J. Corry Joyner,
who is said to have worked Galveston, Hal-
las and other places last summer, was i
given two years upon conviction in the dis j

against him here.
A petition and bond were filed to-day for

Horribly Burned.
San Antonio, Tex., Oct. 5.—This morn-
ing William Sherman aud Joseph MeKlloy,
employes of Dreiss, Thompson & Co.,
wholesale druggists, entered the cellar after
some goods. They struck a match near
some varnish tanks and an explosion Imme-
diately occurred. Sherman was horribly
biiroel and may not recover. McElloy was
bat slightly hurt.
no solution as yet.
Washington, Oct. 5.—From all accounts
tho administration is no nearer a solution
i of the pension commissionership than it
was after William Warner entered his
formal and irrevocable declination. Tho
man that Harrison would appoint can not
secure the indorsement of Alger and the
Grand Army, and tho man that Alger and
the Grand Army are ready to indorse Harri-
son does not feel justified in appointing.
Harrison was anxious to secure tho services
of General llartrunft ot Pennsylvania for
the place, and although now an old man, in
feeble health, llartranft was willing to uu-
dcrtako it, and sought the indorsement of
Commander-in-chief Alger. After a liaety
conference over tho wires with Tanner,
Alger declined to indorso Hartraaft, and
consequently ho was laid out. Alger, at
Tanner's suggestion, indorsed Campbell of
Kansas, but the president, for somo reason
of his own, refuses to appoint Csmpbell,
although Noble Is one of his advocates. It
is thought that Harrison has an idoa that
Campbell has not general roputatiou
enough for the office, as he is not known
very much outside of Kansas.
Gossip again is diverted in the direction ]
of General Powell of Belleville, 111 , and
Judge Hao of Minnesota. It is understood,
however, that Alger has declined to indorso
Hae, and consequently it is presumed that
he stands no ehance of being appointed.
General Powell was a candid;,to for tho
place when Tanner was originally appoint-
ed, an l it is understood that he pushed his
claims with such warmth then as to give
offense to tho corporal, and hence It is not
likely that tho corporal will cow npproveof
the appointment. Alger aud Tanner are
working in accord, and tho commander-in-
chief will indorse no man that is not ap-
proved by the corporal. This is what
Tanner's friends dtclare. Employes of tho
pension bumil who were very uloso to Tan-
ner during his administration of that office
give it out that Tanner has power enough
to prevent the appointment ot any first-clas.
man with, heti rand Army indorsement while
Noble and Bussey remain in the interior
department. Tanner is keeping very quiet
with his mouth, but he is doing a great lot
of thinking. His feelings against Bussey
are very bitter, and those who know him i
liest declare that he will not rest satisfied 1
until he has Bussey's scalp. General
McAlccr of Brooklyn, who Is supposed to
be a friend of the corporal, is talked of
somewhat, bat it is more than likely that
itis friends!, p for the corporal will be suf-
ficient to spoil his chances. Hir.int Smith

and the employes are almost entirely disor-
ganized, and 'everything is going tcpsy- |

SERIOUS ERRORS
In the New High License Law In Michigan
—Liquor Men Jubilant.
Lansing, Mich., Oct. 5.—The error found
in the new high license law Thursday was
nothing to the blunders that liavo been dis-
covered since. All the newly found errors
are in section 1, the most vital section of
the bill, because it prescribes the amount
that the saloon keepers aud wholesalers
shall pay in liquor taxes. Section 1 of the
act in the form in which it was signed by
the governor and is now law. differs radi-
cally from the bill as passed by the legisla-
ture. The act as signed and printed fixes
the wholesale tax on spirituous liquors at
$500, instead of S600, as recommended by tho
conference committee ar>d agreed to.
License for "selling both spirituous and
malt liquors at wholesale and retail ap
pears at $1000, instead of $1100 as passed.
The senate adopted the provision allow-
ing wholesalers of spirituous liquors also to
wholesale malt liquors, without additional
license. Tho conference committee struck
this out, yet it is retained in law. Owing
to this blunder dealers can wholesale spirit-
uous and malt liquo-s on payment of only
$500 license, while the act as passed by the
legislature required $600 for spirituous and
$500 for malt liquors, or $1100 in all. I t is
probable that the mistakes were made in-
nocently by the clerk, who attempted to put
the act into coherent shape for the engross-
ing room, but the liquor men are confident
that it will enabla them to riddle the law
in court. The clause increasing the retail
tax from $300 to $500 was in the mutilated
section, and it is believed that tho saloons
can force the state to go back to the old $:j00
tax law or else knock out the tax feature
entirely.

With Embezzlement.
New York, Oct. 5.—[Special]—AProvi-
denco (R. I.) special to the World nays:
Gilman P. Robinson, the only son of ex
President E. P. Robinson of Brown uni-
versity, is an embezzler and a fugitive. He
bad been register cf the university for sev-
eral years, having been appointed by re-
quest of his father. The latter gave up his
chair last Juno, and about that time a
slight irregularity was discovered in the
register's account. A student's bill was re-
ported unpaid, but it was discovered that
the register had received a check for it and
neglected to give credit. This led to an in-
vestigation, and two sets of books were dis-
covered. Robinson kept one for the univer-
sity aud oue for himself, and they differed
materially,
I (It was his duty to keep a record of the
students at college, including thoso who
had been suspended, dismissed or had vol-
untarily withdrawn from tho university-
He kept a correct record of this for himself
and a doctored list for tho college. Au ex-
port was called in to examine tho books and
tracod tho crookedness back to three years
ago. The amount of tho shortage is not
yet determined but it will be quito large,
Robinson's friends are trying to excuse
him by alleging errors only, but the trus-
tees very decidedly voted to probe tho mat-
ter to the bottom and Robinson must stand
the consequences. The registrar was mar-
ried two years ago and received a salary of
$1000ayear. Ho left the college on Sep-
ber 4. _

Stockton, Cal., Oct. 5.—The grand jury
of San Joaquin county has presented its
final report concorning the case of Deputy

facts show that tho killing of Judao Terry

whilo the constitution and laws of the state
require that a crime against its laws should
be tried thereunder the accused was taken
from the power of the state by process ema-
nating from tho Unitod States circuit
court. The report continues: Tha United
States circuit court has decided that Nagle
can not be tried by the state court. Essen-
tially for a like want of jurisdiction, from
which it is fair to conclndo that he can uot

1 loltttf UcfceU,
Palestine, Tex., October 5 —Tlie late
statement that tlie International and Great
Northern directors had rented offices at
Galveston and would move the traffic de-
partment there is premature. The direct-
ors have made no such move, but it appears
that the receivers lmd sanctioned it with-
out, however, any orders from the court.
Yesterday a committee of leading citizens
of Palestine, composed of Messrs. Geo. A.
Wright, W. M. Lacy, Abe Teah and Oscar
Sawyers, went to Tyler to confer with J edge
McCord in reference to the reported re-
moval of the ounces. Judge McCord stated
that he had made no order for any such ac-
tion, and he promptly wired Receivers Bon-
ner aud Eddy to stop all steps looking to
such removal. Tho offices aud shops were
located here by an agreement between the
company and this county, under which the
county granted $100,000 subsidy bonds for
that purpose. Judge Reagan stated in a
letter to Judge McCord that he was per-
sonally cognizant of the agreement and
many other prominent citizens stand ready
to substantiate it. Under a law passed by
the last legislature such agreements are
enforced by severe penalties against corpo-
rations, and the spirit of tho law at least
applies to receivers. The committee speak
in the highest terms of the courtoous and
kindly treatment of thein by Judge Mc-
Cord, by whoso court the receivership is op-
erated, and by the citizens generally of
Tyler. The people here have entire confi-
dence that tue judge will not permit any
injustice to be done.
Later—A telegram was received hero lata
this evening from Austin stating that At-
torney-general Hogg had wired Receivers
Bonner and Eddy that the state of Texas
would enforce all penalties against them
for removing or attempting to remove any
part of the general offices from Palestine.

railroad excursion.
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 5.—M. E. Ingalls of
the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St.
Louis railroad, arrived here this morning
with a special train, conveying a party of
leading business msn from Cincinnati and
Indianapolis. Along with him came his
assistant, Mr. Wm. M. Groene, his traflio
manager, Mr. Murray, and his general pass-
enger agent, Mr. D. B. Martin, and Mr.
Walker of the Kanawha Dispatch line.
Since Mr. Ingalls took charge of the recent
additions to tha Vanderbilt lines in tlie
west ho has had in mind the building up of
a southwestern passenger traffic. This ex-
cursion is to exhibit to St. Louis tho prog-
ress of that plan. Tho train which he
brought from Cincinnati is a nevv
oue, built to meet tho most fastidi-
ous travelers' wants, and Is a sample of
tlio through solid train which is to
begin to morrow and run daily between St.
Louis and New York. It is vestibuled of
course, and beside Wagner sleepers of the
most luxurious pattern, it will contain a
parlor car, a dining car and a eafc ot smok-
ing and observation car. Leaving here in
