GENERAL TARIFF.
The Commission Promulgates
a New Rate Sheet
ON FLOUR, GRAIN AND SALT
Kule3 Proscribed for Prorating Between
Connecting Lines and at Junc-
tion Points.
ROAD FROM TRINITY TO LLANO.
Enttaualaatio Meeting at Cameron, Where
a New Company Is Organized-Rail-
way News from Various Points.
Austin, Tex., Aug. 14.-The rnilroail com-
mission to-day prouiulgated its first commod-
ity tariff for all the linen, to take effect Sep-,
tcmber 9, having heard and exhaustively con-
sidered the argument# of the railroad agents.
The tariff includes rates on grain, bran, mill
feed, milUtuff.H, and hay, and ou tlour, meal,
hominy and grits and on salt.
The rate 011 salt conforms to that the com-
mission submitted to the railroads without
any change, running from 6 cents per fivo
miles and under and increasing half a cent
every ten miles, or nearly so, up to 22 cents,
the maximum for 500 miles or over.
The rate 011 grain, etc., begins with five milos
and increases gradually from 5 cents up to the
maximum of 26 cents for 500 miles and over,
beiug, as estimated by the commission, an in-
crease of about 10 per cent on the grain tariff
they submitted to the railroads recently.
The Hour and meal tariff adopted to-day
shows about the same advance 011 the rates for
these commodities the commission first sub-
mitted to the railroads, and runs from 5 cents
for five miles up to 27 cents for 500 miles and
over, or nearly 10 per cent above the grain
rate on an average.
The following memoranda and explanations
are attached to tho sheet:
At ail points where railroads intersect or
meet at the same town or city from which
freight shall bo carried to the same point of
destination the longer line or lines of road
may charge rates of freight not lower than
that fixed for through freight on tho shortest
line between such points without atlecting
the rates to be charged at intermediate points
on said longest line or lines of road.
When any freight included in this tariff
shall be carried over two or more railroads or
parts of railroads not under the same control
the rates shall be determined by adding to-
gether the charges on the several railroads or
parts of railroads as prescribed in this tariff
for the respective distances such freight is
carried over each and deducting from the sum
20 per cent, provided that tho rate thus ob-
tained shall in no ease exceed the maximum
rate provided for in this tariff. The joint rate
thus ascertained may be divided between
roads over which freight is transported in such
proportion as may be agreed upon between
auMi roads.
f All connecting roads which are under tho
management and control, by lease, owner-
ship or otherwise, of one and the same com-
pany shall, for the purjxjses of transportation,
in applying this tariff, bo considered as con-
stituting but ono and the same road, aud rates
shall be computed as upon parts of rne and
the same road. The following named roads
and parts of roads may in their discretion add
10 per cent to the rates herein prescribed.
Railroads availing themselves of this privilege
must file with tho commission a list of
the stations at which tho increased
rate will be applied and also instruct their
Agents at such stations to add 10 per cent to
the ratee prescribed in this tariff; Fort Worth
and Denver City railroad, befween stations
west of Childress to and including Texline,
and the Washburne and Panhandle branch of
Wichita Valley railroad, Galveston, Harris-
burg and San Antonio railroad between sta-
tions west of Sau Antonio to and including El
Paso, Spofford junction to Eagle Pass in-
clusive ; Gulf and West Texas and Pacific rail-
road, Houston East and West Texas railroad,
New York, Texas aud Meican railroad, Sabine
and East Texas railroad, Texas and Mexican
railroad, Texas aud Pacific railroad west of
Colorado City to and including El Paso;
Sothern Krmsas railroad, Texas, Sabine
Valley and Northwestern railroad,
Texas Western railroad, International and
Great Northern railroad between stations west
of San Antonio to and including Laredo and
Houston and Columbia Tap, Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroad between Trinity and
Colmesneil, Aransas Pass railroad between
Skidmore aud Kleberg and San Antonio and
Kerrville.
This tariff docs not apply on the following
railroads: Brownsville and Gulf railroad,
Galveston and Western railroad, Lake Creek
railroad, Paris and Great Northern railroad,
Paris, Marshal and Sabine Valley railroad,
Kio Grande railroad, Rio Grande and El Paso
railroad, Rio Grande and Eagle Pass railroad,
Texarkana and Fort Worth railroad, Texas
Trunk railroad, Pecos Valley railroad, Kildare
and Linden.
Ah showing tho milage basis on grain is the
following: First five miles 5 cents, ten miles
6 cents, fifteen miles cents, twenty miles 6
cents, and running up to 8 cents for fifty miles,
I0)tj cents for 100 miles, 13 cents for 150 miles
and 15% cents for 200 miles. Above 200 miles
the rate on ten-mile jumps runs up to 10}^
cents for 250 miles, 17 cents for 300 miles, 17>£
cents for 350 miles, 18)^ cents for 400 miles,
22^i cents for 450 miles and 25 cents for 500
miles and over.
Flour begins at 5 cents and runs up as stated
to 27 cents for long hauls, being 10 per cent
abovo grain rntos and graiu rates oil long
hauls beiug generally about 15 per cent above
salt rates, though on short hauls salt rates aro
higher than flour rates.

(a understood, are well pleased, but as to tho

they were Urged before tho commission, they
tyill make a big protest.
The commission made lime rates for tho
Cotton Pelt to-day from Lime City to all
points on tho main lino 15 cents, except to

Early next week Poor's ManuiU of Railroads
for 1801 will be issued. For minute and ac-
curate information tho manual has long been
rooognized as the standard authority. From
advance sheets much interesting information
is obtained. During 181K) 5,498.38 miles of
new railway were built in the United States,
making at tho close of tho year a total of IM,-
HI7.41 miles. Based cm l*>3,420.i»4 miles, the

The Progress at Tumplco.
The following report of tho progress of tho
harbor improvements at Tampico, Mex., is
made by Resident Engineer Wrotnowski for
the Tampico Harbor company:
The north jetty is now 6835 feet long, and
south jetty 5340 feet. When 7000 feet long the
jetties will be in 24 feet of water, which will
be reached by October next. Tho distance
between the two jetties is 1000 feet. The bar
is of sand and mud. Tho river, when in llood,
has a discharge of 225,000 cubic feet per sec-
ond. This enormous flood of water will
quickly deepen tho bar to about 25
feet, when the jetty works are com-
pleted. Work was commenced on June
1, 1800. Since that time 1400 feet of
beach has been gained on each side
of the jetties, and from 1000 to 1400 hands are
now engaged in the work. About 700 cubic
yards of stone are dumped daily. An inex-
haustible supply of stone is had about sixty-
one miles from Tampico in the state of San
Luis Potosi. The piles aro brought to Tam-
pico from Pensacola and Pascagoula, Fla.
Mattresses of brush are from 75 to 85 feet at
tho bottom and about 30 feet at the top. Tho
average current of the river is five miles per
hour. The Panuco river has a depth of 25
feet a distance of about 80 miles inland to the
town of Tamos. It is calculated by the engi-
neers that vessels of tho largest draught may
enter in tho fall.
Locating surveys tiro about to bo com-
menced for tho branch between Sula and Pa-
cliuca, Mex., which, according to previous sur-
veys, will be about 45}£ miles long. It is
stated that as the construction of the line will
greatly shorten tho distance between the City
of Mexico and Tampico, tho fact will likely
have an important bearing on tho early com-
pletion of the work. There will bo a largo
local traffic as soon as tho lino is opened.
Trinity to Llano.
Camekox, Tex., Aug. 14.—This was tho day
fixed for representatives along the line of the
proposed railroad from Trinity to Llano to
meet in Cameron. The towns of Trinity,
Madisonville, Wheelock, Hearue, Branchvillo,
Maysfield, Davilla, Granger, Holland and
Georgetown were represented. Much earnest-
ness was manifested.
The convention of the delegates resolved to
organize a railway company to build a road
from Trinity along the route above named to
Granger and Georgetown. Holland fought
stubbornly for tho line to run its way, but was
defeated.
The capital stock of the company has
already been subscribed and 10 per cent paid
in. The right of way was pledged by delegates
from each county through which it will run,
and in addition a bonus equivalent to $500 per
mile. The fact that all the stock was taken so
readidly was a great surprise to many, and the
secret has become an open one that the Mis-
souri, Kansas and Texas road is behind tho
throne.
Tho city is banqueting tho visiting delegates
tonight at the City park.
The Union Pacific's New Director.
New Yoke, Aug. 14.—Although 110 official
statement has yet been made in regard to tho
action of the conference of the Uunion Pacific
directors yesterday it is generally believed that
Alexander E. Orr, ex-president of the produce
exchange, was elected a member of the
executive committee of the directoiV in
place of F. L. Ames. It- is reported also
that Orr has boon made chairman of the finance
committee. He has been prominent in tho
present Union Pacific situation. Ho repre-
sents large interests in the Hock Island, and
the fact that ho has come to the front
in the Union Pacific is regarded as
indicating that the Burlington and Hook Island
people do not think they can afford to let the
Union Pacific lack support.
,T. Pierrepont Morgan did not attend yes-
terday's meeting, but it is currently reported
that lie has gone into the plan for the relief of
the Union Pacific to the extent of $400,000 or
$500,000. Ho refuses to say anything ubout
the matter at present.
Rolling Stock In the United States.
The rolling stock of railways in tho United
States, aggregated by Poor's Manual from tho
company returns for their fiscal years, ending
at different periods in 1890, were represented
as follows: Locomotives, 32.-11; passenger
cars, 22,958; baggage, mail and express cars,
7258; freight cars, 1,061,790; total number
cars, 1,092,241. These figures indicate nil in-
crease of 1200 locomotives and 11,143 cars of
all kinds in the preceding year. Ah many of
the company reports from which tho state-
ment is made are now from six months to
more than a year old, the present equipment
of tho roads is considerably greater than tho
totals show (provided tho latter contain no
duplications), and it may bo said that, in
round numbers, there aro now in tho United
States at least 33,000 locomotives and over
1,100,000 earn.
Harvest, Excursions Southward*
St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 14.*—The Iron Moun-
tain, Cotton Belt and 'Frisco have announced
three harvest excursions from St. Louis to
Cairo, Memphis und Arkansas and Texas
points, starting August 25. September 15 and
September 'JO, at one and one-third fare for
the round trip* _
A Projected Mississippi Ko.nl.
Now Orleans Picayune.
Tho Illinois Central heads have for some
time had their eyes 011 a promising connection,
which would open up a great deal of impor-
tant business to their line* It is said that pre-
liminary surveys have been made. Tho dis-
tance from Now Orleans to Natchez, ono of
Mississippi's important points, is now 214
miles. The Illinois Central project is to cut
across from Brookhaven to Natchez, which
would only require the building of fifty-five or
sixty miles of track. The distance to Brook-
haven is 129 miles, so that the whole line to
Natchez would he only from 184 to 190 miles.
The branch road would run through one of
the richest portion of Mississippi, and, be-
side>, that would give the Illinois Central con-
nections north nnd south with the contem-
plated extension of the Aransas Pass, which
recently passed into the hands of the Santa
Fo system, thus carrying tho war into Texas.
The Meeting Was llarmoiilonw.
St. Louis, Mo., Aug, 14.—Tho representa-
tives of Texas lines who wero in session hero
for the purpose of adjusting freight rates from
Kansas to Texas points havo adjourned, and
though 110 information could be obtained as
to what was accomplished, it is understood
that the mooting was harmonious.
Railroad Notes.
Bryan Snyder, traveling freight agent of
the Santa Fe, was in tho city yesterday.
General Agent E. L. Barcroft of the Cotton
Belt was circulating among Galveston shippers
yesterday.
J. P. Pennington, live stock agent of the
Santa Fo, was hero consulting with officials
of the road yesterday.
Colonel E. M. Underbill, general auditor of
of tho Southern Pacific company. Atlantic
system, accompanied by Ins son Walter, is vis-
iting Victoria.
P. T. Downs, division superintendent of the
Santa Fe at Cleburne, and C. S. Hayden, di-
vision superintendent of the same ry/id at
Tompio, were in town yesterday.
Tho International will sell round trip tickets
to Houston to-morrow at $1 for the round trip.
Trains leave Galveston at 7.45 a. m., 0 a. m.
and 2. 40 p. m. and returning leave Houston at
5.35 p. in. and 8.115 p. m. These Sunday ex-
cursions are very popular aud are liberally
patronized*
Tho Brotherhood of Railroad Conductors
will hold its annual meeting in Louisville,
Ky., September 21. It was the intention to
hold it at Jacksonville, Fla., but on account of
the hot weather which prevails in Florida at
tins season of the year it was decided to
change the place of meeting to Louisville.
The excursion train over tho Santa Fo
bringing the Houston firemen down for a
day's pleasure in Galveston will arrive from
Houston at 10.45 to-morrow morning. Prepa-
rations have been made by the Galveston fire
department and citizens to properly receive
the visiting firemen and look after their enter-
tainment.
Large posters and bills about the streets and
on the dead walls announce the great excur-
sion to Fort Worth and Dallas under the au-
spices of the Oleandor and Magnolia Excur-
sion club, which occurs on the 23d. The
round trip rate of $«>, including a day in Fort
Worth and two in Dallas, with a trip to Oak
Cliff thrown in, will induced hundreds to join
the excursioa.
The Santa Fc is making preparations to
carry a big crowd of excursionists to Houston
on the 7 o'clock train to-morrow morning.
Tickets will be sold at $1 for the round trip
and excursionists can return at 5.35 p. m. or
8.35 p. m. This affords a splendid chance for
those desiring so to do to s|>end the Sabbath
with their neighbors up the bayou.
The Pacific Short Line railroad, which runs
from Sioux City west through Nebraska 120
miles, will bo sold at public auction in Omaha
on September 1. The road was organized to
be built from Soux City to Ogden, to connect
the lines leading from Chicago to Sioux City
with the Southern Pacific road. The Chicago
and Northwestern, Illinois Central and the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Pau 1 are said to
have, each, an eye on tho property.
It is given out unofficially, says the Railway
Age, that in 1890 the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas earned nearly 3K cent for its sec-
ond mortgage bonds. The gross earnings fur
the first six months of 1891 havo increased
$200,714, and it is considered fair to esti-
mate that for tho year, because of good
crops, tho gross increase will be $500,000,
thus making the gross earnings $9,550,000.
Allowing that the operating expenses were as
high as 111 1890, 70 per cent, which is too high
for a road on which over $5,000,000 has been
spent in bettering since it left Mr. Gould's
hands, thero would be net earnings of $2,850,-
000, or a surplus for the preferred steck after
all charges were paid. This satisfactory show-
ing, however, was given out before the Texas
railway commission had announced its
aggressive policy and may have to be modified
in the event of the commission's throat being
put into operation. ^
A MYSTERIOUS CASE.

A Young Man Mission ancl Supposed to
Have Been Murdered.
Hesbietta, Tex., Aug. 14.—It was reported
hero lute yesterday evening that two young
men started from Parker county about two
■weeks «t,'° 011 horseback for thiscounty. Some
parties of this county met them coming to-
ward Henrietta. Shortly afterwards one of
them was seen going back leading the other's
horse. Nothing was thought of the matter
until a few days ago when a gentleman claim-
ing to bo the father of tho missing young man
came here inquiring for his son.
The young man accounted for tho disap-
pearance of the other by saying that ho had
gotten on the wagon of a man who was carry-
ing a load of wood toward Henrietta nnd who
was driving a gray and bay horse. The man
that drives such a team as described says that
no such person got 011 his wagon to come to
Henrietta. Yesterday evening clothes stained
with blood wore found near the place where
the young man claims I10 parted with his
friend. It is the opinion here that ho was
murdered aud his body concealed somewhere
near. m
Quartette of Youthful Cattle Dealers.
Dkntoj*, Tex., Aug. 14.—Four young Ameri-
cans, aged from 10 to 15 years and sons of re-
spectabio citizens in and near Denton, wore
arrested and placed undor bond this week
charged with theft of cattle. It appears that
they deliberately went up on tno range,
rounded up four yearlings and drove them
into this city in tho daytime and ottered them
for sale to a butcher at $2 per head. The ex-
treme low price excited suspicion and the lada
were taken charge of by the officers. The ex-
amining trial comes off to-morrow.

FLASHED MANY A BRIGHT
BEAM FROM JAPEKS WHITE ON
PALL A ) COFFIN LID,
T
But Their Gleams Were Pale to the Tender
Licht of a Face in the Gold
Oak Hid.
Boston, Mass., Aug. 14.—The simple but
impressive funeral sorviees over the remains
of tho late .1 aines Husseil Lowell were held in
Appleton ehaple, Cambridge, at noon to-day.
The chapel was crowded to overflowing, and
many who dosired to be present wero unable
to do so. There wore no sorviees at Kim wood,
tho poet's late home.
Shortly after 12 o'clock the funeral proces-
sion into the church was led by tho officiating
clergy followed by the pall bearers, then the
body and behind all the relatives and family.
Mrs. Burnett, in deepest mourning, was es-
corted by her oldest son. Burnett and tho
rest of the children came next, followed by
tho nurses and servants. Bishop Phillips
Brooks and Rev. Win. Lawrence, dean of the
Episcopal theological school of Cambridge,
mot the remains in tho vestibule, Rev. Mr.
Lawrence reading, "I am the resurrection
and tho life," an they preceded the casket
down tho church. The coffin which was borne
by the undertaker's assistants, was covered
with black broadcloth and bore a silver plate
on which was inscribed: "Died August 12,
1801, J auies Russell Lowell, ageu 72 years 6
months."
Tho floral tributes were very few in number
and modest in character. An ivy wreath
picked at Elmwood rested on the head of the
casket, another wreath of ivy from Mrs. Field
hung over one cover of the reading desk, and
a wreath of roses from Mi's. Putnam lay upon
the floor at the base of the pulpit. The ser-
vices in the church were very simple, consist-
ing solely of tho Episcopal service for the
dead. There were no services at the grave.
While the body was being conveyed to its
last resting place in Mount Auburn church
the bells throughout the city were tolled and
flags displayed at half-mast. The grave is in
tho center of the family lot, which is a double
one containing the remains of generations of
the Lowells and Putuams,the latter being Mr.
Lowell's only living sister's family.
It is conspicuous on aceounnt of its extreme
plainness and simplicity. It is uninclosod, be-
iug without granite curbing, hedge, or even
location blocks. No monument marks the
spot, and only small, plain tombstones aro at
the head of each grave. The sjiot which has
been selected for the poet's grave, and which,
it is understood, is of his own choosing, is ro-
mantically situated under two large horn bean
trees, one of which is directly at tho foot of
the grave and tho other on the right of its head.
These trees are never trimmed, and their chief
charm is their natural and weird growth. The
lot is in a valley in the rear of the cemetery
and directly in the shadow of Longfellow's lot
on India Ridge avenue, where rest the remains
of America's famous bard. Thus two poets,
who were neighbors in life, may be said to oc-
cupy the same relations in death.
The bell in the little chapel in Mount Au-
burn cemetery tolled solemnly while the
hearse bearing the remains of the poet, fol-
lowed by many carriages, was drawn through
the gates. In tlie cemetery there was a great
crowd gathered. When tho cortege entered
the cemetery through tho granito archway
the police cleared tho space About the grave
and none but the mourners were allowed in
close proximity the.eto. The long train of
carriages wound around Ash avenue past tho
minatuie lake and by Fountain avenue to the
newly made grave. Besides the luxuriant
hornbeams all about are great elm and
beech trees, and the spot is ono of the most
picturesque in the ffpeat cemetery. The fresh
upturned earth wis covered with newly cut
fir, and golden Tiki was thickly strewn
about. The wide-spreading tangled foliage
of the hornbeam trees was held within bonds
by garlands of flr. Tho people clamored
upon the hill and sat about the grassy slope as
the precious burden was lifted out bv the pall
bearers, aud with uncovered heads the mourn-
ers stood beneath the waving trees.
Bishop Brooks pronounced the last prayer,
which was the full Episcopal service, for al-
though Lowell was a Unitarian it was his wish
that the funeral service should be from the
Episcopal service book.
Dean William Lawrence assisted at the
grave, and, with the pronouncing of the words
''dust to dust" by Brooks, the young grandsons
of the dead poet, James Burnett Lowell and
Joseph Burnett, Jr., came forward and took
part in tho linal service. The relatives and
mourners then turned to their carriages and
were driven away. Tho grave was filled and
mounded, the limbs of the hornbeams were
released and swayed back to their natural po-
sition over the last resting place of the poet.
Funeral of the Late Editor Jones.
New Yohk, Aug. 14.—Tho funeral of Mr.
George Jones of tho New York Times took
place to-day from All Souls' church, on Madi-
son avenue. Rev. Dr. It. Heber Newton offi-
ciated. The edifice was filled with the rela-
tives, friends and business associates of the
dead editor. Delegations wero present from
all the departments of tho Times. As the fu-
neral procession entered the church Dr. New-

After the services in the church the remains

thence to Woodlawn cemetery in the private

Webb. Only a tew or the most intimate
friends of the family accompanied tho rela-
tives and pallbearers to the place of burial.
A Grave Robber Holds Up a Faro Dealer.
Dayton, O., Aug. 14.—A young man answer-
ing the description of the Columbus grave
robber lost $1!»U playing faro in Sam Wagner's
gambling house on Main street hero yester-
day. At o'clock this morning a man walked
into tho gambling room up stairs where a
game was going on, and, with a cocked re-
volver in each hand, compelled the dealer, old
Sam Wagner, to refund the money. With his
revolvers still covering Wagner and his out-
look and helper tho young fellow backed out
of tho room and walked through tho crowded
barroom into the street and was gone before
the news of the doed had gotten down stairs.

aro very busy with preparations and propose
Monday or Tuosday as the time for the decis-
ive experiment. Professors Meyer and Cus-
tellar, baloonists, and Professor Rosell, chem-

the expedition, except as a coincidence, but
they are hopeful of success iu the final test.
About fifty balloons, inflated with explosive
gas, as many kites with wire dynamite tails,
and on terra firma mortars will bo discharged,
not simultaneously but in rapid succession,
while scientific observations will bo taken by
balloonists iu mid air, and General Dyrenforth
and staff on earth connected by telephone.
The program 1110 is elaborate, the material
abundant and tho science involved exhaustive.
Success means the regeneration of this coun-
try. Every movement will be closely watched
and the facts furnished tho Naws. ilve news-
paper men are on the ground.
