The Trans.COntinentaI.

From a friend who is indirectly con.
nected with the Texas and Pacific, and
who has spent. the last two months in
Philadelphia, we learn the status of the
company, and the real prospect for the
completion of the road. The friend re-
ferred to is a personal friend of Mr..
Scott and of Mr. Bond, president OF
the construction company, and the in
formation he gives may be regarded as
reliable. He says that Mr.. Scott en-
phatically denies that any negotiation
has ever taken place for the sale of the
Trans-C Continental to any other COM
pany, and states positively that that
branch of the road can not be bought
at any price.
cepted the presidency of the Pennsyl-
vania Central, with the express under
standing that it should in no way in
terfere With his presidency of the Tex
as and Pacific, and that 1t is the great
object of his life to complete this great
road across the continent. BY an ar
rangement, which was recently pub
lished, the company has secured the
consent of its creditors to the amount
of its mortgage bonds, from $4,000
per mile, to 1000 per mile, and has
made similar arrangement in regard
to it's construction bonds, and nego-
tations are now pending for the sale of
large number of these bonds.
Mr. Bond, president of the construc-
ton company, assured our friend that
the bonds would certainly be sold and
that by the 1st day of March, 1875, they
would put large force on the road,
and complete both branches to Fort
Worth during the coming year.
Every arrangement is being made
for commencing the work early in
March, and it will be pushed all along
the line. He says that they will ask
for no further time i'm the construction
of the road, but will have it completed
within the time prescribed by law.
MIR. Scott informed him that he felt
certain that his bill providing for the
endorsement of the interest on the
company's bonds by the government,
would be passed without trouble by
the next congress, and that as soon as
this was done, arrangements would be
made for the immediate and rapid
construction of the road west of Fort
Worth. Colonel Scott stated that
when this bill was passed, work would
be carried on from both ends of the
line.
The company will not wait for the
endorsement of its bonds to complete
the road as far as Fl. Worth, but will
raise the money on the plan men,
toned above for that purpose.
We consider this news as entirely re-
liable, and confidently expect to see
our Trans-Continentai road completed
to Texarkana by the first day of July,

The influence of the stomach ON the
brain should be carefully needed. Let
the stomach be in slight degree dis
turbed, and the entire nervous system
is sufferer. Bring the stomach to a
healthy tone, aud the nervous ma
chinery promptly resumes its perfect
running order. Happily, there is no
necessity for any long disagreement of
the functions of the stomach, since in
Ayers pills we have so perfect CON-
bination, admirably adapted for relief.
They have stood the test of years, and
have exhibited stomachic properties
most wonderful. Their wise use, by
keeping the system in perfect order,
promotes longevity, and what is far
better, ensures the full enjoyment Of
the time spent here. We use them,

New Or ems and Dallas.

There is no abatement i'm the inter
est exhibited to build the railroad from
New Orleans to Texas. On Friday
evening meeting of the incorpora-
tors of the New Orleans and Texas
Western railroad company and bust
ness men of New Orleans was con-
vened at the chamber of commerce.
The following is Il report of the pro.
ceedings:
The meeting was organized by Mr..
L. III. Gardner, who called Mr.. w. b.
Schmidt to the chair. III. o. SeiXas,
Esq, was elected secretary.
Mr.. Schmidt stated the object of the
meeting to be the interest of a railroad
to Texas. 1t was proposed to organize
a company under the charter of the
New Orleans aud Texas Western Gen.
trail railroad company, granted about
year ago, which provides for sub
scription of not less than one hundred
thousand dollars, when the company
could proceed to business.
Mr.. G. w. r. Bayley said that he
thought there was but one duty for the
meeting to perform, and that was to
authorize the commissioners named in
the charter to open subscription books.
After lengthy and animated discuss
sion, participated in by Messrs. Bayley,
l.. III. Gardner, G. III. Conrad, Cyrus
Busy, 7. N. Marks, Wash Marks and
John Peat, Mr.. Bayley's motion was
adopted.
Under the charter of the proposed
company, as soon as the amount of
S450,000 or more Is subscribed, there
must be meeting of the stockholders

Falsely Accused.

A correspondent of the Pail Mall Ga
zette, writing from Paris, says The
public doubtless remembers the series
of murders committed at Limours few
months ago, and how the rural postman,
Desire Legrand, hanged himself, after
first writing down the names of the as
sassins fer the benefit of the authorities
and society. One man, a butcher, nam
ed Leboeuf, was able to prove an alibi,
and so after six weeks solitary confne-
ment he was released, and now, after
two months and a half of close impris-
onment, the other parties arrested on
the dying declaration of Desire Lee
grand have been released. Two of
these unfortunate men appear to have
been above all suspicion, and to have
met with perfect ovation on returning
to their native village. It would be
difficult to imagine anything more dia-
bolical than man on the brink of the
grave writing a deliberate falsehood
calculated to imperil the lives of half a
dozen persons. The Limours mystery
is far from being cleared up.
