Railway SPIKES.

George H. Grain, Esq, master trans
portation Texas and Pacific, and adj
ministrator of the estate of Ii. X.
Thomas, deceased, arrived yesterday
on the 1880 A. NJ, train.
The prospects of the Texas and Pa
ciic bill passing congress are more
flattering daily. AS an act of simple
justice to the south, congress should
pass this bill. 1t would give a new
impetus to the PROSTATE industries of
our country and make Texas what she
is destined naturally to be, the empire
state Of the south.
General G. M. Dodge and Tom Scott
are still In Washington city, pressing
the merits of the Texas and Pacific
railway to government aid. Texas
wishes them success.
I. ID. Maurer, Esq, of Philadelphia,
succeeded William Mahl, on the first
instant as auditor of the Texas and Pa
citic. The last named gentleman re-
turus to his first love, the Short Line
railroad, from Louisville, Ky.
Should the Texas and Pacific subsidy
bill pass congress an auditor for the
construction department of the road
will be in order. In this connection
the name of the former chief clerk Of
the auditing department of the Califor-
mia and Texas railway construction
company is favorably mentioned. The
gentleman in question is admitted to
be one of the best accountants and
bookkeepers in the employ of the COM
pany, and carries very old head on
pair of young shoulders. He is quiet
and unassuming, and has made him.
self numerous friends both in the bust
ness and social circles of Marshall,
where with the exception of short
trip to Philadelphia last autumn, he
has been located for two years past.
The time of the Texas and Pacific
first-class mail and express, from Dali
las to Texarkana, Is fourteen hours
distance two hundred and twenty-oHe
miles.
Charlie Babcock, Esq, in whose
blooming cheek the lily, rose and
good living all seem to vie with each
other 1--WE don't know where he
boards), was out, yesterday, with his
little hammer and box of tacks deco
rating the different hotels and depots
with his usual pronuncamentos, "Best
route" "Shortest time" pullman
sleepers," "Vandalia line" SONY
road to Paradise" etc. 1t is our firm
belief that II Charles and General
George Washington had been chums
together at Mount Vernon, the "Father
Of his Country" would neverh have been
allowed the privilege Of transmitting
to American youth the time-honored
story of his "Little Hatchep' aud the
cherry tree. Charlie.would have trad
ed him tack hammer for his little
Thomashawk, and put him to work
lacking dodgers on his paternal an
cestor's cherry trees. "Buy your tick
e.s BY the Vandalia line"

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1875-07-24

On Tuesday evening the lads and lasscs OF
MarseiIles, to the number Of over one hundred
and fifty, visited this city on an excursion per
steamer Belle OF Ottawa They arrived At
about nine o'clock and departed in about an
hour for home, They were accompanied by
their baad and seemed to enjoy themselves
hugely. A much better time would haye been
had had our people known Of their coming in
time to have made arrah gcmeuts TO meet the cX.
curslonists with the band and committees Of re-
ccption. We hope to meet our neighbOrs again
at no distant day, and to know of their coming
sufficiently long ahead to give them fitting
welcome.
In connection with this excursion we desire to
call the attention OF the police and other officers
occasion to insult the visitors Is their boat was
leaving the wharf.
The people composing that excursion were
ladies and gentlemen, and for rabble OF boys
to be permitted to hiss and howl, to swear and
utter obscene remarks to so refined party OF
visitors, is disgrace TO the city and 4 NUISANCE
which should be abatcd by the imposition Of
the highest penalty Of the law. II the young
men don't know any better let them be kept ut
home, and if they do q term Of sixty days in the
county Jail wONld be none too severe 4 punish
ment upon any who would thus insult rcspecta-
bic people. We trust that the authorities will
look after the matter, and also desire to assure
our Marscillcs friends that such treatment shall
never occur again,

they attempted to carry into effect their threats,
and accordingly waylaid Clayton, and with
stones nearly killed him. His head was badly
cut in several places, and his face mutilatcd.
One cash, made apparently with stone, nearly
severed his nose from his face, so much SO, in
fact that in breathing his breath came out near
his eyes
James Wcch was arrested and brought to the
jail for safe keeping, as one of the assassins and
the other two effected their escape, The follow
