During II recent visit to Marshall
we had the pleasure Of meeting T. d.
Maurcr, Esq, the new auditor of the
Texas and Pacific railway. lie Is u
very clever, genial gentleman, aud
Is beloved and respected alike by ms
employees aud all who come In con-
tact with him.
John Adamson, who las many OF
our readers will rcmembcO was the
first agent of the Cali fornla and Texas
Railway Construction company ut
Dallas in 1872, was appointed general
supply agent ofthe construction de-
partment of the Texas and Paulllcsome
time since. The Pioneer Club from
the chaplain down, all wish him sue
cess.
Mrs. Turk, u widowed sister of Mrs.
John Adamson, of Marshall, was mar
ried n short time since in Poughkeep-
sic, New York.
No transportation company can
boast of more courteous aud accom-
modating set of officials, from the big
hearted, side-whiskered superintend-
ent down to the humblest knight of
the brake than the Texas and Pacific
Such is the verdict Of all who come in
contact with them.
One of the best clerks in the audi
tors Office of the Texas and Pacific
railway is an old officer in the United
States navy. He was u shipmate of
Admiral Semmes in the early days of
the navy, and is also lineal descend
ant of the earl of STAFFORD, who was
executed during the reign of Charles
|. He possesses the same imperious
and naughty spirit which marked the
Inflated earl and founder of his fami-
ly. He is n triile choleric, and age has
not tanned the fire of his youth. He
was playmate of Susan b. Anthony
in her childhood, afterward served in
the revolutionary war, commanded an
army corps in the war of 1872, sailed
by dry land into the halls of the Mon
tezuma's in the war with Mexico, and
during the late unpleasantness be-
tween the sections dropped his best
bower anchor in the walls of Gratiot
street prison, st. Louis, for his fidelity
to the South. His life has been n
chequered one, and he now enjoys
green old age "frosty but kindly" He
does more and better work i'm day
than any of his companions, retires
early, and, like Cardinal Richie
lieu, writes verses for relaxation. A
stout old gentleman, one of the olden
time, but remember Sammy Wellers
injunction, commodore, "beware of
the vidders."
The name of Henry Goldwater, an
old citizen of Marshall, has been sug-
gested TO us as suitable successor to
General "Poker" Schenck at the court
of st. James. What Henry don't
know about poker playing would not
make book as big as the Capitol hotel
register. on dit, that he will shortly
issue revised edition of "New rules
for poker playing.n He will be as
sisted in the good work by several
prominent residents of Marshall, am
dteurs and professionals.
The career of young and rising
attorney of Marshall is noted by us
with prize. He may yet climb the
steep where flames proud temple
shines affair."" 1t is matter of regret,
however, that he so inflexibly clings to
"double-out." But this weakness is,
to some extent, corrected by the al
most unerring accuracy with which he
calls the last turn.
The Texas and Pacific have an eff
cient and popular employe in Colonel
NOlney Hall. He is local transfer, with
headquarters at Marshall. His friends
are legion, especially among the fair
sex, and if rumor speaks Alright, he is
also local treasurer ofseveral young la.
dies affections. Time alone can tell
"Handy Andy is the prince of
hotel runners. He can guide the way
worn immigrant to his hash-house with
ms good grace as Railroad Sam ever
steered sucker against deck of
humps.
