CLeBuaSg, July 81. Mr.. Crowley, gen
eral manager Of The Gulf, Colorado d Santa
Fe railroad, Is In the city to-day. The
Gulf Colorado & Santa Fe this MOI nine
sent out train with about one bundled
conyicts on the Mexican Central. Over
seventy-fve cars, loaded with rock and
gravel, are ON the sdiags here to repair
the road-bed of that road. Under the
management of the Gulf, Colorado IL Santa
Fe, all complaints will soon be stopped,
and Cleburle and Dallas will be connected
by iiist-clhss road. 1t will have the ef-
feet, too, OF largely increasing the trade oil
Dallas in this city and the section below
here.
Saturday night we had another very
heavy rain. The Buffalo, running through
the northern and western portion OF the
city, was out of It's banks further than it
has been known for years. Lumber from
the streets. West of here the rain was not
so heavy, as it seems TO have come from a
northeasterly direction, going southwest
b. b. Paddock and portion of the Fort
Worth delegation arrived this morning: or
course JAWS is their man against the held.
Much speculation is already going on as to
whether there will be more than one ballot
many believing that Wellborne will be
nominated on the first. In the senatorial
race DIR. Douglas, of Hill, will have an easy
going. The Decor was beaten before, owing
TO division in Hill between himself and
Captain Sam Upshaw. From what | can
gather two-thirus of the Johnson county
delegation will stand for him.
The Dallas train brought in the following
convention
from Dallas: Mr.. f. Cole, James Cravens,
w. L. Hall. w. s. Strange, o. P. Fee, II.
Barksdale, e. Duncan, r. Il. Cowart, G. Q.

tomorrow: Friends Of all parties to-
nsh seat y0t %eo a1rn delegates tss as
unit, also the proposition to- seat
divedly the delegations from Dallas,
and agreed to leave the question to the
committee on credentials. They selected
Colonel Heath, of Cleburne, for Temporary
chairman and Rainey, of Waxahachie,
permanent chairman.
The Cleburne band serenaded Colonel
Crawford and Mr.. Gertzenheimer, OF Waxa-
hachie, candidate for state senator. The
latter made short speech. Colonel Craw-
ford thanked the serenaders and retired.
CLEBURNE, August To-day has been
one long to be remembered. The best men
of the sixth congressional district are as
sembled to choose repro sentative IN con-
eress. At D. M Colonel Otis, chairman
Of the democratic executive committee foc

Major E. M. Heath was chosen chairman,
and Scurlock, CT Johr son, and Field, OF
Bosgue, secretaries. The committee on

delegation. The Crawford faction are rep
resented by Barksdale and Hall; Wellooln
by Tucker and Cochran. The convention

ton was passed requesting Crawford and
Jarvis to address the convention. The ex-
animation of Witnesses is now prog esslng,

There will be hard fight in the convention
when Che committed reports.
