THEEFIxST FRIETS.
= Reduction OF Freight Rates
Over the Missouri Pacific.

Through Mr. c. l.. Gates, agent Of the
Missouri Pacific, yesterday We learned
that the company have decided to re-
duce the rates of freight from all north
eTn points to Waco, about ten per cent.
Henceforth all shippers over the road
will get the benefit OF that
reduction which Will be no
incuusiderable item to large shippers.
The rate on carloads on freight by the
hundred is now the same from northern
points to Waco as to Dallas and Fort
Worth. This Is the case for the first
time in the history Of Waco and Is only
the beginning Of the end. Good,
healthy competition among railroad lines
Is what benefits the shipper. In what
way the Central will respond to this
reduction We do not know,
but if they evince disposition
to open a T te war some lively cuttiug
and slashIug may be looked for This,
If It nccu at all, Is, however. not likely
to take place so early in the competitive
for business here, though not
to come sooner or later The
reduction of which We speak was
brought about largely through the
influence OF Mr.. Gates, who has written
to the company several times asking
the same rate here as given
Dallas and Fort Worth. Several
Of our merchants at last joined him III d
petition asking this favor for the ship
pers Of Waco. IN a few months more
we may Hook for many changes and the
among railroads, influx Of
strangers building up of the city and
many other new features Will so change
the commercial system here that III a
year more we will find ourselves almost
a new people, commercially speaking,
md old ways and times will be for
gotten III the rush and hustle Of the new
order Of things.

DISCOVERED Nv TIME.
Riveire's Drug Store and Rag
lands .Ieweiry Store Barely
Escape Burning.

About $50 o'clock yesterday evening
he cry of fire was heard on Austin
avenue, and few seconds afterward
the fire gong was tolling the alarm. The
fire companies and water works gave Il
prompt response. When the tiremen got
their apparatus around on Austin street
| they found the smoke issuing from
the building III which Riveire's
drug store and Ragland's jewelry store
Is located Smoke WAS also issuing
from the windows of Jennings X Bakers
law office on the floor above. At the
time the fire was first discovered Messrs.
j. NJ and Wallace REVERE and Mr.. J. 5.
Napier were standing outside the door
talking and preparing to go home, when
looking back Wallace saw smoke curling
along the ceiling. Stepping III he dis
covered fire under the stairs which
lead to the upper floor and ran
ont and gave III alarm. Mr. Z. NJ
Downs, who happened to be on the
corner, rushed down and closed the
doors, which were open, thus keeping
the air from tanning the flame. or the
conllagration might have been much
more disastrous. Ladders were soon
placed against the building and the up
per floor reached, while in the mean
time the aX-mcn chopped away portion
of the stairs and Il stream was got upon
the fire There was but little
blaze and consequently the densest Kind
OF smoke and for long time 1t was so
sitting that the men could not venture
through the building and lantern
would give no light i'll it. In this con
dtion the water had to be directed |
where, when it struck the hissinQ, when |
coming in contact with the fire, could be |
heard. In half an hour the smoke had |
partially cleared away, and they entered
to see that no fire renamed. The
origin Of the fire Is somewhat OF
mystery. Under the stairs was stored
dry alum, ginger and other drugs, and
that space was also used as IA receptacle
for paper, empty paper boxes, etc, but
no one had been in there and what
should have caused them to ignite is
hard question to solve. The owner of
the building and all the occupants were
Insured as follows: T.. \. Sturgis, on
$3.50; damaged to some eX-
mt; insured with J. Ii. Harrison.
