The ray Of hope, by ss@rkness won,

Though all the powergsof life give way,
Love holds its sssay,

The sequence of all good in store

LONDON, Sept. l3.--The statement Of
the committso appointed by the English
holders of Erie railway bonds to- fnvesti-
gate the present finan sial condition, IL
Just made public. 1t shows the balance
OF immediate Liabilities IN about %,477,-
3l6. "The calculation Of she amOnnt of
dehcit," the committee says, ais based
upon the state of affairs in July, and
Will, of course, vary from month to
month, according TO receipts from traf-
iic." The causes which led to this Aoat-
ing debt seems wise and polite in them
selves, but the piling up of IL large float
ing debt for even the best purposes
~ always more or less impru-
dent and dangerous. Tho company's
credit might have borne the strain OF
tho recent panic, hut IL was broken by
the Grant Il Ward disaster, and the
funding of the floating debt il now in
dispensable. Tho statement recon-
mends that the company should, with
out delay, raise II permanent loan of$5,-
uO,OOO on available securities. The sue
cessful placing of such loan has through
out been distinct condition of MIR.
Kings acceptance of the presidency.
The lines and property, the statement
says further, belonging to or controlled
by Erie, form an extensive, powerful
system. The point OF real Importance,
however, is one of rates. IL Is notorious
that the various companies which share
in and which should be friendly
to the pool arrangement in
regard to the traffic rates, are
constantly accusing one another of
breach of faith II is true such charges
are very largely based on fact. Good
faith is preserved among railway rivals
in England and should be possible in
America.
The Telegraph, in it's financial article
TINS morning, says some explanation Is
wanting regarding Erie's liability OF
5,150,0O for future installments to car
trusts extending to May, 1892, but any
way 1t Is difficult to conceive that the
English public will lend another { ], ,000,.

antee for the future management OF the
road than the substitution of Mr.. Kins
for Mr.. Jewett as president.

SHERMAN, Sept. l3.-ISpecial. AT
about IL o'clock last night bloody
tragedy was enacted on North Travis
rect, III front of the Horseshoe saloon,
in which Dan Thompson was shot and
killed by Capt. Jot Gunter. Capt. Gun
ter is one of the most prominent and en-
terprising men in the State. Thompson
was a salo0n-keeper, who had been in
our city for some time. When lie came to
the town Gunter was very favorably inn
pressed with him, and furnished him
with $1,000 or $4,000, with which to open
a saloon and betriended him (rhompson)
in various other ways. Trouble between
tho parties began about two months ago
when Gunter had ThompSon's salaOn at
tached aud sold out, This made ThOmp-
son very angry, aud an encounter has
been looked for by many ever since.
About a week ago Thompson opened an
other saloon. The sherman Driving
Park association, of which Gunter Is
President, held "A judgment against him
CIhompson) ior some Sl0O or 5000, and
yesterday evening execution WAS issued
and his saloon closed up again. This
made Thompson furious, and he repeat
edly threatened the life OF Gunter, and,
~ 10 Stihg ooAllt W
execute his threat. Last night about II
o'clock tho people in the
vicinity We're aroused by eight shots
fired in quick succession, and
upon going TO the spot, Thompson was
found dead. lie had received'a charge
of buckshot In the centre of his breast,
another charge had glanced the top OF
his right shoulder; he had also received
bullet in his left forearm, and one in
the left side of his back. A friend OF
! Thompson, VINO was with him at the
time, says they were in front Of the sa-
loon sitting down, when Gunter passed
with a Shotgun in his hand, and that
just as he passed he wheeled around and
| shot Thompson twice with his gun. Nc
one seems to know who fired the other
SHOTS, which evidently came from pis
tol. Gunter gave himself up TO the OH
GERS immediately. The coroner wa,
called and held an inquest last night. i
Is thought by some that more trouble
will ensue from the killing, as ThOmp
son has several friends and brother
who came up from Dallas to-day.
