Fort Worth, Tex,

The Houston and Texas Central will
soon have their road completed to
Fort Worth, making five reads then
terminating at that point. These roads
are the Houston and Texas Central,
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe, the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, the Texas
Pacific and the Fort Worth and Dem
yer, all OF which are there for the pur-
pose OF obtaining tie business from
the panhandle of Texas, which comes
to Fort Worth over the Fort Worth
and Denver City railway. One Of the
branches that the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe is rvtying with intent
to build is from its main line along
the southern border Ct Kansas into
the panhandle of Texas, there to con-
meet with the Fort Worth and Denver
City road, and in this way reaching
Galveston, New Orleans and oil points
in Texas and Louisiana.

Huntinsdon's Big scheme .

A few days since, in answer to an
inquiry as TO the extent OF the diver
sion of business from the old lines,
word was telegrsphed the Pool Com
mission that the Chesapeake and
Ohio was NOS ouly taking ION fifty to
sixty cars of grain day, but was TAX
ing beer, wool, provisions aud, in
fact, everything that was worth TAX
ing at from 4 to 6 cents below the
trunk-line schedule, 80 it will be seen
the situation is becoming alarming
for the so-called short lines. Shipper,
however, are very we'll satisfied with
the way things are running. The
opening OF q new trade current be-
tween the grain aud provision produC-
ing regions in the West, and the East
and Europe by the Chesapeake and
Ohio railway, and the forcing OF COM
merce from the old-esta. lished
thoroughfares to il was bold
undertaking ON the part Of
Huntington, but the route is o1ly
opened, not established, and it
remains to be seen what the outcome
will be. For direct export the new
line is q good as any, and for North
eastern Atlantic coast and interior
points it will answer every purpose
where quick transit ia not required.
But il is not what the Newport News
route is or may be- made that interests
the pubic just now, but whether Mr..
Huntington is str ong enough to sue
cessiully resist the power and infiu-
ence Of The trunk lines which will be
employed against his venture.

CUTTING DOWN THE COST.
TEN PER CENT ARRANGEMENT
FOR COLLECTING TAXES
Due the Old City OF Memphis-The
Taxing District the Bene-
ilCiary.

The ofIicials Of the Taxing District
are about to take steps to reduce the
cost of collecting taxes due the old
city, OF which large amount remains
uncollected. BY the recent statement
of the debt of Memphis, tho Taxing
District having become responsible
by the issuance of compromise bonds,
the latter becomes the sole benefi ciary
of any taxes now collected. NGtur-
ally II ia the desire Of the Police and
Fire Commissioners that the cost of
collection shall be- as small rs possible.
The receiver, like TenDyson's
Brook" would, under the law,
run on forever, or antil all
the taxes are paid, which would
amount TO the same thing, and the ex-
pense5 incidental to his Office would
be, ii continued on the present basis,
something over $4,000, whether q dol
lar is collected or not. Five years ago,
when the Get was first passed, and
Mai. Minor Meriwether was appoint
ed, H. i. Dix was employed at a sala-
ry of 5000 TO assist him. Tt.s salary
of the receiver was $1,000 year, and
he was allowed large sums in addition
as fees. AT the expiratioSo a year
the salary OF Mr.. Dix was re-
dnced ito $1,000 and TAYLOR 4
CARROLL were.elhployed at $1,000. This
arrangement. existed for n year when
the sslaTJsoeMr. Dix van cut down to
$500 a year; tho other Arm being re-
tanned. Inst Year.. besides. $1,000 to,
them and q like sum to. the Receiver,
Messts. j. ", Hampton, Lee Thorn
ton and Ii. +. Dix were allowed q
commission on taxes collected through
bills filed by them. In fact mott Of
the litigation was conducted by tdem.
And In addition to their expenses two
clerks have been and arc being raid
$1,000 each. Several conferences have
been held between Receiver Lamb
aud the Commissioners, and the Com
missioner, fully alive to the situation,
is Understood TO be perfectly wiling
10 adopt plan which will lessen the
expense OF collection to the Taxing
District, A proposition has been
made to him TO relinquish his title Of
receiver and become the agent OF the
Taxing District for the collect on Of
old city tax0s, receiving commission
of 10 per cent. and paying all expenses
out OF that amount. This he has
ag-eed to do, and II Chancellor Nc
Dowell does not interfere, as he is not
likely TO do, the city, who
Is the sole beneficiary, being
Satisfied, he will take Metcalt 4
Walker into partnership with him,
they assuming half the responsibility
and receiving half the commission.
The whole matter will, Of course, have
to be acted upon by Chancellor Nc
Dowell. Receivers Meriwether tnd
Lamb have collected 90 far about ST.
650,000, and there is about $4,000
still due, of which probably 100000
is collectable. AL claims against tax
payers delinquent TO the oll city will
have lapsed by March 81, ualees bills
are filed against them by that time.
