NEW YORK, oct. I.-ConDected with
the recent rise In Western Union stock Is
the Interesting rumor that little knot OF
capitalists are buying for control OF the
property. II is currently supposed that
Jay Gould owns controlling interest,
but this il not true. Hispresent holdings
are 250 900 shares, while there are 10000

easy, therefore, for syndicate 10 take
control from Jay Gould, especially II Rus

Sage il not likely TO do so, however. He
is loyal to Gould in all things, and more

pocket 70 help Gould out when ready cash
was needed.
Certain 1t Is, however, that some big
Western Union stockholders and directors
are getting ready TO protest against the
present rolicy OF trying 70 starge out the
opposition at the expense OF Western Union
profits, aud n the kickers get any encour-
sgement there will be lively times at the
next election. Mr.. Gould, II seems, has

Marshall VS.. the Texas n Pacific.
Special to the Gazette.
JEFFERSON, TEX, Oct. 6.-The case Of
the City Of Marshall and Harrison County
VS.. the Texas & Pacific Railroad was taken
up in the United States federal court on
Tuesday morning, both parties announc-
ing ready for trial The principal points
of this case have already been reported,
but as II promises to be very important
suit, involving novel features, s brief re-
capitulation will not be amiss, Many
years ago, when Texas towns were all
hungry for railroads, the city OF Mar
shall following the example OF many of
her neighbors--offered great Inducements
for these highway connections. These
inducements were in the shape OF subsi-
dies-county and city bonds, cash, land,
etc. Marshall being on the main route of the
Texas & Pacific railroad, and convenient
ly situated for the principal state Offices
of the company, large body OF land was
purchased by the city and donated for
depot and machine shop purposes; sub
sidy was also voted to that company In
the shape of bonds of the city for large
amount. These donations were made,
though on certain conditions, aud the
plaintiff having, as she ayers, performed
her part OF the contract, invokes the
powers Of the law to compel the defend
ant to carry out the other part OF the
agreement. One Of the stlpulations OF
this contract alluded 10 Is said to be a
clause binding said railroad, in con -idere-
ton of said donations and subsidies, TO
establish It's prip cipal Offices and machine
shops at that point. 1T seems that the
contract duly entered into by said parties
| fails to state that said Offices and machine
shops shall be perpetually maintained
there. At any rate, some time ago the
Texas s Pacific road, having gone INTO
the hands Of receivers, attempted by de-
grees 10 remove their shops and offices
from Marshall TO other more convenient
locations. The city then obtained an In
| junction from Judge Lakewood OF the
- district court to prevent the further
removal OF said domicile Afterward II
was transferred 10 the federal court, and
an attempt was made before Judge
| Pardee, at the special term he
held here last spring, TO. dissolve
the injunction, buthe dismissed the case,
practically, leaving IL in statu quo. SC
the question TO be decided by this court
is, whether the Injunction shall be DIS
solved or be made perpetual. IL is sald
that If our sister city is defeated In thi'
suit and the hundreds Of railroad EN-
ployes are taken to some other point i
will be the dullest town in Texas. IL Ii
understood here that +. II. Prendergrast
attorney for the railroad, has telegraphe'

would come the trouble II there Is any.

TEXAS COTTON CROP.

vious Estimates.
Special 10 the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, Oct. 6.--There is
considerable talk in trade circles regard
ing the probable cotton output of Texas
for the present cotton year. During
August many well-informed dealers esti-
mated the crop at 100000 bales. This
estimate was extensively circulated and
accepted. Owing to the meagre top crop
making in North and East Texas, and also
to some uncertainty existing touching
the extent of damage by worms and from
recent rains, the majority Of cotton firms
are inclined TO revise their earlier figures
n'the crop. The house of Kaufman &
Runge, whose figures for years have been
generally accepted by the trade, author
ICES the Associated Press to state that
they have reduced their maximum figures
for the Texas crop from 100000 TO
| 400, 600 bales. From Washington and
two or three other counties, ravages by
worms have been reported, but II is the
general belief by the trade here that loss
and damage this season is no greater thar
reported every season. The reports al
indicate that the worm ravages are local
