i
Huffman. and Watkins (Democmts), and
Roane and Bristow (Republicans), APP
pointed to investigate the alleged abuse
Of free railroad passes by Mr.. Parr,
member of the House, met yesterday
afternoon at ) o'clock and remained in
session two hours.
This is the case arising from the use OF
two railroad passes Of the Richmond and
Danviie railroad belonging to members
Of the House which were borrowed by
Mr.. Parr and lent by him 70 private indi-
yiduols to 90 from Danyile to Washing
ton and return.
Mr.. PaBR.
Mr.. Parr was the first witness sworn
and examined. He SAID: 81 wanted
TO go TO Washington and take two
friends with me. We frequently apply to

procure our passes Tor us, but knowing
that he would have to send to Washing

friends ] admit that it was a little IN
discreet. We three went to Washington.
They registered in their own names
j. A. Gilbert and John Howell.
The conductor did not ask them
their names that / know of.
After staying in Washington we
took the train for Danville again, using
the same tickets. The next morning
after we got there we took breakfast, and
about 9 o'clock one Of the gentlemen
came TO me end said that the conductor
claimed that the names on the tickets
did not correspond with the names on
the hotel register and they seemed to be
travelling on legislators passes without
being members Of the Legislature. Af
ter that, while was writing a letter, one
of them came to me again and spoke as
II the conductor had asked them for the
tickets and they had given them to him.
We stayed in the city until about 1890
O'Clock, when left for Richmond and
my friends went home.
"The statement that the gentlemen
with me were mountain hoosiers is
false. They were as well dressed and
looked as nice as any gentleman here.
Before left the National Hotel in Dan

forwards pay their fares to the conduc-

Proposed New Harbor.

1hcy Opitt On Cnc Location Oh the
Proposed New Harbor.
DENVER, Colo, Aug. 29.-The Deep
Water convention was called to order
by Ex-Gov. Evans.
Il Judge Brady of Texas, presented a
report from the committee on perma-
nent organization as follows:
The permanent chairman Hon. P. G.
/ Noel OF Kansas; vice-presidents Gov.
Adams of Colorado; John Hancock of
Texas; ID. 81. Armstrong of Missouri;
J. l.. Hill of Kansas; A. d. Yocum of
Nebraska; w. A. Culp of Iowa; T. f.
Powell of Arkansas; ]. Reynolds of
New Mexico; f. D. Kelly of Wyoming;
Lewis WOlfley of Arizona; Secretary
T. A. Dana. The report was somewhat
unexpected as on yesterday various
caucuses had agreed to support Gov.
Ihayer of Nebraska, for permanent
chairman and announcement of NOel'S
name for few minutes threw the con-
vention into confusion. EX-Lieut.
Gov. Gibbs of Texas was soon on
his feet and gave as a
substitute for the report of the commit
tee that the convention provide its own
chairman, and then nominated Gov.
Thayer to that position. This brought
the battle between Galveston and Ar
kansas Pass squarely to- the front, and
for over two hours the substitute was
most warmly debated between the
friends of these two cities, it being un-
derstoOd that Gov. Thayer was favoring
Arkansas Pass. Gibbs substitute was
finally carried and the roll-call re-
suited:
Two hundred and seventeen votes for
Thayer and 1913 for Noel.
The announcement of the vote created
pandemonium, which lasted several
minutes. The convention then took a
recess until o'clock. This afternoon
on reassembling, Gov. Thayer took the
chair, and was presented with hand
some silver-mounted gavel by Senator
Houston, of Texas, on behalf of the San
Antonio & Arkansas Pass railway.
After brief address by Gov. 'rhayer
the convention made the election of the
remainder of the officers reported by
the committee unanimous. The con-
ventiOn then appointed committee on
resolutions and adjourned till 10 o'clock

WINNIPEG, Man., Aug. 29.-Col.
Clough, OH behalf of the st. Paul, Min
neapolis & Manitoba railway, presented
railway proposals to the local govern
ment this afternoon. The document was
printed and circulated among the mem
bers of the legislature tonight. The
proposal is merely modification of the
Northern Pacific agreement. 1t offers
to rent the Red River Valley line from
e.government for term of years,
maintain the road in perfect order. equip
1t and pay the government 5 per cent
per annum on the cost of the road. AS
security for the performance of this
offer, the company offers to hand over
to the government $4,000 in bonds, to
be forfeited absolutely to the government
ii the company fails to operate the road
as agreed instead of building the Nor
ris branch, the company offers to extend
its Baltimore branch to the boundary,
and from there to Brandon, also to eX-
tend its CandO branch to the boundary,
and thence through the province to
Virden. The aid required on these
branches is the same as in the Northern
Pacific agreement, and S6.4O0 mile.
All roads, inclu ding the Northern Pa
citic, that desire running powers over
any or all of the liIRs, can have the same
by paying an equal share of the interest
and maintenance of the road. The
proposal guarantees rates, on the
same basis as exists on their
lines in Minnesota and Dakota.
The proposal is to build the Portage
link for S440,0 900, upon which the gov
ernment guarantees the Northern Pa
cifc Sc, 400 mile. Members of the gov
nernment do not appear to take much
stock in the proposal, believing it to be
simply bluff inspired by Van Horne.
They think it the offer were genuine it
would have been made before the last
moment, and before the announcement
in the house of Premeier Greenway that
the government would stand or fall by
the Northern Pacific agreement. There
seems no doubt that the Northern Pa
cifc contract will go through. The gov
ernWent is preparing to announce some
offer to take the wind out of the st.
Paul, Minneapolis q Manitoba's sails.

MARITAL MISERIES,

this city three years ago. and, accord

deserted him in September, last
year, and Since then has been TOO IA
