IMPORTANT TO TRAVELLERS.
Opening of the New Pennsylvania
Line From Chicago to Cincin-

Trains of the Panhandle route leave
Chicago for Cincinnati as heretofore
from the union passenger station, Canal
between Madison and Adams streets,
but from Aug. 10 their course between
these two important commercial centers
has been over road that is under the
exclusive management and control of
the Pennsylvania lines its entire length
The route formerly was via the Pan
Handle route to Richmond, thence over
the Cincinnati, Hamilton d Dayton rail-
road to Cincinnati. The Chicago. st.
route-purchased that portion OF the c..
H. u ID. r. r. between Richmond
and Hamilton, built new line
from Hamilton to Cincinnati,
thereby securing in connection
with its old established thorough
fare from Chicago to Richmond a
through line from Chicago to Cincin-
natl. which is Just 500 miles long, six
miles shorter than any other through
line in operation. Morning and even
ing express trains are run between these
cities, solid via the new route; the day
trains have comfortable coaches and the
night trains coaches and Pullman sleep
ing cars. These trains arrive at Gin
ClllIldIl III tic L SHISylNtlild STATION,
Pearl and Butler streets, where connec-
ton is made with outbound trains for
all points in the South and Southeast.
A railroad between commercial centers
operated entirely under one manage
ment presents advantages over
through line formed of two or more in
dependent roads. This new route will.
therefore. be remembered by those who
have occasion to go from Chicago to Gin
cinnati, or via Cincinnati to the South.
The line is we'll constructed and will be
kept in the best condition. Its equip
ment is of high standard, and the meth
DDS governing its operation are those
which have placed the Pennsylvuia sys-
tenn of railways first and foremost
among the railways of the United States.

BURNET, November 21.-Capt. d. G.
SherIard, of the Granite Rifles, states that
after disbanding and paying all debts in
foil, the company had a balance in the
treasury of $15.75. This sum has been
forwarded as contribution to the Con-
federate Veterans home at Austin, as a
small addition to the fund of that institu-
tion, and an expression of respect and
good will from the young soldiery to
the old.
Mr.. Perry Garrett, a well-known and
popular business man of this place, was
married to-day to Miss Josie Magill, one
of Burnet's most charming young ladies,

Special Telegram to the Statesman,
DALLAS, November 22.-The testimony
regarding the death of Z. j. Roddis is
gradually being drawn out. Henry L.
johnson, employed at Williams drug
store, testified: On the goth inst, about
O'Clock p. M, sold deceased four grains
of morphine and two of quinine in solu-
tion. He said he wanted it for indi-
gestion. He seemed to be rational. After
that, and about 1890, l sold him four
grains of morphine in powders and two of
quihine. He stated at this time that he
had broken the bottle containing the
solution he had purchased before. Fur
ther evidence is to the effect that on the
night OF. his death he entered Main street
saloon and csiled for glass of beer.
The beverage was drawn, but before he
drank it he emptied a powder into the
glass, saying it was quinine, and remarked
afteghe drank it that it was very bitter.
Ihe impression is gaining ground that
R dds committed suicide.
Hon. Bryan L. Barry, of Corsicana, a
gentleman who belongs to the inner circle
of Mr.. Mills political friends. said to-day:
"All this talk of Colonel Mills opposing
Senator Coke for the United States senate
is the merest nonsense. Colonel
Mills has not now nor ever
has had any such intention.
He has many warm friends who would pre-
fer him for the senate to any man in Texas,
but it has never entered their minds to
run him, Colonel Mills and Sentor Coke
are the best of friends, and know what
am speaking about when 1 say that no
man in Texas is warmer advocate of
Senator Coke's reelection than Colonel
Mills"

the first shot, but scrambled up as Moore
cohtinled to shoot. Conductor Browning
seeing the form of a man on the floor,
asked Moore who did the killing, to which
Moore replied:
81 did. There was party of three who
proposed to do me up at certain point
here, and give me no show, and shot that
man while he was reading letter 1 wrote
10 my wife and mailed in Shreveport yes

Moores then turned the pistol to his own
head and fred three times. One of the
balls entered above his eye and passed
directly backward through his head.
These three shots emptied his pistol, and,
dipping with blood, he proceeded to re-
load, and had placed three cartridges in
the pistol before it was snatched from
him. He was composed enough to give

that they be notified of the affair.

Swi zerl and. He was Rratifed to know
that trade had imprO we'd, and said that

provement in agriculture He emphasized
the pacific character of Germany's for

his visits abroad, which had been UNDER
taken with view to effecting an under-
