Rates for Ex-soIdiers,

1t is altogether probable that there
will be great fight over the reduced
rates to be given to eX-soldiers to go to
Columbus, Ohio, to attend the encamp-
ment. 1t is already beginning to crop
out. The st. Paul q Kansas City has
made a rate of one cent per mile for the
members of the G. A. r. of Minneapolis

The Cost of Hauling Cattle.

There has been a good deal of anxiety
on the part of the live stock public as to
what premium the lines operating north
from st. Paul would charge for hauling
palace and stock cars. At meeting
held yesterday it was agreed to charge
rs per cent above the rates for ordinary
cars in the following manner: Using
common thirty-foot cars as basis, cars
OF extra length will be charged proper
tionately more. A. stable car measur-
ing thirty-SiX feet inside will hold the
same number of cattle that can be loaded
in common thirty-foot car, the rate
being 20 per cent more, as stated above.

SLOW FREIGHT.
Ju.t Cause of Complaint by Aus
TIN Wholesale Dealers.
RailroadFreight and Time Tables
Sorely Out of Joint-Let
the Board of Trade
Act.

In the good old days of OK teams,
freight from this point to Lockhart usu-
ally occupied two days, and never over
three unless during extraordinary wet
weather.
Things have changed. There are rail-
roads now and Austin and Lockhart are
connected by one.
But, notwithstanding, freights are slow;
indeed it seems that it takes longer for
the Austin wholesale men to get freight to
Lockhart than it did in the days of OK
teams.
AS au evidence of this, the following
case is cited, and it is by no means the
only one.
On last Saturday a well known whole
sale grocer shipped lot of freight over
the International and its connection. to a
customer in Lockhart. This freight
should have reached Its point of destina
ton at least by Monday morn
ing. By all means it should
have arrived there by Tuesday morning
But it didn't. Neither did it get there by
Wednesday morning, nor again Thursday
morning, and up to noon of that day il
had failed to put in an appearance.
vi COur5S tuo WuOieSdlo luerCllbuJ anu
his customer correspondent, the latter
wanting to know the reason of the delay
ard both were sorely put out.
The goods had been put on the train
leaving here Saturday and the train with
its asthmatic engine wheezed itself out OF
the yards and when last seen was lazily
creeping up the grade south of Austin.
From this up to Thursday noon every
thing connected with the freight was a;
blank as Siberian mountain gorge.
The Lockhart merchant in one of hi:
letters stated that freight from Sar
Antonio generally reached there the
day after its shipment.
This of course adds to the cause for the
complaints made by the Austin wholesale
merchant.
1t is matter that the Austin board Of
trade should take hold OF and thoroughly
investigate and ventilate.
And,while the board of trade is about it
an alleged discrimination said to exist now
between this point and Manor in the ship
ment of cotton should be looked into.
Let the board of trade take prompt and
vigorous action and have the evils com.
planned of remedied.

generally too great to give assurance of
their operation after long interval. The
Diebold company have introduced for this
purpose device, the simplicity and eff
ficient operation of which is wonderful
and demonstrates it to be the most per-
feet protection ever offered in this con-
nection.
The advantage of the system is stated
as follows:
First-It locks the door along its entire
front edge, the vertical bar being fastened
to the lamb, and made to shift and close
over its full length, instead of merely
locking at certain points.
Second-It locks all doors in range in.
dependently or together. If together
single door may yet be
opened separately, which is an invaluable
| convenience in the transfereDoe and hand
ling of prisoners.
Third-It locks and unlocks from a
place of outside security, easily accessible
by the guard without contact with the
prisoners.
Fourth-It is so constructed and located
it cannot get out of order or be tempered
with, and the relation of parts to each
other is such that the chance of lock
out" cannot be accepted without lmme-
diate betrayal, while the movement OF
shutting or opening is accomplished with
the least possible resistance or friction.
An ins pection of these locks and OF the
Jail cells will convince anyone of the
absolute impossibility of a prisoner es-
Gaping.
Mr.. George Assmarn, of this city, and
well known lock expert, personally put
these LOCKS in position, and he pro-
nounces the whole appliance equal
to any burglar proof safe in
the city. Mr.. Assman, indeed,
supervised the whole work and gave his
personal attention to the plumbing and
steam heating, both systems of which are
first class He made the sewerage to the
building perfect. The whole work was
supervised by Mr.. l.. T. Noyes, of Hous-
ton, the state agent for the D ebold com
pany, and most excellent gentleman and
honorable business man. He has recently
built jails in Brewster, Rains, San Jacinto,
Wharton, Williamson, Jackson, Hardin
and Travis counties.
Visitors will be permitted to visit and
inspect the Jail to-day.

THE JAIL.
Important improvements in the
County's Bast1le.

SSuhbJ % SNotAAN'
The STATESMAN yesterday contained
brief mention of the jail improvements,
but as it is a matter of public interest
and one in which taxpayers are involved,
more extended notice is deemed advis-
able.
The improvement at the beginning ne
oesstated the entire removal of all the old
interior iron work and a general over
hauling of the entire building.
This was difficult and wearisome job,
but it has been accomplished and instsad
of the old clumsily arranged soft iron cells
there are now we'll arranged, neat, well
ventilated chrome steel one with all mod
ern improvements known to prison con-
struction.
The work has been done by the Diebold
Safe and Lock company of Canton, Ohio,
and the steel used is the product of the
celebrated Chrome Steel Works, Brook YIN
NY.
A Jail that will securely retain it's in
mates for indefinite lengths of time; that
will remain uninjured-proof against all
cutting tools; that will provide for the
PROPER sanitive conditions, and for the
personal safety of the jailer, consistent
with the above-this is the want which is
supplied by the introduction of Chrome
Steel cells, by the Diebold company. Not
only are these desirable objects accom-
plished in the manner claimed, but they
also serve as a standing menace to Grim
nails, because they know that they mean
business. These gentry generally know
in advance what their prospect of escape
is when caught and Gagged, and those local
tiles having cheap, himsy jails are their
preferred fields of operation. The day OF
escape from theTravis county jail are
over.
There are ten new cells in the jail, each
set of five opening out on broad, well
lighted, we'll ventilated corridor
In each of the corridors is large bath
tub, iron wash basins and other appli-
ances. thoroughly reliable system of
plumbing has been introduced, and from
sanitary point of view and convenience
it appears to be absolutely perfect.
Among the most essential provisions in
the arrangement of Jail, next indeed to
the material of which it is built, are those
which operate to secure and lock the
doors. This cannot be too strongly in
sisted upon, considering the serious dam
age which faulty OF weak locking ap-
paratus would cause in the construction
itself, as q proper use of a good boiling
device will on the other hand greatly re-
duce the danger of any ordinary defect.
There have been a number of patented
appliances devised for the purpose of
locking jails, but their complicatio are

DRIVE WHIST.
An Entertainment in West Austin
Opening the Society Season.

opening Ju0 OOClSUy o0dSOu.
The heated term, or, perhaps more
properly speaking, the long, hot Texa:
summer, is now in the last days of its de-
cline, and, with the approach of cooler
weather, entertainments for the season OF
1889 are occupying the attention of
society circles. What may be called the
opening gun of the cam aIgn was fired
last night, the event being a gathering at
the residence of Col. L. W. Folts on Fan
min street, and if the result in the
succeeding entertainments may be judged
by the pleasure and success of last night,
the coming season in Austin will be one
of unusual brilliancy and enjoyment
The feature of the entertainment was q
contest at "Drive Whist" a diversion that
only those who have partaken in can
adequately appreciate.
The struggle for supremacy land the
prizes) was interesting and exciting, from
post to finish, and when the result was de.
clared, the woe-begone faces of those who
'all but" won were only equalled by
the disappointment of the the leather
medal cham pions who, having won that
honor, found no "booby" prize to reward
their valorious deeds.
The entertainment WAS rendered to
Miss Harwood, charming belle OF
Gonzales, who is visiting Miss Tullie
Folts, and was the occasion of a most de-
lightful evening to the many friends she
has made during her stay.
