THE RAILROADS.
The Memphis, oxford n Columbus Road
VIII be Built

The Memphis, oxford n Columbus Road
VIII be Built.
Maj. F. NJ. Abbott, president Of the
Memphis, Oxford * Columbus railroad is
still in the city.
Accompanied by small party Of inter
ested gentleman, President Abbott will
make a tour of investigation along the
whole Of the proposed railroad route.
The object OF this inspection is to learn
the status of the Mississippi county sub.
scriptions, about which there appears TO
be doubt at long range OF course the
doubt is not shared by Maj. Abbott, any
one in Mississippi or in this city. But
there is an indication that capital from q
distance may become enlisted, and II is
this that desires confirmation by personal
contact and investigation.
Mai. w. j. Crawford and his associates
on the subscription canyassng committee
are laboring industriously and earnestly in
the cause. A very small proportion Of the
amount has so far been raised yet such
progress has been made that the gentle
men are highly encouraged. Mai Craw-
ford is confident that with hali.dozen
active, earnest assistants he will be able TO
turn over to the company the desired doc.
uments by August l. "In this event, !"
said Maj. Abbott TO an ArrEAL reporter
yesterday, you will see dirt thrown for
the enterprise by September /, and in two
years Memphis will have the railroad in
operation"
Maj. Crawford viii leave shortly for n
two weeks trip, but during his absence he
will see 10 il that an active canvass goes
forward.

The Future Of Memphis.

To the Editor Of The Appeal!
The future Of Memphis is no longer in
doubt, and at no distant day We will be-
hold the largest, most beautiful and thriv-
ing commercial city in the United States,
one Of which every Memphian, by birth
or adoption, will Justly be proud. The
eyes Of admiring nations are steadiastly
fixed upon US, and corporations and men
with millions Of dollars are eagerly wait
ing 10 invest In us and 10 assist In building
mn the greatest trade center on the Ameri-
can continent Real estate has advanced
10 such an extent as 10 create great gold
mines all over the city, and men who
few wears ago were considered IN unfortu.
nate real estate owners, are now looked
on as the wise men Of our city, into whose
lars circumstances, business pluck and
geographical position have empticd untold
wealth. In view Of all these circun-
stances. We have great deal for which 20
be grateful, when we remembered
that only few ycan ago the city
of Memphis was financially buried and
20 the outer world seemed destined 20
become an abandoned city. All Of
these dark clouds have passed away
and the sun Of unexpected and continual
prosperity will ever shed It's brightest
lights TO gladden. the hearts Of the most
worthy, liberal.hearted and progressive
people on the globe. Whilethu surround
ed by all these blessings, We should not be

THE TEXAN CATTLEFEVER.
A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION TO BE
MADE BY STOCK MEN.
A Plan Formulated by Which 1t VIII
be Learned Whether the Dreaded
Disease is Contagious or Infectious,
or What.

CHICAGO, July l3.-The subject OF Texan
fever among cattle is one which, Tor some
time, has caused considerable trouble to
cattle growers throughout the country.
For the purpose of effecting a thorough
practical examination Of the matter, and,
il possible, to provide some remedy for the
evil, a circular letter was recently sent out
by Vice-P President Washburn, OF the Union
stock yards, TO the executive committees
OF every leading cattle association through
out the country, inviting them to send
representative to conference TO be held
at the Union Stock yards. The meeting
was held yesterday in Mr., Washburn's
office, and was attended by G. Is. Stuart,
Lafayette, Ind; H. III. Kinds, OF the Michi-
gan live stock sanitary board; W. ]. G.
Dean, Of the American Jersey Cattle club;
j. ii. Pickrell, of the American Shorthorn
Breeders association; III. McChesney, Of
the Illinois hive stock commission; DR..
NJ. Stalker, State veterinarian, OF Iowa;
DR. Hewitt, of the Minnesota State board
OF health; Prof. G. f. Morrow, Illinois
agricultural experiment commission; Col.
Charles f. Mills, secretary Illinois State
board Of agriculture; Alvin II. Sanders,
secretary Consolidated Cattle Grower s as
ISOLATION; DR.. Hughes, Chicago Veterinary
college, and others.
Mr.. Washburn explained the object for
which the meeting had been called, viz. :
For the purpose OF devsing tests TO ascer-
tain whether Texan fever was contagious
TO native cattle. On behalf OF the Stock
yards company, he offered 10 put every
facility in the way Of the committee which
they might require. Infected Texan cat
tie and healthy native stock would be at
their disposal as well as pens in the stock
yards, grass lots, etc.
committee outlined q series OF tests
which were adopted and will be made at
the Union stockyards a. soon as possible.
The tests will be most thorough and are
expected TO determine beyond a doubt
whether or not the dreaded disease is con-
tagious, and, il il is, under what condi-
tons. A committee OF five was appointed
10 have charge OF the experiments. The
appointment Of the supervisor Of the tests
was left TO the National association OF cat
tie growers, and in the event OF their de-
clining the nomination, the chairman was
authorized TO confer with the various in
terested associations throughout the coun-
try and find a suitable man 10 carry out
the proposed work. When the tests are
completed a full detailed report Of their
various stages will be drawn up and pre-
sented TO the next meeting the National
Consolidated Cattle Growers association,
which will be held in this city next No
ycmbcr. The committee will also draft the
outlines Of a bill for presentation to Con-
grces and the State Legislatures with a
view 10 prevention Of recurrence OF the
epidemic.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.


-sp',he Editor Of Tho Appeal:
Some days since there appeared in TUE
ArrEAL a sermon on evolutionary the Rev.
N. NJ. Long. In that sermon the reyer-
end gentleman took decided stand in
favor Of the Darwinian origin Of man. In
his discourse Mr.. Long read, approyingly,
the first chapter OF Genesis, and in that
chapter we are told that God created
man in his own image"
II is only necessary to quote this Ian.
guagc. his own reading, in order TO rcfute
Mr.. Longs theory OF the creation Of man
unless the reverend gentleman wishes TO
take the position that at the time OF the
creation 81 man, God himself was like a
