epge he had to toll early and late, but
he did it and prepared himself for the
practice of law. He was admitted to the
bar when but twenty-one years of age.
Eight years ago he came to Minneapo-
lis alone and unknown. He knew not
a soul in the Flour City, but, nothing
daunted, proceeded to practice his pro-
fession, and has succeeded in building
up good practice. He has large gen.
eral practice, including extensive ex-
perience in the probate court. Many of
the largest farmers in Hennepin county
are among his clients. For six years he
has been attorney for one of the largest
building and loan associations in Min
neapolis, and has handled the legal
business of some of the city's most solid
business institutions. MI Corrigan is,
and deservedly so, one of the most pop
ular lawyers in Minneapolis. His
friends among the members of the bar
are numbered by the total of his ac-
quaintances, in itself criterion of his
merits. In every way Mr.. Corrigan is a
Gberal-minded, broad-guage American
citizen. He is married and has two

Brief Notes of Recent Visit to Bedford,
smithfeld, and Vicinity.

Brief Notes Of a Recent Visit to Bedford,
smithfeld, and Vicinity.
To the Gazette.
This country is very fertile, and is
highly cultivated by industrious people.
There are but few drones or oilers. Their
hospitality is reminder of that in her
palmy days of old Virginia, SO renowned
n history.
Two and half miles south of Bedford
is Arwine school house, a neat and COM
modious ana we'll ventilated building,
used for both church and school. Here
is most useful and hospitable
Hoosier settlement, all the way
fIom Harrison's own state of
Indiana. They are in full sym
pathy with Texas, and like our natives,
are out of politics. Unlike some IN the
North, these Hoosiers know that the war
is over and clean gone forever, and that
peace, more glorious than grim visaged
war, now reigns dispensing unnumbered
| blessings. Mr.. Sanders, sort OF pa
trlarch and an ex-Union soldier, said
| that he and the Confederate soldiers had
| a sincere respect for each other. This IS
| the way of brave men on both sides.
Times in the towns as well as In the
country are dull, owing to the drouth.
Much apprehension is felt as to the fall
ure of crops. Corn is mostly dead
failure. Cotton has stood it well, being
a peculiarly Southern plant; but it, too,
shows signs of giving up the ghost, or at
| least its vitality. There are stores In
Bedford and blacksmith shop, good
drug store kept by a man who is pillar
| in the social edifce, q Mr.. Moore; q
large school building, called college,
and two churches, one Baptist and the
other Christian, though they are becom-
ing friendly as all believers ought to be.
| The citizens of the village and just
around appeared to be nearly all related.
Throughout this region the Texans, as
| everywhere, are noted for church going
and are largely, perhaps mostly, profess
sors of religion. Many are thinking and
| reading the holy book, pinning their
faith to no man s sleeve.
Mr.. w. D. Trimble, nearly equidis-
tant between Bedford and Smithfeld
| about five miles apart, has q cosy and
elegant home, with yard and extensive
shady grounds in front. Watermelons
were abundant here and at many places
Fort Worth is a ready market for suct
products not used at home.
Smitnfield is much as to size as Bed
ford, though the prospect is more ex-
tended even Fort Worth from some points
being in full view though twelve mile:
distant Here Is large and symmetri'
cal school building, used also for church
purposes; and a neat Christian churct
painted white. The people are noted fo
excellent order in meetings and for large
attendance on preaching. Rev. Mr.
York had just moved to Smithteld or
the day of our arrival. 1t was goot
change and widens his fielo of use

A GIGANTIC PROJECT.
The Building OF a Standard Gauge ROAD
from Matamoras Across the Conti-
nent to the Pacific.

Special TO the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, July 3l.-A
railroad scheme of tremendous scope and
proportions was developed here to-day.
The matter has been quietly worked
on for the past year and the pro-
iectors to-day announced the success of
the preliminares of their undertaking.
It is the building of line of standard
gauge railroad from Matamoras across
the continent to the Pacific at San Bias.
The name of the new road Is the Mata-
moras, Matehoula and Pacific. The
contract for building the entire line was
let to-day to w. s. Robertson, who has
been entrusted with similar work for
some of the biggest roads IN the west.
The scheme is backed a. this
end of the line By the Brazos syndicate,
which is now engaged in procuring
deep water at the mouth of the Brazos
river; and on the other side of the Rio
Grande by the Mexican government in
the shape of valuable concessions, and
the money of some of the wealthest and
best known men of Mexico. The actual
work of construction will begin
August 10 at Mstamoras, and
it will be pushed vigorously to
the Pacific. The grading and engineer
ing of the read are represented as very
light, SO that the work will be rapidly
done. The road will connect at Mata-
moras with the road now being built
from Brownsville on the Texas side OPP
posite Matamoras to Corpus Christi, and
Is known as the Corpus Christi and South
American railroad. AT the latter city
the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass and
the Texas Mexican will be encountered
which will carry the cars OF the Mats-
moras ,MatehouIa and Pacific to the pop
ulous railroad centers of the country.
At the western terminus of the
| projected line is the harbor of
San Bias, pronounced one of the
finest on the Pacific coast. Mr..
W. d. Britain, formerly assistant
| manager of the Transcontinental asso-
citation of st. Louis, has been appointed
general manager of the new road and
will leave at once for his new field. Mr. :.
Britain recently travelled over the pro-
| posed line of road and Ia enthusiastic
over the prospects of early success.

CENTRAL AMERICAN TROUBLES.

Cause of the Failure of the Union Plan.
CAUSE OF THE PRESENT TROUBLE.

CAUSE OF THE PRESENT TROUBLE.
New YORK, July 30.-Dr. g.. W.
Book, a physician who has practiced IN
Guatemala for the last two years, ar
rived to-day on the steamship Aguan
from Central America. He had much
to say in regard to the causes OF the
present trouble among the Central Amer
loan states. The difficulty began, he
said, with the convention which ap-
proved the plan of union, but the secret
of the whole trouble is, l believe, the
the monarohial spirit of the rulers or
the states. Every one in power uses his
authority to make all the money he
could, A man without property goes
into office in Guatemala on $500 month,
and IN three or four years is million
aire. The families who run Guatemala
for their private benefit are the Apart
sails, the Acquires and the Finooahs,
who are all capitalists, and are all rela-
lions of several of the present ministers.
Another reason may be, Nicaragua
thinks she has good thing IN the canal,
and dislikes to sacrifice any part of 1t to
others, as would be necessary in case OF
union.
Hon. Williamson of Honduras was also
q passenger on the Aguan. He regards
| the Nicaragua canal as the cause of the
failure of the union plan. He expects,
however, an agreement between the
| states and cessation of all hostilities.
RECRUITS FOR GUATEMALA.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 30.-Capt.
! PheIan said this afternoon that he was
the man who had made an offer to fur
nIsh 5000 men to go Guatemala, but that
| he received no reply. De said he had
| no doubt of his ability to recruit that
number of men. He knew personally
he said, almost that number who would
| join his force simply for the adventure.
| He does not think Guatemala will accept
his offer, but if it should he will be
ready, he says, to carry out his part OF
| the contract.

ST. PAUL, MIMI, July 3l.-Tele-
graphic advices from special agents sent
out from the wheat growing sections in
this state and the two Dakota's confirm
the discouraging crop prospects, owing
to the lack of rains in many places
where the outlook for q large yield has
been very favorable, has fallen % per
cent. in three days. In numerous
points in North Dakota. especially along
the Northern Pacific west from Fargo I,
the crop is seriously injured, and in
many districts the farmers will hardly be
able to regain their seed. The average
crop at many points cannot possibly ex-
coed eight to twelve bushels per acre /;
on the other hand, in some other districts
which have not been affected by the hot
winds the crops are reported TO be the
best ever known.

HANDLEY, TEX, July %, 1890,
To the Editor of the Gazette.
Handley Is a pleasant village amid fine
picturesque scenery on the Texas and
Pacific, seven miles from Fort Worth,
having a store, blacksmith shop,
schoolhouse, q neat and commodious
church building, an express and tele-
graph office aud a number of the noblsst
people on this terraqueous ball. There
are several cosy and pleasant residences
with ample grounds around, we'll shaded
by tall and ancient trees, With spreading
and leafy boughs. The postoffice, depot
and telegraph are in charge of an iDtelli-
gent and energetic lady, an encouraging
instance of what ladies can do, and in
keeping with the widening field of en-
ployment for women of business qualif-
cations.
The prairie on the north side of the
railroad has just taken fire from sparks
from the locomotive. Railroad hands
are at work to prevent its spreading.
This writer recently visited Bedford
and its vicinity, and Smithfield, and
other portions of this county. He can
say of q truth that under the ravages OF
the drouth, defying description, the peo-
pie evinoe high and indomitable spirit,
and generous hospitality which knows
no abatement. It was cheering to see
Fort Worth in full view from the front
door of Mr.. Clsrk's residence at Smith
field, though twelve miles distant.
The people of this whole section of
country are great church-goers, crowd
ing the places of preaching and divine
worship. Pity that any arrant politician
should have such mercenary soul as to
decry true American citizens because
they live in the South. IoTA.
