RAIL ROAD ITEMS.

President U. Lott, of the Arkansas
Pass, is in Corpus Christi.
Ten car of hogs, billed from Kansas
City to the City of Mexico passed
through last night.
The rush of freight to Texas points,
which was occasioned by the low
rates of the war, has commenced and
the freight officials have all they can
attend to.
The various passenger department Is
have their hands full on account of
the travel to San Antonio, the polit-
lcal Mecca. 1t is matter of doubt,
however, if the roads are making
anything out of six dollar rate.
Today roadmaster Thomas of the 1.
& G. N, puts to work an extra work
train. to inaugurate the work Of put
ting ], 500 car loads of dirt for the APP
proaches to the Colorado bridge at
Austin. To further shorten the APP
proaches now composed of trestle
work, an extra iron span is to be
added.
The gravel trains are beginning to
pass through San Antonio over the L.
& G.. n. Two more trains have been
added to the force and the road be-
tween San Antonio and Laredo Is be-
ing rapidly ballasted, which will be
completed by September LIST.
For more than a week the Southern
Pacific has been tied up with wash
outs near Tuscon, n. NJ, and commu-
nication has not yet been restored.
1t appears that a cloud burst must
have estroyed considerable stretch
OF track in that sandy country. When
the break ID repaired there will be a
great rush of accumulated freight
both ways, but several train loads of
California fruit bound eastward will
be dead loss.
A queer accident occurred Saturday
afternoon on the |. & G. n.
north bound train. while 1t
was between San Marcos and Kyle.
A passenger, name unknown, while
leaning his head out of the car Win
dow was struck by some heavy ar
ticle. and his head and shoulders
fearfully lacerated. The theory
struck by some projecting beam, but
as there is nothing of this sort along
that part of the line 1t is rejected.
1t is more likely that the acciden
was due to the action of some parties
who have been throwing stones at
the train at that point for some time.
The wounded passenger was taken
to Kyle, where the train stopped to
to have his wounds dressed after
which he proceeded on his journey
If the guilty miscreants can be caught
they will be severely dealt with.

RENOMIN ATED.
Senator II. III. Burney Will Succeed
Himself

Senator II. III. Burney Will Succeed
Himself
Saturdays Senatorial convention of
this, the 18th district finished up its
business in the afternoon quite as
tremendously as it had begun. The
result was early foreseen. Senator
Burney was renominated. and by
reclamation, to succeed himself as
state senator from this district. While
this does not suit our city admiristra-
ton, it seems to suit Eel Paso, who,
although in favor of Dean, of that
city, found that neither Dean nor Bur-
ney would have the requisite strength
to secure the nomination if divided,
threw it's influence for Burney and
carried the day. 1t was the evident
intention in the event that neither
Dean nor Burney could secure the
twO-thirds needed, to put up Oscar
Bergstrom or Alderman Rogers as a
dark horse and this the Dean men
learned in time. The opposition of
Bexar county to Burney grows out of
his action in holding back our amend
ed charter last year until the protest
from the minority was filed

be had now for very small sum of

THE CLIQUE FOILED.
Convention - A Good Days
Work-Squelching Os-

Work-Squelching Os-
cars Eioquence.
And sweet little picnic the sena-
torial convention proved to be. BeXar
politicians attempted to create a dead
lock and elect black horse, but are
left in the cold by Deans seconding
the nomination of his own opponents!
And what an opinion the Dean men
have of Bexar county democracy!
The friends and partisans of the de-
feated candidate gathered in groups on
the sidewalk in frontof the Mahncke,
and repeated the scenes and situa-
tons of the days fight. They didn't
feel very blue, as what they consid-
cred the complete overthrow of the
Bexar county clique appeared to fully
repay them for the defeat of their
candidate.
"We consider the work of the Bexar
county democracy as a dirty piece of
dlscourtesy," said an Ell Paso dele
gate to the reporter last night.
"When we sent man down here to
canvass the county the Dean men re-
ceived every kind of encouragement,
and this is the way they have treated
u.s."
"Your uninstructed delegates want
ed to create a deadlock and then
run in local dark horse. Well, we
let them get just where we wanted
them and then threw them over
board. That's what we did with
your ring" said another.
1--WE consider this the greatest
days work we ever did," said third
Dean man, land we are proud of it.
Why, we overthrow the ring and run
the convention"
Said another FL Paso delegate who
had taken great interest in the
fight: 1--WE only lacked two votes of
CARRYING the day, independent of the
Bexar vote, but your delegation was
placed under the unit rule and sent
into the convention uninstructed,
where they perpetrated their dirty
little trick"
"We will be on the look out for
these fellows, and it will te mighty
little aid that the Bexar county ring
is going to get from the Ell Paso dele
CATION" said another.
In a group of jolly politicians was
Judge Adams, of Presidio county
who was trying to explain his Com
manche yells during denominations.
Said he, "The San Antonio delegates
had such a look of triumph on
their faces when Burney was nomina-
ted that gave half suppressed yell,
but when Dean sprung to his feet
and seconded that nomination, they
looked dismayed, dazzled, baffied
and amazed and we yelled over to
them triumphantIy, "Why don't you
grin now? Why don't you grin now?"
"I'll tell you good one on Berg
strom,n continued this enthusiastic
Deanite; oscar was just aching the
worst kind TO get a chance to make a
speech, but 1 moved that we adjourn,
and we actually adjourned the con-
vention on him.
Good, good" added another in
the group. "Let's have something
on that. Come on, gentlemen, come
on. This is on Oscar! This Is on o.
carl" And they went, inwardly
chucking over the black eye that they
claim to have given the Bexar county
ring.

George, dear,

The maiden said
The enormous price
They raise. on ice,
Will drive me mad.
Your means are small,
Business-dull,
1t may break you up;
AS l cannot deem
To give up ice cream,
Even if the price is way up.
Pray, don't fret,
Dear, don't forget,
The gallant youth replied;
That to check the craze
OF love, when ablaZe,
Ice cream is applied.
But after they tie the knot,
Love is no more so hot,
Only asweet dream;
When they see they are fooled,
Their brain gets cooled,
And don't mind ice cream.
