On to Throckmo orion.

Our business men are quietly working
up SIS, 600 bonus and the right-of-
to offer to the projectors OF the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railroad from Henri
eta via Albany and Abilene to San An
cello, Texas. They are working IN a sys-
tematic, business manner, and intend to
secure the road without any "fuss and
feather. -
They will send some of our representa-
tive men to Abilene on the goth of this
month prepared to offer substantial i'll
ducements TO be paid when the railroad
company build the road to Albany
Albany News.
The Times has suggested that Throck-
morton have q representative at the Abb
lene meeting on the goth instant.
When there are plums in sight and
others are picking them we can't sit still
and expect to get our share.
Topographically and geographically
Throckmortou has advantages over Al
bany in this matter. but it will not DO 10
depend on that alone. Money is a power
in shaping the course of railroads, as in
most other things, and money must be
met with money. How much are you
interested in baving a railroad come to
ThrockmortOn, and what are you going
to do about il? We suggest that you get
together and do something.

FROST WINS.
The Former superintendent of the Denver
Gets a Verdict for 81, 15L06.


The Former Superintendent of the Denver
Gets n Verdict for S4,151.o6.
The very interesting suit of c. L.
Frost, ct one time superintendent of the
Fort Worth and Denver road, against
that corporation for unpaid GALAXY, was
concluded in the district court yesterday
by the jury returning verdict for the
plaintiff for the sum OF 81, Isl .06, the
amount asked for in the petition being
something over S4700. 1t is well known
that MIR. Frost was connected with the
Denver road when it was in it's infancy.
and occupied the position of superin-
tendent, general freight and passenger
agent, and general purchasing agent.
His salary as superintendent was paid +,
but that for the other positions WAS never
paid, aud it WIS for this he sued. The
defense pleaded the statute of limita-
tons, and Frost was confined to two
years in proving up his claim. This he
did and, Notwithstanding the fact that
the company plead in reconveution an
Offset of $500, which it was claimed
Frost drew while in Office, the jury
brought in the verdict rs aforestated.
Mr.. Frost is highly eIuted over his vic
money involved, but because 1t places
him in a proper position before the pub
lilo. In all probability the case will be
taken to the higher courts by the de-
PENDANTS.

THE UNION PACIFIC.

President Adams Denies Current Reports
About the Officials of the Road.
In regard to the physical condition of
the Union Pacific railroad and the stories
recently put in circulation about it,
President Adams says: "They are mali
cIous, and originated with some of the
officials recently discharged from the
company's service. l have just been
over the main line from Ogden to
Omaha, and 1t is in far better condition
than | ever saw it before. As to the
traffic of the road, the only mistake the
officials have made has been to try to do
this years. business with last year s
equipments. The board of directors,
fully approaching the probable growth
of tonnage, made ample provision for it.
One huudrel AMI seven locomotives
are to be added TO our power and some
5000 freight cars, or a new locomotive
every other day of the year and half
full train OF freight cars for every day of
the year. After n careful examination
/ am satisfied that the only thing the
Union Pacific is now suffering from is q
plethora of riches. 1t is much in the po-
sitlon of 100 horsepower engine which
is worked to move machinery requiring
$50 horse power. Whatever ru!nors
may be circula ted these are the facts in
regard TO the Union Pacific, and it will
inevitably SO appear u little later on.

Special to the Gazette.
GEORGETOWN, Tex. Nov. IA meet
ing of the officers and directors of the

company was held at Taylor yester-
day, when the charter was submitted

call for the per cent. collection, and
Tonight the Georgetown portion is in

Taylor parties to insure the early compile
ton of thirty miles of the road, which
will ultimately extend west to Llano and

Texas. They are being utilized by the
roads for hauling other kinds Of freight,
for the reason that there are not enough
OF the ordinary freight cars to do the
business.
The packing house at this point would
be ready to start up in full blast to-mor-
row If shipment of ammonia pipe had
been received, but on account of the
miserable railroad service, this great en-
terprise, which means more for Texas
than u half dozen railroads, must remain
idle. 1t is lamentable fact that there
is not in the United States to-day rail-
road that has facilities for transaeting
the business it receives. Railroad presi-
dents say that their road are making no
money. If this Is true, there Is con-
dition of traffic that will enable the roads
to thrive, as they cannot haul the freight
offered them to-day. There Is something
Rotten somewhere, and it smells loud.

To his surprise the road had not beeu fin

route, leaving his car here with an inyi-
tation to the Comanche people 10 inspect
it, of which opportunity several availed
themselves. The Y was completed last
night, which will be quite convenience,
as heretofore the trains were pulled In

road is in first-class condition, and trains
arrive and leave on time. Lumber and

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Republicans
here are more concerned about Pennsyl-

that the situation Is critical, and it will
require the most desperate measures to
save the state ticket from absolute de-
feat. Republicans are more alarmed
about the state congressional ticket than
they are about the fate Of Delamater
Lifelong Republicans here say that it
will be the hest thing that could possibly
happen to Republicans of the Keystone
state If Pattison Is elected governor. In
such an event il would mean the over
throw of Quayism, which, Republicans
claim means victory to the Republican
candidate in 1872; but, on the other hand,
if Quayism triumphs, then there is no
more show for Republicans two years
hence.
Members of the Democratic congress
sioual committee received Information
to-day that the only danger of Patti
sons defeat is trading of votes for con-
gresham.

Two Funny War Stories.

Congressman Allen, of Mississippi,
never tires of telling funny tales about
the war. Here are two.
A confederate soldier in certain reg
iment had become noted for running
away from every fight. On one occasion
his Captain found him in line as an unex-
pected attack opened. Standing behind
him, the captain drew his pistol and
said:
''Now, John, up to this time you have
run from every fight. You have dis
graced yourself on all occasions. Now,
if you stir from the line this time | in
tend to shoot you dead. shall stand
here, right behind you, and if you start
to run shall certainly kill you"
John heard the Captain through, and,
drawing himself up to an unusual height,
replied:
"Wall, Captain, you may shoot me if
you like, but I'll never give any low
lived, low-down Yankee the privilege of
doing it"
At Murfreesborough a Confederate
soldier was rushing to the rear with all
the speed he could command. An Of
ticer hailed him and sneeringly inquired
why he was running so fast away from
the Yankees. The soldier, without
stopping, yelled back:
because | can't n.y."

Women as Watchmakers.

'Now that women are making their
way in almost every trade and profession
in this country" said well known jew
eler, sit seems strange 10 me that so few of
them work at Matchmaking" In Switzer-
land, even years ago, when learned the
trade there, there were many women
watchmakers. Now, IN that country,
there are nearly as many women in the
business as there are men. But in all
New York there are only four women
watchmakers whom know of, and am
reasonably well informed One of these
women lives up in Harlem, far away from
the business portion of the town, and she
must make, on an average, from $25 to
S35 week. ! send many of the more
delicate watches which are brought to
me to be repaired, to her, and other jewel
ers do the same thing. She does good
work and she lives in quiet neighbor-
hood. The latter is, you know, very i'm
portant to matchmaker sometimes. The
jar caused by the passing OF heavily
loaded trucks and by the elevated rail-
road and so on, is sometimes so violent
down here in the business part of the
town that it is almost impossible to do
fine work"
