work SO well that no one would touch the paper

The Fort Worth snd Albuquerque road started

Lynch of this city, and work was begun In
earnest. Mallory, Cushing q Co., the origt-
nal contractors. wrote several tirnts to push the
work and that they would soon be here with big
forces to tackle the grade beyond Springtowr.
They did not come, and the excuse was sent that
they were detained in New York on business In
which Mr.. Jay Gould was mixed, and 1t looks as
if they were considerably m.xet all round. This
matter in New York wss finally settled, but in
stead OF Mallory or any one eise c9ming 10 Fort
more work be done on the Albuquerque road on
their account. Here was pretty kettle OF fish
for factI There was q niger in the wood
pile'' to certainty, and there was no denying
It. That Mallory had been worked on by
some influence that did not wish this
road built there seems to be no doubt. What
that influence is left for the people to Judge
but there are plenty of people in Fort Worth
who do not hesitate to point it out, aud perhaps
they DO not aim far from the center. The Fort
Worth and Albuquerque road had attempted to
float no bonds the finn building it was one of
known financial ability, and it had become gem
orally known that no bonds would be offered for
sale until loo miles of the road had been COM
pleted. This being the case, the enemies of the
ROAD coulo enecG nothing by back Gaping In
the money centers. Something else must be
done, and it was done. Mallory, Cushing s. Co.
were worked by the hocus- pocus-rabbit-foot
process, and they pulled out.
These things should convince the people OF |
Fort Worth that If they expect to have this ropd
built to section that is one of the finest in |
Texas, the trade of which will all come to this |
city, they will have to build it with Fort Worth |
capital put up by men who cannot be hOcus |
pocussed by any man. II Fort Worth once starts |
to build the line with home money it will be |
built, and those men who backcapped Dallas |
and Southeastern bonds and those men who |
pulled Mallory of the track will make at |
tempt to i.fuence Fort Worth men away from |
the enterprise. for the reason that they know it |
would not ouly result in failure, but it would |
also expose the ''nigger in the wood pie''- |
would show who it is that under the guise OF |
fifth rio.
There is only one chance for the Albuquerque !
road to be built, and that is for Fort w orth to !
put up the money and do it.

Tie belief is pretty well established in the
minds of those people in Fort Worth who havo

attributed to the work of other roads that are

territory lying between the Fort Worth and
Denver and the Texas and Pacific. II this is
true, and there seems to be good grounds to
believe it is. it is not the only northwestern
scheme that has been hampercd by the secret
work OF existing railroads. Company after COM
pany has been organized in Dallas to build
road into this vast territory which is only par
TALLY developed on account Of a lack Of railroad
facilities, Eud company after company has been
pushed 10 the wall and finally collapsed. The
Dallas, Archer and Pacific, the Dallas and

OF intentions and promises, and one of them got
pretty well under headway, having expended
about 500, OO1 and graded, here and there, about
fifty miles, more or less, of track. AT this stage
Of the game the funds gave out and an attempt
was made 10 float the bonds of the scheme.

MUBDEROUS CONSPIRACY.
Further Particulars Regarding the Attempted
Assassination Near Quanah.

Further Particulars Regarding the Attempted
Assassination Near Quanah.
Special to the Gazette.
QUANAH, TEX. Aug. 30.-Further in =
formation concerning the attempted
murder of j. H. Taylor Thursday night
at his home within a mile and half of
Quanah reveals the following facts:
The family had retired early, and Mr..
Taylor, who had drawn his bed into the
center of the room and left the doors
and windows wide open, was sound
asleep when he was attacked by I'M
known, persons, one of whom attempted
to sever his head with an ak and, owing
to the low ceiling, failed to strike cor
rectly and chopped his victim across the
face, intiicting a horrible wound ex-
tending from the brow over the right
eye down diagonally across the bridge of
the nose and down the left cheek to the
under jaw. The ak bit was literally
buried III the mans face, and although
he is still alive it is hardly possible that
he can recover.
When the attack was made Mrs. Tay-
lor awoke and saw two men standing in
the doorway, one of them with an axe in
his hand, and the other pulling ct the
legs of MIR. Taylor's pants, which we're
hanging to the bed post. Without COM
pretending what had occurred she
sprang from the bed and screamed,
which awoke the other members of the
family and frightened away the assas-
sins.
DR.. Becton was Immediately called
and gave prompt and careful attention
to the wounded man, who is still living,
but lies in lethargio condition, appar-
emily partially unconscious and without
pain.
While his recovery is within the range
of possibility, it is extremely doubtful.
Mr.. Taylor is about fifty years of age.
with a strong, rugged frame and excel
lent constitution, and he may possibly
survive the frightful misfortune that has
overtaken him.
The case Is still to the public at large a
profound mystery, but the authorities,
il is rumored, have obtained clews which
will bring to light facts that will stsrtle
this community. The belief is well
founded that Mr.. Taylor IS the victim of
3 murderous conspiracy.
