CONDUCTORS TO MEET.

The Regular Meeting of the Order ut Which
Important NJ alters VIII be Considered.
There VIII be plenty of railroad con-
ductors in Fort Worth to-day, this being
the date for the regular meeting of the
members of Division 81, Order of Rail-
way Conductors, in the state of Texas.
The meeting will convene at Firemen s
haIl al O'Clock this afternoon, and 4,
while il will be held with closed doors,
all visiting conductors will be permitted
10 attend Besides the regular routine
business TO be disposed of there will come
up u matter of no little Importance to
the conductors.
It seems that there is rule on all the
railroads centerIng at Fort Worth ex-
cept two 10 which the conductors object
and il is their intention 10 have il
changed il they can do so in peace
able way. As things now stnnd
both conductors and engineers are called
by the companies callers to go TO work.
The engineers are allowed time from one
hour after they are called for work, but
the time of the conductor does not begin
until the train which he has charge of
pulls out on his trip. The conductors
claim that they should be on the same
footing in this matter with the engineers,
and they will request the railroad COM
pauies to so change this rule as TO give
them full justice.

special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
Houston, TEX, Aug. 2.-Another
damnable crime has dsrkened the pages
of Houston's history. During the past
few years there have been several cold
bIooded and wanton murders committed
here, some of which could
have been averted had the peace
officers done their duty, and for this
mornings crime they should be held rs
being accessory before the fact. Yester-
day afternoon Frank Bates, a braga-
docio bully, who is nephew of the late
W. II. Baker and an ex-deputy
United States revenue collector, got
on one of his periodical DRINKS.
He started out with 45-calibre Colt g
sixshooter In one hand and q cowhide
IN the other. His irst act was TO cow
hide an OLD man of nearly seventy. By
this time he was arrested, but as soon as
the shades of night fell he commenced to
run amuck. He cursed and abused the
barkeepers at the point of his gun,
took in the faro banks in the same man
ner, and with a sixshooter defied the
police, who. had they arrested him,
would have prevented a tragedy. After
all these escapades, he went into q saloon
about 8 this morning where Alphonzo
Frazier, proof reader of the Post, was and
there Bates reviied the barkeeper and

Another Plot Against the Car.

PARIS, Aug. 2.-The Steele and Figaro
print reports that fresh Nihilist plot
against the czar has been discovered in
St. Petersburg. According to these re-
ports Professor CortowSki of the univer-
sity of St. Petersburg aud number of
students at that Institution, who it is
alleged are concerned in the plot, have
been arrested and many persons have
been taken iuto custody in Moscow on
the same charge. Officers of high rank
in the Russian army have committed sui
eide, and it is supposed they were found
to be implicated in the conspiracy against
the czar and took their lives rather than
undergo arrest and the punishment which
was sure to follow.

An Antidote for Cowardice.

Just before the battle of Antietam
five recruits came down for my COM
pany. There were no bounty jumpers
at that stage of the game, although the
courage and patriotism of all recruits
could not be vouched for. One of the
batch was named Danworth, a farmers
son., fresh from the corn-fields, and as
we took up the line of march to head
Lee off and bring him to bay Danforth
said to me-:
"See here, Sergeant, I've made a
mistake"
"How."
Il hain't got no sand. | allus

here and see what wal is, find | hain't

"That's bad"

"Then you're to be called a coward,
and be disgraced forever"
"That's so, and | don't want it. |
want you to do me a great favor"
"Well?"

right, and forgit my shaking. Keep
an eye on me, and as o as we git

After some further talk / promised
him. We were in Hooker's corps, and
as we moved in against Jackson, Dan
forth obliqued alongside and said:
Sergeant kick me or | shall bolt.

chicken die"
VIZ were moving through the tim
Der, and | stepped behind him and
lifted him twice as hard as | could
kick. He shot aside, and the next
time / saw him we were at the fence
ON the edge of the corn field. The fire
was hot and the men were falling thick.
l had just fired from a rest on the top
rail when Danforth came up, faced
the other way and said
"More kicks, Sergeant | know I've
dropped two fem, but my sand is
goingp'
| kicked him again with a good deal
of vigor, and just then we got the order
to advance, and as he was the first man
over the fence. Half an hour later we
were driven back, considerably dis
organized, and | came across Dan
forth again. He had a rebel Captain
by the collar, and was carrying the
officers sword in his hand. As he saw
me he called out
"Sand is all right, Sergeant. No
more kicks. AS soon as / take this

object to such an experience oftener.

What did l do? Look at it, picked
out a alfdozen goodies from the half
dozen sections, put them on the broad,

table, and watched the progress of the
