TEXAS NOTES AND PERSONALS.

No one enterprise in Texas has accom-
plished as much in the direction of
developing the states resources by in
ducing capital and immigration to locate
within her borders as the Texas state
fair and Dallas exposition. Its benefits
are state wide, stripped of all section
alism, and every county in Texas should
70 up to the fair this fall with an ex-
hibt. In fact, the counties which are
bidding far increased capital and immi-
grafton cannot afford TO ignore the claims
of this fair.

General and Local Notes.

The Fort Worth and Albuquerque
and unless there is something done the
probabilities are that the affairs OF the
road will remain in statu quo for some
lime to come. 1t is useless to state how
important this road is to Fort Worth,
and how much benefit it would be to the
trade of the city If it was completed
that has been done time and again, still
there appears 10 be lack of get-up-and-
get about our people to do thar which
they know must be money in their
pockets. If money sufficient could
be raised to iron the road for
the first ten miles there is hardly q
doubt that that portion of it could
be bonded for a sufficient amount to push
it on for another ten miles. Then other
bonds could be issued until the road
reached Springtown. The people of
Springtown are eager and anxious to do
all they can to secure the road, and if
our people would only come to the front
once more it would be built in time to
handle this years. cotton crop. If the
enterprise is allowed to end where it now
is Fort Worth viii regret it for all time TO
come.
Messrs. Hurley, Tieruey and Lynch are
still at work finishing up a job at this end
Of the line, and driving piles where they
will be needed. When this is finished the
work will stop, unless something Is
done to help the road out of the hole. If
any effort is being made in this direction
il Is kept rather quiet, but it is to be
hoped somebody will take some steps in
this most imDOrtaut matter.

The Alnslsan sche me.

The project for railway to Alaska is
about to take a definite shape. Appli-
cation will be made IN parliament at the
next session for the pas age of an act in
cooperating the Vancouver, Northern
aud Alaska railway and navigation
company, with power to build q railway
from Vancouver, or some other point on
Burrard Inlet, on the banks of the Fra
ger river, to points on the Parsnip and
Peace rivers, with branches in a north
easterly direction to the Skeena and
Stikeen rivers to the boundary OF Alaska
1t is safe 10 assume that when the road
is completed TO Alaska that it will not be
long until the scheme to bridge Behr-
ings straits will begin TO assume shape,
and then it need surprise no one if Asia
and America would be connected by
railroads. Such scheme is practicable
and there are men living to-day who will
see IL carried out.

The Difficulty Between the Knights and New
York Central Railway Growing Serious.
New YORK, Aug. 6.-The difficulty
between the Knights of Labor and the
New York Central railway assumed
rather a startling shape to-day. During
the night ]. j. Holland of the executive
board of Knights arrived in the city, and
this forenoon he made three different at
tempts 10 have a conference with Third
Vice President Webb in regard to a
peaceful solution of the trouble. Webb
refused to talk with him, and motioned
him out of the office. Then Holland
talked the matter over with Toucey, and
the latter went TO see Webb. This gen.
tIemau remained obdurate. Then Hol-
land asked Toucey for reinstatement Of
the discharged men, but got no reply.
Holland warned Toucey that he and
Webb would be responsible If any strike
resulted. The district committee of
knights will meet again, and Will fur
Their consider the matter.
Powderly, president of the Knights,
end Hayes secretary are in Philadelphia
ready TO be called if their presence is de-
sired. The impression Is growing among
the employees of the road that w-r upon
the knights was decided upon some time
ago md that Depew, being opposed TO
it, went to Europe so as to be absent
when the discharges occurred.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
GAINESVILLE, TEX, Aug. deputy
United States Marshal Little came down
from Ardmore this morning. He states
that he and two other deputies arrested
five negroes on Wild Horse yesterday :,
charged with the murder of the man
Brice, whose bones were found in q cave
some time since on that stream. The
arrested negroes were taken TO Ardmore
last night, and will be given a pre-
liminary hearing before a United States
commissioner there to-day. Mr.. Little
says he is satisfied that the examining
trial will develop such evidence as to
cause the arrest of other parties. The
general opinion in Ardmore is that the
negroes are innocent of the crime.
