REVOLUTION IN RAILROADS.

a Texas Man Has Invented a Railroad on
the Unicycle Plan Safer, Cheaper
and Faster Than the old System.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 10, $780,
Judge c. G. Cummings, Fort Worth. Tex.
DEAR SRA short letter from Texas
Abroad to yourself will. we trust, be
of sufficient import to balance accounts
for your valuable time employed in
reading the same. On yesterday your
writer accepted an invitation TO see the
unicycle railroad now under construc-
ton at the Home novelty works of this
city, and we were agreeably surprised
when our eyes scanned this new and
peculiar structure. 1t is in point of
strength, superior to all elevated roads
even those of surface structure, where
creeks, rivers, etc., are TO be crossed by
means of bridges, culverts, etc. In
this truss system upon which this new
system ia built, one portion stands as q
support to the other, and upon examina-
ton of the various points of this unicycls
rails we are prepared TO say that it
has come to stay. II is surprising to see
the growing interest that is becoming
more and more manifest in refer
ence to this TexIs invention.
1t Is now believed to be the coming rival
of all railroad systems, not only for mail
purposes but also for freight and passen-
ger, and the friction being much less
than any other, 1t can be propelled
as an electrical machine at o much higher
speed than that yet attained by any other
system. Scientific men here say that it
is not at all impossible for this as rapid
transit to run with safety 100 miles per
hour. 1t is certainly the most econom-
zeal railroad ever introduced when we
contemplate the troubles to be looked
after on all old lines. One man with his
wrench IN his little car, built for this
purpose, can keep IN repair more than
twenty men can on the surface system,
and your writer believes that 1t will not
be many years till this system of railroads
will become state and national property
to be used as public thoroughfare by
which the farmer can ship at nominal
expense the products of his farm to the
most distant points. This enterprise is
now recognized as fixture, and the
same has been allowed space in the ex-
position building, at which place 1t will
be operated on 100 foot track. Mr..
Turner of your city is being highly
complimented as the originator
of this new and valuable enterprise;
and Texas is particularly very inviting
field for the Introduction of this system
of railroad, for in climbing hills and
crossing deep valleys all emergencies IN
point of heavy expenditures, etc., is
comparatively nothing compared to that
of the old system. Our comments upon
this road are really not your writer's
opinion only, but a condensation of SEN
timents as expressed by scientific men of
this city and elsewhere. Numerous lines
Will be in prospect in few days, and
the few friends here and elsewhere who
have given aid to this enterprise will GER
tainIy be largely remunerate. Respect
fully, TEXAS ABROAD.

THE RAILROADS.
Rates to be Restored on September l if
Nothing Happens.
A Few Facts About Railroad Building IN tbs
NOrthwest-GeneraI and Local News
OF III Rail.

The traffic managers are still at work
in Chicago indeavoring to strengthen out
the Texas rate situation, and while there
IS an appearance of an agreement
having been arrived at, it
is possible that the trouble has
only been smothered for the
time being and it may break out after
September again. Local freight men in
Fort Worth yesterday received kilograms
that Texas rates (and this meant from
New York; of July LIST would be restored
Gu September LIST. This looked
as if the war would end at that
time, but it may not. On top
of this announcement it became
known that the Houston aud Texas Gem
trail III connection with the Morgan line
OF steamers, had put on rate of 80
cents Oh the first five classes to Texas
points 10 become effective to-day. This
Is regarded suspiciously by other
railroad men and they are on
the look out for all that comes.
1t may be that the wRr is over
and that rates will be restored on a firm
aud satisfactory basis, but it will not do
TO presume too much. The meeting at
Chicago Is still in session and doing all
that can be done 10 fix q bad matter up.
The Eastern roads have taken a hand in
the matter and, as will be seen by the
following, will charge full local rates in
Texas:
sIecial to the Gazette.
CHICAGO, Ill. Aug. 1S.-Texas roads
continue in session this week trying to
restore rates. Eastern roads notified
them that prorating will be abolished on
Texas business, owing TO the low rates,
and full local will be charged.

Severe Storm in France.

PARIS, Aug. lS.-A storm of phenom-
email violence that swept over the de-
partment of Aube last night, in half an
hour turned into desert all that section
of country over which it passed. 1t
arose west of Caroassonne and took an
easterly direction sweeping away woods,
vines, crops and everything that lay in
its course. The losses are estimated at
$500. 900. What little was left standing
after the first hurricane passed was de-
stroyed by the hall storm that followed
quickly in its track.

A Good Business.

While there is no particular rush on
any of the railroads IN Texas at present,
the business on all the lines is good. A

business been SO good as it Is this sum-

TEXAS CROPS AND WEATHER.

The report from Moody, McLennar
county, is that cotton VIII make about
three -fourths of bale to the acre IN the
country close TO town, ana IN the dis
tricts where there has been more rainfall
| it will not be less than bale to the acre.
In the vicinity of Huntsville the cotton
prospects are the best known for many
| years.
The cotton crops on the black lands OF
| Fannin county bespeak an abundant
| yield.
The corn crop in Rockwell county will
be light on account of the drouth In June
and July, but there will be plenty for
| home use.
Blanco county has had heavy rains but
others are needed.
Showers in Cass comfy have bright
ened up the cotton, cane, and potatoes.
The cotton will yield fair crop.
A fair crop of corn will be garnered in
Greer county this year.
Cotton crops are fine in Delta county,
but the late corn was cut short by the
drouth.
This years cotton crop promises to be
the largest grown in Hopkins county for
several years.
The prospect for large cotton crop in
the county is very fiattering, says the
Greenville Headlight. The stalk is of
good size and well frulted, and If no dis
aster befalls it in this county it will
yield from half to bale per acre.
Plenty of corn has been raised II care
fully used for home consumption, and
we predict lively times in old Hunt this
fall.
TERRELL, Aug. lS.-Terrell has been
visited by the much needed rain, but not
sufficient to meet the demands. Satur-
day small rain fell and yesterday we
were visited by splendid shower. The
rain did not extend very far.
CLEBURNE, Aug. 1S.-Our city was
visited with considerable rain and wind
this afternoon. During the storm light
ming struck b. F. Smith s residence in
West Cleburne. tearing some few
shingles from the roof. he damage
was small.
MESQUITE, Aug. IA fine rain fell
here to-day nearly two hours. About
three inches of rain fell, which will do
much good to late cotton and revive the
grass and cool the atmosphere. During
the rain lightning struck the residence of
August Tasch, damaging a brick flue and
tearing off lot OF shiugles. All the fam
lily were more or less stunned by the
shock, but none were injured. One little
girl had one ear considerably burned. 1t
was inueed u narrow escape.
MARQUEE, Aug. 1s.-A big rain fell
here this evening, which was badly
needed.
SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 1s.-After a
drouth of two weeks. when the cotton
most needed it, heavy rains fell last
night in all of the country north of San
Antonio for 100 miles. In the neighbor-
hood of Kerrville, eighty miles north, it
was particularly heavy, and all through
Kimble, Kendall, Gillespie, Mason and
San Saba counties. The farmers esti-
mate that at least a half bale to the acre
and more is secured.
