THE THING NEEDED.
Northern Markets for Texas Fruit
and Vegetables.
LETTER FROM MR.. G. H. Ruee.

In your paper of the 10Th an article from Mr..
Pritchard of Dakota county, Neb., I think
strikes the key note of the transportation prob
lena government road from Kansas City or
Omaha to Chicago and also one from Kansas
City to deep water on the gulf through to Texas.
Such a road would regulate the rate on all other
roads.
1 have been working to solve this freight uues-
ton for nearly two years. You published the
result of my efforts last July to ship melons to
Chicago from Texas, and on small fruits and
peaches it has been impossible to send them to
pay expenses; but have now to say have the
promise from the management OF one road that
if carried out will let us out in Eastern Texas,
ana have hopes that other roads will do the
same: the rate promised IS by the Cotton Bet
fifty cents per 100 in car lots; and think no
fruit-raiser or shipper viii complain of that
The time is less than two dayS-about fOrty-one
hours if not delayed at Cairo. On melons, on
freight time OF five days, forty cents per hun
dred which will give Chicago melons by July
If the season is early as last, and at one cent
per pound, or twenty cents for twenty pound
melon.
think if there was a need of Livingston and
Stanley going to Africa to explore that dark
continent there is greater need OF working up
the Texas fruit aud melon industry, and when
once established, the tide of emigration from the
North will be turned in that direction, for 3
market is all it needs. G. 81. RUGG.
To the Gazette.
WICHITA FALLS, TEX, April 21.-I
find the above in the Prairie Farmer of
the 10Th instant. Mr.. Rugg is right.
There is nothing that will help develop
Texas more than providing market for
our surplus fruit and vegetables The
shipping of Texas products to Northern
markets would be a grand and effective
advertisement for the state, and would
result in inducing many people to come
here. A reasonable rate and fast time
is all that is wanted to make gardening
and fruit raising profitable in Texas. The
officials of the Fort Worth and Denver
railway have done well by the
shippers on their line, and the result is
that there is quite a demand for small
farms all along the line, and in q few
years this business will bring in a good
revenue to the road. Canning factories
have been established and more will fol-
low, and instead of buying our canned
goods from California and other states
we will keep the money at home.
Mr., Rugg should be encouraged and
assisted in the good work. If he succeeds
in getting good rate the whole state
will be directly benefited. X. Y.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, April 2I.-Mr.
G. L. Houghton, the New Mexico cattle
king now in this city, said tonight that
the main object of his visit to Texas just
at this time was to meet
Jay Gould before he got out
of the state and enlist the
Wall street magnate in gigantic rail-

talists are now working up. Mr.. Hough-
ton says that all arrangements have been
made to soon begin work on a road from
Los Cerellos coal fields, southwest of the
Santa Fe, and the richest and
largest IN the territory, to Aran-
sas Pass. The road as projected
passes through San Antonio en- route
to the gulf, and will penetrate a magnif-
icent stretch of country, rich in min
erals, agricultural lands and grazing. 1t
will be a bee line to Arkansas Pass, and
will leave Ell Paso about 200
miles on the east. Mr.. Houghton
met Mr.. Gould at Dallas and
laid the plan before him, and MIR. Gould
made elaborate notes of the scheme, ex-
pressing himself as very favorably i'm

DEEP WATER.
Manager Angel Tells of the Progress Made at
the Brazo's Mouth He Doesn't Think the
S6,OO0,0OO Appropriation Will Pass.

Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, April 19.-Mr.
George Angel, resident manager of the
syndicate developing deep water at the
mouth of the Brazos, passed through
San Antonio to-day en- route to the Pa
cifio slope on business for his company
In a general talk On Texas deep water
prospects, Mr.. Angel said: eve
now have twelve feet of water
over the bar; the ietties are
completed out to $500 feet each, leaving
but 400 each to complete. This is being
done at rate of forty feet per day, so
that in, say thirty-five or forty working
days, we should have them nearly COM
pleted. We are now on the slope of the
bar and moving the crust. The forces
employed are about 500 men in the brush
and piling camps and on the jettles. We
think July l will give us eighteen feet of
water, and November from twenty
to twenty-four feet, by which
time railroads will be running
to and from Houston, the Santa Fe and
International and Great Northern and
the Brazos and Northern, the latter own
ed by our syndicate. Two years from
now will see at least FIVE railroads run
ming to this deep water port. The
Sc 900 200 appropriated for Galveston
would make no difference to us. | have
doubts about its passage by the house,
for the reason that plans adopted
by the government engineers are
considered very defective and congress is
not eager to expend Sc 900, 200 on an ex-
pertinent. No property will be put on
the market until we shall have secured
sufficient water over the bar to admit
deep and swift vessels and shall have
constructed sufficient wharves and rail-
road terminal facilities to accom-
modate the business. IT'S no child's
play with US, we are in dead earnest
and are putting in our own hard cash,
knowing full well what we are doing,
and that we will be the first deep water
point on the Texas coast, and 1 hope
Arkansas Pass will get her bill through and
try what an engineer from civil life can
do for them. No use to depend upon the
West Point engineers-they haYe never
made a success in hydraulics, and
probably never will. The jetties'

feet, and the docks will be a combina-
ton of piers and slips, so that the vessels
lying at the dock will not be exposed to
the force of the current.
Speaking of the objections made by
some of the narrowness of the river
between docks, as well as to the mar
rowness Of the channel between jetties,
Mr.. Angel referred to the Chicago
river, only 200 feet wide, and thought
that if Chicago could get along with 200
feet the Brazos could with 600 feet. No
dock construction will be commenced
until the jetties are nearly completed,
but piIing and material is beng pre-
pared. The present depth of water on
the bar is about the same as the govern
ment engineers give for Galveston.

MURDERED AND BURNED.


A Wealthy and Respected Citizen Robbed
and Cremated In His Dwelling.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo-. Jan. 20.-About
ten O'Clock Friday night the neighbors
OF Hugh B. Farmer, who live about
eight miles south of here, saw that his
house was on fire, and on going to the
scene they found the entire building
completely enveloped in flames. The
| house was built of logs, and looking
into the main room they saw Farmers
dead body burning to a crisp. but all eff
forts to take it from the burning build
ing were futile, and after the fire only
charred fragments remained.
For several years past Farmer had had
a number of negro tenants on his place
some of whom he recently detected in
stealing from him and at once had them
leave his place. The first theory after
the fire was discovered was that a coal
oil lamp had exploded and burned
Farmer and his house, but later develop
ments lead to the theory that some OF
the thieving negroes murdered him for
his money, and on account of their i'll
feeling set fire to the house to destroy
al cslueuCeS Ot Tue CTline.
Farmer had two pet dogs and after the
fire the bones of one of the animals
were taken from the smoldering en-
bers. The other was found on the place
alive with his hair saturated with coal
oil. The dead man Friday purchased q
gallon of coal oil at little store near
his place and it is thought the murderers
hi oil Srn %1o 6rrfl Sy,cy ND
poured it on the two dogs after they had
killed their master. but that one of them
escaped from the house when the door
was opened.
The terrible affair has caused intense
excitement among the people of this To-
caiity and no effort will be spared to I'M
ravel the mystery with which it is sur
rounded.
The unfortunate man was bachelor
about siXty-five years of age and lived
all alone. He came to this section from
County Wicklow. Ireland, about thirty
years ago where he was educated for an
Episcopal minister. His family were
wealthy and ariStOcratic people, and be-
cause they refused to permit him to
marry his mothers pretty housemaid,
with whom he had fallen desperately in
love, it is said he became embittered
against them and left his native land.
Soon after his sweetheart was welded
to another. After he came to this
country he received large sum of
money, part of which he invested in the
fine farm of about 400 acres near this
city, on which he had lived as recluse
for the past thirty years. He also pur-
chased real estate in other adjoining
counties and had considerable money
deposited in the Greene County bank at
this place.
The deceased had no relatives here so
far as can be learned and the heirs to his
property in all probability live in Ire
land. He was highly cultivated man,
but was usually quite reticent and was
we'll read and posted on all current
matters. He was a prominent leader in
the grange movement among the farm
ers several years ago and was highly re-
spected by all who knew him.
