Northumberland News.

The steel for the extension of the
Fort Worth and Rio Grande road is all
here, or along the line of the road,
ready to be pushed to the front as soon
as the graders now at work have finished
up. The grading that has been going on
for some time has, according to agree
ment, been done by private parties, and
there is still q small portion of the line
between Dublin and Comsnche, the con-
tract for which has not been let. This,
1t is probable, will be let during the time
that Mr.. c. NJ. Wicker, vice president
Of the road, is in the city. 1t will take
but little time to finish mp this
work, and long before the cot
ton crop is ready to move
the Fort Worth and Brentwood -
road will have been completed and in
operation TO Comauche.
There is no probability that this road
will make long halt at Comanche, but
what direction it VIII be built in directly
from Comanche no one knows who will
give up the news. 1t seems more
than likely, though, that the line
will be built to Llano, in the county of
tnat name, and from there on down to
Eagle Pass by the best route TO be had,
aud It is SAID that is over the portion of
road graded by Fredericksburg and Llano

An NJ. X. & t. Change.

MICS. Miner commercial agent of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas road at this
point has resigned that position to accept
q more lucrative and more desirable one
in the general freight office at st. Louis
His resignation is effective at once and
he will Immediately enter upon the dis
charge of the duties of his new position.
Mr.. Miner has been in Fort Worth but
a short time comparatively, but while
here, by his courteous manners and
obliging disposition, made many warm
friends in Fort Worth all of whom while
they rejoice in his securing a desired
change will regret to see him leave Fort
Worth. Mr.. Miner successor here has
not been named.

A Good appointment.

The Fort Worth and Denver City rail-
way will on June 1 open up their Fort
Worth station for the transaction of BUSH
ness direct through their own Employees
The selection for agent of the company
at this point has been made, and Mr..
VIII F. Sterley is the gentleman hon.
ored. This appointment gives universal
satisfaction certainly to the railway COM
pany and to the public at large.
MIR. Sterley was born at Henderson =,
Mimi. his fathers family having moved
to Fort Worth when he was but eighteen
years of age. He entered the service of
the Texas and Pacific railway company
ten years ago as truckman, working his
way up from that capacity to the posi-
ton of chief clerk at the local station
resigning the chief clerkship to accept a
more remunerative position with the Fort
Worth and Denver City railway company
at their general office.
He has been with this company for
over three years, and is one of its most
trusted employees, which is evidenced
from the fact that they have made him
their representative at this point. Mr..
Sterley is well and favorably known to
the people of Fort Worth, and they will
rejoice with him in his extremely good
fortune. His friends in the Denver Of
fee are highly elated at his well merited
promotion, and:part with him only from
the fact that it is to his interest and the
interest of the company he represents.

change in the principles OF the order Of the
railway conductors, were hardly uttered before
they were published in the daily papers. The
two kilograms received yesterday, one 70 Mr.
Ostrander and one from Mr.. Crittenden, are
both published this morning.
Had those who had scted with the majority
during the entire session taken the same oourss
with regard to giving the public information,
matters would present an entirely diff
serted by some few Of the members who
declined to acquiesce in the action of a
large majority, that they would use their best
endsavors to mako the Order of Railway Con-
ductors strike organization, or place It in the
control, if possiblaC Of the very few who per-
hsps desire to go TO the extreme on the strike
question. Let me ask the members and the
tpublic generally to suspead their verdict and
make their decision upon the acts and record OF
the Order OF halfway Conductors and not upon
ex-paSte statements and accusations made by q
very Few dissatisfied members, among them
some whose ambition for place has been disap-
pointed.
In regard to the extract from the New haven
News, published in the Union of the 18th
which is also being spread broadcast over the
berS, such puerile nonsense is unworthy of any
serious attention, and it is, perhaps well for
some OF those whose cause Mr.. Hermance es-
pouses that It is so. For if all of the facts were
made known to the public it would place some
OF these malcontents in very unenviable posi-
non' Inc wholesale charge OF perjury made by
MT. hermance can, in my mind, only be lik-
ened TO the one iuryman who could not, by any
means, influence the eleven ignorant and obsti-
AatC OASS W JUN u1lu IN MS opinions.
The position of the Order of Railway Conduct
ors in regard to these members is exactly this:
There is no desire or disposition to force any
members out OF the Order SO long as thew are
willing to abide by its laws, and, in accordance
with their obligations, yield a cheerful compli-
ance to the will of lawfully constituted ma
iority. II, however. they can not do this, we
have no room for them. Due allowance will be
made for the disappointment and I-feeling con-
sequent upon defeat, hut If, after a reasonable
time, commonsense and good-fellowship does
not resume its sway with these men, they must
leave the Order of Railway Conductors
In regard to the surrender of the charter of
Division 1853, its charter has not yet been sur
rendered, anu while it ia quite likely that some
of its members will withdraw, am reliably in
formed that unless undue advantage is taken by
those who follow the lead of Mr.. Crittenden, its
charter will not be surrendered.
Action has already been taken by the grand
division to define exactly the position Of the
Order and authoritively deny the absolutely false
statements that have been given, either directly
or indirectly, to the press of this city. Yours
very truly, WILLIAM P. DANIELS.
