Nov. IA libel suit of unusual promin-
ence has been begun here against The Bos-
ton Traveller. The damages, actual and ex-
|. emplary, are laid at 500. 600 The suit arises
from column article in the Traveller Novem-
Der maliciously attacking Col. II. Ropes,
one of the most respected citizens in this
city. Said article is believed to have been
inspired by certain members of the Par
American railway and the Pan-American
construction companies Of Boston. Suits
had been begun here IN behalf of the Corpus
Christi and South American rail-
way company of which Col. Ropes
is president, against the Boston
parties and also by the cont actors, and
their property was seized and is now in the
hands of the sheriff, The total amount
sued for is upwards of $500, 900. The de-
PENDANTS are Joseph S. Anthony. G. H.
Tonic. George A. Hatch, John j. Sullivan,
all of Boston, and F. A. Whitney
of Leominster, Mass, all in their
The suits are for labor performed, material
furnished and damages. The beginning OF
these suits by the Corpus Christi credit
ors was Immediately followed by the
publication in the Traveller for
Each of the statements in the article
is pronounced by Ropes to be maliciously
false. He followed the suit against the
Traveller with another against the men
who are believed to have conspired together
to make up the false and malicious state
ments contained in the Traveller. Ropes Is
man of great energy and resources, and
has won the admiration of all Texas during
the three years he has lived here. One Of
the great projects which the Travellers
article is aimed at, is the ship chan
mel at Ropes Pass which will
make Corpus Christi deep water seaport.

already open distance of ono

Is being vigorously pushed. Much
indignation is felt here against
the Boston parties for their course In the
railroad matters, and this feeling has been
intensified by this attempt to damage the
prospects Of the great deep water work thas
is becoming Of national importance.

Cleveland on ParnelI.

NEW YORK, Nov 1.-THE committee of
arrangements for the proposed Parnell me-
mortal meeting at the Academy of Music to-
morrow met last night. Reports from sub
committees showed that the success of the
affair was assured. Among the letters re-
ceived was the following from ex-President
Cleveland:
No. SIC MADISON AVENUE, Nov. IL, 1891.
John McConyil, Chairman, etc.
DEAR SIR am staunch believer in the
doctrine of home rule and have not failed to
appreciate the labors in the cause of the
man whose services you propose to COM
memorate. For what he accomplished and
sought to accomplish for home rule, he de-
served to be honored by all those who have
free and representative government. but
his aims and purposes had their rise so COM
pletely in patriotism and his unselfish love
for his countrymen was so conspicuous and
disinterested that the reverence and devo-
ton due to the memory of a patriot must al
ways be associated with his name. The in
fuence of his example surely ought not to
be lost upon those who take up his work to
which he SO thoroughly consecrated all his
efforts and aspirations. Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

DENIsoN, GRAYsoN COUNTY, TEX, Nov
4.-The trainmen of No. 3 south-bound
passenger due here at 4:30 a. H., report
quite an exciting time on their trip through
the Indian Territory. Word reached the
South Canadian, I. T., station agent yester-
day morning that an attempt would be
made to rob the south-bound passenger that
night The source of the information was
such that he notified headquarters. Detec-
tives were sent south on No. 8 and an addi-
tional force telegraphed for at Muscogee
When the train left the latter place it was
guarded from front to rear with officers
armed with winchesters. Engineer Nc
Comas was handling the throttle.
When running into South Canadian he
says six armed men on horses stood but
short distance away When the train came
to a stop they turned their faces westward
and disappeared. The officers made no at
tempt to pursue them, but feel certain their
intention was to hold up the train but
smelled a mouse and decided not to. The
passengers during the night are reported
to have been in fever of excitement. AS
usual the thing is credited to the Dalton
gang. The above statement was given in
good faith from a reliable source, but your
representative could not find any one to
verify it.

ance Union to order.
Mrs. Caroline B. Buell., chairman of the
department of organization, spoke of the
of the temperance cause and the progress
made. She reported that the number of
unions organized was 159.
Mrs. Sophie H. Grub of Wisconsin,
superintendent of the department of work
among the foreign people, made her report.
Mrs. Frances j. Barnes of New York
next told of the young womens work. Mrs.
Barnes, who is the national secretary of
the Young Woman'S temperance associa-
ton, spoke of petition bearing the names
of 10000 young women to college students
and graduates, asking that wine be BAN
lshed from class suppers. In regard to the
work of the Worlds Woman's Christian

ported for the juvenile work. She said that

fectioners of the city that they would sell

ment Doing to Prevent it2"

this suggested that Senior Montt had given
