JUDGE M'CORD GIVES THE HIS

Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, Ten. June 26-The Iegisla-
tive committee resumed its investigation of
! the International and Great Northern rail-
road at ~ a IN. to-day.
Judge McCord resumed the stand. He
defined and gave reasons for every act of
his court in relation to the receivership and
emphatically challenged any one to
show any act of the court or
orders emanating therefrom in
the administrat of the receivership af-
fairs of the International and Great North
ern railway, where he, as judge. had trans
crossed the law. His explanation of his
various acts and orders was lucid, and the
only reason he could give for the causes
leading to the investigation, was the fact
that under the receivership he did not have
fat offices enough at his disposal to satisfy
all of his friends.
Major Waldo, first ice-president and
general manager of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas, testified as to the
$4,000 advertising contract with A.
H. Belo & Co. He said the contract was
for regular advertising and not for shaping
or influencing the policy of the paper
with reference to any contemplated legisla-
ton. That was not suggested or thought of.
To his knowledge, the Galveston and Dal-
las News did not receive one cent other
than for regular advertising; that it did
not, nor it could not. He never paid or Of
fered to pay one cent for political purposes.
The witness declined to answer an in
terrogatOry as to whether the association
did not raise fund by assessment of $20,-
600 to influence legislation. The witness
stated he had been brought before
the committee for specific purpose and re-
fused to testify to certain matter which
in itself was irrelevant to the investigation.
The witness also declined to answer
whether or not, as chairman of the aSSo-
citation, he had ever made vouchers or given
drafts for money for parties aiding in and
about the legislature. Several sharp tits
occurred between the witness and Judge
Duncan during the cross examination.

Hustling for the District Baptist College.
To Accommodate the Confederate
veterans-Anglin Case Verdict
Special TO the Gazette.


WEATHERFoRD, PARKER COUNTY, Tex,
June 26.-The committee appointed at a
mass meeting last week to secure subscrip
tions to the bonus to secure for this place
the district Baptist college has been faith
fully at work, and has met with very good
success. The members think that the peo-
pie can hardly afford to let the opportunity
of securing this educational institution slip,
and that from business stand point they
will subscribe literally.
The GAZETTE correspondent has learned
from MIR. w. 3. Slack, ticket agent OF
the Santa F'e line, that to accom-
modate the old Confederate veterans
who desire to attend the annual
reunion of Parsons and Granbury's
= brigades to be held at Temple on the 18th,
the company will attach a passenger coach
to their through freight going south from
Cleburne on the night of the 18th, leaving
Cleburne at about O'Clock. This will be
quite an accommodation to those desiring to
attend, and especially those from the
county, who can leave here at 2 O'Clock
Sunday and arrive at Temple the same
night.

What Agent Bennett Says.
Special to the Gazette.
PAUL's VALLEY, L T., June 26-Your
correspondent has just had an interview
with Agent Bennett, who arrived this
evening from White Bead Hill, four miles
west of here, where the cavalry and militia
are encamped. Agent Bennett denied the
story of the miliIia's drunken escapades
while en- route to Parr, asserting that they
have behaved themselves most becomingly
since leaving here.
Governor Byrd returned to his home at
Stonewall this morning.
The sheriff of this county, with posse of
militia, took eight Chickasaw citizens to
Tishomingo to-day, charged with violation
of the tribal laws, and it is said some
forty have been arrested. Few intruders
have been found whose cases, in the judg-
ment of Agent Bennett, justified ejectment,
but two were taken along with the mill
tary, and less than dozen warned to dis
pose of their property and leave the coun-
try. No attention is being paid to the So
called intruder's list, and Agent Bennett is
very lenient and courteous in the treatment
of those who have no permits. If the en-
tire nation is worked over it is safe to say
that less than 100 people will be
elected, and those are of the character the
country can well spare.

WHEAT MOVEME
A CAR FAMINE ALREADY FELT AT
SOME POINTS.
The Wheat offered for Shipment Will In
crease Ten-Fold in Ten Days-A
Huge Panhandle Farm.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
VERNON, WnBARGER COUNTY, Tex, June
ga travelling correspondent of TIE GA
zETTE met Capt. Z. NJ. Cole yesterday, a
member of the firm of Geo. NJ Dilley &
Co. of this place, and asked how matters
We're going on their big ranch. This firm
has 2000 acres in wheat just south of Har-
rold. Capt. Cole said they were running
two binders and two headers They carry
the wheat right from the header to the
thresher, and they are cutting and thresh-
ing and delivering 1000 bushes per day on
board the cars at Harold. This
company has a little farm of $3.50
county, $40 of it in body. Capt. Cole
says their crop will average eighteen
bushels per acre. The captain places the
average full low. II is generally believed
it will reach twenty bushels. As was an
ticlpated, lack of transportation is already
causing uneaSinesS among the buyers and
shippers. The GAZETTE sounded the alarm
early in the season, and had it not been for
the destruction of track by the late water
spouts the Fort Worth and Denver would
have been equal to the occasion. But what
the results will now be is impossible to say
and the company should use every means
to prevent car famine, for such would
prove more disastrous to the Panhandle
than would another flood.
Possibly the management of the freight
department is not fully aware of the de-
mand that Will be made on it inside of ten
days. It is claimed by those in position to
know that in ten days 1000 bushels of
wheat will be moving where 100 is now
moving. This stands to reason. At
Quanah alone fifteen steam and horse
power thershers are preparing to go into
the fields. For ten days every ell
evator in the Panhandle will
be taxed to its utmost capacity At Harold,
Vernon, Chillicothe and Quanah the car
famine is already being felt. Many of the
cars being rendered shippers have been
loaded with leaky barrels of syrup or with
lime, rendering them totally unfit to ship
wheat in. Many of the cars have no grain
doors, and this necessitates delay. 1t is
going to require some of the best business
sagacity obtainable to handle this enormous
wneat crop successfully Here is an OPP
portunity for the great Fort Worth and
Denver to make a record, as well as hand
some cash balance, and save the Panhandle
from disaster.
The local agents along the line cannot
handle this business. 1t must be done from
headquarters and will require the und-
vided attention of the best talent in the
freight department. These are not hastily
written views, without careful investiga-
ton, but are facts gathered from response

moved that '.Mr. Christian be made butler
to our queen"

Coke passed through to-day on his way to

Der of persons who are discontinued with
various things, are united only in their

the third party are not agreed amongst
themselves, they can scarcely expect sturdy
Democrats to understand them beyond the
patent promise that they want some
thing they have not got Coke treats
with scorn the idea that the various
meetings of the Peoples party now being
held in every county of Texas will ever
amount to anything, in either . state or
national way. They may ride, he said, un-
til their seats are sore, and resolute until
their tongues hang out Of their mouths, but
they can't phaze Democratic majority of

pie they said y" they just didn't like the
