4 Blow to the Anti-Lottery Party.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 10.-[S Especial. IA
primary election was held in this city to-
day for the selection of delegates to the
Democratic convention. The election,
which was one of the most exciting and
hotly contested ever held here, turned
largely on the lottery issue. Anti-lot-
tery, Democrats who are opposed to the
re-eharter of the lottery company put full
ticket in the field. The other faction,
which was in favor of submitting the lot
terry question to the popular vote, carried
largest primary vote ever polled here. 27,-
OOe, carrying all the II wards and electing
tine 139 delegates Il is considered severe
blow to the anti-lottery party.

HEALTH SUGGESTIONS.
Plenty of light isas essential to good healtl


as pure air. -.
Eat meals Of good. plain food regularly.
Mutton is the most digestible meat
In wet weather wear stout waterproof
boots in preference to rubber overshoes.
Dr. B. W. Richardson says that he has
never known a death from bronchitis or
pneumonia that did not spring from cold
1t follows then that COLI is a more danger
Gus malady than is usually thought; SO be
careful of yourself.
By far the best method of getting rid of q
cold and consequent depression is to take a
little pure whiskey in water. Such a stiinu-
liant promotes the circulation, which has
been checked, and removes the effects of the
chill
Great care should be exercised in buying
whiskey. The presence of fusil Oil or other
Impurities is source OF danger to those who
imbibe it.
The only whiskey that is manufactured for
purely medicinal purposes Is Duffy's Pure
Malt and may be obtained from druggists
and grocers. There is no other whiskey so
free from fusil oil or SO pure and beneficial.
The leading scientists say so. ocl6-wED

TO TAP HIS PoCKETBooK.
A Huge Suit Against the Wizard of Wall
Street to be Filed.

If all reports are true, Jay Gould is to
have his hands full. II was for time
thought he had been able to squeeze the
Rock Island so he could get control OF It,
but the Rock Island is rather eel-like and
managed to slip through his fingers. Now
President Gable is after jays pocketbook,
and if successful in his suit will be able 10
recoup in q great measure the losses en-
tailed by the construction of lines west OF
the Missouri river.
When Charles Francis Adams and hls
Harvard graduates were playing at rail-
reading with the Union Pacific a deal was
made with the Rock Island whereby the
Rock Island was granted lease rights over
the Union Pacific bridge at Omaha. In
order to get to this bridge from the west
the Rock island had to build a
link from Beatrice, Neb, to Omaha.
This was not opened when the
road passed from Adams manage
ment. When the time came for running
the trains over the bridge, Gould SAID no.
The Rock Island officials stormed, swore
and entreated, but the Wizard was ad-
amantine in his frmness. Mr.. Gable then
attempted to force the contract, but Gould
cody informed Mr.. Gable that he didn't
care tinker's curse what the contract
made with Adams called for. he didn't
intend the Rock Island should cross that
bridge, contract or no contract. Now MI
Gable will ask the courts to enforce the
contract and at the same time allow him
something like $4,000 damages per day,
because his trains have been denied the
bridge. If the Rock Island gets judgment
MIR. Gould viii be several million dollars
poorer, because the fight has been going
on for some months. The majority OF
railroad men say, however that If Gould
wants 10 ''renig'' on that contract he will do
it despite the mandates of the courts.

Chairman Finley of the Western passen-
ger association has notified the Nickel Plate
road that if it does not stop selling IN
limited tickets to St. Louis by way of Chi
cago the Western roads will withdraw from
it the right to sell tickets over their lines.
The train collectors on the Big Four are
to be dispensed with. Trains on the divis-
ions where they are employed show no in
crease in earnings, while those divisions
where the conductors still collect fares are
increasing. They have been found to be an
unnecessary luxury.
The Boston and Albany railroad has been
requested by the New York Central to take
Alton tickets off sale. The Boston and Al
bany contends that it is not legal nor right
for them TO refuse tickets OF their connec-
tons, and they take the tickets of under
protest, simply to protect their passengers
against possible discomforts on the New
York Central.
The revenue of the Southwestern pool
in March was S55S,713 and the tonnage
1913, $50 tons. OF this tonnage Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy secured 1928,
1875, Atchison 1913. Kansas City and
Memphis 11.22, Wabash S.92, Rock Island
5.95, St. Paul 5.37, Stickney roads 3,93. The
Missouri Pacific and Burlington and Quincy
are ahead Of their allotments.
Chairman Finley has called a meeting of
the Western passenger association for to-
day TO consider the advisability of advanc-
ing the passenger rates from Kansas City
to St. Louis. The regular rate of s. 50 was
reduced to meet the rate made by the
brokers and an effort is being made TO re-
store it on the ground that the brokers
have no tickets that will affect the business.
The application of the Alton for cent
mileage rate will also be considered.

IN CONVENTION.
The Master Mechanics and Master Car
Builders Meet.

The regular meeting of the Fort Worth

This association was organized in Febru-
airy, 1890 and meets on the third Monday
in each month at Fort Worth. Prior to the
organization of the association there was
considerable complaint about cars being de-
layed in passing through Fort Worth but
since that time all has been serene AT the
meeting yesterday the Master car builders
standard coupler was discussed at some
length, and u resolution was passed to COR
respond with other master car builders as
sociations in regard to the rules of inter-
change of the same.
The question of fixed and uniform
price on air brake hose to be charged to
each road was discussed.
The principal object discussed was the
interchange and maintenance of cars be-
longing TO private corporations and indi-
viduals. speciality being made of the
stock cars as well as refrigerator cars. A
great number of these come into the state
to be loaded. This convention saw an OPP
portunity for great improvement for both
the railroad companies and the shippers,
and it was decided to adjourn the meeting
until next Monday for further discussion
of the matter. The president and secretary
were instructed to request master
mechanics and master car build
ers of all the roads in Texas
and adjoining states to attend this meet
ing for the purpose of coming to a definite
understanding relative to the maintenance
and keeping in proper condition of all
stable stock cars owned by private cor
porations or individuals. The convention
will be called to order at II a. m, Mon
day, April 81, at the Ellis. and the Ques-
ton, which is of great importance to the
railroads and stock shippers will be def
nitely disposed of. Upon this one point
hinges many of the delays to stock and
other trains which the action to be taken
Monday is designed to avert.

A negro drayman named Clay Hen
bricks. made an assault upon Mr.. G. W.
Williams in H. Thomson s store Tues
day afternoon, and served him pretty
badly. The negro was doing some
hauling for the store and being given
some order about unloading became
imputent to Mr.. Williams. He was
told by that gentleman that he would
be settled with and that would be the
last hauling he (Henricks) could do for
them. Going into the store Mr.. Will
liams told Mr.. Thomson to pay the
negro and not let him do any more
work for him. Hendricks was settled
with and informed that they would
not have any further use for his services.
At this he became enraged and refused
to leave the house when ordered to do
so. Mr.. Williams took him by the
arm and told him to go on away when
the negro turned upon him and struck
him a savage blow which felled him to
the floor. Mr.. Thomson then attempt
ed to pull the negro off, but such hold
did he have upon Mr.. Williams that
they were not separated until both had
been thrown out the door. The negro
then made an attack on Mr.. Thomson
and it was not until he had knocked
his assailant down and some one ran
up and interfered that the affair ended.
