THE ARKANSAS PASS MANAGERS.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. CIT is
stated upon authority that the resig-
nation of ID. b. Robinson as general
manager of the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass railway after one week
of service, has nothing more behind it
than the inexpediency of his immedi-
ately assuming charge. He made a
trip over the road, inspected it's work
ings and was thoroughly satisfied
with it's outlook. When a reOrgani-
cation is affected Mr.. Robinson will
assume charge as president and gen
eral manager. His retirement is
therefore merely temporary. He is
known throughout the railway circles
of the United States and is looked
upon as one of the most competent
men in the profession. When the road
passes from under the receivers, who
are working to place it upon a sound
financial footing, Mr.. Robinson will
take charge.

GALvEsTON's LOST STEAMSHIPS.
The Traffic Lost to Texas is But a Gain to

Special to The Statesman.

GALVESTON, Tex, Oct. 22-The
Pioneer Steamship line of Galveston
and of Texas ceased to do business in
this city with the recent withdrawal
of the Morgan steamers from this port.
From the time when the first vessel
Of that line, the steamship Columbia,
traversed Galveston bay in 1887, and
but few rude houses marked the
site of the bustling seaport of today,
the Morgan line was most import
ant factor in the growth and develop
ment of this city. 1t presided at the
city's birth, nursed it's infancy and
gave strength and wealth to its man.
hood. The line direct to New York
of steamships outclassed by none in
the coasting trade. Weekly trips
were made during the cotton season,
from Sept. until April of each year.
The vessels came in laden with mer-
chandise and departed with cotton.
The extent of their outward traffic
as obtained from the books in the
United States custom house for the
season of 1S90-91 was 101, 1872 bales,
which at $40 per bale amounted to
$5,059,000. The estimate weight of a
bale of cotton is 500 pounds and on
that basis 5O,596,000 pounds or %, 29S
tons of freight in cotton alone was car
ried from Galveston to New York dur
ing the period OF the year which the
vessels ran in the trade. The officials
of the line in this city estimate the
value of incoming cargoes of their
steamers at % per cent less than the
value of the outgoing Deductipg
this IS per cent from the value of out
going cargoes and the result is So, 49,
700 as the value of the freight which
the vessels brought in during the
seven months i'll which they piled in
the trade, adding the value of the
outgoing to that of the incoming car
goes and the total is S., S54 300 for one
season.
This immense figure Galveston
loses and New Orleans gains by the
Withdrawal of these steamers and the
concentration of this trade at the lat
ter city.
This is not all, however. The bulk
of the cotton thus shipped was con-
centrated in Houston by the railways
controlled by the Southern Pacific
system, where much of it was COM
pressed and thus brought to Calves
ton in barges and discharged into the
steamships here. A large number Of
men were furnished employment in
Houston as we'll as in Galveston, caus-
ing weekly distribution of large
amount of money here and in Hous-
ton, which has now ceased here and
to certain extent there by reason of
the withdrawal of the line and the alb
sorption of the business by New Or
leans.
Much as some individuals and
papers have attempted to belittle the
withdrawal of these steamers, the fact
nevertheless remains that it is severe
blow to the commercial and marine
interests of this port and gives to the
Mallory line of steamships virtually q
monopoly Of the ocean traffic between
this city and New York.

DENIsoN, Tex, Oct. 22.-About II
o'clock last night an elegant hack,
valued at $500, the property of Coun-
Gilman Cutter, was smashed into
kindling wood by the Sherman
passenger train on the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railroad. The
vehicle was crossing near the depot
which was not properly guarded.
There were three passengers in the
coach, and all were slightly injured.
The probabilities are they would have
been killed in an ordinary light con-

PART OF HER BRAINS GONE.
The Very Remarkable Case of New Jersey
Child.

PATERSON, Oct. 22.-Medical circles
are discussing the case Of 3-year-old
girl who bids fair to live notwith-
standing the loss of portion of her
brain. She is q child Of Charles Smith,
a silk dyer.
a few days ago she ran into a
brewery wagon which was unloading
a cask of ale. In trying to get away
from tho horses she ran between them
and the wagon. One Of the horses be-
came frightened and kicked. The
caulk Of its shoe struck the child in
the forehead and threw her almost
across the street. When picked up a
deep wound was found in her fore
head extending upward to point
almost in the center of the summit of
the skull.
The child was taken to DR.. Meyers,
who examined the wound and found
that he could with ease insert his
thumb in it. The front part of the
skull had been fractured. The little
one was unconscious and there was
every indication of immediate death.
In the evening the doctor again
visited his patient and, to his surprise,
found she had almost completely re-
covered from the shock, but that
hemorrhage had set in. This was
soon controlled, however, and DR..
Meyers dressed the wound, still ex-
pecting that the child would be dead
| before the next day.
But on the following day his as
constituent was even greater to find
the child alive and doing well. He
therefore proceeded to remove the
fractured bones which were pressing
on the brain. He took out one piece

A GOVERNMENTAL FAKE.

SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22.-Priva.e adj
vices received from San Diego and
other towns of the section wherein
the recent governmental rainmaking
experiments were made utterly dis
credit the first reports, and
the correspondents assert that
after nearly seventy-two hours
of continuous bombarding not enough
rain fell to lay the dust. What did
fall was brought down by norther
which blew up that night and caused
showers at many points outside of the
sphere of the eXploders. In the San
Diego part Of the country the whole
thing is regarded as grand govern
mental fake, and in support of this
view Of the matter inquiries are re-
terred to any reputable citizen of San
Diego, Tex.
The money for the San Diego expe-
riment was put up by neighboring
stockmen. The amount was $4,000,
and they are all kicking. They say
that the results in Texas so far from
being complete demonstration of the
practicability of the theory claimed
by Dyrenforth and young Ellis, clear
ly show that there is nothing in it,.
During the weeks spent on the "C"
ranch near Midland slight rains fell.
In that section at the same time last
year miles of the Southern Pacific
track was washed out by tremen-
dous down-pour. No rainmaker was
in sight then.
At FL Paso the only result was a
heavy dew precipitation, likely to oc-
cur at any time. At Corpus Christi
it rained continuously from natural
causes and the "cloud compellerso
had no chance to do anything. At
San Diego the result has been practi-
cally nothing. 1t is stated that the
next congress will be asked for q
large appropriation to continue the
experiments. The ranchlnen of west
ern Texas would like to see the gov
ernmeut put up some money. They
will put UP no more themselves.
RAINNIAKER INTERVIEWED.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 22.-John
S. Ellis, who has been in charge of the
government rainmaking experiments
conducted at Midland, Eel Paso and
San Diego arrived here today on his
way to Mexico, where he goes at the
invitation Of prominent officials. In
an extended interview he stated that
he was well pleased with the success
of the series of experiments and be-
lieves that they demonstrated that
artificial rain making is not only feas-
ible but practicable. 1t is calculated,
he states, that the cost Of the recent
rain, he claims to have produced at
San Diego and surrounding county,
was one-fourth Of cent per acre and
the benefit 10 cents per acre.
