THE DIVISIONS.
The Fort Worth and Denver Appeals
the Commission for Hearing

The tabulated divisions of freight rates
on lumber framed by the railroad commits
sion for the Houston and Texas Central and
the Fort Worth and Denver as published in
THE GAZETTE, does not suit the Denver
people. they claiming that their side of the
question was not heard by the commission,
and they have made an appeal for a hearing
and think it will be allowed them. As soon
IS a copy of the circular was received by
the Denver people their request for the
hearing was wired to the commission
asking that date for said hearing be fixed
as soon as possible.
In the meantime lumber cars all loaded
are accommodating all along the line OF the
Central, and this led to an effort being
made yesterday to have the cars received
and forwarded by the Denver to their desti-
nation, the question of division to be set
tied hereafter, but it did not work. Prac-
tically, the situation is unchanged.

CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. ga meeting Of
presidents and managers of the lines in the
Central traffic association will be held at
Chairman Blanchard's office to-day for the
purpose of reorganizing the special East
bound committee and considering the rate
situation This can only be done
by consent of the Chicago and
Grand Trunk and the usual pressure will
be brought to bear upon the representative
of that road to restore switching charges
and thus enhance the revenues of all lines.
1t is almost safe to say that the effort will
not be successful, though it is
claimed that the Eastern officials and direct
ors of the Grand Trunk have been so
worked upon by false reports that they de-
cided TO order the traffic manager of the
Chicago division to restore the switching

its supply of water in Fort Worth, let a
contract to the Panhandle machine and i'm
plement company to sink well to the third
flowing stratum, near the railroad company's
roundhouse. near the Union depot. Work
of putting the well-boring machinery in
position was begun at once, and on the 9th
day of October, less than thirty days ago,
the drill was hitched to the beam, and from
that day until last Saturday night at 12
o'clock work was pushed for all that was
out At that hour The depth of 500 feet
was reached and the first flow of water was
struck. and it came gushing out of the
mouth of the hole at the rate of l25 gallons
per minute, and as the sand-bed was pene-
trated deeper the flow increased.
This is the quickest well digging ever
done in this city, a depth of 500 feet having
been reached in twenty-five days, an aver
age of thirty-two feet per day. The well
will rot stop at this point but will be sunk

A Fight in High Life.
Special to the Gazette.

LAREDO, WEBB COUNTY. Ten, Nov. %
A sensational report which appears to be
well founded is current here that Gen.
Geronimo Trevino, president of the Mon
terey and Gulf railway, and one of the
prominent members of the Mexican army,
who aided Gen. Diaz in his revolution some
years ago in Mexico, and Gen. Bernardo
Reyes, present governor of the state of
Nuevo Leon, had difficulty in the latter's
office at Monterey yesterday and came TO
blows. 1t is said Gen. Reyes was sitting at
his desk writing when Gen. Trevino en-
tered. Shortly after the trouble occurred,
which resulted in the free use of ink stands,
Office furniture, etc. 1t is said Gen. Ire
vino took the first train for City of Mexico.
No cause is known for the trouble.

Several years ago the railroad company

veral confreres and passed the time most
pleasantly. The Press gang had the
good fortune to meet on the train, Mr..

agent who Is now one OF the useful and
esteemed citizen OF Alexandria, who
spared no pains to be agreeable to the
members Of the press and made 1t his
duty to see to their comfort while in his
little city. and on the arrival Of the
train. at 1886 a. M, he secured car
riages and conveyed the editors to the

It was necessary to remain In Alex

The editors passed away time in this
town In viewing the town and country.
In carriages provided for us by MIR.

ously entertained by the people Of Alex
andria, who by the way. will put in their

Through the Weary Hours.

OF many a night, made double long
by its protracted agony, the rheumatic
sufferer tosses to and fro on his Sleep
less couch, vainly praying for that rest
which only comes by fits and starts.
His malady is one which ordinary medi-
cines too often fail to relieve. but there
Is ample evidence to prove that the Off
cient blood depurent, Hostetter's Sto-
mach Bitters, affords the rheumatic re.
liable means of relief. Check the mala-
dy in its incipient stages, when the first
premonitory twinges come on, with this
agreeable medicine, and avoid years OF
torture. Whatever be the rationale Of
the active influence Of the Bitters up \
this malady, certain 1t is that no evi-
dence relating to its effect is more direct
and positive than that which relates to
its action in cases of rheumatism. Like
all sterling remedies, however, it de-
serves protracted, systematic trial, and
should not be abandoned because not at
once remedial. 1t is equally officacious
in dyspepsia, indigestion and kindred
diseases.
