A SOLDIER KILLED.
RESULT OF A SALOON ROW AT
FORT SAM HOUSTON.
His Comrades Storm the Place Later and
Demoish Its Contents, but Fail to
Find the Slayer.


Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, May S.-Last night,
in q saloon back of Fort Sam Hous-
ton, occurred desperate ARRAY in which
one man lost his life and several others
We're injured, in a place which is known as
the Grand Central, kept by man named
Stewart, formerly private of the
Nineteenth infantry. Last night party
of five privates of troop K, Third cavalry,
entered and began drinking beer. Be-
tween one of them named J. Prescott and
Stewart q dispute arose about change and
Prescott struck Stewart in the face
The latter, an immensely powerful
man, sprang over the counter,
pistol in hand; but was seized and dis
armed. He then ran behind the counter
and reappeared with q heavy monkey
wrench with which he struck Prescott on the
head. The point of the wrench was buried
in the skull and Prescott died at 10 O'Clock
this morning. Stewart knocked down three
out OF the four remaining and made good
his escape.
After roll call party of 80 soldiers
stormed his place, looking for him. He
was not there, and they proceeded to
wreck the house. They smashed two mir
rors. spilled liquor, kicked out the doors
and windows and left only the walls and
roof standing.
Stewart was arrested this morning and is
now in the county prison. No attack by
the soldiers is anticipated.

1T WILL LAST.
The Western Traffic Association has Stood
the Severest Test.

The Western Traffic Association has Stood
the Severest Test.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, May SIN Wall street and
also in railroad circles to-day very favora-
bic opinions were expressed with regard to
the meeting OF the advisory board of the
Western traffic association. 1t was said
that the bear ruInorS that the
association could not last had
been most effectually disposed of and that
the good effect of the work already done by
the association would be felt for a long
time. the association has shown" said
one well known banker, that It can accom-
plish what it set out TO do; that it can ex-
ist of itself and that its commissioners and
agents can do what was declared to be i'm
possible. The existence of the association
means the saving Of many thousands of dol
lars annually for the stockholders. There
is no longer any doubt as 10 the continu-
ancc of the Western traffic association. 1t
has come to stay az any rate until some
thing better takes its place.
''Will that be q gigantic operating COM
pany?"
That l cannot tell"
Mr. Gould said: Everything was done
unanimously; there was not dissenting
voice. l have not watched the stock mar
ket, but l should say from the feeling at the
meeting stocks should be worth 20 per cent
higher prices. Al this gold that is going
out will come back TO Us when we begin 10
market our wheat in July, l do not know
where the gold is going''

BEAUMONT, Ten, May S-A largely at
tended and enthusiastic meeting of the citi-
zens of Beaumont was held in Lumber
mans hall this evening for the purpose of
considering a proposition from North

Cided upon to Sabine Pass. Y. Weiss acted
as chairman and ]. +. BorbageS as secre-
tary of the meeting. Committees were ap-
pointed on right of way, depot grounds,
stock, subscriptions. etc.
The main object OF the meeting was to
feel the pulse of the capitalists of this
place as to subscriptions, what they
wanted, and We're willing to give in
return, also the route for the
proposed road. Shreveport, Dallas and
Marshall, are favorably spoken of as objec-
tive points.
Mr.. W. y. Fletcher of this city, and rep
resenting the capitalists, will visit Orange
and other towns in their interest. He will
visit New York the latter part of the month
and lay before the promoters the propo-
sltlon of the representative towns, when
1t IS expected the route will be chosen.
Information of very satisfactory nature
vas received here to-day concerning the
proposed car works. The amount sufficient
10 establish and operate the works has
been raised. The promoters state they will
have representatives here in few days to
close deals and prepare for the inauguration

The Alton Making More Trouble.

CHICAGO, Ill, May Sat the closing
session OF the Western passenger aSsocla-
ton to-day there was a disagreement on tina
question of summer tourist rates, and the
result was that much important business
was left unfinished. The Burlington and
Wabash wanted the round-trip rate between
ST. Louis and Kansas City to be fixed at as
per cent OF the regular rate. The Alton
would consent TO this on condition that sim
liar rates be allowed between St. LSais ard
Chicago and Chicago and Kansas CITY,
which was not agreed to by the other lines.
The Atoms representative proposed that
for the annual convention of the National
educational association, to be held in To-
ronto in July, rate of one fare for the
round trip plus 50 be made via Detroit and
Port Huron and the Canadian roads
direct to Toronto only, and not
by way of Buffalo or Niagara Falls.
This was voted down in the interest of the
routes by way of Buffalo over which the
Alton is unable 10 ticket because of boy
colt. The association also voted down a
proposition Of the Alton to make
the reduced rates to the To-
ronto meeting apply only to the
eastern terminals OF the lines in the West
ern passenger association. The question
of the Grand Army rate was treated in the
same manner, and the meeting finally ad-
journed in confusion without taking action
on these matters. The Alton absolutely
refuses TO agree to reduced rates for any
event that involves an Interchange of GER
uficateS with Eastern connections SO long
as the boycott is in force.

ANXIOUS DEPOslTORS.
THE PHILADELPHIA TRUST COM.
PANY CLOSES DOWN.
The Comptroller OF the Currency Orders
the Doors of the spring Garden Ma
tional Bank Closed.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May s.-The Penn
sylvania trust company, which has its
Office in the Spring Garden national bank
building, made an assignment this after
noon. The National trust company, which
made an assignment this morning is really
a part OF the bank that is said to be solvent,
the assignment being simply for the pro-
lection against a run. The capital stock
of the bank is S750, 900, fully paid in, and by
the February statement the reserve fund
amounted in round figures TO $l50,0O0. On
Tuesday last the bank declared semi-annual
dividend of % per cent, and the stock sold at
Sl.2l, par being 800. The banks line of
deposits amounted to about 1000, 900, and
the city of Philadelphia, who has 800 600
locked up in the broken keystone bank,
again suffers to the extent OF Sl54000.
SPRING GARDEN NATIONAL OF PHILADELPHIA.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May S.-Another of
Philadelphia's national banks closed its
doors this morning by order Of the comp
troller of the currency. After doing busi-
ness for one hour and half this morning
the Spring Garden national bank closed its
doors and posted the following notice:
by order Of the comptroller Of the cur
rency this bank is closed until further no.
tice. w. p. Drew, national bank examiner. "
The news Of the closing of the bank
spread rapidly and large crowd soon col
lected. but a6Inittance was denied to all.
III answer 10 requests SeHI 10 HreSlueuL
Kennedy asking for some information as to
the reason of the bank closing, the follow
ing note was sent out:
We have this morning decided to place
this bank in the hands OF Mr.. Drew,
national bank examiner. This step has
been forced upon US, principally by the
large withdrawal of deposits during the
financial stringency, which commenced last
September, and the continued dizziness of
business since. To meet these on our,
reserves, it was found impossible to REALMS
rapidly on our assets. We have been below
III our reserve for some weeks past, and
can see no immediate prospects of increas-
ing it. We still owe balance to the clear
ing house committee for outstanding loan
certificates, payment of which is being
pressed. These facts, coupled with the
disturbances Of the past week, have caused
increased uneasiness on the part of some of
our depositors. together with a weakening
in our credit with other banks. We hope
the suspension will only be temporarily.

As TO LEEDS.
What Railroad Men Think of His Dis
misSal.

What Railroad Men Think of His Dis
misSal.
The news of the dismissal of Traffic Man
ager Leeds of the Missouri Pacific, while
not unexpected to Fort Worth railroad men.
was yet rather startling and was the prin-
cipal theme of discussion yesterday.
Said a Denver official: u do not believe
Gould has fired Leeds. / think that he
simply relieved him from duty on the Mis-
souri, Pacific, possibly for u few months,
and that he Will then bob up serenely as
traffic manager OF the Union Pacific OF
course | know nothing about it more than
have read in the prints, but l do not believe
that rate was cut and the business secured
without either jay Gould's or General Man
ager Clark's knowledge, though of course
such might have been the case. Leeds is
railroad company to '' be DISPENSED sed
with lightly. If he is actually fired sum
marily, it Will be bad for the Missouri Pa
citic, because other roads will be only too
glad TO secure his services"
Said Missouri, Kansas and Texas Of
fetal: You can set il down in your little
book that if Leeds has been fired, and l be-
Ecve he has, you can expect hades to pay
among the railroads, and no pitch hot. If
Gould has let Leeds so. YOU can depend
upon IL he is after the other lines. They
can say what they please, but they were all
since The GAZETTE predicted month or
moro ago that Leeds would be made the
scapegoat, and would have to bear the
blame. l thought THE GAZETTE was OF its
base, but subsequent events have proved it
WAS almost rs good prophet as Foster But
IL regard 10 this Leeds matter believe
Gould has got the other lines cornered. and
that he has let Leeds go in order TO comply
with the rules and will now turn around
and demand the heads of some other traffic
managers. Hanley of the Santa Fe, H H
COPYRIGHT of the Alton and knight of the
Wabash are said to have been in the cut,
