And jefferson County Will Have to Adam
don the River Road Near Brilliant.
The injunction case of the Commits
sioners of jefferson county, O., against
the C. & P. Railroad Company, to re-
strain that corporation from appropriat-
ing land near Brilliant used for coun-
ty road, on which to erect double
track, which has been before Judge
Hance for several days, came to sud
den end about noon yesterday, when
attorneys for the railroad introduced the
journal of the County Commissioners
for the month of June, 1889, in evidence,
and showed oy it that the said Commits
sioners had granted a petition signed
byO. NJ. Waddle and others for county
road over the hillside. This, Judge
Hance decided, was practical abandon
ment of the road by the side of the rail-
road tracks. The railroad people and
the Commissioners afterwards held
conference to determine on a compro-
mise, but the former would agree to
nothing but the building of new road
over the hillside, and the engineers OF
both sides will take view Of the locality
next Tuesday.

SILK GALLuS GRANGER.
He rs Scheme for PusMng the Priceaof
,G,tton Up to 10 CBntssa Pound, and
the Alliances Eagerly
AdpEt 1t.

CMaUMBIA, S. C., Aug. 21.-A
scheme, the main object Of which is to
save the present ,egop of cotton from
being sacrificed, has been formulated
in this city and is TO be at once pushed
through all the cotton growing dis
tricts. The sehemeWas on ginated by
a farmer, f. NJ Stoebes, and will be
put into active operation by the ALI
.ance which has already approved it.
The scheme proposes shat trust COM
,nanies with a eapital of from 10000
TO S3OJoeO each shall be formed
in every county in the cotton belt.
Mhese Companies shall receive as sub
,sariptiOnS One-thipd OF cotton crop of
members. So firmly age these trust
companies to be bound that cotton
thus placed in their trust can posi-
lively not zoe touched for a year. At
the expiration Of that time the COM
panses will BE dissolved and the cot
toesheld in trust be returned so its
owners. BY this means it is calcu-
lated to hold the cotton supply for
this year down to about $500, 0004)ales
and consequently bring the price up
to abOUt10 cen5s per pound dnstea1 of
6, as the present average.

POOR OLD GALVESTON.
The Morgan Steamers Withdrawn,-Velasco
Will Probably Get Them.

GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. 2l.-The
Southern Pacific (better known as the
Morgan line) steamers, which have
been plying between this port and
New York for many years during the
cotton shipping season, have been
withdrawn, and will ply hereafter
between New Orleans and New York,
where the Southern Pacific system
propose to concentrate their business.
These steamers during the cotton sea-
son made weekly trips, coming out
laden with merchandise for Colorado,
New Mexico, California and Old
Mexico besides interior points in
Texas, and returned laden with cot
ton, principally received on barges
from Houston. All this business here
after will find an outlet via New Or
leans. There is, however, a well
grounded rumor atioat that as soon as
Velasco has permanent railway con-
nection with the railway system OF
the state these steamers will ply be-
tween Velasco and New York, and
make the mouth of the Brazos their
port of entry on the Texas coast. These
steamers were an important adjunct
to the maritime business of this port,
and their withdrawal will be keenly
felt in commercial as well as labor
circles

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
A Mexican Falls from the Railroad Bridge
and Receives Fatal Injuries.

Cisco Dablia, a thrifty Mexican labo-
rer living across the river, met with
an accident early in the morning,
which will probably cost him his life.
Dablia comes to his work in the
city and returns over the long trestle
of the International and Great North
ern railroad. In crossing the bridge,
being late, he did not use his accus-
toned precaution and had only gone
short distance when his foot slipped
and he fell to the ground, a distance
of some fifteen feet. He was knocked
insensible, his left arm was broken,
and he was injured internally. He
was found about noon and taken to
the home of his brother-in-law on
San Jacinto street. Medical aid was
given him as soon as possible, and
about noon yesterday DIR. Lewright
performed an operation which some
what relieved the sufferer, but there
are but little hopes for his recovery.
