December has been closed, it looks as if
there might be decidedly animated
struggle for control OF the prop
erty East Tennessee and Cen
tral Georgia people, while ostensibly in har-
mony with the Inman faction, are by many
suspected of hostility, and the very gen
eral impression prevails that the opposi-
ton of the .'outs" is rapidly crystalizing
into vigorously practical form. The in
terests involved in Richmond Terminal sys-
TEN all had lively time of il yesterday.
1t was made very evident
early in the day, in and around Wall street,
that there was an unusual stir among the
officials of the Terminal company. eau
cuses convened at half dozen points,
where plans of campaign were arranged for
use at the general meeting of the directors,
which took place in the afternoon,
and was attended by Sidney Dillon,
George j. Gould. John G. Moore.
Samuel Thomas, John II. Inman and a
complete directorate. All interests were
represented and it is safe to say that the
affairs of the mysteriously complicated sys-
TEN were sharply discussed. What actually
did occur behind the tightly closed and
guarded doors of John II. Inman's Office,
where the conference was held, remains as
yet a secret. All that could be
learned from the reticent participants was
that the conference, an informal one, by the
way, had resulted IN no DEFINITE actlon OF
any kind whatever, and that it would
be continued to-day. 1t is believed,
however, that the annual re-
port was read and approved at
yesterdays meeting. Although the Rich
moud Terminal concern is undoubtedly
in bad way, there will, nevertheless, be
rich pickings upon its bones for whoever
controls its vast system. This, perhaps not
altogether unpleasant, duty will devolve on
the board of directors to be elected next
month.

A. M. E. CONFERENCE.
The Central Texas Conference in Session
at Austin, Bishop Grant
Presiding.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, Nov. 25.-The Central
Texas conference of the African Methodist
church met here to-day, Bishop Grant pre-
siding and Rev. G. 0. Mitchell acting as
secretary The colored conference is mod
eled after that of the white NIethodists,
even to the practice Of moving preachers
periodically to different charges.
The agent of the American bible society,
Rev. w. B. Rankin, was present distribut-
ing circulars among the members.
The preachers when called on made re-
ports of their stewardshipS, many of them
being of rather discouraging nature as to
finances. Some few showed a healthy con-
dition, but the number was small. What is
called dollar money! or dollar contribu-
tions from individuals, was shown to fall con-
siderably behind. The brethren in many in
stances were very remiss in supporting
their pastors, one of whom got only So, and
another SS5 year. Several claimed to get
less than 800, and We're forced to scratch
for a living in any way they could be found.
Bishop Grant, in his annual address to
the colored Methodist conference, stated
that there was man organizing the negroes
in bodies to leave Texas on account of the
separate coach law for fear things may be
worse for the colored people. He hoped
for the better, however, since Governor
Hogg had the, badk bone to issue his pro$la-
nation Offering $1,000 reward for thslfon-
viction of tie MGrderers OF negro. sfE

GALVESTON, TEX, Nov. a5.-Two suits
were filed to-day for heavy damages against

pany by two employees. Dennis Ahearn,

while engaged in cleaning the flies off the
carding machine while it was in motion, he
got his arm entangled in themachinery, sew
ering several of his fingers and injuring his
arm so as to render it useless. This he
claims was due to the criminal carelessness
of the company and asks the court to allow
him $500 for the injury he has sustained.
Charles Peterson, another employee wants
the court to allow him damages against the
same company in the sum of $40 900 for get
ting his arm caught in the cotton bat-mak-

skILLFuL CHICKEN STEALING.
Species OF Robbery Quito Prevalent at
tho National Capital.


Eyes, this is n good season of the
year for chicken thieves" echoed Dc
teetivc Block the other day, when
Washington Star reporter spoke to him
about that class of criminals. "But,"
he addcd, ''thcrc haven't bccn so many
cases of chicken stealing lately as there
used to be. Reports of that particular
sort Of stealing arc few and far be-
tween. Now and then, however, threc
or four jobs ere done in as many nights,
and then nothing t. heard from the
chicken man for n long tI:c1c. This is
just the time of the. year. for them to
operate, but this year there seems to be
scarcity of such thieves or else chick
ems arc not SO plentiful. Those who
arc called chicken thieves do not con-
fine themselves to robbing chicken
houses, but they steal all sorts of fowls,
turkeys, ducks or chickens. And,
strange to say, this class of Offenders
coafinc their stealing chiefly to fowls.
Seldom do they steal other articles, and
very few of them, indeed, are all-round
thieves"
"llow do they manage to rob house
OF all its fowls without making noise
enough to rouse the owner of tho
fowls?" the reporter inquired.
Easy enough" was the reply. "To
use their language, they charm the
fowls before they attempt to leave
the premises with them, even if their
heads have to be tAllcn Off. The thieves
who arc classed among tho good ones,
or those who thoroughly understand
their business, seldom take away q live
oh oil
very small Sometimes" continued the
detective, ''thc thieves use sulphur to
stranglc the fowls with, md it acts like
n charm. They use box of bluc-hcadcd
matches, which they dampcn and rub
against their hand SO that the fumes Of
sulphur that arise get into the lungs of
the fowls and prevent them from crow
ing or cacllling or giving any alarm
whatever. Then the burglar stretches
in his arm and collects his fowls one by
one.
Everybody" said the detective,
cant steal chickens. There seems to
be soLac peculiar qualifications ucccs-
sary to mako man an expert at the
business. An expert thief knows well
the necessity of always keeping q pot of
scalding water on the stove at home, SO
that when he returns with the Dlundcr
he can get the feathers off them and
prepare them for market as soon as
possible. Then he knows that the means
of Identification have been destroyed
Often when such robbery has been
committed early in the morning tho
chickens are on bench in the market
before they are cold.
MANY q night on my tour through
the city / have smclled smoke from
burning feathers and been satisfied the
feathers were picked from stolen fowls
and were being burned to destroy their
value as evidence"
