the public against their injustice.

bate contribute to make the investor and
the bank manager Gistrustful. The air is
filed with the clamor of controversy. Can
the average bank manager feel easy under
such circumstance! He may not be able to
may not be able to make up his mind one
way or the other as to what the ultimate
results may be, but the uncertainty he is in
will have the inevitable effect of making
him cautious. He thinks that come what
may. when the waters appear so troubled,
it is best too keep near shore, hence he de-
clines to tie up his funds and will not let
them go out on time. He will lend
freely only on call. He is especially disin-
clined at this period to let his money get
out OF reach, for the country has just en-
tered on the period when the bank reserves
run down under the Western dram. Dur
ing this month and the next the surplus
reserve is likely to be drawn down to the
vanishing point. It is argued that the real
strain of the loss of gold and the effects of
the silver agitation must make itself felt
between now and the next meeting of con-
gress The fight for free coinage is ex-
pected to begin as soon as il meets, and
with reserves everywhere drained by the
crop movement, there may be great con-
traction of the currency if people take
alarm at the prospect of the passage OF a
free coinage bill and go to boarding gold.

Texas Trunk Railway.
Correspondence of the Gazette.

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
ATHENS, HENDERSON COUNTY, TEX,
Aug. n.-Interest seems just now to center
in the reported coming of the Texas Trunk
railroad. 1t is said that the railroad king,
G. p. Huntington, has bought the road and
if so it is certain he has not bought it to
stand idle. Dame Rumor has it that he will
extend the road TO Beaumont via New Bir-
mingham. Athens is on the direct line and it
is believed will be made the point of cross
ing the Cotton Belt. In the event that these
things are true, Athens will begin to forge
ahead. 1t is now one of the most solid of
the smaller towns of Texas, and situated
an equal distance from Tyler and Corsi-
cana, in the center of one of the best farm
ing and fruit growing sections of the state,
will soon be one of the best towns. The
Trunk road built upon the proposed line
will be one of the best traffic roads in the
state. In fact it will be the lumber road of
the state: because the most direct from the
great pine region to the almost limitless
West and Northwest. Should it come it
will give increased impetus to the brick
and tile factory and the Texas pottery To-
Gated here, and the two industries COM
bined will ship from 100 to $50 carloads of
products per month. The best fire brick
(as the most ample and thorough tests in the
furnaces at Rusk have demonstrated) are
made here. ana the iugware made here by
the processes now in use, is pronounced by
experts TO be fully equal, if not superior, to
any made in the United States.

AN ABLE OFFICIAL.
Something Concerning John A. Grant and
His Relations with Law Gould


His Relations with Jay Gould.
The Memphis Commercial says: The ru-
NOR published in Sundays Commercial, to
the effect that John A. Grant, general man.
ager of the Texas and Pacific road, is to ac-
cept the position of chief engineer of all the
Gould lines, was read with no little interest
by the railway men of Memphis, many of
the officials here being personally ac-
quainted with him. Mr.. Grant several
years ago was located here as general su-
perintendent of the Memphis and Charles
ton road. He was also identified with the
Louisville, New Orleans and Texas for a
time and constructed the principal part of
that line. He displayed rare executive
ability, and his ability as a manager at
tracted the attention of Gould, who took
him up and has since taken great interest
in his advancement 1t is related that not
a great while ago Mr. Gould telegraphed
Mr.. Grant to come TO New York as he de-
sired to hold conference with him in re-
gard to the road. Mr.. Grant is man of
strong character and few words, but he was
not prepared to obey Mr.. Gould's dictates
Just at that time being exceptionally busy,
so he sent Mr. Gould the following answer
by wire:
DALLAS, TEX.,-Mr. Gould: am very
| busy just now. If you wish to confer with
me cometo Texas. JOHN a. GRANT.
1t is said that this is the first time that
the great railway magnate was ever known
to be called down by one Of his SuDordl-
mates, and that he appreciated the invita-
ton so greatly, recognizing what sort OF a
man Mr. Grant is, that it has been one OF
the things taken into consideration in the
proposed promotion.

paying a fine of $3.50 for violation OF the oc-
cupation tax who was. over-hauled and
brought back from Dodge City, Kan, few

amount 10 about $500, and the compensation
allowed is 20 cents day with Sunday and

several months viii pass before Upham will
have chance to display his powers in the
ring again
