enjoining the present management
and placing the affairs of the associ.

state district court today. The de-
PENDANTS filed their answer in which
they disclaimed in toto the allega-
tions of fraud, mismanagement, etc.,
in the conduct of the business affairs

.insolvent as set forth in the
plaintiffs petition. They also
filed demurrer in which they asked
that the case be dismissed. This was
set aside by the court and the case

in the case.
The plaintiff, j. M. Deibler, was
then placed on the stand and began
his testimony, which was in the main
corroborative of the allegations set
forth in his petition. He had not con-
cluded his evidence when the hour of
came and will resume
the stand on Monday.
The officers and directors of the as
ISOLATION are all here and also num-
Der of stockholders, all of whom will
testify as to the soundness, solvency
and good business conduct of the as
ISOLATION. The case will occupy the
of the court for the greater
part of the coming week, and in the
opinion of leading lawyers, it will re.
suit in complete vindication of the
association.

What Antoine Found in the Coal.

1t was a queer find, that of Antoine
Hagenlocker, and none can blame him
for being surprised. Antoine is an en-.
gineer i'll the employ of the Ansonia
Brass and Copper company, and as he
placed an extra large lump of soft coal
under the boiler he had no thoughts Of
what that lump of coal contained. A
few minutes later he opened the furnace
door again, and what was his surprise to
seej, the furnace a handsome plant re.
gambling a species of cactus! 1t was
fright red from the heat, every vein in
The leaves being defined. He carefully
removed it from the furnace without
breaking, and when it cooled it turned
to a dull gray color.
1t rests on base of coal and then
stands out well defined petrified plant,
but not carbonized, so that it burned as
readily as did the coal surrounding it.
He has shown the formation to many,
and nothing like it has ever been seen
here. The stalk of the plant where cut
from the parent stem is well defined.
Mr.. Hagenlocker is to have it mounted
and placed under glass case.-Water.

THE COMMISSION CASE.
WHAT 1T COSTS TO BUILD RAILROADS
IN TEXAS.
The Examination at Galveston Closed Yes
terday and Expert Testimony Indicates
That Certain Texas Politicians Are
Either Knaves or Fools.

GALVESTON, Oct. 5.--The taking OF
testimony in the state railroad COM
mission case was concluded tonight
Much important evidence has been
elected. The testimony of the various
general freight agents and auditors
emphatically corroborated the aft.
davits read in the hearing in chambers
before United States circuit Judge
Mccormick and upon which his de.
cision was predicated.
The evidence of Vice. President Geo.
Sealey of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe, and a number of civil engineers
was particularly important as it fully
con trOverted the claim of politicians
that railroads can be built in Texas
for $4,000 per mile. 1t was shown
from carefully prepared estimates that
to duplicate the railroads in all sub
stantials at the present day would
cost $4,000 per mile at the present
prices of material and labor. ALI
were agreed that when constructed
these railroads cost double that
amount or over $4,000 and prices of
labor and material then and now were
given to substantiate their state
ments. Steel rails, for Instance,
now cost from $50 to $37 per
ton while when the roads were
constructed iron rails cost from
800 to $l10 per ton and other items of
cost of construction were in like
proportion except right of way and
depot grounds. These estimates did
not include anything for loss of inter-
est on money invested until the roads
were completed and in operation,
which is estimated at $4,000 per mile.
They also testified that parallel rail-
road which would cost $4,000 per
mile would not, when completed, be
as good and as valuable as those now
existing, because it takes time for
roadbeds to settle, to be repaired,
widened, ETC., at considerable expense
before they reach the security of an
old road. This evidence will be used
in the trial of the case n it's merits
before United States Judge Maxey al
Austin shortly.

Shares Lost in Transit.

Shares Lost in Transit.
Special to The Statesman.
GALVESTON, Oct. 5.-Late this even.
ing w. Goodrich Jones, president OF
the Temple National bank of Temple,
Texas, filed mandamus suit in the
state district court against the First
National bank of this city for the issu-
ance Of seventy shares of stock of said
bank, valued at $4,000. Petitioner
alleges that on April Is, 1891, he gave
his prOmissory notes for loan of
$1,000, payable to the order of the
Temple National bank, due at thirty
days, to which said seventy shares of
First National bank were attached
as security and forwarded by the
national bank of New York city for
discount for account of Temple Nation
al bank for which he is president.
This note at maturity was paid and
in the transmission of said note and
bank shares by express from the Ma
tionaI City Bank of New York to the
Temple National bank they were lost
or destroyed without the fault of the
petitioner or holder thereof and furth-
er alleges that he is still the owner of
the shares and never has otherwise
parted with the same or any right
thereto. He therefore prays the court
for a mandamus to compel the First
National bank of this city to issue him
duplicate shares to the number and
value ofthose lost or destroyed in
transmission or pay him their value,
which was SIC, 900.

A Remarkable Wedding Dress.

When Mile. Morosow, of Russia, mar
ried some few months ago, her fathers
friends and pupils devised a wonderful
gift for the beautiful young girl. 1t
consisted of probably the most remark
able wedding dress ever made. The
foundation was of white satin and cov-
cred with small paintings, all in minia-
ture, of allegorical subjects dealing
with love and matrimony. This gar
ment has been very carefully preserved
and would prove an addition to any art
gallery, as it comprises the work of the
most celebrated Russian artists.-Pitts-

All meaner praises waving. that you might
In civic duty spend your heat and light

Refusing posts men grovel to attain.

To heighten praise with but Good Citizen9
But praise can harm not who so calmly met
SANDERS worst word, nor treasured up tn

Knowing, what all experience serves to show.
No mud can soil us but the mud we throw.
You have heard harsher voices and more loud
AS all must, not sworn liegemen of the crowd
And far aloof your silent mind could keep,

The perfect moon hangs thoughtful, nor car

What hounds her lucent calm drives mad be

Extravaganza of women's Dress.

Ward McAllister, writing of extrava-
gance in the -Four Hundred, says: "The
winter of 1891 was the most extravaganza
era in women's dress that we have ever
known. The waste OF money in tea
gowns was unparalleled. Every fash
ionable woman must needs have three
or four. Their cost would buy a modest
farm. Their slippers have made the
fortune, we know, of at least one shoe
maker. The buckles to these slippers
alone cost thirty dollars pair. The i'll
visible Of womans toilet is the most
costly extravaganza. That article of Ia
dies dress which the Countess of Sails
bury has rendered immortal is special
extravaganza at the present time, cost
ing, in many cases, $3.50. A lady's opera
cloak now costs her from $500 to $500.
The most expensive luxury is dogs; &C.

that marriages still continue to take

willing to give such help. 1t is believed
that there are many bright, intelligent

that there are many women continually

These and various other duties are the
work for which the emergency bureau

The schooner Lulu lies on the ways al
Captain Hunts wharf, at the foot Of +
street, in quite dilapidated condition
her bottom scraped as though she had
been drawn across the blight, and about
a quarter of her rudder missing. 1t all
happened in this way:
The evening of July 10 Captain Ed
Burke was at the wheel, sailing north
ward under a stiff breeze. The vessel is
of five tons burden and was loaded with
AZ tons of fish. He was just off Point
Canovas, $50 miles south, and was home
ward bound. All at once the little craft
reared up out of the water, the stem
went down into the sea, and crashing
told that something unusual had Eap
pened.
John Fitzhughes was sitting forward
near the port rail, and he went over
board head first, but in his descent hi
grabbed loose line that hung over hi
side. The vessel next raised out ca the
water from the middle, as if forced VI
by powerful jackscrew. She went up
like flash and fell back just in time tC
right herself. Then something struck
the rudder powerful jolt, and the
tiller threw Captain Burke sprawling to
the deck. By this time Fitzhughes had
managed to climb aboard, and huge
whale, appearing to be wounded, threw
water from his spouting apparatus all
over the vessel. The monster swan
rapidly away, spouting at irregular but
frequent intervals, and the two salts got
on their knees and offered up thanks foi
their safe delivery.-Sau Diego Sun.
