TILLMAN's DIsPENsARIEs.
The South Carolina Governor Proposes to
Enforce the New Law.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 16.-A morn
ing papers Charleston, s. c., special
avs, it looks very much as though tn e
ron hand of Governor Tillman is 60
ing to carry the dispensary law in this
state to a success. The greatest OPP
position to the law was in this city
and this has apparently entirely dis
appeared. 1t requires 75l names of
freehold voters to establish dispen-
sary. Four applicants have already
filed their petitions and before Sep.
TENDER /, there will probably be 10
state rum mills in full blast besides
200 blind. tigers that are now
running without much trouble.
Early in the month an intimation
came from the governor that he in
tended to establish dispensaries in
Charleston whether the freeholders
wanted them or not Soon after that
H. +. Meyers filed his petition with 760
names, about 200 of which were known
treeholders, the others having evil
IDENTIFY been copied from the tax books
without consulting their owners most
of them being colored people. Meyers
got his appointment, no effort being
made by any one to inquire into the
bona tideness of the signatures. Then
it leaked out that smart mulattO
lawyer was prepared to furnish names
OF colored taxpayers at 50 much per
name. Other petitions then
came in very rapidly, each
of them having signatures
of about 200 to 400 payers who never
refused to sign any petition presented
to them. The remainder are copied
from the list of colored tax payers A
blunder was made in one of their ear
lier petitions to which the lawyer
signed the name of Moses b. Saler
bishop of the African Methodist churh
This provoked a protest from the col
ored ministers OF the city, several o
whose names were also used, but the
board OF control took no notice of it.
The liquor dealers seem to have
given up the fight and make no effor
to dispute the signatures to the petit
tions, although many Of them are no
toriously bogus and citizens are too
supine to care. The governor has hi
own sweet will and Charleston is en-
tirely under the sway of the state bar
rooms and blind tigers.

Want a Convention.

TOPEKA, Aug. II. "A petition signed
by state officers and statehouse en-
ployes was forwarded to Governor
Stone of Missouri this afternoon ask
ing him to call convention of gov
errors aud delegates from each state
west of the Mississippi river and south
of Ohio. The object of the conven-
ton is to discuss what shall be done
for the mutual relief of the people, for
cultivation of commercial relations be-
tween them, and such other action as
may conduct to the material welfare
and prosperity of the commonwealth
involved, looking especially to arrange
ment of such trade relations as may
render the section free from depend
ence upon the eastern section of the
Union. Governor Stone was requested
to name an early date for the meeting,
and either New Orleans, st. Louis or
Galveston were suggested as suitable
places. The scheme originated in
Colorado, where petitions of similar
character have been numerously
signed by the people and forwarded
to Governor Stone.

EXPIRES IN A FEW DAYS.
The Contract Of the International and Gen.
trail With Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe.

Special to The Statesman.
GALVESTON, Aug. 17.-The traffic
arrangement which existed for several
years between the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific
and Houston and Texas Central rail-
ways between this city and Houston
expires on the 10Th inst. In a brief
interview with General Manager
Yoakum of the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe this evening, he stated that
on and after the 10Th the Houston ter
minal of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe would be at their Congress street
depot instead of as heretofore, the
Houston and Texas Central de-
pot. That while his company
would continue to haul the
sleepers of the Houston and Texas
Central and Southern Pacific all traffic
arrangements on and after the 10Th
would be arbitrary, i. e.: On the
basis of differentials now in force and
agreed upon by the various railways
in the Southwestern Traffic associa-
ton. Mr.. Yoakum could not say tn t
a subsequent contract would be en-
tered into by his company with the
Southern Pacific and Houston and
Texas Central similar to the one that
expires on the 10Th or not, or whether
those companies would seek to
effect arrangements with the Calves
ton, Houston and Henderson, but one
thing was certain, that after the 10Th
all business between this point and
Houston would be done on the basis
of differentials established by the
Southwestern Traffic association and
all railways not having an inlet into
and out of Galveston, but seeking
one over the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe or the Galveston, Houston and
Henderson would be placed on a
parity as to traffic rates.

pate. The hall was decorated accord

CONFIDENCE BETRAYED
REMARKABLE FAILURE OF ROBERT
KINCAID, THE KANSAS BANKER.
He Had Grown Gray in the Community

stow Upon Him, But He Robbed
Friends and Strangers Alike.

PLEAsANToN, Kan, Aug. 16-De
tails of the failure of Robert Kincaid,
banker, capitalist and merchant Of
Lynn county, have just come to light
The failure is one of the most disastrous
in the history OF the state, and Kin
caid's continued absence from his
former places of business leads cred
itors to believe it is one of the
most dishonest. Kincaid was presi-
dent of the Citizens bank of Mound
City, partner in. Hood & Kincaid's
private bank and proprietor of a gen :
eral store at this place. The liabilities
of the bank of Hood IL Kincald are
$I50,000, with assets of only $7O,OOO.
When the bank failed $3.50 cash was
found in the vaults. The indebted
ness of the Citizens bank of Mound
City is 100000, with assets not near
that amount The total Indebtedness
of the general store is $3l,SOO, WIN
only the stock as assets. Among the
creditors are 70 persons, of whom Kin,
kaid borrowed money in sums OF 500
to $4,000. Among the latter class cred
itors are nine widows. Kincald had
the confidence of the entire country,
and there were few men from whom
he did not secure money and who are
now mourning thei = losses.
