Assets, 100000; liabilities, 100000.
The failure was caused by the refusal
of the insurance companies to settle the

structlon of their establishment two
years ago. This was coupled with dis
astrous overfOWs on their plantations
and poor business this fall. The i'm

Light Business on Michigan Central Since
the jackson Disaster.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2O.--Through pnssen-
ger traffic between the west and the
east over the Michigan Central road
has sustained q paralytic stroke rs q re-
suit of the recent horror at jackson,
Mich. The Lake Shore and other east
bound roads have been overwhelmed
with traffic during the pastweek. while
reports from the east say that pnssen-
gers from points convcning ut Buffalo
are willing to go to extra expense and
to avail themselves of slow trains
rather than to risk life and limb on the
Michigan Central. In railroad as we'll
as in travelling circles the disaster is
commented upon as one of the most in
excusable in the recent history of rail-
road management. That train
lying in the depot OF n
city of goodly size in order
that the passengers might be enabled
to secure breakfast should be run
into by Il second section, the crew of
which was supposed to have been fore
warned and consequently fully aware
of the existing conditions, is COM
mented upon by railroad people as bor-
dering on the extraordinary. OF all
the railroad accidents Of the worlds
fair the one in question is regarded
among railroad men as the most mex
cusable, and us this sentiment extends
to the general public it is little wonder
that the through traffic OF the road has
dropped to a nominal figure Old rail-
road men say that it will take years to
restore confidence in this highway OF
transportation, while the stockholders
find little consolation in the fact that
the Immediate cost to the road of the
tragedy will foot up in the neighbor-
hood of half million dollars.

A Fight on Between the Texas Midland and
Texas Centra'.
TERRELL, Tex, Oct GA cotton
rate war is on between the Texas Mid
and and the Houston and Texas Gem
trail, which connects with the Midland
at Garrett. The fight was provoked by
President Green of the Midland, who
made bid forcotton at Ennis, town
three miles from Garrett, which is not
reached by the Midland, but is on the
line of the Central. The Ennis parties
accepted Green's offer, and are carting
it over to Garrett at green's expense,
where it is loaded on Midland cars ard
thence to this place and thence over
the Texas and Pacific to the cotton
centers. AS soon as the Central learned
of this they telegraphed Green: TN
aerstand your line proposes to wagon
cotton from Ennis to Garrett. If you
permit this our rates with your line
will be Cancelled Mt once and our rate
on cotton will be reduced to 80 cents. !"
To this Green replied "Will ship this
lot of cotton if 1T kills. me-
1t is hard to tell how the matter will
terminate AS it is the Midland is
very much handicapped by being cut
of from intercourse with the Central,
as the former is only short line. Par.
ties here IRE inclined to think that the
independence manifested by Mr.. Green
is an indication that the Midland is to
be extended to Paris forthwith.
