Rome, Nov 1S.-Thc earthquake in
Sicily and Southern Italy caused con
siderable damage to the telegraph lines

PRACTICALLY WIPED OUT,
Is the Western Passenger Association,
Caused by Withdrawals.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-The Western Pas
senger association as it has existed up to
the present time was practically wiped out
of existence today when the Rock Island,
Alton and Missouri Pacific gave notice of
withdrawal from the association. The
Passenger association has been for some
time in very bad shape, much dissatis-
faction existing among the members. The
collapse has been looked for as likely to
come ut any time, but the present diff
Guilty will without doubt result in reor-
ganization on the new lines, and with
some of the features which have proved
Objectionable eliminated. The reason
given by the Rock Island for it's with
drawal is that under the association agree
ment it has found itself unable to meet
the competition of strong outside lines,
which being out of the association were
so enabled to manipulate their rates as
to take much business away from the
Rock Island The reasons given by the
Alton and Missouri Pacific are similar.
All roads which have pulled out of the
main association have signified their in
tentiOn of remaining in the emigrant
agreement, and that will 90 on as hereto
fore. The lines which still remain in the
association, realizing that it is useless for
them to carry on the association with
these powerful lines on the outside, have
asked Chairman Caldwell to call a meet
ing of all association lines for next Mon
day. and at this meeting efforts will be
made to reOrganize the association. The
meeting will be attended by all the lines
which have just withdrawn and by those
on the outside as well. There is no feel
ing that the association should be discon-
tinued, but it should have another and
similar agreement. There is some talk
of making one association sufficiently
large to include all the Western lines, and
the trans-cOntinental lines as well. The
AtchisOn. which has large interests both
in the Western Passenger association and
the transcontinental as well, is inclined to
favor this latter plan. If such an asso-
citation is formed it will be maintained by
the two committees. and the entire thing
will be put under the control of Chair
man Caldwell, whose management of
the present association under adverse
circumstances has given satisfaction to
all the lines interested.

wound up their affairs yesterday morn
ing by swearing in the newly elected
county court. The bond of County Judge
McFall was fixed at $1,000. The bond
given by him was approved. The newly
elected county commissioners also quail
fled and the court adjourned until II
o'clock noon. At that hour it recon
vened. The old court retired and Judge
McFall and Commissioners u. p. Jour
dan of precinct No. 1, G. ,Colvin of pre-
cinct No. ., Sidney Nolen of precinct
No. g. and Gus Emmert of precinct No.
The bond of Ham NJ. Metz, tax col
lector, was approved.
G.. Colvin was unanimously elected
chairman pro tenn.
Action on the applications for appoint
ment to various positions was deferred
until next Monday.
The court thereupon adjourned until
Wednesday morning. There is some dis
cussion among the commissioners as to
whether they can take up discussion
of the road question at tomorrow's meet
ing. According to law the road matters
should have been discussed at the meet
ing yesterday week, and as 1t did not
come I'D then and there was no adjourn
ed session pending the discussion, there
is some doubt as to whether they can
take it up tomorrow. The matter is pc
ing looked into however and the commls-
sioners will know by tomorrow. The
matter is inclined towards red tape bus
mess, but if it is law it must stand.

WEEPING AND WAILING.
THE COMPTROLLER'S CLERKS
RECEIVED BAD NEWS
YESTERDAY.
The Candidates For Appointments Hay
ing Been Made Aware of Culber-
sons Absence Are Leaving.
Some Applications to Be
Considered.

When the porters of the comptrol-
ler's Office brought up the bags OF mail
yesterday morning there was found a
number of letters in the pouch bearing IN
| the left hand corner of the envelope the
name of r. w. Finley. These letters
were distributed to the respective parties
that they were addressed to and Il horrl-
BILE stiffness fell over the entire depart
ment. In very few minutes, however,
a heart-rending wall was heard from
one section of the department and upon
hurrying thither the crowd found one OF
the male clerks weeping most violently,
while he shrieked that "all was lost, all
was lost" Consolation was offered him,
but all to no purpose. While attempting
to soothe him the crowd heard a terrific
round of oaths in another section of the
department, and upon their arrival
there they found one of the clerks hold
ing very briefly written letter in his
hand, signed r. w. Finley, while he
swore rOundly at the physical represent
alive of that name. In very short
while walls and curses were heard from
every quarter of that big department,
and so great was the anguish that the
capitol police rushed into the department
in order that the sufferers might tell
them their troubles, but the sufferers
were past the consolation point and the
only relief they were able to get was in
letting their grief spend its violence
through exhaustion.
There are reasons to suspect that the
hotel registerers will Golfer reduction of
names for the next 10 days, or as soon as
office seekers learn that Mr. Cuberson
has sought a temporary escape, in seeking
which fortunately he was called away on
official business. The trains this morning
witnessed regular exodus of the return
ing army of Office seekers.
AS far as heard from there are four can
didates announced for speaker of the
house of representatives for the next term
of the legislature. Hon. Thomas S. Smith
of Hillsboro and Messrs. Cough of Collin
Mills of McLennan and Armistead of
Marion. This will prove to be an inter
esting race.
In addition to Mrs. Ryan and General
Hardeman, who are candidates for the
appointment of superintendent of public
building and grounds, the names of Capt
Billy Pitts and Capt. Ferg Kyle are men,
toned. Captain Pitts is resident of Aus
tin, and was at one time chief clerk of the
comptroller's office, and also at one time
q candidate for comptroller. Captain
Kyle is a prominent citizen of Hays
county, and very popular.
1t has been intimated that Governor
elect Culberson would prefer if possible
that the superintendent would be man
with some acquaintance with architecture
and landscape gardening with all the
other requirements that are necessary to
qualify one for the duties of that station.

A SENSATION,
a Physician Says Riordan's Death Was
Probably Caused by the Autopsy.

indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 1S.-The Sen
final tomorrow will publish an interview
with DIR. Tanner, physician who has
given much study to physiological sub
jects, in which the declaration is made
that Riordan was probably killed by the
physician who made the autopsy. DIR.
Tanner condemns their action and makes
the assertion that they violated the law
in New York in holding an autopsy in less
than l. hours after the supposed death
and without the consent of the relatives of
the deceased The doctor is of the opinion
that Riordan was in state of suspended
animation at the time of the autopsy. He
condemns the physicians for not making
all the approved scientific tests of death
before applying the scalpel. The suspen-
sion of respiration, he asserts, was the
only indication of death, and this, the doc
tor holds, is by no means positive.

WESTERN PASSENGER Assault
ALTON.
It's Disruption Immincnt-A Cut in Texas
Rates Looked For.

Kansas City, Nov. 1S:-The Journal
tom"rrow will say: "When Chairman
Caldwell of the Western Passenger as
sociation opens his mail in Chicago Mon
dov morning he will find notice OF with
dr9wal from General Passenger Agent
Townsend of the Missouri Pacific. AT
least it is positive that such a notice,
effectieve Nov. 20, was mailed TO MI
Caldwell late Saturday night. Inc nc
ton of the Missouri Pacific practlcaliy
dissolyes the Western Passenger associ-
alton. which has been effective under
its present agreement for about year
and half. The Union Pacific, Santa re
and Alton have already withdrawn, but
thcy have always held themselves sub
iect to all the reasonable rulings OF the
association, and have rarely given the
trouble that might have been expected
of aliens. Various causes might be as
signed for the action of the Missouri Pa,
cific. The chief is that rates i'll general
have been demoralized, and especially
to the southwest of the Pacihc coast.
In the former direction blame is likely to
fall upon the Missouri, Kansas ana
Texas an alien line which is said to have
been Strengthening Texas rates. AS 1t
il known the Pacific coast situation has
been seriously affected by the action OIL
the Canadian basis, because 1t was not
subject to association restraint. There
has also been good deal of feeling about
East st. Louis rates, and it is not I'M
probable that the situation there was the
immediate cause of the Missouri Paciiic's
withdrawal. 1t would not be at all sur
prising, the Journal continues, if the
breaking of the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION, which seems probable at this
time, will precipitate a general passenger
rate war The Rock Island will surely
file notice of withdrawal at once, if the
it does, it will doubtless retaliate on the
Missouri Kansas and Texas in the mat
ter of Texas rates.

time of the death of Peter the Great,
imperial heralds paraded through the city
