THE. COLD WAVE.
The First Norther of the Season Visited
Us Yesterday.

1t is not the truth, but fiction in the
guise of truth, which causes most OF the
worriment in life. And this was the
Trouble il Austin yesterday. 1t was not
SO very old, but it was decided change
from OF previous weather, and for that
reason the good people thought all the Ills Is
had s ;ooped down on them at one fell
swoob. A miniature blue norther came
galloping down by the University. about
dusk Sunday afternoon, and having al
night to accumulate around the streets
of the Capital City, the mercury was nod-
ding at early risers yesterday morning
from below the 20 mark. The average
citizen was filled with supreme disgust,
as well as quite number OF shlvers'
g4ast spring they ''let'' their overcoat-
well. it doesn't matter to whom-and yes
terday morning they realized fully tne
necessity of having an overcoat, just 10
. be in the style. AS they had none, how
ever they took the situation as 1t was
and walked around with blue noses ana
\ cold fingers and said it was fine weather;
4 Those who had overcoats promptly pulled
them out and the result was that the
atmosphere was heavily laden with
camphor yesterday morning. The cod
wave seemed to have been general

MIR. ii. II. Williams, steward of the
asylum, when asked about the matter

lum managers were thinking seriously of
sending him homel That he was con-
stantly annoying the other pupils by pill
ferlng from them, and that he was a de-
cidedly unrnlly urchin in every particnlar.

The New York Commercial says:
"Since Jim Fisk made his famous run
from New York to Chicago, a quarter of
a century ago, the running time between
the two cities has been gradually but
steadily decreased. Yesterday the EN-

to New York in II IL hours. Accord
ing to the reports, there was no particu-

mile a minute, and one part of the run,
a distance of Sc miles, was covered at

THE COMMISSION MEETING.

n AS per notice recently given to that
Affect the railroad commission met yes
terday morning for the purpose OF near
inc from parties at interest in the matter
of merchandise and cotton rates from
Galveston and Houston to intermediate
points on the Southern Pacific and Aran-
sas Pass railways. Commissioner Dem,
son of the Galveston Freight buerau and
General Freight Agent Jones of the
Houston and Texas Central were the only
parties present to take part in the discus
sion. Mr.. Denison contended that the
rates on merchandise and cotton from
Galveston and Houston to interior points
ON the Southern Pacific and Arkansas
Pass railways should not be higher than
the rate to Corpus Christi and Port La
yaca plus the local to points or destlna-
ton. He said that the roads reduced
their rates to meet water competition ana
destroy it, and then put them up again
maintaining q sort of a see-saW tarlH.
Mr.. Jones said the roads had no objection
to shippers taking advantage OF water
Transportation to Corpus Christi and Port
Layaea and reshipping at these points,
but objected to basing the all.rall route
ION the water rate, as according to ms
1Ntion water competition was very large
A imaginative. The discussion was very
ADfief, and consisted of a few statements
E9S outlined aDOye, ana lne cohhihio'ioii
. fomised to dispose of the matter at an
early date, Mr.. Jones remarking, how
aver. that there need be no hurry insofar
as his roads were concerned.
kTrafic Manager Martin of the Arkansas
Pass appeared before the commission last
sfternoon and explained that the low
tates in effect from Galveston and Hous-
On to Corpus Christi were caused by
vater competition, and objected to put;
ing on rates to intermediate points based
bon the rates to Port Lavaca and Cor-
i,s Christi. He held that the adoption
MIR. Denison's proposition would neces-
State the recognition of the right on the
part of the railroad to give up the Cor
BUS Christi business by abandoning the
competitive tariff, which would not bene-
fit intermediate points, while it would in
lure Corpus Christi.

During the recess District Attorney
Graham INDUCED in a little chat. He
said if the case continued to drag along
as it has thus far it would beat the rec
ord of the Durrant case for consuming
time. The commonwealth has fifty-four
or fifty-fve witnesses yet to examine,
and nobody seems to know what sensation
Holmes will spring when it comes to the
opening of the defense.
However, the district attorney does not
intend to unduly hurry the case, although
he thinks the night sessions will obviate
the possibility of the case extending over
more than two weeks or thereabouts.
