Mir. e. l.. Corthell, the engineer who was
an assistant OF Eads IN his jetty works and
the ST. Louis bridge construction and aub-
sequently employed by Mr.. Huntington in
the Santa Monica harbor matter in Calf
fornia, is here laboring to induce congress
TO purchase the Farwel syndicate har-
Dor at Velasco. at the mouth OF the Brazos
river.
Ii appears that the commission appoint
ed by President Cleveland has reported in
preference to Galveston or Aransas Pass,
and it is stated that by the expenditure of
about $780, 900 depth OF eighteen or
twenty feet can be obtained at Velasco
without difficulty.
The Farwell Chicago syndicate offers to
give the government a thousand feet Of
water front in addition to the harbor IL the
government would pay them 100000 for
the work done and plant erected.
The senate committee is divided on the
proposition, some favoring condemnation
proceedings and take the property by that
process, while others advocate a fair pay
ment to the syndicate
Nothing can be accomplished at the pres
ent congress, but the matter Will he
pressed at the ensuing session. the chances
being that some arrangement VIII be con
summated by which the government VIII

Wanted for "T'nIsinE stock"

Dallas, Texas, February 26.--A card bear
ing the words CLOSED, taking stock"
hangs in front Of the door of No. 3,4 Elm
street which was occupied until last We'd
ncsday by the shoe firm of ID. NJ. Hickman
& Co. Between the close of business Tues ..
day and early Wednesday morning nifty
three eases OF shoes were quietly boxed up
behind the closed doors and az quietly haul
ed to the Santa Fe depot and placed in n
car consigned to u. NJ. Nicholson. st.
Louis" d. NJ. Hickman. the proprietor.
also left the same morning on Santa Fe
train But for the fact that he failed to
pay the men engaged to haul the goods to
the depot the boxes would probably have
passed out OF the state and reached the
conslgnee In safety. The draymen pre-
vented this in time for Thos. r. McEnnis
TO get out an attachment for the goods
and have them carted back TO tho store,
where they are being held in the interest OF
creditors.
The affair was kept secret until today In
order to give the authorities an opportunity
TO capture Hackman. This had not been
done up to tonight. Hickman came here
from Kansas City, Mo. about two years
ago, and has since conducted a swell shoe
establishment.
