Dry Goods.


 New York July 30-The dry goods market continues to show increased frmness in both cotton and wooden goods. The feeling among buyers is a better one and those who are in the markst are inclined to be freer in their purchases and more liberal as to prices. In some lines of staple cotton advances are reported. Undsr the influence of more business confidence throughout the trade generally and announced curtail- ment in eastern mills, the market is gradually but surely working it's way back to a solid basis. First hand sellers and jobbers alike fesl more active tone to the market. That the consump- tive demand is still somewhat arrested is considered merely passing circum- stance, which will regulate itself mate rially later on.

SANTA FE AGENT HELD UP.
Masked Robbers Intimidate the OK
ford Night Agent With Revolvers-

Wellington, April 9.-News comes that
the Oxford Santa Fe night agent, War
ren Hardman, was held up and robbed
Wednesday night a little after 8 o'clock.
Homer Jester, the agent, had just left
a few minutes before for home, taking
every penny of the company's funds
with him. Hardman was alone in the
office when two men entered the wait
ing room and knocked on the office
door.
Hardman stepped to the door and
opened it. Two men with handker-
chiefs tied over their faces confrolted
him and dropped revolvers on him.
They ordered him to open the safe,
which he did the more readily because
he knew there was nothing of value in
it.
The highwayman then relieved him of
his gold watch, a revolver and what
money he had in his pocket, some 81.
After showing and cutting him about
for not having more booty for them,
the robbers marched him out nearly to
the elevator west of the depot and
there left him and disappeared.

Galveston, April 9.-Yesterday the Texas
railway commission approved the issu-
ance of S250.O00 in bonds by the Gulf and
Interstate railway, constructed and in
operation between Port BoHver and Bru-
mont the lumber center of Southeast
Texas. This issue of bonds will enable
the company to thoroughly equip its road
improve and provide adequate terminal
facilities at Port Boliver where they own
1900 feet of water front on BOlVer chan
mel
The aggregate bond issue of this rail-
way is 5000 per mile, the lowest in
cumbrance upon any railroad in Texas.
The road traverses one of the richest sec
tions of the coast country. susceptible to
a high state of cultivation and at Bru-
mont taps the railway systems of east
and southeast Texas and affords an out
let to the Gulf for the vast lumber pro-
duct of that section of the state to the
markets of the world.

were the only outward evidences of
the accident, although a tWinge of pain
would occasionally be seen to sweep
across his face. His limbs were also
bandaged in several places where he
received slight bruises.
His time while in Jacksonville was
spent quietly at the railway station.

LINooLN's SPECIAL CAR.
Famous Relic Going to Pieces in an
Omaha Car Shop.

Omaha, April 9.-In an obscure COR
ner of the yards of the Union Pacific
car shops in Omaha, in a dilapitated
and abandoned condition, stands a tru-
ly historic relic known as the Lincoln
car" Its sides are cracked and wealth
er-beaten, and the glass in its windows
and the brass ratings on its platforms
are long ago gone. All the cOmpart-
ments and sumptuous interior furnish
ingS and decorations have been remOv-
ed, and it stands like a barren. decay
ing hulk of its once proud self From
it's former prominent association with
President Lincoln, both during the later
years of his life and then after his
death, it would seem the car deserves
a better fate than to rot in neglect and
obscurity This car was built especial
ly for Mr.. Lincoln in the United States
military car shops at Alexandria, Va.
in 1864, by B. p. LamaSOn, master car
builder, and was certainly one OF the
handsOmest private railway coaches in
it's day 1t was used by the president
repeatedly in his visits to the army Of
the Potomac down in Virginia, and al
so to New York and Philadelphia.
The Lincoln car is AZ feet long by S1s
feet wide, and during the time Mr.. Lin
coin used it was divided into three
compartments. 1t was euEered by a
door which opened into a narrow pas
sageWay, extending the entire length OF
the car along one side.
From the passageway doors opened
into each one of the three private
rooms. The room in one end of the car
was considerably larger than the 9TH
somewhat inferior to those in the small
sofa and reclining chairs, although
somewhat Inferior to those in the large
er room. This larger compartment con-
stituted President Iincoln's Office and
study, and was where he entertained
his guests and transacted business with
officials OF the government and gener-
ais of the army The sofa is a combi-
nation affair and was made of unusual
length to accommodate the elongated
form Of the president. It was used as
a sofa or lounge during the day and at
night could be adjusted into a double
bed.

I notice by papers that you are sued
for $50 900. AS one of your bondsmen,
it would be a little inconvenient for me
to pay anything just now or until we
get our hogs fat. Ask them to wait q
little while before they lock you up
or come out here to collect $40, 900.
But, seriously, stay with them. They
should be made to come to time, and ]

more to frighten your bondsmen and
thus bother you than for any other
