Western Rsilroads Refuse to Grant Coms
 mander-ln-Chief Clarkson's Request.
 CHICAGO, April v24--Some time ago the western roads had before them the question of reduced rates for the Grand Army encampment, to be held at Buff falo next September. They agreed up on one-way rate for the round trip to the eastern gatcways of the vest ern roads, to be added to the one cent per mile rate made by the roads east thereof to Buffalo. This r.>te did not suit the Grard Army men, and Gen. Clarkson, us com mander.in-chief, asked the western roads to reconsider their action and make one cent per uile rate. The western roads had this request under yesterday. They refused to make lower than one-way rate, and the only concession they would make in their former arrangements was to grant an extension of the re- turn limits to the same basis as has been adopted by the roads east of Chi cago.

Corpus Caller, 26.
A HERALD representative this
morning had an interesting CONVEX
sation with John 7. Smith, the gen
tleman who is here for the purpose
of ascertaining the practicability of
putting III a system of waterworks
and electric lights in Brownsville.
Mr.. Smith represents one of the lead
ing companies of the South, among
the members being some we'll known
capitalists. Mr.. Smith, who resides
at Austin, is civil engineer of re-
pute, being member of the Junios
American Society of civil engineers.
He brings excellent recommends
tions, and has put in a number of
waterworks ana electric light plants
in Texas. The waterworks system
at Palestine, Texas, was put in by
his company, casting $4,000. His
mission in Brownsville is TO learn
what patronage could be relied upon
for waterworks and electric light
system here; and he SAYS he will not
recommend the erection of plant by
his company unless fully assured ,,
that it would be a good investment.
So far, he has been encouraged By
the friendly attitude of our city aus
thorities towards such an enterprise,
anu has received the assurance Of
liberal patronage from the mayor !
and leading citizens of Matamoros. |
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Smith
may receive sufficient encourage
ment to assure the Inauguration of
waterworks aud electric light sys-
tenn here, as both improvements are
very much needed and would be Of
inesfimabIe advantage to our eiti-
Gems.
