shippers OF Ignite Coal to BE Given
Hearing.

Greenville, Texas, November 21.--At a
meeting of the railroad commissioners on
November rs a hearing will be given the
shippers OF Ignite and other soft Goals
in Texas and it is understood the operators
of the Ignite mine at Alba, on the Mineola
branch of the Katy, will ask for a reduc-
ton In the present shipping rate given
them by that road They represent that
the strongest competition they have to
meet is on slack coal, which is delivered
at most Texas points at $3.50 per ton, from
mines owned and operated by the railroads.
and the latter, by fixing higher shipping
rate on the output of the Ignite mines
practically shut them out. For instance,
it is stated by the Alba company, that
the lowest rate they can get is IS cents per
ton to Fort Worth, Dallas Waxahachie
and Tyler, which in addition to the cost Of
mining runs the delivery price up TO such
a point as to almost destroy any margin
for profit.
Proceeding, the Alba company asks for
rate not exceeding so cents per ton to the
points named, and 40 cents to points under
fifty miles, suggesting that this will be a
great help and encouragement to them
In developing their mines. They also cite
the expense incurred in building spur
to the mine, and make en- the whole fair
and reasonable application for lower rate
ON Ignite coal.
Doubtless other shippers Of soft coal
are interested along the same line and
will be represented in the hearing before
the commission at Austin next Thursday.

Myers Respited.

Frank Myers, colored, who was to
hang in Georgetown to day, has an
other week of life, at least. The
Govern or yesterday granted him a
respite until next Friday Perhaps
the special reason for the respite is
one that has never occnred before
To day is Good Friday, and, as is the
custom with all devout of the .Epis
copal Church in Georgetown and
elsewhere, they attend services in the
church to-day The church happens
to be next to the Jail, and If the exc
cution was to take place to day at the
appointed time the crowds ofnegroes
and those morbidIy curious would in
terfere with the services. Mayor
Morgan wrote that under the circum
stances he thought it would be best
to postpone the execution, as he felt
certain that large crowd of negroes
would be present and it would take
an extra force of constables to pre-
serve order. Under these circum-
tances the Governor readily issued
the order for respite
As to whether Myers will eventual.
ly hang or not there is much doubt
Solicitor Wilson was in the city yes
terday, and called on the Governor
in reference to the case 1t is un-
derstood that he says it is his posi-
tive opinion that the negro is not gull
ty of the charge wholly. and the prob
abilities are that he will get a con.
mutation to life imprisonment -
