proving those already in existence. The
meeting selected the following gentlemen
for that committee: A. S. Higgnbof ham,
Z. B. Scott, A. St. Clair, Jos. S. Gillespie
and E. King Crockett.
MIR. E. L. GreeVer then made motion
that the committee be directed to have the
bill provide for issuing county bonds to the
amount of one hundred thousand dollars.
This motion called forth expressions from
a number of the gentlemen present as to
how the question should be passed upon
by the people, how and by whom the
money should be disbursed, etc., and
the committee, by these expressions Of
opinion, were given a good idea as to
what the provisions of the bill should be
on those lines.
Mr.. A. S. Higginbotham offered an
amendment to Mr.. Greever's motion to
fix the sum at one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. The amendment
was accepted by Mr.. Greever,
and the motion as amended was adopted.
Mr.. A. S. HigginbOtham then offered

mou.ly adopted:

\ FL Psso. Tex, March 8.-Tbe relief
train conveying the dead. dying and iu-

Said prominent New Yorker, who re-
fused to give his name:
s'The back coaches were not turned over
and that is all that saved us who were
fortunate enough to be riding in the Pull
man. They ripped slightly, but remained
ON the track. Otherwise, had we not been
killed, we would have been cremated'

that the exact number of dead will neve
be ascertained; nearly every passenger OF
the train was asleep when the accident oc

On the night of the 9Th inst. the stores
of A. X. Debusk and j. P. Herndon, at

derstood that the strikes will be for higher
