MEN or WEIGHT.

The Corpus Crony, whose edition
constituted a committee of one that
met and dined with the Detroit
railroad men at Beeville last Thurs
day, "sizes up" the party as fol-
lows:
"Of the party. S. White of
Windsor and J. J. Sparrow OF
Goliad have been previously de-
scribed. There are four nrw-com-
ers. The first is A. Ross McInnes
whose cards set out that he is SEN
Tor member of the Detroit stock
broking firm, A. Ross McInnes &
Co. He is not a fragile man. Tn
der six feet in stature, be tips the
beam at 254 lbs. He is not so great
a man, however, as his New York
er companion on this trip, c. b.
Lawrence, who hefts at go lbs.
and is not an invalid. Third on The
list is l.. r. Coddiugton Of New
York who only weighs ODD but is
not yet going into a decline, at
least he declined nothing which
went the rounds in Beeville. The
FINEST member of the party is q.
NJ. Moran of Detroit. He possesses
only 2lS lbs. of av0rdupOis and is
consequently an object of continual
solicitude from his companions who
are not so delicate. No observer
would conclude that these gentle
men are here for their health.
What they came for and what they
will do is another question. On
Thursday they went to Alice where
they expected a conference with
some of the principal land owners
along the suggested routes (there
are thirteen suggested rOutes), and
they were not certain whether they
would all continue to Brownsville
as they wished to do. Each of the
gentlemen had pleasant anticipa-
tons of visit to Corpus Christi
aud none of them impaired any in
formation in a shape tangible en-
ough to be an announcement Of
their intentions, desires, conditions
or capabilities. They are shrewd
business men. 1t would not pay
anybody here to sell them gold
bricks on commission. Lon. C. Hill !
of Beeville and DR.. h. r. Cutler
OF Corpus Christi accompanied
them from Beeville to Alice"

ACCORDING to the latest news of
the intentions of the railroad mel
who are now investigating this
section, it seems that their project
contemplates a line from Corpus
Christi to Rio Grande aud from
the latter place to Brownsville.
Although, at first glance, many of
our people night not favor such a
project, preferring that the road
should come direct to Brownsville,
yet it cannot be denied that a road
running along the Rio Grande
would be great thing, opening
tsPRas. richest valley in thus com
try to development. Some Of our
citizens believe that such line
would be even better than Que
coming direct to Brownsville and
most of us WOULD be ouly too
happy to have the road come IN
any old way it pleases, just 50 il
gets here.

Where Bottles Are Money!.

From the London Chronicle
recent traveller on the Niger in Africa
writes:
Il was anxious to purchase some fruit
from a native woman who came down to
the ship and to this end produced a hand
full Of coppers which 1 had brought out
from England. 1 first showed her five.
then six. seven and eight, but she pushed
them all aside in a most unceremonious
manner. More by way of a joke than any,
thing else then produced 3-penny piece.
which she at once accepted, giving me in
return just twice as much as 1 had asked
for my eight coppers. I also discovered
that she had great Partially for white
glass bottles. / happened to have about half
a dozen empty soda water bottles for which
she gave me the same number of eggs /
afterward found that any white glass bottle
had this purchasing power all over Nigeria.
The natives send them to Bida where they
are melted and made into rings about
three or four inches in diameter, to be
worn either as armlets or ank,ets"

Quarrel Among Monks in Jerusalem.

An interesting account of the singular
controversy which arose between the Greek
and Latin monks over the right to sweep
the steps and pavement of the Church of
the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem is con-
tanned In report to the Department
OF State from United States Consul Mer-
TIL. at Jerusalem, dated August Is. This
gle between the monks, in which a num-
Der or the participants were seriously in
1ured. Wholesale arrests followed and no
less than thirty-four monks were sentenced

the trouble was the issue of trades by the
sultan granting to several powers the right
