The first train to pass over will be a number of sleepers containing a party from St. Louis, who will arrive over the K. and T. in the morning. The owners of tnia road are endeavoring to secure control of the Galveston estern, which gives them terminals in tiaiveston.

All then necessary will be to bridge Galveston bay. Thie road la backed by St. Louis capitalists, with J. aldo. formerly general manager of the Katy, as president, and J.

W-. Ford, of Houston, as secretary, it expected ttust the Missouri. Kansas and Texas, East and West Texas, and Houston and Texas Central and Central aud Southern i'a-cine will lie Its tracks to get from Houston to Galveston. It is in every sense a terminal road at present, but later it I expected that it will become part of one of the big trunk lines which is seeking a gulf outlet. LOW RATH FOR VETERANS.

The old confederate veterans will ha-ve a very low rate made to Honston on the occasion of the grand annual reunion there, which takes place- May 22-The roads this side of the river have announced a- rate of one cent per mile traveled, and yesterday the general passenger agent's office of the Southern Pacific announced a similar rate on that road west ot the river, which means that all connecting lines more or less wjll participate in the rate. This reduction brings the round trip rate to Houston from this city down from to- ST 23, a rate which passenger people all think will certainly prove satisfactory to the old soldiers. This reunion promises to be well attended. CAPTAIN MANX'S PROMOTION. The official announcement of the appointment of Captain John G.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION. Chicago, April 3. Judge of the United States court, to-day decided the ease of the Farmers Loan and Trust Company, of Xeir York. against tiie Chicago and Northern Pacific Railroad Company, holding that the bonds held by the present were and that the property of the railroad com pany should be applied on the bonds.

The suit was for foreclosure of the bonds held by the trust company, on which interest had been defaulted. The defense set up was that the Farm ers Trust company nad never qualified to do business in Illinois by depositing Siaxj.uou witn tne state auditor. Judge Jenkins decided that the Illinois statute did not apply to foreign corporations simply taking mortgages, but only to those doing active uuainesa in the state. This decision affects probably more man ronr-nrtns or ail tne bonds issued by Illinois railroads, and has been watched for witlv4nterest by dealers and investors of money in such, securities. Chairman Mldgely, of the Western Freight Association, has been Informed by the St.

Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway that at the expiration of sixty days it will withdraw from the western trunk line committee. The reason given is inability to protect Its Interests while a member of the committee. It was expected to-day that the Wabash-Road would issue a tariff sheet based on the 12-eent rate on grain from Chicago to New but it was not The rate waa somewhat. BtiEfer to-day, and there was less of the disposition to cut under Hi cents than has been shown for several days. A meeting of general freight agents will soon be called at the Central Traffic Association room for the purpose of considering what means can be taken to alleviate the sitnation and pnt a stop to the making of such low rates.

Lagan, of the Louisiana Construction and Imrove-nat Company, with reference to reports mude to his department from the city wharf Inspectors, J. Brealin and Felix Car-lin.

Mr. Farrell states that h's inspectors complain that the approim to the wharves, between Toledauo and Nuns streets, are in a wretched condition. Between Seventh and Toleda-jo it is impossible to drive to the whirf. The piank road from Second to Fourth atreets is bad, and some the tanks are missing, making irav -I dangerous. From St.

James to Terpsichore fctreet the plauk roadway needs rei lira. At Riehard street a span measuring 100 fret by 100. fronting, the water works, re-jna'jia open. protection Ut'lug a.Tord-ed to pedestrians, it is risky. The bulkhead between Robin and Henderson streets Is caving into the river for a distance of 14 feet from the roadwty.

Vehi eles passing cause the cave; aud no substantial filling has been placed In the bulkheads before or since the cave. The approaches to the a. Julia street are of river sand, when They shonld'be of rock. From Gtrod to Ioy-drns street there is no place for freight, a tight layer of shells having been placed upon river sand, and vehicles frequently stall In it. The wharf lessees asked to conform with the requirements of their lease in this matter.

The amount total represented for building permits issued in the month of March from the office of the city engineer is SS4.5S5. BUILD TRACKS PROPERLY. City Engineer Brown has begun a serious crusade against the builders of railways. Following up his- letters to those concerned, he is sending his men out to see that, work Is being done properly. He has called the attention of Mr.

Lit-teil, superintendent of the traction company, to that portion of South Peters street, where ft is necessary to pave from curb to curb. He notifies the superintendent that hi men have been given instructions and a grade was set tor them, by which tney wers to be guided in placing curbs. The railroad foreman ha ignored that grade and laced some of the curbing below it. Le has been asked to raise them to the proper height, and refused, lis has also refused to rearrange the pavement. Mr.

Litteli is asked to issue instruction to his foreman to have that work don as the contract obligates, and to follow the grades given by the city engineer. Mr. Brown 'mean to stop to work of the St. Charles Street Railroad Company if they do not pursue their operations properly. Writing to Mr.

McLelian, president of the road, he says that Bourbon street has been rendered wretched by the workmen laying track thereon. After the tracks are laid, the stone that have been taken: up are put back upon oft earth, consequently traffic upon the street causes them to sink. They should be deposited on a hard bed and placed so that when traffic 1 pursued the sinking will bring them even with the pavement that has not been The stones have not been placed back so as to fit properly. Where it was necessary to clip stones to make them fit careless) work is shown. When replaced they should be an inch above the rail so as to allow for settling.

Taking all this into consideration, Mr. Brown has ordered the stones- to be all taken, up and replaced in the proper manner. He says ft will be a hardship for the company to pro- ed further with the class of work be ing and has ordered an- inspector to the scene to have further work stopped; until the damage done has been remedied. Captain Alfred Bradley 1 the inspector, and being regarded as a man of firm purpose, it ia expected there will be no further room for com plain WORK DURING MARCH.

She was a woman of many noble qualities, which endeared her to a large circle of friends, and her-charity. was one of the most prominent features- of a career that was- marked by numberless good A few days ago she con tratted pneumonia, which, owing to her advanced ago. soon got beyond the skill of medicine, and the kind ministrations of a loving family were futile.

He-found in the utterance of the- Savior a. promise that in this- sense freedom mc attainable by ail. He believed that the world was identified with God. but also-that there was in it a sort of life, independent of and yet subjected to God, although In one way opposed to him.

He believed also that man enjoyed an equal measure of independent life, and ontHide of a preordained obedience to certain grand laws, exercised a general liberty of moral freedom, and a consequent responsibility.

Dr. Klngsolving said that the-word, had always had a magic sound in the human ear, and the dream of what it represented Inspired almost every aft Ion of the race. Freedom.
