TRINITY NAVIGATION.
Dallas, Tex., CVtay 2.—"I notice in a re-
cent number of The Galveston News,"
said Mr. C. A. Keating, president of the
Trinity 'Navigation company, to a News
reporter yesterday, "an Interview with
Colonel M. Roberts of the United States
engineer corps and inspector of the South-
ern district, in which toe expresses confi-
dence that thirty feet of water can "be had
over Calve»ton bar, and in conclusion re-
marks: 'You know that old saying, I'here
Is a tide in t'he affairs of men which taken
at its flood leads on to fortune. That tide
is rapidly approaching Galveston and your
people should get ready to take It at its
flood. Don't allow selfishness to dominate
your actions. Help others as well as your-
self. You will 'have deep water—it remains
to be seen what you will do with it.'
"I just want to say that Galveston, in
considering wihat she will do wi't'h deep wa-
ter, s'hould not forget that she will ibe
more 'benefited 'by 'the opening of the Trin-
ity river to navigation than Dallas can
ever expect to be. Galveston with deep
water wan'ts every avenue open to com-
merce that can pour supplies Into 'her
shipping. The Trinity, if opened to navi-
gation as a canal, would be a channel of
commerce more valuable to Galveston than
a number of railroads. It is a well known
fact t'ha-t the river or the canal makes the
freight rate to tide water, and It is equally
well known that neither the river nor the
canal does the ihaultng. Memphis 'has a
rate on cotton to the sea of $1 a bale,
while the rate from Dallas to Galveston is
$3.60 a bale. Nobody will doubt that we
could get $1 a bale to Galveston If our ca-
nal was open to that city, and certainly no
eastern center would compete with Gal-
veston at that rate. Last August I 'had a
conversation with a prominent Galveston
gentleman who would, he said, be in favor
of the river being canalized were It not
that It would injure Galveston, because
the cotton now carried to that port by
rail is there compressed and 'handled
through the wharves, while were the Trin-
ity river converted into a canal, the cot-
ton, he claimed, would go down in barges
and foe loaded in the 'harbor on the outgo-
ing steamers without paying tri'bute for
compressing, Wharfage or 'handling. In
proof of this position he called in evidence
tihe fact that the barges from Houston
came down the bayou and loaded their
cotton on the steamers, and he inferred
that the same would prove true of a canal
connecting Dallas with Galveston harbor.
I dissuaded the gentleman from that idea
by explaining to 'him that the river made
t'he rates and the railroads did the haul-
ing, such being history. I further con-
vinced hiim that 'between 'here and Galves-
ton, skirting the Trinity river, lay a coun-
try of almost inimitable possibilities, many
of t'he large plantations of which had been
abandoned for want of transportation, and
that toy opening up this avenue of com-
merce that country would be brought un-
der cultivation and its cotton handled by
the canal boats at all points not reached
by the railroads, would go down uncom-
pressed to t'he sea, where it would pay its
full tribute to Galveston. Colonel Roberts'
suggestion, *Do not allow selfishness to
dominate your actions; 'help others as well
as yourself,' is timely, and it looks as if
when 'he uttered it he had In mind that
Galveston, as a means of advancing its
growth, s'hould take an interest in and
help the improvement of the Trinity river.
It remains to "be seen what Galveston will
do with deep water when s"he gets it."
DEATH OF FLORENCE ADKINS.
Orchard, Fort Bend Co., Tex., May 1.—
An accident occurred at this place at about
midnight last night, resulting in the in-
stant death of Florence Adkins, the 13-
year-old nurse girl of Mr. John T. Graves.
Mr. Graves occupies three rooms in the
rear of his store as a residence, and sev-
eral attempts have recently been made by
burglars to effect an entrance to the build-
ing. and the night previous some one had
gained admittance to the hallway and
looted a cupboard. Mr. Graves had become
alarmed at these repeated visits of the
night prowler and had placed his loaded
shotgun conveniently near his bed, and on
retiring for the night the family, and Flor-
ence particularly, were warned against
moving about or going out of doors during
the night without first waking Mr. Graves,
'but the erlrl failed to heed the warning-.
About midnight she quietly passed through
the family sleeping room and went out of
doors, and the soueaking of the outer or
screen door awakened Mr. Graves, who,
thinking that a burglar was trying the
door, sprang from bed and grasped his
gun, when, after a moment of intense sus-
pense, the screen door was again opened
and the Inner door pushed stealthily open.
Mr. Graves, thinking that the lives and
property of himself and family were in
imminent peril, fired through the darkened
door. With a scream the child told him
who rfhe was, but it was too late. The en-
tire charge took effect in her right side,
and in less than five minutes she was a
corpse. The affair has almost crazed the
rriaf ttrlcken family.
COURT OF APPEALS.
Opinions Rendered Yesterday in Th'ree
Cases Involving Interesting
Law Points.
FELLOW SERVANT QUESTION
The Surety on a Note May Be Held Liable
Even After the Principal Is Barred.
Court News.
The following are condensations of opin-
ions rendered in the court of civil appeals
yesterday: ,
Youngstown bridge company, intervener,
appellant, vs. North Galveston, Houston
and Kansas City railroad company, appel-
lee—From Galveston: R. A. Reese was ap-
pointed a receiver of the railroad company
by the district court on July 7, 1893. at the
suit of J. H. Taylor and others and of the
Galveston trust company on July 10. Va-
rious interventions were tiled by creditors.
On January 27, 189-1, Reese, as receiver for
the trust company, tiled an intervention for
$90,029.88, and on the same day the Min-
neapolis trust company, as receiver, ap-
pointed by the court in that state, filed an
•intervention claiming an indebtedness due
the Northwestern guaranty loan company
of $79,353.99. On the same day the court,
without referring these claims to the mas-
ter in chancery, who had tbeen appointed
for this purpose, heard evidence upon them
and rendered judgment In favor of these
Interveners for substantially the amounts
dlaimed. Judgment was also given for the
original plaintiffs for sums claimed for
them and the property was ordered «sold,
the claims allowed ordered paid and the bal-
ance from the sale ordered into the hands
of the court for t&e dis-trlbutlon among
other creditors whose claim« should be al-
lowed. On February 14, the Youngstown
bridge company of Ohio intervened with a
claim of $7253.73 and claimed a Hen upon
certain property. This was referred to the
master, who recommended the allowance
of t'he claim and the disallowance of the
lien. The report was confirmed by the
court. No appeal was* taken from those
orders, but two motions were filed on June
13, 1894, directed against the two judgments
mentioned, asking'that in so far as they
affected the appellant they be set aside.
The motions set up the previous interven-
tion iby appellant and its result, alleged that
the property of the railway company 'had
been sold for $30,000, sufficient, If applied to
just debts only, to pay all claimn; that the
two claims Just mentioned were fictitious,
and in effect that 'they had 'been procured
•by coClusion and that by false representa-
tions counsel of appellant had been pre-
vented from contesting them at the proper
time; that no notice had been given appel-
lant of those interventions and that it had
no opportunity to resist 'them; that they
were not referred to the master as they
should -have been; that the judgments were
rendered simultaneously with the filing of
the pleas, and .proper evidence to establish
the indebtedness; that, if such claims were
allowed to stand, appellant would not re-
ceive more than 10 cents on the dollar of
Its cilaim. Requests for correction of the
faults alleged were made. Exceptions to
these motions were overruled, evidence was
tfieard and judgments were rendered over-
ruling them from which these appeals are
prosecuted. The lack of introduction of
evidence upon the trial of the motions to
prove 'the allegations contained in them os
commented upon. Justice Williams says:
"The facts that t'he claims of appellees were
not referred to the master in chancery,
and that a receiver, appointed by a court
of another state, was allowed to intervene,
afforded no ground for a collateral attack
upon the Judgments. They In no way af-
jfect the jurisdiction of the court. It can
Justly make no difference to appellee that
a foreign receiver ds allowed to repvtsent
the creditor, if the debt is bona fide, and to
participate in the fund. Appellant is itself
a foreign creditor and is not entitled tfo
priority over the claim represented by the
receiver. The resident creditors are pro-
tected >by the precedence given to their
claim over that of the foreign receiver,, and
no reason Is .seen why the court might not
properly allow the receiver to Intervene and
represent the indebtedness asserted. At any
rate, appellant is not injured by it, if the
debt 11a just." Affirmed.
Isabella Daniel, appellant, vs. R. A. Har-
vln, and C. R. Vinson, executrix of W. H.
Vinson, appellees—From Washington coun-
ty: Appellant sued upon a note, in form
joint and several, signed by R. A. Harvin
and by W. H. Vinson, with the word "se-
curity" written after his name. Vinson
died before the institution of the suit,
leaving a will by which C. R. Vinson was
made his Independent executrix. S'he in-
dorsed her approval and promise to pay
on the note. Roth defendants pleaded the
statute of limitations, and Mrs. Vinson
pleaded that her husband was only a sure-
ty and hail been released by the fact that
the plaintiff had allowed the note to be-
come barred by limitation as to the prin-
cipal. More than four years elapsed be-
tween the maturity of the note and the in-
stitution of the suit, and the note was
barred as to Harvin. The court below
correctly held that plaintiff could not re-
cover against Harvin, but we think it
otherwise with Mrs. Vinson. As Independ-
ent executrix she had power by her prom-
ise to suspend the statute before the debt
was barred. Having done so, she Is not
released by the fact that t'he note is barred
as against Harvin. even if she is to be
treated as surety. The principle Is general-
ly but not universally true, that anything
which releases the principal will release
the surety.
Justice Williams in his opinion says:
"Thus the release of the principal by bank-
rupt proceeding does not release the surety.
The release of the surety here, as in the
instance cited, is brought about by opera-
tion of law and not by an affirmative act
of the payee of the note. The surety would
be released in the same way but for her
act in suspending the running of the
statute In her favor. The debt was not
barred when she made the new promise
and its existence was a sufficient consid-
eration for the promise." The judgment is
reversed and judgment rendered in plain-
tiff's favor against Mrs. Vinson as Inde-
pendent executrix, to be collected by exe-
cution against property of the estate in her
hands and in favor of defendant Harvin.
Texas and New Orleans railroad company,
appellant, vs. Amanda J. Tatman, appellee
—From Jefferson county: Appellee based
her right to recover damages for the death
of her husband, which occurred while he
was In the employment of appellant, upon
two grounds, viz: First, that such death
was caused by negligence of defendant In
failing to have suitable rules and regula-
tions for the conduct of its operations In
its yards at Beaumont to protect its em-
ployes against risks such as that to which
deceased was exposed, and second, that
such death was caused by negligence of
servants of appellant, who were not fellow
servants of deceased, 'but were vice princi-
pals of the defendant.
The appellee introduced a book of rules
and regulations, which was objected to by
appellant, but was admitted. Justice Will-
iams, in his opiinion, concludes: "We
think, therefore, it was proper to Inquire
into all of the rules which oore upon the

J istice Williams discusses the fellow serv-
ants act at length and holds that as they
an botq of the same grade of workmen
they were fellow servants. Justice Will-
iams concludes: "In order to properly see
the applicability of the charge to the evi-
dence It has been necessary for us to read
the statement of facts In which the evi-
dence of the witnesses is pet out in length,
containing repeated statements,not only by
different witnesses, but by the same wit-
ness, of facts about which there is no con-
troversy. Had the parties complied with
the rules the facts to be considered on this
appeal could have been stated In a sm.ll
space. The practice of stating all of the
evidence, just as it is detailed by the wit-
ness and taken down by the stenographer,
is becoming so common and causes the
useless consumption of so much time that
it may be proper to find some method of
exacting a compliance with the rules of
the court upon the subject. For the pres-
ent we content ourselves with taxing the
costs of copying the statement of facts into
the record against the appellant." Re-
versed and remanded.
