Houston, Tex., Aug. 30.—For some time
pa«t there has been some energetic talking
but In a quiet way, that may result In one
of the bluest things for south Texas that
It may get for many years. It has been
talked of nearly ever since the building
of the wagon bridge out of Galveston
across the channel to th«* mainland was
begun. It Is the construction of an electric
railway to connect Galveston and Houston.
There has been a determined effort to
ke<°p the matter quiet, but by constant In- '
qulry the News correspondent has ob-
tained some fasts that can not but be
Interesting.
Tbe schema Is entirely feasible and It ap- |
pears that It can be made to pay when
well under way.
From a gentleman who is thoroughly In- (
formed and feels a large Interest In the
project It Is learned that the road can be
operated by the trolley wire with four i
power houses on the line. They will cost
about $25,000 each and the construction of i
the track Is put at $10,000 per mile. The .
natural conditions are very favorable for
the construction of the track, ft can be ,
started to work at a cost of something
over $600,000. and by handling freight can
be made to pav at 50 cents a fare and on
irpeclal occasions a round trip fare of 76
cents. The run It Is believed, can be
made In less than an hour and a half and
oars will go out from each city every
hour. Freight will be handled at about the
same proportionate chaise as passengers.
There are several substantial capitalists
of Galveston and this city who are taking
an Interest In the scheme and It is believed
they will see that it Is carried through.

THE OUTLOOK GOOD.
The outlook for this part of Texas is re-
ported good by Mr. E. L. Alexander, who
has Just come back from a trip to Chicago
and the northwest. He is one of the en-
terprising and sharp-sighted young business
men of this city and his words as given
In substance above were applied particu-
larly to the prospect as it Is affected by the
coming of people from the northwest to
this section for the purpose of Investing.
He said the special rates that would be
in reach of the Investors of the northwest
from this time forward would bring money
here. Advertising that had already been
done was having its effect and there were
hundreds of men making arrangement to
come down and Invest for settlement or
for sale. He said he had just made a good
sale of land not far from this city and the
urchaser had gone bacft to the north to
ring his family down and make their
home.
His opinion was that business would be
larger this winter than it had ever been.
Jn Chicago he found among the visitors to
the worlds' fair an opinion more favorable
to south Texas than any other part of
the country and this observation was made
with an impartial eye. The predominating
idea with those coining this way was to
get a home here, to occupy Immediately
or in the future.

Vance Foster, the little son of Joe Fos-
ter, the colored barber, died last night

the roof,
On the ground floor of the market house

credit to the city.
The Mason building, at the corner of
Main street and Rusk avenue, now In.
course of construction, after a cessation of

pletest structure* In the city. It Is of
Philadelphia pressed brick.

HEADA HK AND MYsPEpSU,
William E. Rockwell, No. 512 West Fifty-
seventh street, New York, says:
"I have been a martyr to bilious head-
ache and dyspepsia. Any indiscretion In
diet, over-fatigue or cold brings on a fit
of indigestion, followed by a headache last-
ing two or three days at a time. I think
I must have tried over twenty different
remedies, which were recommended as cer-
tain cures by loving friends, but it was no
use. At last I thought I would take a
simple course of purgation with Brand-
reth's pUls. For the first week I took two
pills every night, then one pill for thirty
nights; in that time I gained three pounds
in weight, and never have nad an ache or
a pain since."
Disease in one part of the body will even-
tually fill the whole body with disease.
Every year or two some part of the sys-
tem grows weak and begins to decay. Such
part should be removed at once, and new
matter be allowed to take its place. There
is no need of cutting it out with a sur-
geon s scalpel. Purge away the old, dis-
eased and worn out parts with Brandreth's
Dills.
New York Commercial Bulletin.
State ownership of railroads hail made a
better showing for Itself In Prussia than
anywhere else, but a writer who has been
contributing to the London Transport
a series of articles on "Railway Rates and
State Control" finds even the Prussian
system marked by the faults most com-
plained of In prlyate management. His In-
formation Is mainly from French studies,
but where these deal with records rather
than opinions they need not be discounted
for national Jealousy. M. Mange betrays
no patriotic bias in discussing me operation
of state control of railways in France.
For several years the Prussian railways
showed a handsome profit. This turned to
a deficit last year, and a larger deficit is
ustimafeod for this year. Were this due to
the operation of tiie roads too much in the
interest of shippers, it would not welgn
much against tn« system in minds fnenciiy

in Australia not omy are the railroads
owned by tne colonial governments, but
tne governments themselves are dominated
by popular sentiment as macn as me gov
ernments of our own western states are.
There, if anywnere, we would find ireigiit
rates absolutely equitaoie as uetween piace
and place. And yet at the time tne ntoure >
cited In Transport were collected the
rate from .Sydney to Orange, 1&: miles,
was i'A (is tid, and to Hay, zM miles fur-
ther, it was £20. From Sydney to Coota-
mundra, 253 miles, the rate was £3S 0s lid,
and to Waggawagga, 50 miles further, it
was £20. Tne Cootamundra merchants
saved money by paying a local rate of £b
3s, and shipping by way of Waggawagga.
Nothing worse than this was ever charged
against American railroad managers. Tne
rate from Sydney to Goulburn, 134 miles,
on six tons of high class freight, was £2'j
12s, and from Goulburn to Hay, 320 miles,
£58 Is. And yet the same freight was car-
ried from Sydney to Hay through Goul-
burn for £20.
So much for New South Wales; Victoria
was no better. The highest rate from Mel-
bourne to Wodonga, M7 miles, was 106
shillings; to Albury, 3 miles further and
across the New South Wales bounuary
the rate was 63s 6d, and on goods con-
signed to points 20 miles further into New
South Wales the rate to Albury was 32s
6d. From Wodonga, on the boundary to
Melbourne, local wool paid 7s 6d, but New
South Wales paid only 3s to 3s 6d.
Equally gross discriminations against
home produce were made on state regu-
lated railroads in France. The rate on
grain from Havre to Paris was lower on
the imported article than on domestic
grain. Wine paid 37 francs from Bordeaux
to Paris and 36 francs from the Spanish
frontier through Bordeaux. Wool paid the
same rate from Marseilles to Rouen, 610
miles, also to Roubalx, 680 miles, and this
rate was 37 francs for Australian, 50 francs
for Algerian and 58 francs for French
wool.
Austria-Hungary has tried state control
with a fair measure of success as state
regulated roads go. But the Chicago pa-
pers lately quoted Henrlch Graf, railroad
cqmmissioner of Austria, who is visiting
the world's fair, as saying that after In-
specting the exhibits at the fair and the
railroad system of the United States, he
had reached the conclusion that it was bet-
ter that railroads should be owned by pri-
vate corporations. Even under an Imperial
government he said that the constant
changes of politics impaired the railroad
servioe. Were the roads in his country in
private hands he believed that ...e compe-
tition would result in affording the public
an improved service.

MR. MASTERS CHOSEN.
New Orleans Picayune, Aug. 29.
Yesterday Mr. S. A. Trufant, president
of the bureau of freight and transportation,
announced that the board of directors at
their meeting some days ago had unani-
mously elected Mr. W. H. Masters as the
commissioner of the bureau. Mr. Trufant
said that the selection had been made
after careful consideration, and the board
of directors felt convinced that they had
chosen the right man to make the work of
the new transportation bureau a success.
Mr. Trufant said that Mr. Masters was
an experienced railroad man, and had been
for many years the resident general agent
of the Gulf. Colorado and Santa Fe rail-
road at Galveston, which position he re-
signed in May of the present year. From
his long residence at Galveston as the rep-
resentative of one of the prominent com-
petitive southern lines he was necessarily
thoroughly familiar with the business of
the various gulf ports and the rates in
vogue on the lines competing for the trade
from the interior to tide water on the gulf.
Mr. Masters is now at Temple, Tex., and
is expected to assume control of the busi-
ness of the bureau here on October 1. lie
will at once appoint a chief clerk, who will
have charge of the office early In Septem-
ber.
With the election of a commissioner, Mr.
Trufant holds that the final preliminaries
for the successful establishment here of a
bureau of freight and transportation have
l>een completed, and the board of directors
will at once proceed to collect the funds
subscribed for the maintenance of the In-
stitution.
William Howell Masters was born in
Orange county, N. Y., February 15, 1847.
He entered the railway service in 18G9 as
axman in the engineer corps on the Pough-
keepsie and Eastern railway. He was then
made roadman of the same line a few
months after, and in 1870 was employed as
leveler of the Poughkeepsle water works.
In the same year he was appointed the
leveler of the railroad, and was afterward
made leveler and assistant engineer of the
Newburg and Midland railroad. In 18il he
was made assistant engineer on the Inter
national and Great Northern road. He re-
mained with that road until August, 1872,
when he acceifted a position as assistant
engineer of the Texas and Pacific road, in
1873 he was appointed civil engineer of the
Texas state penitentiary. Here he remained
until February, 1S75, when he became the
division engineer of the New Orleans anl
Texas railroad. He held that position but
a short time when he was ma le general
freight agent and superintendent of the
road. In 1-77 he was made general freight
agent of the company. In 18S2 he was ap-
pointed as contracting freight agent of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railway, and
in 1885 he became the general freight agent
and passenger agent. He is eminently a
self-made man, and has proven his ability
in every department in which he has been
tried.
In referring to the appointment of Mr.
Masters, the Times-Democrat says:
After long weeks of careful considera-
tion and tireless search the bureau of
freight and transportation has secured the
services of a gentleman who will hence-
forth manage lis affairs and keep an eye
open for the commercial advancement of
the city.
The gentleman upon whom the board of
directors of the bureau have agreed as
the proper head of the new organization
is Mr. W. H. Masters, a man whose wide
experience in matters pertaining to rates
and commercial tariffs has given him a
store of experience which will be of valu-
able assistunce to the merchants of New
Orleans. Mr. Masters is at present in
Temple, Tex., but for the past twelve
years has held the Important office of
general freight agent of the Gulf, Colo-
rado and Santa Fe railroad, with head-
quarters at Galveston. The character of
the position which Mr. Masters lias tilled
for so long a period was one which called
for his using every effort In his power to
fight New Orleans In the question of
freight rates, bo well has he conducted
lils campaign in favor of Galveston and
kindred points that he brought himself to
the notice of the local mercantile com-
munity as a dangeri.'iH enemy, anl upon
the formation of the organisation now
known as the bureau of freight and trans-
portation he was one of the gentlemen
who was regarded a:i a possible manager
of the enterprise.
The board of directors of the organiza-
tion elected him to 'lie position about a
fortnight ago, and 'he fact was male
known to Mr. Masters. Yesterday he sent
a reply accepting the position, and the re-
ceipt of the news w-'m hailed with delight
by those Interested li> the movement.
Mr. Masters will take charge of the of-
fices of commissioner the bureau on Oc-
tober 1. He will leave Temple In a short
time and visit Kan is City, New York,
St. Louis and other 1 irge cities on a tour
of observation, gaining Information on
the operation of the ><<ards of transporta-
tion of those places. The directory of the
bureau has decided to give Mr. Masters
the right of selecting his chief clerk, be-
lieving It proper th t he should select a
man to fill the office upon which so much
of the intricate work of the organization
will devolve. The chief clerk will open
and organize an office about September 1,
and ail the necessary details will be ar-
ranged for October 1.
The position to which Mr. Masters has
been elected is one of great importance
to tLe business men of the city generally.
The leading Interests are represented by
the directory of the new bureau, and in
his official capacity Mr. Masters will en-
Joy the right of attending meetings of
railway ansociatlons »o that he can best
represent the business Interests of the
community. His duties will be to set*
that New Orleans is not discriminated
against in rates, and whatever complaints
about overcharges or other of the many
matters calling for adjustment will be
submitted to him, and by him brought
to the attention of the proper authorities.

He Tells Bis Wifu That Highwaymen Held
Him Op but 8lie Wouldn't Believe
It—His Hepantant Eeturn.
Brenham, T<?x., Atis. 30,-,John DuchetlKk!,
the Pole, who claims to have been robbed
of $20 In a negro dive on the 23d Instant, j
an account of which appeared In The News :
at the time, was again before Justice j
Blnz with a truly sad story, which Is the :
soquel to the alh gtd robbery It seems ;
that Duchenskl, whose home iw seven |
miles southeast of here, had brought a •
bale of cotton to town find sold It, and j
It was part of this money that he claimed
to have been robbed of. To ease his sor-
rows he looked several times too often up-
on the "cup that cheers" on that eventful
day one week ago and was In a very
hilarious condition when he reached his
homo that night and informed his wife
that he had been robbed of J'JO, but failed
to tell her the same story he told the
authorities here as to tne place and cir-
cumstances attending the a.lcged robbery.
Instead, he substituted a wild and blood
curdling tale of how he was driving peo.e-
fully home In the evening with all his
rn noy In Ills pocket, when a man by tile
roadside hailed him and asked for a ride,
lie permitted the man to net in his wagon;
pretty soon they came to two other men,
who also insisted 011 riding with him, and
after they were in the wagon they all three
set upon him; he fought them off as best
he could, but they were three to one ana
soon overpowered him; two held him while
the other one went through his pocitets
and took out the handkerchief In which
tii" money was, abstracted a 120 bin and
returned the rest of the money to the
pocket, then released him and he drove on
home. At this Juncture to prove his story
Duchenskl held up the handkerchief with
all the money in it except the $20.
Mrs. Duchenskl gazed at her lord ana
wiih a dangerous twinkle in her e>e she in-
formed him in Polish that she admired his
sublime gall and Ingenuity, but that his
story wouldn't wash. So he had better
go and tell it to the marines and in order
that no time might be lost in imparting
the Information he had better go at once
and never come back until he brought that
$_'0. She punctuated her remarks with
vigorous cuffs and shoves, which soon pre-
cipitated poor Duchenskl out of the hotme.
The irate wife then slammed the door In
his face and Duchenskl became a wanderer
upon the face of the earth.
and bawled like a calf, while briny rivers
He told his troubles yesterday afternoon,
ran down each cheek. Last night Justice
Bmz and one cr two otner gentlemen took
Duchenskl In a hack and carried him back
to the bosom of his family. The pitiful
story of the penitent husband was then re-
lated to Mrs. DuchensKi, and, upon his ab-
ject promise to in future be a faithful hus-
band, and to love, 1 onor and obey, and es-
pecially obey her, the little woman consent-
ed to let him Come home to her once more.
It Is hardly likely after such a lesson as
this that Duchenskl will ever again listen
to the voice of a siren, be she black, white
or any other color. And the next time he
tells of being robbed by a lot of highway-
men he will not be so foolish as to say that
they took part of his money and returned
the balance to him.
