New Time Card and Rail News Across Regions
The notice lists a new time card effective May 17 1885 for I and G N railroad routes to St Louis via Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain and to Laredo with morning and afternoon arrivals and a separate G H and A R rail line offering two daily trains to New Orleans. It also mentions political chatter about future state tickets, Gulf road financing, cholera control in Spain, grasshoppers in Canon City, and rail line developments. Local items cover the Houston Light Guard reception in Galveston, cattlemen vs Apache raids, Afghan frontier boundary settlement, Democratic newspaper candidacies, and a Chicago working group dynamite remark by William Godwin.
Texas urged to skip New Orleans fair over reptile exhibit
Texas faces reduced hopes for further World’s Fair funding as officials doubt the reptile displays will lure immigrants. Fort Worth and Dallas win praise for railway gains, while Aransas Pass and Sabine Pass ports may rise without Galveston’s deep water plans. Crown Prince Bismarck’s Texas cattle venture draws interest, and San Antonio Aransas Pass line funds loom. Banking fraud, subtreasury robberies, and Grand Army opposition to secret societies highlight a busy, unsettled period.
