leans is district court and is entitled
under section one of the act of congress
of 1892 to naturalHe foreigners. See
ond, that the second district court of
New Orleans is court of record, with
Il seal and clerk that it has common
law jurisdiction, in that it is a court
which entertains suits for money de-
mands and all personal actions against
SUGGESTIONS, minors and interdicts per-
sons, and as such has jurisdiction to
naturalize aliens. Over one hundred
members of the bar were present, who
approved of the above report.
GALVESTON, October 20..--At meet
ing of the directors of the Gulf, Colo
rad0 and Sante Fee railroad, yesterday
evening, General Bragg made his re-
port OF the preliminary survey made
by him to the intersection with the
western branch of the Texas Central
railroad, short distance west of Bren-
ham. The length of the line run to
that point is one hundred and forty
one miles, but this can be shortened to
about one hundred and thirty-five
miles. One or two other lines will be
run before determining upon the eX.
act route. The line run crosses the
bay a few miles to the west of the
present railroad bridge, and the course
from this city to Columbia is nearly
due west, and the distance about fifty
miles. From Columbia the course is
nearly northwest between the Brazos
and San Bernard rivers to the inter-
section of the Galveston, Houston and
San Antonio railroad, thence to the
intersection of the western branch of
the Texas Central.
The report gives detailed estimate
of the cost of the road as far rs his
present survey extends, one hundred
and thirty-iive miles. His estimate
makes the cost q little over thirteen |
thousand dollars per mile, including
grading, bridges, side tracks, ties, iron
and all materials and labor for first
class road complete. This estimate,
however, does not include any rolling
stock. General Bragg says the topog-
raphy of the country is unusually fav-
orable, which might be inferred from
the low estimation of the cost, which
is considerable less than half the cost |
of most of new railroads.
The report of General Bragg is far
more favorable than was expected. All
his estimates are based on reliable
iata, and such as are recognized by all
engineers.
