the Columbus diamond thieves have been
discharged from custody. Marshall Middle
ton of that place arrived here Sunday, but
after investigating the matter concluded
that they were not the parties, at least he did

and again went free. Yesterday afternoon
Aiken was re.srrested on suspicion ofhsving
stolen pistol from the st. George hotel, but
the officers failed to find ii and he was turned
loose. They were after Williams also but
he gave them the slip. Williams says that
heis a gambler travelling with the Pacific

lows the show selling "snide jewelry.
A Mr.. Burton arrived here last evening
from Fort Worth looking for them. He

the two roads, but the filing of an Injunction

the Missouri Pacific, which has been granted
by Judge Mccormick. Both roads CLAIM,

that it has bought the land and paid the pur.
chase money for it. The following Is the

The directors of this company, consisting
of d. H. Hale, Thomas P. Robb, james B.
Simpson, Clinton B. Hale. Jules Z. Schneider
and l.. Fl. Fitzhugh, met yesterday after
noon at their general offices in this city.
The designations of Messrs. Dwight X.

A. f. Hardie were presented to end accepted
by the board.
Instead of these directors, Messrs. Jules E,
Schneider, of Dallas, aud John 7. McAuley
Ferdinand W. Peck and Amos T. Hale, OF
Chicago, were unanimously elected directors
in said company. The resg alton of Mr..
Dwight X. Trip as vice president of the
company was accepted and Mr.. Amos 7.
Hall elected ce.president In his stead.
Messrs. Hall and McAuley, of Chicago,
were likewise elected members of the excu-
tive committee Of the company. MIR. Dwight
X. Trip was unanimously elected general
solicitor for the company. The report of
Major George w. Waite of the
location of the first ~ miles of the
road and the designation and 10.
cation Of depots thereon was
approved and adopted, and by resolution the
chief engineer was instructed to proceed to
locate The next twenty-five miles southwest:
wardly, and prepare the same for letting.
The chief engineer was also instructed by
the president OF the company and chairman
Of the executive committee to proceed with.
out delay, to survey the line from Dallas to
Paris and thence to Red river with view
of connecting the same with feasible line
from Red river through the 'noctaw nation

struction of the road, adjourned sine die.

kennel. Passing on to other matters, it is cur
rently reported that sformer chief engineer.
who is now president of the construction
company, and one of the most prominent
men in directing the affairs Of the road, has
always Disseminated against Dallas in his
efforts to build up rival town, and in furlh.
GRANGE of this purpose, he has lately pro-
jscted new road, and had his chief conf.
Dental friend and adviser appointed presi.
dent, which, when completed, 1t is hoped
will retard this city 10 its rapid growth.
Vain hope! for it will only prove another
outlet to augment the trade of Dallas. Our
lumber dealers complain, and with seeming
justice, that other towns, more favored than
this city, are furnished with cars at the mills
to transport their lumber for building pur.
poses and other improvements, while here
they can only get transportation after
long delays, and then often only BY visiting
the chief officers at Marshall, making
two or three trips TO that point to secure Is a
favor that which should DO given them as a
right at any time when asked for. And now
last bu, not the least, when the Dallas & WITCH.
Ito road has made connections with Sherman
and Denison and all under this same manage.
ment, instead of placing a train Of psssen.
ger Cars on the line rs the interests and con-
venieLce of travel demand, we are coolly
informed that we must wait until the Missouri
Pacific is completed to Fort Worth, when
two regular trains day will be placed on the
road from that point to connect with other
trains at Denison and Sherman, and single
Car will probably be run from Dallas once
day to Denton to connect US with that road.
Again discrimination in freights have long
been CHARGED against this road, and delays in
shipments of goods are Of constant
occurrence which must operate to the detri-
ment of the best interests Of our business
men. These are few of the ills suggesting
themselves TO my mind, that we labor under
by the unjust, aud, l think, unwarranted and
ungenerous conduct of the managers of those
roads. Can they be short-sighted enough to
think they can retsrd the growth and business
of Dallas by almost ignoring her claims to
any recognition at their hands? In the face
of all this opposition our city has
gone on, steadily increasing in wealth,
business prosperity and beauty, until
10 day she stands without rival
as the great commercial emporium of north
Texas. With the roads now projected and
building from here, it would not be wild or
visionary to predict that in five years from
to day Dallas will be the largest, most
beautiful and important city in our glorious
and magnificent state and those who would
hinder or obstruct her advancement by
Withholding he. just prerogatives and rights,
will feel all their efforts and wishes have
been futile and they can exclsim with the
poet:
"What Ia 1t all, in words of fire,
But vexing Of soul and a vain desire!''
