tho elevated raj ways Of New York city. The
oomplslnt oiI "Old or zen" regarding depots.,
Ices, etc., In tbis city, are wei
timed aud true. Tho managers OF
ths. lin appreciate the fact; and while they
regret II. at they are so, stops have been
taken TO construct a depot, which will not
only accommodate the travelling public; bul
will be AN ornament to the city. The charge
of discrimination against Dallas In favor OF
Fort Worth is altogether too frivolous TO
consider. Let any one interested Examine
passenger and freight tariffs and they can
at once be convinced hat oil rates
arc less to Dallas than Fort worm
The railroad people disburse more money
each nav dsy at Dallas than at Fort Worth.
Where then, Is the great injustice done
Dallas. and where has Fort Worth been
benefited to the detriment of Dallas? 1t is
all bosh. In regard to the running OF trains
railway. "Old Citizen" must
wait lust five days, when that road
will be completed, when he and the public
will be afforded the best of railroad accomma -
dations. Mr.. Jay Gould, General Dodge,
Major Hoxie. Colonel Talmage, and all other
gentlemen directly connected with the man
agement of the lines Of railways
referred to by "Old Citizen" and your
editorial, have the kindest feelings
toward the people of Dallas, and appreciate
the fact that she sis on a plane of greatness
aud prosperity far above the reach or iujury
of any powerful monopolies," and that her
prosperity adds additional value to the great
enterprises which have been intrusted to their
hands by capitalists Of all nations:

A Lively ROW.

Last night after the return Of the picnlcers
a man by the name of Gunter, who was
drunk, attacked and began abusing a young
man who was coming home with Gunter's
step daughter. 1t is said that pistols
were. drawn and a fatal termination
would certainly have been the result ofthe
quarrel had not officers and Others i%nterfer-
ed. 1t then took four or five officers,
policemen and deputy sherifs to effect
Gunter's arrest, owing to the fact that the
officers did not desire to hurt him. He was
finally Jailed however.

Railroad Suit.

The conflict between the Missouri Pacific
and the Texas g. st. Louis roads at Waco as
to which road had the right to a piece OF
ground in east Waco, has not resulted in
a riot as was feared between the forces OF
the two roads, but the filing of an Injunction
suit in the United States district court here
by W, M. Herman, Gould's attorney for
the Missouri Pacific, which has been granted
by Judge Mccormick. Both roads claim
the land. The Texas & st. Louis road has
laid about one hundred feet of track on The
ground, and the Missouri Pacific road claims
that it has bought the land and paid the pur-
chase. money for it. The following is the
order of the court:
United States of America, Northern District
of Texas, Ia the United States Circuit Court:
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas Hallway
Company VS. the Texas Il st Louis Railway
Company. In chambers.
Upon fling of compliments bill praying

is hereby ordered that said defendant show
cause before me at Dallas, Texas, on Thurs
day, the 18th of May, 1881, at 10 o'clock a.
M, in the United States court ROOM, why
the prayer of said complainant should not
be granted end preliminary Injunction issue
as prayed Tor. And it is further ordered
that in the meantime said defendant, the
Texas s. st. Louis railway company, its
agents. contractors, workmen, servants and
laborers be restrained from inter-
