with the international & Great Northern
Railroad. The other suit is for $4,000
damages for alleged violation of
contract to furnish ties. The par
ties suing allege that they have
spent $4,000 preparing to fulfill these con-
tracts, and ask consequential damages, on
account of being deprived of the benefit of
the contracts, had they been carried out.
As already stated, about one-half of the in
debtedness of the road was rep
resented at the Dallas meeting yes
terday. By some of the creditors present,
it is also asserted that not more than one
third of the Indebtedness ii as much as
that, is held by the kaufman creditors !;
also, that the kaufman creditors were the
parties to the. movement for receiver !;
also (as before stated), that the creditors
present. at the Dallas meeting had expressed
themselves as unanimously opposed, in
the informal discussion of the question:
to the appointment of receiver, But
it will be seen that on yesterday morning
at kaufman, Judge Clark, presiding over
the District Court of that county, as a chan
cellor, and at the instance of Kaufman
creditors, and of all such others as might
desire to join with them, placed the Texas
Trunk Railroad in the hands of receiver,
there arresting all attachments and other
like proceedings. The following decree of
the court more fully explains the situation;
