| Dallas, November IA suit con-
testing the right of the Texas railway
company to charge four cents per
mile on trains where the PASSENGER
has failed to procure ticket has been
prematurely precipitated by the action
| of u conductor on the Texas g. Pacific
in ejectng S. NJ. Bond, n leading
merchant of Terrell, from the train NJ
n point between Terrell and Elmo.
Mr.. Bond boarded the train without
| purchasing Il ticket, and rendered
twerty cents for six miles fire to the
conductor, who insisted upon four
cents mile. Hot words ensued, and
Mr.. Bond was forcibly elected
| from the train and compelled
to plod his way homeward. During
his walk his Indignation rose to such
u pitch that he never sought his pillow
until suit for $4,000 damage had been
formally entered against the company
IN the kaufman county district court.
This bids fair TO Ice a cause ceicbre in
railway litigation, il being generally
understood that the railways propose
by this means not only to defend the
four cent clause but also TO test the
constitutionality of the law enacted by
the last legislature reducing tho pas
senger tasitf to three cents per
mile.
Considerable feeling has been arous-
ed at Terrell the site of the future
North Texas lunatic asylum, To cost |
S21O,00O, over the decision of the I
asylum board, consisting of the gov
ernor, comptroller and treasurer In
refusing to allow change in the
original contract, whereby stone may |
Ice substituted for brick in the founda- |
ton. Experts and all Others who have
any experience in building in this Sec
ton assert that owing to some unex-
planned phenomena OF the soil, brick,
when used in foundation work, softens
and causes the supcrstructure to crack,
This fact was duly made known to the
board, but they refused to allow
the change, unless made mt the con-
tractors expense, and building experts
say that another monument to penny
wisdom and pound foolishness Is being
erected.
