The strsnt Railway Question.

The people of Fort Worth are dis
cussing with much interest the street
railway question, and the discussion
has been much intensified by recent
developments. TO comply with the
evident demand THE GAZETTE de-
tailed special reporter to investigate
the status OF the imbrogllo, for such it
may be termed, and report his research
aud deductions for publication. This
has been done, and now it seems to
