Several citizens who were not salts
fed that the election of the city board
of education by the board Of mayor
and aldermen was legal last week
procured an injunction from Judge
Livingston, against the board of edu-
cation. On Monday night a large
meeting of our best citizens was held
at Odd Fellows Hall to consider the
matter, After consulting with the
dissatistie ! citizens, it was agreed that
a petition be presented to the mayor
and aldermen to declare the election
null and void, and then re.elect the
board of education. The board of
mayor and aldermen held a called
meeting Tuesday afternoon, when all
the members were present, and the
wishes of the citizens we're complied
with. The board of education re-
signed, we're then reelected, and the
town pays the cost Of the suit, which
is to be withdrawn. The board Of
education were called together Wed
nesday, when they reorganized by
electing the same officers and renew
ing the contract with the college fac
ulty as heretofore. There is now ne
question as to the legality of thu
whole matter, and both sides express
themselves satisfied. Hence all arr
pleased and everything moves along
smoothly.

MEXICO.
The Mexican National Railway at the
Mercy of the Government.

Cry or MEXICO, May l4.-Govern-
ment officials state that the concession
to the Mexican National railroad is In
serious danger OF forfeiture; that ac-
oording to article four OF the compa-
ny's modified contract of Jan. II, 1883,
the company bound itself to deliver
500 kilometers OF finished road 10 the
government In two years. BY the
same article 200 kilometers were TO be
on the Matamoras d Monterey
line, on which line work
was not to be suspended.
The time for compliance with the con-
tract was TO begin January H., 1888,
and the 500 kilometers were to have
been delivered on the nth of January
of this year. This was not done; only
100 kilometers Of the Matamoras *
Monterey line were delivered. The
company's concession now depends
upon the forbearance OF the govern
ment. The government can appoint
one appraiser, the company another
and these third, In case 1t Ia deemed
best to transfer the railroad 10 some
other company,
