for official misconduct by Evangelist
Wolf, particulars Of which have already
been published, was quashed in the may
or's court this morning, as the defend
ants counsel held that the complaint was
made by citizen Of Arkansas
In an interview with Col. Kelly, CON
tractor OF the water works, Col. Kelly
stated that he had now twenty-five skilled
mechanics working ON the stand-plpe,
which would be finished within twenty
days, and when completed would be one
OF the largest In the state, holding 255, 600
gallons. The well has also been enlarged
to a capacity OF 1000, 900 gallons. The
plpe-laying will be hnished within the
next week. The city council Of the
Arkansas side have been strongly urged
10 donate n sufficient amount to extend
the water on the East side. In all
probability they will, as IL would
greatly benefit property owners
IN the matter Of insurance
and protection. When completed IL will
not only be gratifying to property owners,
but "A great relief TO insurance companies.
Col Kelly says that everything will be
In working order and an abundant sup

DECATUR, Ten, May 26.-The largest
and most enthusiastic railroad meeting
that was ever held in Decatur was held
here yesterday. Col. G.. b. Pickett was
elected chairman and X. NJ. Collins sec
Rotary. Col. ID. A. Holman explained the
object Of the meeting, after which he
made report for the committee hereto
fore appointed to devise ways and means
to get another railroad to Decatur. After
the report of the committee, Capt. w. G..
Veal OF Dallas made sound, sensible
talk, showing where it would be to our
interest to cooperate with Dallas
and build road straight through, via
GRAPEVINE, to Decatur and the coal-nelds
OF Wise, Jack and Young counties, and
then on to Albuquerque, N. NJ, and from
Dallas to the pinertes OF Angelina, Tyler
and other southeastern counties After
his address subscription books were
opened and shares put at 500 each, and
In less than thirty minutes 200 shares were
taken We will only have to put up about
i0,O0Oi half OF which we have already.
The meeting then adjourned to meet
again at night, at which time Capt. Veal
again addressed the body, when gre at en-
ihusiasm prevailed aud property imme-
diately took rise. A flnance committee
was then appointed consisting of L. C
Mays, j. A. Weakly and r. E. Carswell
to solicit contingent fund to pay a man
to canvass for subscriptions, etc. 1t is
proposed TO push this enterprise right
ahead and get to work as soon as pos
sible, perhaps Dy August /. The CON
tracts will be let from Dallas to Decatur
me irst move. When that is done it will
be determined whether or not we will
build the Texas or Pineywoods end or
the New Mexico end.
