Railroad stockholders. Out OF the 100, 900
shares Col. William M. Duncan was
thought to have controlled 63,000 in

resentative of the company, who went to
Tracy City to bring those who might
report there on TO Nashville, came back
alone. He found some OF them there, but
they declined to attend the meeting here
and returned home. They were evidently
with Mr.. John H. Inman and the mi
nority and realized that the humiliation
OF defeat was theirs. Such of the mi
nority faction rs were here and in the
