RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Commissioners Reagan and Fo
ter were still absent from the
city leaving only Judge Mclean at
his post of duty. About noon the
news of the decision of Judge McCor-
mick, granting the injunction against
the commission as prayed for by the
railroads was received by wire from
Dallas. 1t was quite surprise to the
official family but not an agreeable
surprise by any means. In the after
noon Attorney General Culberson
waited on Commissioner Mclean and
the two proceeded to hold sad and
fearful inquest over the remains of
their dead darling. The attempt to
reach a verdict was abortive however
as nothing can be done until the in
junction comes up for final hearing
at the next term of the Federal court
here in Austin next October.
