The Granite Building.

The elegant business house which
Messrs. Pauly & Dielmann have
erected at No. 306 East Commerce
street, for the accommodation of
their extensive wholesale and re-
tail building material business, is
about completed, and only the fin
ishing touches by the painters
brush remain to be attended to
and in three or four days all will
be finished. The entire front of
this structure is built exclusively
of granite, three different kinds
having been used, the same was
procured from the quarries at Bur-
nett, LlanO and Fredericksburg re-
spectively. The show windows
and doors are all provided with
heavy plate glass, and the building
throughout is constructed in the
same massive style as is expressed
in the front.
In the construction of this gran
lite front the style now prevailing
in the east has been followed to
great extent, which is a new de-
parture from the general style fol-
lowed heretofore, and it's imposing
appearance is daily commented on
by the great mass of people, whose
business up and down East Com
merce street brings them in view
of this building. AS this house is
the first one ever erected in this
city whose front is exclusively of
of granite, it will be known here
after as the Granite Building.
This building has a front Of
twentyeight feet and a depth Of
one hundred and twenty-five feet !;
the basement will be used for stor-
ing asphalt, roofing pitch, asphalt
paint, tar and such other nonper-
ishable articles as are handled by
this firm. On the first floor will
be stored such materials as ce-
ments, plaster paris, fire clay, NOR
tar colOrs, deadening felt, roofing
felt, tar paper, building paper of
all kinds ornamental brick, etc,
while the second floor will be de-
voted to Office rooms of which
there are nine, all comfortably
arranged. These rooms can now
be inspected and engaged at rea-
sonable rent; the stair entrance is
from the front and the entire
building is provided with electric
lights. 1926 1t

Railroad News.

Railroad News.
A temporary injunction restrain
ing the |. & G. n. from interfering
with a contract entered into on

with the q. H. & H., whereby the
NJ. X. d T. secures the right-Of-way
for its trains over the railway of
the G. H. & H., from Houston into
Galveston, has been issued. The

q. H. Il H.. for the past ten years
under lease executed by the late
Jay Gould for ninety-nine years,
when he was president of the q.
H. & H., and was operating it in
connection with his Missouri Pa
cific system, of which the |. & G..
n. was part.
The NJ. X. & T. seeks to have the
lease set aside, and has been sue
cessful in concentrating a con-
tract with the q. III. & H. for Coop
Grafton, whereby trains of the NJ.
X. d T. are permitted to enter Gal
weston. The |. & g. \. is cited to
appear before court on August II,
and show cause why the injunc-
ton should not be made perpetual.
The plaintiffs were required to give
bond for $4,000. The writ re-
strains the l. q G. n. from in any
way interfering with the NJ. X. &
L. in any way carrying out their
contract with the G. H. & H. tits
stated that the NJ. X. q Il. will run
their trains into Galveston in the
next few days. Further develop
ments are now largely awaited by
all interested parties.
