AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Galveston, Dec. 20-(Special.) 1.-The
court of civil appeals rendered an opinion
today in the suit of 7. p. Olcott ct al. VS..
the International and Great Northern
Railway company, on appeal from the
Harris county district court, which was
brought by the appellants to compel the
international and Great Northern railway
to surrender the Galveston, Houston and
Henderson railroad and its appurtances,
which they are operating under 80 year
lease to the exclusion of all other lines
seeking an inlet into Galveston over the
Galveston, Houston and Henderson rail
way. The court held that the case was
void because under the charter neither
party had right to execute said lease
and because it was opposed to public
policy. But as all parties had actively
participated i'll or consented to the trans
action they were precluded from COM
planning and were barred by delay. There
fore the decision of the lower court was
affirmed and the International and Great
Northern will continue to control and
operate the Galveston, Houston and Hen
derson railway. 1t is believed the case
will go up on appeal to the supreme court
of the state and that it's final determina-
ton will be made by the United States SUI
preme court.
