question: "Don't you think it will
place seven business men in very
re 1iculous attitude, 20 resign on
account of an advertisement, writ
ten and paid for by the line, and in
which not name is mentioned, and
which might fit any one of several
men in Waco" Mr.. Rotan replied:

There was no formal conference be-
tween the seven resigning directors.

to above, as / did,"
Now what seems so strange to me
is that seven men, a majority OF a
board of ID men, should agree to
do thing when there was no power
on earth to prevent them-then not
one of them to vote for the other
to resign-a thing agreed to. Mr..
Rotan said with emphasis at the
meeting, that it was not on my &C.
count These men surely did not
expect thus to serve notice on the
minority of the board, that they
would stick to each other.

or these seven resigners. Now in
fair justice to all these seven men,
l am informed that only four of
them had anything to do or say
about the advertisement.
Am l guilty or not guilty?
am very sorry, yes more, | am
keenly hurt, Inundated, that this
matter should have thus come up.
My heart was 80 fully set on the
cotton Palace. l am so sorry also
that any man should so live in our
city that any of these seven men
should apply my F. F. V-sm cad"
to him. Sorry that any of these
seven gentlemen should have
thought of such thing.
Yours truly,

ELECTRIC ROADS.
New Lines Shortly to Be
Constructed.
No More BobtaiI Cars on Turk
Street-ROute of the Metropoli-
tan to Be Changed.

The deal by which the Metropolitan
| Electric road becomes part OF the Market
street system was concluded yesterday.
although the final arrang ements will moi
be made for several DAYS yet. The terms
of the transaction are not made public,
but in a general way they may De said to
be upon the same basis as those which
governed the deal by which the big COM
bine was originally made a few months
ago. a transfer Of stock will be made,
the stockholders of the Metropolitan
simply putting all of their holdings into
the hands If the Market-street people and
accepting in exchange therefor specified
amount of Market-street stock.
There will be a number of mportant
changes made in existing lines as a conse-
quence of the present deal. and some new
lines will also be constructed. One change
will be made by which a new line will
continue ont Eddy street from Market to
DevISaderO, thence on Devlsadero to Page
and Frederick and thence to the park.
Returning the line will run down Devisa-
derO to Turk, thence to Mason, To Eddy
and thence TO Powell aud Market. The
line will be operated by electricity and
the necessary arrangements can be made.
The present line followed by the Met
ropolItan Company leaves Eddy street at
Taylor, but the new line will continue out
Eddy TO Devisadero. The cause of the
change from Scott TO DevlsaderO is that
the grade is evener on the latter street.
The entire Metropolitan system will also
undergo a change of gauge that of the
Market-street system being adopted.
The present horsecar tracks on Turk
street will be removed and electricity SUBJ
stituted, the course of that line being
down Turk TO Mason and thence to Powell
and Market.
Another important change will be made
in the present OFarrell-street line. After
turning up Hyde il will swerve off at
Ellis and run down to the junction at
Market. making the terminus there in
stead of at EDDY. The line will also be ex-
tended to Devsadero street. branching at
that point 10 both the north and south.
DeVsadero street. will comprise the only
entirely new work that will be done, but
that on Turk street will be practically new.
as electricity will be substituted tor the
bobtail-cars.
TIE change in the Metropolitan Railway
will naturally result in official decapita-
ton for some of the men who at present
direct the affairs of the road, but just what
changes will be made are not yet known.

TIE Opening of Buena Vista Avenue.
The general outlook for tho opening OF
Buena Vista avenue west of Fifth street,
and also west of Seventh. in the near fu-
ture is most encouraging. The objection
made by some of the property-owner
was that the land was leased for agricul-
tural purposes and the lease had some
time TO run. But the Board of City
Trustees 0verruled this opposition, and it
looks as though some amicable arrange
ment will be arrived az and the work early
accommodated.

and after being locked up just long
enough to convey the committees united

were invited into the chambers.

famer.

and read the verdict of the committee, as
follows:
We, the committee OF investigations TO whom
