THE OTHER SIDE.
A Few Interesting Facts of the Gulf
Shore Railroad Case.

An answer to the petition Of William
Davis. ct al, for the appointment OF a
receiver, was fled by the San Antonio
and Gulf Shore Railway company yester-
day. 1t is alleged that William Davis
withdrew the $780, worth of bonds from
the Farmers Loan and Trust company
without the consent OF the board of direc-
tors and delivered S230,0OO thereof to
George Dullnig and ii. o Engelke in pay
ment for construction and equipment
of the line, and the remaining $1,000 o
were delivered to John Scott, OF New
York, to secure the latter In the pay
ment of the cOmpany,S alleged obligation,
although MeSSrS. Scott, Dullnlg ana
Engelke were joint contractors and bound
themselves to build and equip the road,
and for which the defendant corporation
was in no way bound uni the road had
been duly built, which has not yet been
done.
II is further believed that Davis placed
the bonds beyond the control OF the cor
poratiOn for the purpose Ct cOerc-
ing the board of directors into re-
tanning him in It's employ as
president and general manager and to
force the board to ignore charges against
Davis for official misconduct and asking
for his removal.
Davis Is charged In the answer with
having taken the book of minutes and
resolutions, the seal, the charter and by
laws from the possession of Robert E..
Sadler, secretary of the company, without
authority from the board of directors, and
has refused to restore them. 1t is also
charged that Davis has attempted to is
sue certificates OF stock.
The answer AYERS that Davis claims as
his individual property deeds and bonds,
for title given by the yeople along the
line for building and constructing the
road. intended as bonus to the company.
Defendant especially denies that there
is any controversy between the defendant
corporation and the said construction
company for the possession of the cOrpO-
rate property, but AYERS and charges that
these plaintiffs, in order to vex and haraSS
defendant corporation and TO force and
coerce it into recognizing the authority OF
William Davis, are claiming the posses
sion thereof In the name of the said con-
struction company, and the said pretend
ed authority OF said William Davis and
his cO-plaintffS is a sham and device to
avoid being committed for contempt in
violating the orders of the District

English Opera

1t is doubtful il the anticipation of any
musical event in recent years has been
traught with more genuine pleasure to
opera lovers in this city than that which
is attached to the appearance of the
Tavary Grand English Opera company at
the Opera house, beginning next Wednes-
day night. Nor is the interest a purely
local one, for inquiries have been received
by the management of the Opera house
for choice seats from out of town during
grand opera week" The repertoire OF
the company has been announced, and
week of the favorite lyric classics has been
arranged for. OF the company, which has
been playing 10 audiences limited only by
the capacity Of the houses in the various
cities, 1t may be said that II is the largest
and strongest entOur this season, and It's
rendition of the grand music OF Verdi,
Gounod, Wagner and MaScagni has been
accorded the warmest praise by the critics
everywhere.

ARMY NEWS.

REPORTED SPECIALLY FOR THE LIGHT.
Last evening, when the troops marched
into the mess hall after mess call, the
food served did not meet with their APP
probation. This they expressed by beating
a tattoo on their plates with their knives
ann forks. The food served consisted of
the army dish known as "Slum in
fatigue" bread and coffee. The steward
in charge made an attempt to stop the
noise. which he would suppress in one
end of the hall TO be continued, however,
in another. Finally supper was finished
and the troops filed out. This morning
the bill Of fare consisted OF ''sIum
la target PASTE" bread and coffee.
This the men declined 30 eat. all leaving
the mess hall in body, their breakfast
remaining untouched. Some Of the more
radical ones gave vent to their long pent
up feelings on the Post mess system by
exercising their lungs. The above is a
true description OF the event as it took
place, and from military standpoint
was very poor way of diSapprOval. The
objections Of all could be placed before
the proper authority by committee OF
two men from each organization and GER
tainly would have had as much effect as
the disOrderly manner in which 1t was
done.
A laughable incident in connection with
the affair was the case OF
