GULF SHORE MATTERS.
The LIGHT understands from reliable
authority that at the time the appoint
ment of a receiver for the San antonio
and Gulf Shore road was affirmed in the
Appellate court, the officers of that road
had contract in escrO by the terms of
which money would have been imme-
diately forthcoming to pay all OutStand
ing Indebtedness and build and equip the
road to its terminus at the gulf.
The effect of that decision upon the
contract cannot be definitely stated, as
the matter is still in litigation, the COM
pany demurring TO the appointment, but
II leaves the signing of that contract at
the mercy of the other parties. 1t is GER
tainly matter of regret that everything
interfering with the construction of that
road seems to rise up and hit il in the face
just at the time when success seems GER
tain. The construction of the road is
what the people of this citv and the resi-
dents along the line earnestly desire and
the active prosecution OF the work will
be seen with genuine satisfaction.
Captain James Beaumont, general
livestock agent of the Southern Pacific,
headquarters at Victoria, arrived in the
