SATURDAY HAPPENINGS.

The railroad commission yesterday
took action in the matter of the applica-
ton of the Trinity, Cameron and West
Pm railroad asking for authority to issue
Ind register first mortgage bonds in a
bum not exceeding $21,0 900 per mile be-
tween Georgetown and Granger, and from
laid city of Georgetown into and through
the city of Austin at not exceeding sd 900
per mile between the two points, and for
the distance through the city of Austin
1t sum not exceeding 100000 per mile.
The request for this issue is also accom-
panied by an application for the revoca-
ton of the former order of the commission
authorizing the Georgetown and Granger
road to issue bonds.
The commission declined to grant said
application on the grounds that the com.
mission can not revoke the authority here
tofore granted the Georgetown and
Granger road for the issuance of bonds,
and recognize that the authority has inur-
ed to the benefit of the Trinity, Cameron
and Western, for the reason that 1t Is
made manifest that there are outstanding
and unsatisied liabilities against the
Georgetown and Granger road, and for
the further reason that it appears that
there is no executed contract by which
the property of said Georgetown and
Granger company has been conveyed to
Frank Hamilton, under whom the Trini-
ty, Cameron and Western railroad claims
title.
Not through any desire to handicap the
road, but purely on facts as outlined
above, is the application refused, and as
soon as the company complies with the
necessary requirements in the premises
they may make successful application.
Circular No. 256-It is ordered that no.
tice be, and the same is hereby given to
all parties interested, that the railroad
commission of Texas will, on May ~
1896, at its office in Austin, consider the
application to it submitted by the Calves
ton, Harrisburg and San Antonio Rail,
way company, for authority to cancel its
local freight tariff No. 3, issued January
II, 1893, and providing the. following
rates, in cents per 100 pounds, for the
transportation of merchandise by classes
between Ell Paso and the points named
below, on account of wagon competi'

YOUR BOY WON'T LIVE A MONTH.

So Mr.. Gilman Brown OF 81 NH street,
South Gardner, Mass, was told by the
doctors. His son had lung trouble, fol-
lowing typhoid malaria, and he spent
1875 with doctors, who finally gave him
up, saying: "Your boy won't live a
month";" He tried DIR. Kings New Dis
to health and enabled him to 60 to work
a perfectly well man. He says he owes
his present good health to the use of
DR.. Kings New Discovery, and knows
it to be the best in the world for lung
trouble. Trial bottles free at G. U.
