The case of Nancy Leach VS.. The
City of Texarkana, restraining said
city from closing College street was
decided by the supreme court Sat
urday in her favor. This cause was
tried in the Miller circuit court With
the same result, and was appealed.
The court in their opinion say;
"Texarkana being a city of the sec
ond class, the ordinance of its cOun-
Gil is void. The municipal authori-
ties of a city, or town cannot va
cate a street or any part oft with
out the authority of the legisla
ture." Thus an important question
of municipal authority is decided.

We took street car ride yester-
day over the entire system, and
must say that that portion OF
County avenue, where the city
council ordered cut down to grade,
and left the street on each side IS
or 20 inches higher than the track,
is disgrace to this the 10TH CEN

mixed indiscriminately and the
poor little mules must travel their
regular number of trips over this
piece of road from day light to II
o'clock at night. If the city coun-
ell wants to improve the streets
they should look further ahead
than to cut car canals in the mid
die of the road and leave them in

A GREAT RECEPTION.

Madrid, May o. G. p. m.)-Captain
Deschamps, of the Spanish auxiliary
cruiser Montserrat, which arrived un-
expectedly at Corunna Friday evening,
from Cienfuegos, having escaped the
American blockading ships, reached
Madrid this afternoon. In spite of the
existing state of siege, immense crowds
awaited his coming in the approaches
to the railway station. The station, the
palace and other prominent places were
cordoned by police.
The populace welcomed Captain
Deschamps with the widest enthusi-
asm, and the police surrounding the
carriage in which he rode were scarcely
able to restrain the surging crowd from
embarrassing the horses. Captain
Deschamps was driven to the Plaza de
Independence, to the residence OF
Marques Comillas. 1t is reported that
he has brought dispatches from Gen.
Blanco for Senior Sagasta. There was
no disturbance of order.
Senior Puigcerver, Minister of FL
nance. has submitted to the chamber a
bill temporarily reducing the duty on
coal to one peseta per ton. The Con-
servative press criticises the measure as
calculated to injure the native coal
industry.

ing at Paris, continue his negotiations
