Car nuiidinw In Houston

reporter Of The Post had an emporium
lily yesterday to inspect the instruction.
ear now being built at the Houston and
Texas Central shops for the compauy's
use. This car. when comnle:ed. will con-
tain all the appliances pertaining TO air
brakes. Indicators. electrical mechanism
for lighting Gurposes. train signals and in
fact everything In and about the modern
mechanical departments OF strictly first
class railroads. This instruction car Is
thoroughly I'D to date and will he a great
ueom.sition to the employees of the road
The reporter had also an opportunity
TO inspect the extensive locomotive buili-
ing now in progress in the main shop of
the COMPANY. likewise the fine passenger
coaches that are being constructed. and
wbilp pursuing his INVESTIGATION he was
particularly pleased and surprised with The
superior order of skilled workmanship, cS-
hlbited in every department, For beauty
of design and elaborate finish 1t would be
diffiIault To equal the magnificence OF the
private car now being built in the Houston
shops for the Austin and Northwestern
railroad. and it is safe 10 say that the high
grade machinery and CONTINENTS now in
use in the Houston and Texas Central rail-
road shops at Houston can not be exceled
by those of any other road in the South.

THE INJUNCTION SERVED
The State Has Already Begun Preparations
to Fight.
PLAN OF ACTION HAS BEEN AGREED UPON.
Marks n Critical Period In the
Commissions History.

i Austin, Texas. November MIR. Krutt-
schnitt OF New Orleans reached the city
| this morning from Dallas and filed with
4 United States District Clerk Hart the
Hills of complaint and exhibits prepared
| in support OF the injunction against the
| railroad commission made by the bonf-
holders of the Texas roads, hearing on
which will be had at Dallas on November
| 10. He also brought and filed the order
OF Judge Mccormick restraining the COM
mission from enforcing It's new cotton tar
| lff which was to have gone into effect to-
day. until the general application is dig
passed Of.
Soon after the filing OF the latter pro-
cess issued and the attorney general and
the railroad commission were served with
copies thereof. while others were prepared
ami mailed for service uron the representa-
tives of deSe roads interested in the prayed
for injunction, said roads having been
made parties TO the suit by the bondhold
ers. Mr.. Kruvtschnitt left for New Orleans
at noon.
Soon after service OF the notice referred
to the governor, attorney general and com
mt sioners held q, brief conference at which
the States plan OF action WAS outlined
and later on Judge Brown of the supreme
court WIS called into consultation by tho
commissioners This evening evidtaaes
OF preparation for the coming struggle were
plainly visible about the departments in
terested therein, ann it may be expected
THAT work in the case will be rushed under
"a full head of steam from now on until
November 10.
In referring TO the matter tonight, Com
missioner Mayfeld said that he considered
this d most critical period in the history
nf the commission, the question ut issue
right to control corporations whioh owed
their lines to their consent and that fur
thermore 1T WAS a question of whether or
not Texas should be forced to depend on
st. Louis or New Orleans as supply points
or be permitted to establish supply points
of its own within its borders
The railroad commission has received APP
plication from the Chicago Rock Island
and Texas for exemption from the new cot
ton tariff temporarily enioined by Judg6
Mccormick and similar applications are
expected from the othsr roads not parties
10 the injunctions proceeding. As was
done when the commission was similarly
situation on a former occasion. this apDli-
cation will doubtless be granted
