From out the yic.ssitudes through which
the old Texas Western has passed.. and tho
iriblilatioaa and uncertainties which have
eiouded it's cheqnered career, the road

inence and usefulness and may yet become
famous among the Iron highways OF Texas.
Last night Hon. II. NJ. Hall, general attor-
ncy Of the company, left here for New York
TO meet the capitalists who have ac-
quired all that is left OF The Texas West
ern, including it's franchises and right OF
way, and superintend the transfer into
their hands OF the entire properly.
Mr.. Hall has been expecting for some
time the summons which has called him
East, but has had To walt the final clos
Ing OF the deal ais well as the pleasure
and convenience OF those parbieS under
whose official direction ne moves IN the
premises. The order as already stated.
has at last come for the legal transfer Of
ths Dad to the new owners. ana iInne II ite-
gy that that Is done It Is expected active
operations In rehabilitating, building and
extending the line viii be inaugurated.
Mr. Hall says the combination that VIII

OF the enterprise depends, Is composed OF
rail Dad builders and capitalists from New
York. Philadelphia and Chicsgo, He ex-
pects TO return 10 Houston In about three
weeks.
