RAILROAD MEASURE VETOED.
HOUSTON AND TEXAS CENTRAL
TURNED DOWN BY SAVERS.

Denied the Right to Absorb Small
Feeders 10 Its System-Suit Pend
ing for Forfeiture Of the Charter
of the Austin and Northwestern.
If Successful Many other Roads in
Texas VIII BE Similarly Sued.
. Houston, Tex, May 16.-Gov. Sayers to-
day vetoed a bill granting the Houston
and Texas Central the right 90 absorb 'cer-
tain small feeders, which are now operated
separately. Among them is the Austin
and North western Railroad.
A suit has been pending for several
months in the district court of Travis
against the Austin and Northwestern Rail-
road Company. the state of Texas being
the plaintiff, for the forfeiture of its char
ter, upon the ground that the stock of said
company is owned and controlled by the
Southern Pacific Company corporation
existing under and by virtue of the law OF
the state of Kentucky without permit TO
do business in this stale. The Governor,
in vetoing the bin, calls attention 10 this
case, and says:
Such exercise of ownership and control
of the stock of the Austin and Northwest
ern Railroad by the Southern Pacific Com
pany is believed to be consolidation with
in the meaning of the laws of this state
and contrary to. and in direct violation of
section and article 10 of the constitution
and the statutes which deny to all cor
pora lions organized under the laws of
states other than Texas, the right to do
business in Texas without first obtaining
a permit"
The veto message can be, and is con-
strued in only one way, and that is that if
the state be successful in its suit against
the Austin and Northwestern, Railway,
which is "a test case, similar suits will be
filed against other Huntington roads,
which are very numerous in South Texas,
including the Texas and New Orleans, the
Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio,
the Houston and Texas Central the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass, and about
twenty-five short lines

JOSEPH MEDILL Is DEAD.
Leading Chicago Journalist anu
an Original Republican,.

Chicago, March 16.-Word was received
here to-day from San Antonio, Tex, thst
Joseph Mednl, proprietor of the Chicago
Tribune died there early this morning.
Joseph Medill was born at St. John, New
Brunswick. OF Sco;ch-Irish parents, in 1923.
In 1881 his parents removed to Ohio and
settled on a farm. Young Medin worked
on the farm until he was about 10 years
old, attending school in the winter. He
attended the Massilon Academy prepare
tory to entering college, but he never found
time to take a college course. When he
became of age, choosing the law as a pro-
fession. he read in the Office of Judge Bel
den at Canton, o. He was admitted to the
bar in 1876. Three years later however. he
virtually abandoned the law for journal
ism. He was one of the original Republic
cans. Indeed, he had much to do with Civ
ing the party its name. His first editorial
work was on the Coshocton Wing, which
he renamed the Republican. Later he es-
tablished the Daily Forest City of Cleve-
land. Through the medium of this paper,
in 1850, he spat upon the Baltimore plat
FORM" which Endorsed the fugitive slave
law. In 1858 Mr. Medi.l consolidated sew
eral Cleveland newspapers under the name
of the Leader; which journal is now in
prosperous existence. In 1855 he moved
to Chicago, where he purchased a large
interest in the Tribune of that city. Since
that time he has been the editor and lead
ing spirit of the Tribune and has made il
one of the leading Republican journals of
the country, notwithstanding the paper
has at some times differed with the party
in matters of public policy. Mr.. Medill
was identified with about all of the great
strides of the progress taken by Chicago
which have resulted in making her one OF
| the foremost cities of the world.

CARTER WAS IN CONTEMPT.
An Important Decision Handed
Down in Virginia.

Down IN virginia
Richmond, Va, March 16,-The Supreme
Court of Appeals handed down to-day a
decision which is of great importance to
Virginia judges and lawyers.
The appellant, Carter was sentenced TO
fine and Imprisonment for contempt of
court He obtained a writ of error, the
errors assigned being, first, that upon the
facts, as shown in the record, he was not
guilty of a contempt; second, that the
court erred in refusing to have a jury
empanelled for his trial.
The opinion of the Supreme Court says
the facts show Carter to have been guilty
of a contempt, and the court holds that
no error was made in refusing jury trial.
Therefore the judgment of the.lower court
is affirmed. This case is of special inter-
est, because it involved the constitution
ahty of the Saunders BILL passed at the
last session of the legislature.
IL will be recalled that Hon. w. G. Saun-
ders of Franklin introduced a measure to
carry into effect in the state courts the
publications of what is known as the "In-
junction plank" in the Chicago platform.
His measure was designed to take from
the courts the power TO punish for con-
Temps committed out of The presence of
the courts, and TO provide for the trial by
jury of such cases.
