and DR.. Mayfeld, the present incumbent,
is to be reappointed State quarantine Of
ficer at this port, The announcement from
Austin of this appointment is expected to
be made within the next ten days.
This has been hard fight and for a long
time the result was In doubt DR.. Burke
and Dir. Sykes were also applicants for tile
place. DR.. Sykes, however, dropped out
early, leaving the contest to Mayfleld and
Burke. Tho latter had excellent indorse-
ments, which ordinarily would have won
him the place. but 1t is said that influence
outside of Galveston came to Mayfeld's
support, which was strong enough to land
him.
The position OF State quarantine officer
is an important one and will become more

SUIT FOR RoNps.

The Houston City Street Railway com
pany brought suit in the civil district court
here today against Adoue & Iobii, baI-
kers, for the possession OF sixteen honda
issued By the company. amounting In value
to $4,000. f. NJ. Beissncr, administrator OF
the estate OF the late William II. Sinclair,
is also made a party defendant to the suit.
The petition sets forth that in 1884 a reso.
luton was passed by the stockholders uu-
thorizing tho directors OF the Houston
street Railway company to Issue bonds TO
the amount of $4,000 for every mile of
road then in operation. Bonds wero Issued
to the amount OF 100000. which were
bought by the American Loan and Trust
company OF New York To make long
story short. II may be said that additional
bonds were issued In 1885, more road hav
ing been completed In the meantime. Tho
charge Is then made that the American,
Loan and Trust company turned sixteen
Of the last issue OF bonds over TO William
II. Sinclair In person. while he should have
held them as trustee for the road.
Sinclair later moved to Galveston, aud
in 1897 he died intestate. and r. w. Bess-
ner was appointed administrator of his
estate. The sixteen bonds of the Houston
City Street railway thus passed to his pos
session The petition alleges that In 1898
Beissner sold the bonds In question TO
Messrs. Adoue & Lobit for $4,000. AS hold-
ers of the bonds they threaten to bring
suit for their payment Tho Houston
Electric Street Railway company is also
claiming an interest In the bonds.
Upon hearing OF the suit plaintiff asks
to be awarded possession of the bonds. al
leging that title was never vested in Sin
clair and that therefore the subsequent
holders of them have taken the property
subject to the superior lien Of the plaintiff.
