A Gainesville. Tex, di-patch says
President Donaldson of the Circle Belt
railway, on Wednesday bought ninety
acres of ground adjoining Era's town
plot, and the depot site was selected by
the citizens of the town On that ground.
1t is generally agreed that the shops
and roundhouse for the road will be
located in the northern part of Gaines
vile and the depot in the western por-
tiOn of the city.
A big railroad mass meeting was
held at the courthouse last night. En-
thusiasm was high and the Circle Belt

oughly gone over and everything sat
isfactorily adjusted, so that now there

would be entitled to.
Ofiicc of Mayor.
This seems to indicate a special provision
as to the Office of mayor, which should apply
to the present case, should the respondent
be found ineligible. If not then 1t must be
either because ineigibility does not give rise
to a vacancy in the sense in which the word
is here used, else because the general
term otherwise" is not broad enough to
cover a vacancy by that reason.
The opinion closes with the following;
When we observe the full and general
force of the exception to section 1O2, which
makes 1t applicable only where no other pro
vision can apply the existence of section 10.
referring specially TO the Office of mayor and
making n different provision, the unusually
broad special and general terms of the latter
section and on perhaps broader and more
potent grounds give effect to the manifest
general purpose to end the old regime as
speedily as possible and supplant it with
the new, we cannot escape the conclusion
that after the first city election and the time
when the mayor who should be then chosen
should have qualified 1t was the intention
that II the election should fail or the person
elected fail to qualify then the president OF
the council should exercise the office. The
former mayor, chosen under the repealed
charter, was not expected to in that event
continue In office.
SuIIiyan's Opinion.
Judge Sullivan opened his dissenting opin-
ion with the following:
at seems to me the decision of the court
is the result of strange perversion of the
statutory provisions quoted in the opinion.
The argument which leads to the conclusion
reached was not advanced by any of the
learned counsel for respondent and they
will doubtless be amazed and much chagrined
to learn that their client has at last sue
ceeded in the action without effective aid
from them"
Here he entered into discussion of the
points raised in relation to section 1872 of
the city charter as quoted in the majority
opinion and said:
Undoubtedly the legislature may, when
not restrained by the constitution, declare
what circumstances shall constitute a va
cancy in the office, but | nave always un-
derstood that in the absence of an express
statute a vacancy does not exist where there
is a person lawfully in possession of the
Office competent to exercise its functions and
invested with authority SO to do"
The closing paragraph of the dissenting
opinion is as follows:
1.-The decision on the demurrer was right;
the judgment of custer was in accordance
with the law and the facts and should be
adhered to. This important litigation, after
its eventfu career. should not end in
