When seen last night Mr. Carroll said
that he had been delayed three days un-
expectedly in Chicago, resulting in his
being correspondingly late in arriving
at Austin. He said the report and
data furnished by his local representa-
tive, Mr. Wren, and his engineer, C. 1*.
Scrivener, were quite extensive, and
the individual points well taken. Mr.
Carroll and Mr. Eilers, accompanied by
Mr. Wren and Mr. Hosey, will start
out today on a trip ef inspection over
the territory between here and Lock-
hart. They will be met in Creedmoor
by several citizens of Lockhart, who
will meet Mr. Carroll with a view -of
presenting the territory adjacent to
Lockhart, and at Lockhart; also to
take up the matter of right of way,
franchises, etc.

servative and friendly lines. The members of both houses
sire fresh from the people upon this very important legis-
lative issue and they know more about what their respective
sections want than does any one else. As a natural conse-
quence ot varying views there wil be a wide divergence
of opinion at the opening of the discussion over this matter
and it wil be up to the members as a collective whole to
get something out of the chaos that will unquestionably
apply at the opening of the session. Their deliberations
will of necessity be slow and tedious at the outset, but it
is the opinion'of many that after a week’s discussion some
definKe plan of action can be successfully studied out and
qutokdy executed. That each and every member will repre-
sent his constituency to the best of his ability Is vouch-
safed by The Statesman, and in passing the matter up to
the legislators with the reception of the governor’s recom-
mendations thereon The Statesman as well as the people
of Texas have every confidence in the fact that the members
of the Twenty-ninth legislature will do their duty by the
people as they see it and that the result will be harmony
of thought and action. Such is unquestionably to be greatly
desired and in wishing them a harmonious and pleasant
session the prediction is also ventured that the result will

A report was received here yester-

men had fallen from a boat in the river
in the vicinity of the dam and that
one of them had been drowned. An
investigation developed that the men
had fallen from the boat, though both
escaped. There were six in the boat,

Fred Lewis of the comptro i r’s de-

ten to his cousin, Miss Frances Lewis
of Decatur. Texas, which throws con-
siderable U*Ht upon the family history*
of Mr. Lewis, much of which he had
beep unaware of. The most remark-
able fact in connection with the letter
is that it is written by a lady of 70
years of age and a distant relative of
Mr. Lewis. The letter is from Mrs. E.
Anna Dickerson of Bloomfield. N. J.,
and the composition and orthography is
faultless. The text of the letter is as
follows:
“Miss Frances Lewis, Decatur Texas.

in Morristown* my native place, for
the past ten days, and on my return

they were taken several years ago.
