ANSWER FILED.
The Street Railway Company Asserts
That It Is a Solvent, Paying Concern.
The answer of the defendants in the case
of the L). A. Tompkins Co. vs. the Galves-
ton City railway company et al., for the
appointment of a receiver, was filed with
Clerk Dart in the United States circuit
court yesterday. The different suits, their
trials and present standings are enumerat-
ed in detail in the answer. Speaking of
the sale of the engines, the payment for
which the Tompkins company sued origi-
nally, the defendants say that the sale
price, $50, was all they were worth and
that the Tompkins company bid them in
at that.
In reply to the allegations that the rail-
road company is Insolvent they answer
that It is entirely solvent and owes no past
due obligations, nor any that it is unable
to meet, and that its gross earnings for
1894 were $199,133.35 and its net earnings, af-
ter paying all expenses, including damage
suits and compromises, taxes and insur-
ance, was $67,725.87; that the interest on
the entire bonded indebtedness being $50.-
OoO per annum, a clean surplus of $17,725.87
remains, out of which a dividend of 25
cents per share of the capital stock,
amounting to $5000, was paid January 10,
1895. The earnings for 1895, up to April 24,
show an Increase over those of the same
period in 1894 of $4780.05, while the ex-
penses had increased only $296.65 during the
same time. The floating indebtedness of
the company on April 1, 1895, is $18,335.17,
all of which, except $2456.76, has been in-
curred since the sale of bonds described in
the bill and the amount excepted the cred-
itor is satisfied to renew. This floating
debt was incurred partly for the purchase
of an undivided one-half interest in the
northeast quarter of outlot 118, Galveston,
valued at $8000, $4250 for shares of stock in
the Gulf land company and material for
the reconstruction of the Woollam's lake
line and for stores.
In answer to another allegation the de-
fendants say that the value of the plant is
$1,500,000, while the bonds amount to $1,000,-
000 only. This was a consolidated mort-
gage, taking up and superseding all of
said railway company's existing indebted-
ness, bonded and otherwise, $300,000 of the
proceeds of the sale of which bonds were
used to redeem outstanding bonds and the
balance to pay debts incurred in the recon-
struction and equipment of nearly forty
miles of electric street railway in Galves-
t'on. Before and after the road was elec-
trically equipped and for more than ten
years past it has earned more than a.11 its
expenses and interest charges, and aside
from said bond issue is practically free
from debt. A list of stockholders is at-
tached.
GALVESTON'S NEiW CHARTER.
It Has Become a Law Without the Gov-
ernor's Signature—Mayor Fly Talks.
Mayor Fly, Captain Nick Weekes and
Captain McDonald returned from Austin
yesterday morning, where they had been
called by Representative Splllane in refer-
ence to the city charter. Mayor Fly was
seen early in the afternoon, at which time
he declined to talk about the matter, pre-
ferring, as he put it, "not to pull the
watermelon until it is ripe." About G
o'clock he was handed the following tele-
gram:
"Austin, Tex., April 25.—To Fly, McDon-
ald and Weekes, Galveston: Galveston bill
has become a law. C. A. CULBERSON."
The mayor was not disinclined to talk
after that, considering the "melon" ripe,
and in the presence of the other members
of the committee, stated briefly the cause
of the whole commotion.
"We were not called to Austin by the
governor, but by the Galveston representa-
tives there. Senator Lasker had voted to
pass some bill or other over the governor's
veto. Later when he called on the gov-
ernor and asked him if he were going to
sign the Galveston charter amendments
Culberson replied that he didn't know
whether he would sign it or not and that
it didn't make much difference, as it would
be passed over his veto anyhow. The gov-
ernor told him that he had a protest from
Galveston people about the issue of $200,-
000 worth of bonds to pay off the floating
Indebtedness on the ground that the city
was sufficiently taxed now."
"Who signed that protest?"
"I don't know. I did not ask and prob-
ably would not have found out if I had.
But we were sent for and I went up load-
ed to the guards with faots and statistics.
We had a talk with the governor. While
he gave no definite answer he told us to
•rest easy.' I felt confident that he would
not veto the bill when I left and expected
him to do as he has done, permit it to be-
come a law without his signature."

will be opened this morning to allow those
who purchased tickets for the benefit of
Manager Dave A. Weis to exchange them
for reserved seat coupons. The benefit will
be "A Pair of Kids," given by Ezra Ken-
dall, the date Monday, April 29. There will

The benefit tickets are good only for the
night performance. Matinee will begin at

Ezra Kendall In the familiar figure of
Jiles Button, the old countryman, promises
to keep the audience in a continual roar
from the time his exceedingly funny make-
up shows itself until the curtain closes in
the last act. People laugh because they
can not help it, everything is so extremely
funny. "A Pair of Kids" is a play which
does not grow old, and a person can laugh
as heartily at Its ludicrous situations now
as when it llrst came out ten years ago.
The company is a strong one and the
musical and dancing specialties new and
attractive.

"Beneath the stars and stripes General J.
B. Gordon stood last night in the Academy

Days of the Confederacy.' The large au-
dience he addressed was a notable one.
Prominent men from every profession
laughed at the humor of the speaker, wept
at his pathos and applauded his senti-
ments as he dwelt upon the scenes and
character of the great struggle."
