We find the following important rail-
road news. in the Oseeola (Mlssouril
Herald of q late date. @The friends of
the Kansas City and Memphis road in
Henry country went before the Board Of
Directors Of the Tebo and Neosh0 com
pany, at Sedalia, on the 18th day Of the
present month, and asked for a branch
charter, for two branch railroads, one
from Clinton to Kansas City, to be called
| the Cliuton aud Kansas City Branch OF
| the T. and N. r. r the other from Gin
ton. south to the State line In the direc-
ton of Memphis, and to be called the
! Clinton and Memphis Branch Of The Z.
and N. r. R., the two making substsn-
TALLY the Kansas City and Memphis
railroad, This request was fAvorably COZ
! sidered and the two branches ordered in
compliance with the provisions of their
| charter, and of the law OF 1858 90 aid the
building of branch roads.
They then appointed Committees OF
Construction for each Branch, and vested
the same rights and powers with these
committees as regarded their branch
roads as the Board of Directors them
selves had in the management of their
main line, and which makes the manage
ment of the branches entirely distinct
from that of the main line.
TIE Committee of Construction for the
Clinton and Memphis branch appointed
by the Tsbo and Neosho Board Of Direc-
tors are D. G. Stone, A. D. La Due, r. @.
McBeth, Waldo p. Johnson and X. s.

gauized with ID. G. Stone as Chairman, r.
s. Graham, Secretary.
The Committee of Construction for the
other branch are d. G. Stone, P A. La
/ R,Due,C MeBeth and Ada Due. Upon
organizing, the same officers were elected
as for the other branch.
The Committee of Construction of the
Clinton and Memphis Branch having be-
come a legal body corporate under the
laws of the State, went before the County
Court on Monday last and asked that, in
asmuch as the Kansas City and Memphis
Railroad Company have no legal exist
ence as now organized, and that as the
branch which they represented intended
to build a road on the same line, or in the
same general direction, that b subscrip-
tions already made in compliance with
the petitions of the people to the Kansas
City and Memphis Company, and which
that company had not or could not re-
ceive, it having no legal existence, be
transferred TO the Clinton and Memphis
Branch of the TehO and Neosho railroad.
The matter was thoroughly invest1ga-
ted by the Court during Monday and
Tuesday, and the status OF the organiZa-
ton having been fully explained, the
Court on Tuesday afternoon made the de-
sired order.
