company was organized here known a.
the Kentucky & Great Eastern, with Col
s. W. Morton, of New York, as Presi
dent A. ]. HOoder, Vice President, and
besides these, as directors, Gems. Ere
mont and Banks, Mass, Judge Cutter
Marietta, j. M. Duke, MAysville, and Jas
T. Brady, Pittsburgh. This was ostensl
bly, to construct q railroad from Cincin.
natl to CAtlettsburg, KY, under a charter
granted by the Kentucky Legislature last
year. This then did not attract much at
iention, II now appears that It was but q
small part Of the purpose; that the real
plan was to build another railroad from
Cincinnati TO New York city, through
Kentucky and across West Virginia tC
Point OF Rocks in Virginia, thence by
roads now constructing through York and
Reading, Penn, TO the eastern terminus
II Is stated the company has purchased
the franchises and property Of tho Mays
vile & Big Sandy Railroad, which Is to
become part OF the line OF those in the
interest Of the claim, This will be by
measurement one hundred and twenty
miles shorter from Cincinniti to Now
York than the route by the Pennsylvania
Central, the shortest existing line, and in
equalling distances, by reason Of curves
and grades, little less than 200 miles
shorter. 1t Is announced that the work
will be commenced in Kentucky within
three months, and that tho limo to New
York will be finished in less than three
years. 1t appears that the same parties
are interested in the new movement Ia
to finish the old tunnel partly constructed
through the hills north Of the city, the
contract for which has, doubtless, been
given; this part 81 tho project being in
tended To furnish northwestern cOnncc'
tons. b.
