THAT RAILROAD MEETING.

Last week it was announced by tele-
graph that meeting was held at Port
land, Oregon, at which several of the
magnates of the Central Pacific were
present, to consult on matters relative
to the proposed Winnemucca and
Oregon Railroad. From northern ex-
changes We learn that the Central Pa.
cifio was represented by its Vice Presi-
dent. one of its Directors, and its Chief
Engineer. A proposition from New
York capitalists to provide money to
build and equip the road from Port
land to Winnemucca within three years
vas submitted to the meeting. The
conditions upon which the offer is made
are. that the people of Oregon take
$500, 900 of the stock, to be paid for
when the road is completed and the
cars running; and that the company
obtain guarantees from the Contra!
Pacific that the rates from Ogden to
Winnemucca for fares and freight shall
be precisely the same as they now give
or may hereafter give to California, for
twenty years.
Capitalists seem to have every conf
dence in the success of the road, and
from its extensive connections east and
west. believe that it will be self-sup-
porting. The representatives of the
Central Pacific will, while north, exam
inc the north Pacific Coast generally,
after which they will return to Portland,
whence, with Directors of the proposed
road they will proceed southeast along
the line of said road over the Cascade
Range, until they meet the surveying
party which are now out, after which
they will return to the Klamath
country, where the new road is to con-
meet with the California system of
roads. and thence proceed to San Fran
cisco overland. 1t is expected that
matters relating to the project will
shortly be made public, and there is o
prospect of work being commenced on
this end of the road this fall.

A FURNITURE dealer named Dimock
committed suicide in Carson last week.
lie left letter in which he referred to
widow named Purcell, to whom he
was engaged to be married. Yesterday
this lady was found in her bed in
senseless condition. Medical aid was
summonded and it was ascertertained
that she had taken poison. Emetics
were administered and at last accounts
she was still alive. Since Dimock's
death she stated to several that she in
tended to follow her beloved, and it
appears that she took poison to speed
her on the journey. She has two fine
looking children, who are much
grieved at the actions of their mother.
