the case before Mr. Riddle. by tele-
graph. and he replied. reducing the
demand to f12 900, right Of way and
depot grounds. and extending the
time TO Saturday evening, at which
time the Committee Informed him
that hi. terms would be accepted aud

the Company demanded. Up To this
Lime the contract has been signed by
about 100 responsible citizens, inclu-
ding all the members Of the commit
tee. and the matter 10 now settled 40
far ~ to make sure the construction OF
