RAlLRoAD accepted the proposition Of
Mossrs. Peck aud Stuart to leave
to Franklin Maxwell the question Of
damages to their property BY reason Of

gentleman on Monday last assessed tho
damages at $4,000, besides requiring
Tho company to build a bridge and

considered BY the company. and also
by many citizens in Harrison county,
entirely too high, or at least double

liberal, q majority Of thOm have been
very cxorbitant in their demands for
damages, aud the heavy amounts that

for the company to abandon the pres

to strike the Northwestern Railroad at
some other point. The Directors Of
the Company do not think they are

these outrageous demands because they
