Fort Worth september lOth) correspond
ence of the Galveston News: Tonight Col
onel Moody and Walter Gresham, esq, of
Galveston, met in consultation here, with a
committee of leading citizens, regarding the
extension of the Gulf, Colorado II Santa Fe
railroad from Bolton to this place. The
proposition is that Fort Worth subscribe
$4,000 and Cleburne S25,000Tor this object.
The Impression prevails that it will be- done
and that this road will run from Be,ton
through Cleburne to Fort Worth. 1t may
be that the Texas Central will make bid to
the people of Cleburne to extend that road
from Whitney to Cleburnc. The people here
prefer to have the proposition Of the Gulf,
Colorado l. Santa Fe, because if it goes to
Ceburne it will come on here while the Cen.
trail might take another direction. 1t may b.
that the Missouri, Kansas Il Texas road will
make some oVertures for an extension of
their road to this place.
