Railroad Matters.

Mel. Erust. of Covington, KY, pres
ident, and Mr.. e. II. Pendleton, CT
vice president of the Ken
lucky Central railroad, accompanied
by Senstor George FL. Pendleton, of
Ohio, spent few hours In the city
yesterday. They came in on the
Knoxville and Ohio railroad. In CONS
pany with Prof. H. e. Cotton, who is |
thoroughly posted on railroad and
kindred matters in this region. These
gentlemen are influential railroad
magnates, and to their visit may be
attached neutrality-suspicious.. They
we're on tour of Inspection through
tie mount aims, with view 10 the
Knoxville connection which has been
so much talked of. They appeared
very much pleased with their observa-
tions. They left last night, in COM
pany with Prof. Cotton, for Morris
town, and thence across the country
10 Cumberland Gap. Although no
definite expression could be gotten out
of them, it is supposed that
they rather favor the Cumberland Gap
route for the proposed connection,
which will ee,tainly be made by some
route. .i.a
On the subject Of Louisville COL
nection with Knoxville, the Courier
Journal of recent date has. this to
say: 7'3
i There is every indication that the
Louisville and Nashville company VIII
shortly begin work on the Knox vile
branch and push it to completion. The
money now invested in that enterprise
, Practically earns nothing directly or
indirectly. The branch end il in the
= wood: completed to Knoxville il
would soon secure paying business Of
7 its own. Besides, the opening of the
. Cincinnati Southern makes the COM
pletion of the Knoxville branch rec
, , essary, without that territory ID to be
surrendered to Cincinnati. The 80 con
q celebrations, with others, have beer
urged on the directory, and it is now
, reasonably certain the Knoxville
branch will be built in accordance witt
the original plans slightly modified
, Louisville is pledged to give $500, Oe0 o
her bonds in exchange for the stocf
= when the ties are ready for the iron
and for these bonds she is to receive
: stock in the road. It is disputed ques
:. ton whether she would be entitled II
1 the old stock or the new. If to ia
q old, then it ia net suppczed that tn
: road would avail itself Of the subscrip
Il ton, as it could bt ttsr afford to bull
= the branch with its own funds. So
& is probable the extention will be mad
with, ut any assistance from Louisville
a This ia OF very great importance I
, the city and to It's business in all of Il
branches. With road > KnoXyiil
and an Independent conn ction int
Texas, Louisville. ould be satisfied.
