| GALVESTON, October 31.-In an interview

general contractor of the New York, Texas
& Mexico railway company, at Rosenberg
junction, the initial point of the line, the
enterprise: Six miles of steel rails
have been laid and eight thousand
tons....of steel rails, equal to one hundred
miles of railway, have been finished. Three
thousand six hundred tons are on hand,
two thousand one hundred tons sat Calves
ton and two thousand three hundred tons
ahoat to arrive shortly, which complete the
road to Victoria one hundred miles west of
Rosenberg Junction, and to which point
the count says the road will be completed
by the first of February, 1882, if he has to
lay track at night by electric lights.
The spikes, chains sand other fasten-
ings for one hundred miles of track
are at Rosenberg junction. Over fifty
miles of the line is graded and large force
west from beyond Wharton. Two
hundred thousand ties were con-
tracted and paid for, hut in
consequence of non-delivery rs stipulated,
caused by the heavy freight traffic on lilies
over which the ties were to be transported,
track-laying has been delayed or the road
would now be in operation twenty five miles
beyond Wharton. But arrangements have
been perfected by which ties and other
material needed in the construction will be
pushed forward with rapidity, and on and
after November 1st the track will be
laid at the rate of mile or
more per day. Six iron bridges, one of
three spans Of one hundred feet each for the
Colorado river at Wharton, one of one hun
dred feet span for the East Barnard river
and o.. of the same length for
PeaSs yrvcK have arrived, and will be
placed in position as soon as the track
reaches those streams. The COM
pany have now in use four To-
comotives, while two Manchester loco
motives are nov on the way, and two
Baldwin locomotives are under contract to !
