GALVESTON, February it.-C. L. Leslie,
general superintendent Of the New York,
Texas & Mexican railway company, arrived
in this city this morning from Rosenourg
junction. In an interview he stated that
temporary bridge across the Colorado river
had been completed few days ago, and
that trains with track-laying material were
crossing, and that large force of iaborers
were actively engaged in laying track be-
yond the river in the direction of Victoria
In reply to an interrogatory If the wet
weather and consequent high water had not
seriously interiered with progress ofwork he
said it had been an impossibility to secure
ties and piling for the necessary prosecution
of the work, but that this difficulty had
now been successfully overcome, and no
further delays from this source were antici-
pated. The Ioad-bed had not suffered to
any great extent, while the displacement
of the temporary bridge across the East
Bernard had been thoroughly repaired, and
that all the temporary bridges on the llne
would be substituted as quickly as possible
by substantial iron bridges, which were on
the ground and would be put in position as
soon as the present high water had subsi-
been let for permanent bridge across
the Colorado river, and that the structure
would be ready for the passage. of trains
inside of the next four weeks. Mr.. Leslie
leaves this afternoon by steamer for Indian
ola. and from thence will go to Victoria to
start track-laying from that end of the line
eastward, which has been delayed by unia-
vorable weather After he has got every
thing in shape for vigorous track-laylng ut
Victoria Mr. Leslie will examine the grade
of the road east from Victoria to Wharton.
