News From Headquarters Regarding the
Texas Central Northeast Branch Via Kauf-
m.l-bv to; East Line VIII Enter
Dallas.
w. Cave, Treasurer, and G. A. Quin-
Ian, Division Superintendent of the Hous-
ton e Texas Central Railroad were in the
city yesterday, returning from a trip to
Kaufman, where they had been in confer
ence with the citizens of that place. They
had gone there over the. Texas Trunk. The
proposition of the people ofKaufman to do
nate twenty acres of ground in the
corporate limits and secure the right
oi-way through the county was
accepted, 4 similar proposition from the
people of Terrell being included. The site
' for depot buildings was selected, and a
pleasant and harmonious conference was
had throughout. Mr., Cave. in converse
ton with reporter, said that it was more
than probable the line from Ennis or Gar
rett, via Kaufman and Terrell, thence
through Hopkins county and on to the
northeast corner of the State in Bowie
county would be built; that it is a settled
fact that line will be constructed from
some point on the mann line
south of Dallas but that out of
three different surveys made no
particular one of them had been adopted
he had hardly doubt the KaufmanTer
rel survey would be adopted. Mr.. Cave
said the Houston q Texas Central Road al
ways governed its actions on business prn
eiples and it would make this line purely
business matter and for the company's in
terest and benefit, regardless of any city or
point on the road He said the manifest
relations exist between their road and the
people of Dallas, and also with the Chicago,
Texas Il Mexican Central Railroad, but that
an independent line to the northeast was an
absolute necessity, and for that reason the
Houston Il Texas Central had determined to
build such line. He said iron for iiftymiles
Of the road from Ennis or Garrett TO the
Hunt county line has been purchased, and
that u large amount of ties aud other CON
struction material is being concentrated at
GARRETT that all details will be arranged in
a very few days, and that the work OF con.
struction will be under full headway inside
Of two months. A branch from some point
in Hopkins county will be built northwest
through Lamar county to Paris
and Red River; also that the line
will ultimately be extended southwest
wardly from Ennis or Garrett to Whitney
He also said il will not be long now until
the work Of construction of the Waxahachie
ana Weathcriord extension viii BEGIN
All these things had been determined.
AS regards the remodeling OF division on
account of these extensions, such IA making
Ennis terminal point for divisions, instead
OF Corsicana, at present, Mr.. Cave said
these things had not been considered, but
that they would regulate themselves in due
course Of time and as circumstances would
demand, Mr. Cave left last night FOR Cisco;
MIR. Quinlan for Corsicana.
