summoned to private meeting at
the Bates County National Bank,

GOV. FOSTER SPEAKS.
This gentleman. whom it appears
stands at the head of a syndicate
owning considerable land in this
county, and who IS the leading spir-
it in the new railroad scheme. ex-
planned some thlngs to the gentle
men present which puts a different
phase on the situation left by the
meeting of Tuesday night previous.
The proposition. as he put it, was
like this:
His company would run line Of
road from point on the Gulf road
bv way of v alnut and Butler and
on, either to the north or east edge
of the county, for $40, 900 and right
of way, one third of the amount to
be paid when the cars are running
to Butler, another third in six months
following and the remaining third
when the cars crossed the north or
east line of the county, as the case
might be. Gov Foster further stated
that several members of his compa-
nv held interests in the Hudson coal
lands and were little p,edispo.ed
to run the road IN that direction, but
he thought the majority were favora-
bic to Butler. He stated that he
wouly stay in tbs country till the
matter was settled definstely, and in
the meantime might be able to give
additional news OF Importance.
After Mr.. HartweIl had gwen the
above information from Mr.. Nettle-
ton, the sense of the meeting was
unanimous in assuring both gentle
men that if such WAS the nature OF
the propositions to be submitted,
there would be no difficulty in Butler
and the county aoceeding to all the
requirements.
Mr.. HartwelI lett Monday foy
Clinton in the interest of the Gulf
road.
GOV. FOSTER INTERVIEWED.
The following interview with Gov.
Foster throws more light still on our
railroad prospects:
Gov. Foster arrived i'll Butler last
Friday morning, and was visited BY
a TIMES reporter on Saturday 1T the
Palace Hotel. After being intro
duccd pv Col. Pace the reporter en-
u,iired OF the Governor if he could
give any information regarding the
new railroad now being talked of
this county. In reply the
Governor responded about as toll
lows:
Gov 'Well. sir. | am out here
TO look up this question, but am not
prepared to make any definite state
ment or propositions just yet
Rep. "WIll Butter be main
point on the proposed line:'
Gov. Il cannot say. The syn
dictate have not positively agreed as
to the line. The Plumb faction will
not entertain the idea of coming to
Butler at all, as Mr. Plumb owns a
large par. of the Hudson coal fields,
and coming through Butler would
leave them several miles south of the
road. The other members of the
syndicate are not intimately acquaint-
ed with the country, and until a
is held | could not positively
promise the people of Butler the
road should the $40. 900 be raised,
Rep. ''How long will you re-
nam in the city, Governor
Gov. Il expected to drive over
his country in Il conveyance from |
