WANTS A RAILROAD.
Hopkinsville Big Meeting to Secure the
Cairo and Tennessee-The People
Fully Aroused.
Special to the Chronicle.

HOPKINsvtLLE, KY, Oct. IS
There was rousing meeting held
here at o'clock yesterday afternoon
to discuss a proposition before the
county magistrates asking an appro
priation of 100000 on the part of
Christian county in aid of the Cairo
q Tennessee railroad, provided the
road is run through this county and
city, but the money is not to be paid
until the road is built and the cars
are running upon it. The County
Judge presided, and there were thir-
ty-two votes. So after the question
had been handled in all its particu-
lars, the ballot was taken and the
vote stood sixteen to sixteen; then
the County Judge voted for the sub
scription and the proposition carried.
The Cairo q Tennessee is a new pro-
iect, and the line will pass almost en-
tirely through Tennessee when com
pleted.
