Correspondence OF the Gazette.


CORRESPONDENCE OF the Gazette.
MARSHALL, Tex, Feb. l5.-The Paris,
Marshall and Sabine Pass railway is in a
fair way to take on the boom and be built
as far as Gilmer in Upshur county within
the near future. This road was contem-
plated and set on foot by some citizens of
this place in 1882. After the survey was
made the system of grade notes was
adopted, which were subscribed by the
citizens Unfortunately and in this way
some eight miles were graded. About
this time Mr. E. G. lille of California, a
capitalist, proposed that the citizens fur
nish a part of the money and he would
furnish the balance and iron the road
which was done. Some time after
this was done a section Of five miles was
completed under a contract with Scott &
Co. Various efforts, without success,
have been made to complete the road.
Last night a committee of citizens met
some of the officers of the road in con-
sultatien, looking to the completion of
the road to connection with the Cotton
Belt at GIlmeF In substance the follow
ing proposition was rendered by the road:
The citizens of Marshall to donate $40 900
to the road, for this the road agrees to
eighteen months; to permanently estab-
lish and maintain their general offices and
machine shops at Marshall, and as an
earnest of the faithful performance of
this proposition, the road viii deliver to
the subscribers of this sum $40 600 in first
mortgage bonds of the road, allow the
subscribers to elect five of the nine direc-
tors and hold majority Of the stock of
the road. In the event of the completion
Of the road as agreed in sections of five
miles, 20 per cent. of the amount sub
scribed is to be paid in. Upon the road
reaching Gilmer and the establishment
of the dOmicil of the road here, the first
bonds and stocks are TO be returned to
the road and the $40 900 then becomes a
donation. The five directors at the OPP
ton of the road then step down and
out. This is certainly the most liberal
ever offered to a community
to obtain competing lines of railroad,
and one that it is not believed the citizens
of this place win reject. The citizens of
this place are rather sore on the subject
of donations TO railroads, but in this they

profited by past experience will have

1t is asserted and confidently believed |
that if the road is completed
to Gilmer it win insure the |
early completion of the Erlanger |
system to this place, making this the !
western terminus of that road. 1t has |
been known for some time that that sys-
tenn has been looking TO the extension of |
