She is in the Second Stage of the Railroad
Fever.
GEoRGETowN, Tex, Nov. 1S.-During the
past few weeks Georgetown has been in the
throes of a railroad fever, and since the
fact has fully developed that the proposed
Taylor, Georgetown and Western is a dead
duck, owing to Taylor's failure to come up
with her part of the per cent of the sub
scribed stock the fever has become hotter
than ever, "struck in" so to speak,
and Georgetown, inspired by failure and
encouraged by the determination of her
citizens, has gone to work to secure another
and more important road than the one
proposed from Taylor. AS stated in my
dispatch Saturday night, a much larger
amount has air. ady been subscribed for the
new road than had been subscribed for the
other one, ind today committee COM
posed of State Senator Glasscock. Capt.
Emzy Taylor, president of the First

with the citizens of those towns and ascer-
tain what encouragement each or either
place will give to proposition to build a
road from one of the points via Georgetown
W AuStlH. Inc SeHlleneH WHO constitute
the committee, and the fact that more than
$50 900 has been raised here in one day, is
sufficient guarantee that Georgetown is in
dead earnest. and if the proper encourage

and the towns on the NJ. X. Il T. from
whence the road will start, the road
will be built. This is an important
line 10 Austin for it will
virtually give her the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, for there is no doubt but the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas people will equip
and operate the road if tits graded and will
only be too glad to get it.
