Electric Railroad Meeting.

About three hundred persons gathered in
Mora last evening, by invitation, to dis
cuss the electric railroad proposition. A
number Of speeches were made, and the
sentiment Is greatly in favor Of the cleo
trio railroad, and the people up there are
disposed to lend all the assistance in their
power towards building the same. J. L.
Lockwood, the prime mover ia the propo-
%sition, is nov confined to his bed by sick
ness, in Birmingham, Ala, but sends word
that he hopes to soon be able to return to
New Mexico and push the work on this
road. There seems to be no one who ia
acquainted with the building OF an electric
road and with the country through which
this road Is to pass, that thinks the road
viii not pay from the beginning, and that
1t will develop many resources that are as
yet ~unthought Of, up in the Mora and Taos
