The Project Has Taken Tangible Shape at
Last.
EXTENDS FROM HOUSTON TO FORT WORTH
visions and to Begin the Work
simultaneously.

Fort Worth, Texas, June e.--The ultimate
construction of the Houston Brazos and
Northern railway to this city is almost an
assured fact and comes from reliable par
ties here who are directly interested in the
enterprise. The project has now takon
tangible shape end the president az the
road. Elijah Smith of New York, is now
In New York on business pertaining to the
construction Of the road Word has been
received from him TO the effect that the
financial enc of the matter has been ar
ranged and that the company's charter
will be filed with the secretary OF state
about the 18th of the present month, and
Immediately thereafter the company will
be organized.
The charter will authorize the construc-
ton OF the road from Houston along the
Brazos river valley to Marlin, in Falls
county thence through Limestone county
to Fort Worth. Fred Grant was the orig
inal promoter of the road in 1877. About
fifty miles of line, which vas a narrow
gauge, was built from Houston to Sealy
but beyond this point the road was never
| constructed. IN the hands Of the present
| company the Houston, Brazos and North
ern will be changed to a standard gauge
and it is positively announced that the
work of building is only a natter of few
months The company owns valuable
franchises, terminals, etc, in H"us, on,
which are by competent judges said 10 b'
worth more than 100000 and operation
will begin with the rehabilitation and ex
tension of the same.
1t is contemplated that the road is to b
built direct to Fort Worn, where 1t i
claimed 1t will be eventually ext 'nded I

miles into Jack and Young counties, q
this extension there is nothing definite

toria, over the section OF country through
which this road Is to be built. His object
Is to make preliminary examination Of
the country between Alvin and Victoela,
preparatory to q survey OF the line.
1t has been thought for some time that

desired to abandon part Of the line and
