minus.

A rumor reaches this city to the
effect that the c., r. s. NJ. railroad
company has made a proposition to
the city of Liberty that if they will
give the company a $4,000 subsidy
they will change the line of the road
so as to make Liberty their southern
terminus instead of Cottage Grove as
now.
The change would be one of advan-
tage to the company, since all trains
OF the n. Il d. stop at Liberty and
do not at Cottage Grove. So far as
Richmond is concerned the change
would be 0good one, connecting
Richmond with Liberty direct and
thus giving US access to territory
which now we can scarce reach at
all.
