Commenced the Survey.

This morning the Western Railroad of Alabama rut a force of surveyors to work under Chief Engineer Cannon at Soapstone, to survey the route from that place down to south side of the Ala bama River to the new bridge across that stream now being erected opposite the old Franklin Warehouse. It was thought by many that the Western would use the track of the L. and N. from that place. a distance of seven miles to the city, but this is a mistake. The Western will own It's track from Soap stone down the south bank of the Ala bama to the bridge and will only use the L. and Ms property to cross the river.
 It Is evident from this that the track from the present river bridge, nine miles from Selma, will he taken up. as there Is cnly one flag station the whole dis tanco and very little business is trans acted between here and the bridge.
 The piers iE the river for the new L.. and N. bridge at this point are progress ing finely The one In the middle of the river where there was so much trouble getting a foundation. is now above water and only a tremendous rise could stop work on it. By October both the l.. and N. and Western will be coming Into Sell ma over the new bridge.
