Through Mexico Started to
Work Thursday Morning
at Francis.

A Surveying party Of the Burlington
Railroad is In this city at the Planters
Hotel. What they are really doing
here seems to be a mystery. The
party is composed OF eleven men, head
ed by Mr.. O. L. Persons.
Everyone in the party is very reti.
cent about the object of the survey,
and about the only thing that they will
tell is that they have gone to work
and that the oad,--whatever it is, IL
going to be laid north Of Mexico and
| II it touches any part of the city at all
1t will be only the northeastern limits
From this direction from Francis
the only logical terminus for a Bur
lington roadbed seems to be Macon OF
at least some point on the line from
Hannibal to ST, Joseph and Kansas
City.
II hardly seems probable that the
G. B. s. @. is going to build a road
from here direct to Kansas City, fol
lowing either the Wabash or O. s. A
The business seems hardly big enough
to justify IL.
1t also seems improbable that the
@. s. A. and Burlington are going to
break on the cutoff to st. Louis, as
the relations between the two roads
have never been SO good as since they
have been using the cut-off between
here and st. Louis together.
What the terminus of the road will
be willprobably not be definitely Settl-
ed till news is received from the genera
offices OF one road or the other, though
the supposition that it will end in
Macon is very well supported.

About two o'clock in the morning they

succeeded in attracting attention, and
were taken aboard. The captain
knew both Pruitt and Cheney, and
had heard of Freshman. He agreed
to pass Point Pleasant this trip. One
