The Latest Railroad Meeting.

At the meeting Monday night held to take further action towards securing the electric railroad, the following committee was appointed to feolioit funds for the survey: G. E. Murray, Jus. H. Chapman, E. L. Hollingsworth, Granville Moody Wm. Washburn, The committee is expected to raise the money at once, and deposit in bank, subject to call whenever the surveying is done. The cost of the survey is not to exceed $lO per mile, and will probably be less. It is necessary to raise about S2OO for the survey, through this county, asido from wlmt will be provided for in Remington. Tl.e members of the above finance committee and of the right-of-way committees heretofore appointed, were elerted delegates to attend the next general meeting of the ruilroad stockholders, in Monticello, when the same shall bo called. From information given at the meeting, it was learned that tho surveyors had reached Winamac some days ago, and would probably soon survey the Monticello route, the people of that town and county having been sufficiently alive to their vital interest to have the preliminary work of raising money and securing right of-way, already finished. The meeting adjourned to meet on call of the chairman of the finance committee, Mr. Murray.
