Monon Railroad Adds to Mileage by Transfer.

(Bloomington, Ind., Sept. 21.—At a meeting of President H. R. Kurrie and other high officials of the Monon railroad company here today two important branch railroads that have heretofore been operated by the Monon were purchased and formally taken over as a part of the Monon system. They were the Indiana Stone railroad, an eight mile spur off the main line between Harrodsburg and Clear Creek, in Monroe county, and the Indianapolis & Louisville line, known as the coal road running from Wallace Junction to Victoria, a distance of 47 miles. It was necessary to hold a formal meeting here and also one at Gosport in order legally to make the transfer of the two properties in the respective counties.
