_@SUMDAY MORNING, DEC. 4.
The Rallroad Proceedings.
“On Friday afternoon a meeting of
citizens of Grass Valley and Nevada
was held‘ at Library Hall for the purose of further consulting in regard to
_ ‘ailroad matters.
Judge Niles, on calling *he nesting
to order, said he had investigated the
matter since the last meeting and had
come tothe conclusion that it would
be impossible to run to any other place
than that designated in the paper upon
which subscriptions to stock had been
taken, and that the steps already taken
would not be sufficient to organize for
the purpose of building a road to Marysville. 3
Mr. Deland, the Treasurer, reported
that $1,800 had been paid in by eubscribers, and that $2,100 would be necessary to incorporate. He also said
that so soon ag the delinquents paid
up he would, ad required by. law, call a
meeting of stockholders.
The Chairman called upon geatilemen
present to express their sentiments in
tegard to the best method of procedure.
Mr. Delano said that no difference existed in public opinion in Grass Valley
as to a railroad. They all favored a
railroad from Nevada county, but .hé
thought the majority of people there
would prefer to run to Marysville, as a
road in that direction would. tap. the
grain country, and give the advantages of competion by connecting lines;
-that some of the subscribers to stoek
refused to pay in until an bavenppartont
of routes was had.
Mr. Clark was in favor of carrying
out the purposes of the organization as
begun, because the money was aubscribed for that purpose, and any delay was hazardous. He advanced arguments in favor of the route as being
the best to connect this couuty with
the markets,
Mr, Marsh advocated the Marysville
raute, as being the most feasible,
because the distance to San Francisco,
by way of Marysville, was shortest,
and freight could be transported mote
cheaply in consequence of river communication, He was in favor of investigating the different routes.
Mr. Pattison said, several years ago
he had occasion to investigate the mat-.
\ ter of a railroad, and at that time parties ‘in San’ Francisco stéod ready to
take a large share of stock. He thought
that a]li the etock could have been’ marketed then, had proper effort been
made. He believed that the road was
practicable and could be cheaply buil.
Mr. Deal claimed that the amounts
already paid in were subscribed tor a
specific purpose, and that an jnvestigation, if made, should be made outside
of the present organization, and proposed the following resolutions, which
were, after some discussion, adopted ;
WHEREAS, The people of Grass Val
ley and Nevada are desirous of secur
ing railroad communication, connecting
their towns with some point en the
main lines of travel,
Bap cassie That a committee of five
pointed, at & meeting to be held.
at arene Hall, Nevada City, on Tuesday, Decomiee 18th, 1870. ‘
Resolved, That said committee be authorized to secure preliminary surveys
to buch: points as may be deemed advisable;.that they be auttiurized to conier
and correspond with such corporations
and individuals ‘ae may by contiibutions ‘or subseriptions aid in the construction of a railroad,
Resolved, That Committees be appointedrin Grass Valley and Nevada to
ane subscriptions of citizens of their
tive lowns, tu delray expenses of
pe Comwittee, and that lists be also
lett atthe Bank of Nevada County, in
Nevada, and at. the lankiag “house ot
A. Delano, Grass Valley, for. subseriptions for this purpose.
Pending the consideration of these
resolutions, Mr. Watt strenuously advocated a railroad. He-said he did not
waht to sdée the county fall into the
hands of the fentral Pacitic Company,
and he was pliervtore disposed ww lavor
a road to Maryéville ; that such a road
would ran. through a grain and hay
country, and would give all the advantages of competing lines, While he:
held vale opjaion be dab ‘Wo was teady
to contribute, as denmatenen would
‘being level ;
wartant,~ buttdi road’on
that was. petit cpon, but he
tended to know the advantages o:
of the proposed lines, and that
not want to work in the dark,
Mr. Sigourney was in favor of seni
Geedh
did
tain any one that might be fixed upon.
Mr. Cashin tought ‘that the members of the organization began with
their eyés Open “and that’ the ‘parties subscribing understood exactly
what they were doing ; and that the
project ought t to be put throagh. He
thought favorable arrangeménts could
be made with the Central Pacific Railroad Company.
=
in the way of organizing ; and proposed.
that each stockholder present pay $10
and tle amonnt would be sufficient to
complete the organization.
Mr. Coleman said if they thought of
running to Marysville why not also
take Sacramento into considerat‘on ?
The distance would,oenly:be 24miles
further, and that 25 miles could be
built very cheap, the entire distance
and that Sacramento people would give liberal aid. All the reasons in favor of Marysville such as
tide water communications, competition, etc., were greater in favor of Sacramento.
The discussion was further participated in by the gentlemen whose re‘marks are briefly and imperfectly given
above, and by other persons; nearly
all showing an earnest desire for a
railroad and a willingness to lay aside
personal preferences for the accom.
plishment of the result,
Judge Niles, at the request of the.
meeting, then appointed Commiitees
in Nevada and Grass Valley to solicit
subscriptions fora preliminary survey
in accordance with the resolutions paséed, consisting of the following persons :
Grass Valley—A. Delano, W. K. Spencer, A. Stoddard. Nevada—T. W. Sig~
ourney, N. P. Brown, Chas. Marsh.
Qn motion the meeting then adjourned to meet again on Tuesday, December 18th, at which tine it is understood the stock-sulscribers’ ‘meeting
will also be called if delinquents pay
up. ;

THe Srirvuation.— Late dispatches
tend to confirm previous reports of
French successes in recent engagements. A special from Tours says: Official dispatches announce that General
Trochu and Ducrot will completely
surround the Prussians between Bre,
Sur Marne and Chaissy le Rai. Ducrot
is now encamped fifteen miles from
Paris. The French losses are reported
at $2,000.
ANOTHER OPINION ON THE Lortery Law —In the case of Frank W.
Gross, says a dispatch tothe Appeal,
advertising
Judge Stanley held the defendant to
bail in the sum of $500 to appear before the next Grand Jary, He declares
the Mercantile Library Lottery unconstitutional, and said he would do his
utmost to get Grand Jurors who would
use all their power to enforce the law.
A Great JuMPpIne Matca.—At. Boston, Mass., recently, a great jumping
match was decided at the Highlands,
in‘a meadow on a line with the Providence Railroad, between Abe Saars, of
Quincy, and Ned Crophy, of Brooklyn,
for $500 a sides.
10 feet 94. Inches, The Brooklyn man
stepped forward and bet with the New
Englander $50 that he would beat that,
but he failed by 3% inches. On the
second trial Saars cleured 11 feet 7% inches; third trial, 12 feet 24 inches.
Brophy made a poor effort to excel
these figures, and the Quincy man’s
friends made a pile on their man winning.
Suits Threatened.
Mercantile Library Lottery tickets
may yet be worth money and those
who have them should hold on. Th
matter has got into to the Courts, and
the County Court in San Francisco declared. the anti-lottery law never repealed. Large holders of tickets threaten tosue the Mercantile Library for
the recovery of money and damages.
There may be fun ahead,
Union says: Madame Perkler, aged
ubout seventy-five years, and who re
sided on Neal street, north side, a few
doors west of Auburn street, was found
lying dead in her house yesterday
moroing. The Madame had been livquiet andunoffensive old lady. She
uad been seen alive the day before, but
post mortem examination made by Dr.
Coombs at the Coroner's inquest
showed that she bad died from: natural
causes. Deceased was a aiative, we be~
