| The railroad progress is still
onward. Since our last the bridge over the Brazos river on the
Washington county road has been completed and trains on that road up
to Chappell Hill, bringing down freight from that point. The bridge is
described as being very substantial. It is hoped to have the road done
to Brenham in a few days now. Work on the {Houston
& Texas} Central road is progressing with a good deal of
speed. The Texas & New Orleans road will be opened from Houston to
Beaumont in about 40 days. |
