The meeting at ('Hilton was largely al tended, and resulted in I be tippohil ineiil tif joint commit toes, as request Cil by IliO I.aureus Chamber of Com. innrcc, to acl with Ihoso from Ibis ttitj in an investigation of co. i ami feasibility, and to launch the Initial plans. Prof. a. K. Spencer, president of the nuidtiesH league, was chairiaaii of I he IIIOi I ina. and c.i lied II pull I l|\ Vikeii of I.aureus in slate the action Of the Chamber of Commerce and what thai hotly wlshod from Clinton. Tlii' was done brlelly and concisely, ami was n>)lowed by a motion that the Clinton league appoint coiuiuil lei in confer with lite I.aureus com mittee:;. Speaking on this motion, Mr. .1. I'\ ubs, one of Clinton's Wealthie i moll, while disclnililiiu; iin> desire "In throw cold waler on i '.? scheme." said thai the time was mn ripe for such a stupendous under talcing, that the amount of business did um warrant it, and Hint instead of llifl schoiiiG as proposed by the I.au reus delegation that they petition Mr. \V. IS. Childs of tbeColuinbin, New liorry and I.aureus railroad to put on a motor ?ervice between the two towns, to run hourly, or to form a $10,000 company, lease the track from Mr. Childs and run the motor ears. Mr, .laeobs stated thai he was not ttuthori'/.cd to speak lor Mr. Childs: in fact look pains to empha size thai "ho was not representing him ai all", but admitted Hull be had bad a talk with Mr. Childs a b w min utes before the meeting ami thai Mr. Childs said he would grunt irack lease. Mr. W. K Owens of Clinton seconded M r. -l:.bs' Illol ion. I The substitute scheme was ably combat ted by a number or the Clinton | business men ami by Missis. YV. I. Cray. ?'. II. Itoper, I!. \. Cooper and C ('. C alle r .tone of l.aureiis. The burden of Mr. Jacobs' speeches was I hat Clinton was under too great an Obligation to Mr. Childs for their new depot there to antagonize him by even countenancing any scheme which j would inaugurate a competition to (lie C X. ? I., line. Hut. Prof. Spen cer expressed the sentiment of Clinton by snyillg that "if the building of that depot b) Mr. Childs was to block the wa> of progress ii were belt er never io have been bnili". In other words: "Clinton had not been bought with ibis mess of pottage". Mr. Spencer's words were greeted with loud ap plause from the Clinton side of the house. Messrs. I'Vnthorslonc and Cooper very clearly ami conclusively showed where the trolley tine would ill IIO wise hurt Mr. Childs' business but would rather lend lo build it up. say ing that a line of this kind built a new business for itself, which Indi rectly helped .ii, business. Progress, oven though ii Wim in competition was not hurtful but healthy. Thou too, the motor service as proposed hy Mr. Jacobs would iini link the lour mills at tlie two places and Ihc college, nor cover the cily territories thai are proposed. Sonic little feeling was caused by a statement mad<> by Mr. Jacobs thai Mr. Childs had told him thai three Luurcns citizen, had said lo him (Childs) that they had come down lo Clinton io hnihl a road in order to pUtlisIt llllll lor i it it giving Luurcns better station and depol facilities. Tills was allowed lo pass Oil its Ill's) statement hu I when repealed by Mr, Jacobs, it was questioned b> Dr. A ikon who called lor the names of the three gentlemen, Mr. Jacobs could no! glvo (hem, but said he though! Mr, W, li. (Sray was one of the three men; whereupon Mr. dray was til one., mi his feet and said: "If he said thai, he lied". And Mr. (Sray went on io say that he was and had always heen on perfectly friendly terms with Mr Childs, and (hui the though! of hurl lug .Jr. Childs* business had never entered his mind. "Or. Alken ttlxo said that the attitude of Ihc Lsturens people toward Mr. Childs was nothing Inn Hie.idly and thai a scheue- to "punish him was (be mcrcsl roily. The substitute motion by Mr, Jacobs was finally brought to a vote ami lost by a I!) to _ count. Then the motion to appoint committees lo confer with the I.aureus committees was carried hy a similar vote. Ilclicc tie' two towns are a unit now on the scheme and Immediate Kieps are being taken lor a survey, ami the securing Ol rights of way.
