Hopkins plans railroad refinancing move in Bluffton area
United States Senator Albert J. Hopkins of Illinois met creditors in Portland and Bluffton to propose a restructuring of the Cincinnati Bluffton and Chicago Railroad.

Creditors in Bluffton and Pennville showed support, while some opposition remained. the goal is to finish the line to Huntington this fall with Hopkins potentially funding the $250000 himself.
