The Rochester, Rensselaer & St. Louis Railroad Revived.

A couple of prominent and reliable citizens of Winamac, last week positively assured a weil known resident of Rensselaer that the long talked of, Rochester, Rensselaer & St. Louis Railroad would certainly be built, from Rochester, Ind., to Gilman 111., during the coming year; that the contract for building it had lean let and that they had seen the articles of the agieement. The explanation of the causes of the resuscitation of this project is very plausible, and great y tends to strengthen faith in the truth of the report. The Indiana, Illinois & lowa Railway, which has heretofo>e terminated at North Ju Is m, has served as a valuable feeder for lhe Chicago & Atlantic road; but since its extension to Knox, during the present year, it has found another and better eastern out let in the Nickel Plate Road, which it intersects at Knox. The Chicago /Atlantic being thus deprived of this valuable feeder, finds it necessary to promote the building of the R. R. & St. L , to supply the deficiency. That this line, if built, would serve as a most valuable feeder to the Chicago & Atlantic, there is no room for doubt, and that company being wealthy and powerful, is a combination of circumstances which makes its early building a matter of great probability. —Republican.
