Himself and Wife Will Board In Rensselaer and He Will Reseme MeOoysbnrg Constrnetisn. , Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Gifford arrived in Rensselaer this Friday morning and after taking up their residence at the Makeever Hotel, he decided to go to Chicago for a day or two and Mrs, Gifford accompanied him. He states they will return to Rensselaer and be here for several weeks, during which time he will have a force of foreign laborers at work on his overgrade at McCoysburg. He states that he will go right with the grading on both sides of the Monon road and will not be many weeks in completing the grade begun some two years ago. He plans to extend his road southeast to Wolcott and thence toward Lafayette.. The workmen at McCoysburg did not accomplish very much, to all appearances, when they worked on the grade before and it was understood that Mr Gifford found the grade building so expensive that he decided to permanently abandon it, but he now says that it was not his intention to abandon it long and that he will now proceed with it rapidly. The idea ol building it over the Monon is ko-avoid the heavy expense of maintaining an interlocking crossing. Mr. Gilford has been diligently pushjpf .hls road to the north for several years and is now northest of Crown Point
