ROBT. A. HAMILTON DEAD.

R. A. Hamilton of Goodland, Chief engineer of the proposd east and west railroad and one of the promoters of that line, died suddenly at Rochester Monday morning of heart disease while seated in a chair at the Arlington hotel. y Mr. Hamilton was a brother to John A. Hamilton, also of Goodland, who is the president of the company promoting the east and west road. It was the former who worked up the organization of the company and who has been one of the principal pushers in carrying the matter along to its present encouraging stage. He first became interested in the line with Mr George H. Tenney of Kendallville, whose long illness and final death put a temporary stop to the work. The writer had been intimately acquainted with Mr. Hamilton for about sixteen years, and in his numerous visitis to Rensselaer in tho past two years in the interest of this railroad. “Bob” always gave us a call and a hearty grip of the band. His whole mind for some time has been wrapped up in this railroad enterprise, and it is to be deplored that lie could not have lived to have seen it carried through to a successful conclusion, which we anticipate it soon will be. He leaves a wife, three sons and two daughters, to whom we extend our deep sympathy in their hour of sadness.
