Railway Report.

Col. Hamilton, the promoter of the new Toledo and Chicago Transfer railway, ordered one of the corps of his surveyors to Rochester as soon as the result of the election was shown and now they are at work west of that town, on the final route lines and grade levels, says the Rochester Sentinel. % They will be followed by right of way buyers and Mr. Hamilton says grade dirt will be moving in Rochester township by the middle of September, four or six weeks hence. The line east of Talma is not yet located definitely. The Kosciusko county commissioners seem to be obstinate about calling elections for Mentone, Warsaw and North Webster, all of which have petitioned for elections but Mr. Hamilton says this will in no way interfere with the building of the road. He says the line can be run five miles northwest of Warsaw at a saving of more than the subsidy asked and if Warsaw does not want the line to touch the town it surely will nofc’be forced upon them.
