And Still Another Paper Railroad.

And still another paper railroad has come to join the innumerable caravan of like enterprises which, in times recent and remote, have intersected Jasper county, (in the minds’ eyes of their projectors.) This last project is a little out of the usual order, for its proposed line does not intersect the county in either of the ; beaten paths of railroad projects, namely due east and west, or north ; and south', but has a northwest and i southeast direction. The company ! which proposes to build it, was incor- ! porated one day last week. Its title is the Union, Chicago <fc Omaha Ilail- | road Company, and it has a capital ! stock of $f),000,000 in SIOO shares. : The directors are: R. B. .Stone, of s Bradford, Pa.; M. Waters and A. J. j Ilazeltine, of Warren. Pa,; W. W. | Worthington, of New' York, and Jesse | Nixpn, of Mtmeie. - * The railroad will commence at Union City and run in a northwesterlj’- direction through Randolph, Delaware, Madison, Grant, Tipton, Howard, Carroll, White, Jasper and Newton counties, to the State line, terminating at Morocco. The road is to be 155 miles long. This route, if built, would naturally carry the road across this county somewhere about midway between Remington and Rensselaer.
