About the Tippecanoe Route.

The following from Winamac appears in today’s Indianapolis Journal. We can not vouch for its accuracy for the Journal’s correspondent at Winamac is notoriously unreliable, but in this dispatch is probably true, except the statement that “all townships have voted aid,” to the road, for two townships county have voted against aid. Following is the dispatch: Winamac, Ind., Oct. 13. —The railroad surveyors of the Toledo & Chicago Transfer Railway Company, which has its weetern terminus at Kempton Junction, 111., and passes through the counties of Newton, Jasper, Pulaski, Fulton, Kosicusko and Noble, thence to Toledo have completed their third survey. Representatives of the company are working east and west of Winamac purchasing the right of way. All townships on that route have voted subsidies, and the company will begin grading the track before January. It is reported that the Illinois Central Railroad Company is seeking an eastern outlet from Kempton Junction, and thence east to New York, and thatj it is interested in the Transfer project with this end in view.
