Both Promoters Died Suddenly.

G. W. Tenney, the origins organizer of the movement for a railroad from Toledo Ohio, through this section of the oountry to some point in Illinois, died suddenly about 18 months’ ago, at Kendallville, of heart disease. His engineer and ohief assistant was R. A. Hamilton, of Goodland. It is a notable coincidence that < Mr. Hamilton, who took up the work of building the road after Mr. Tenney’s death, should now have died in the same way as Mr. Tenney. What effeot JMr. Hamilton’s death will [have on the present movement remains to be seen. However if the movement is as well on its feet as it has been represented to be the death of any one man ought not to have any serious effeot upon it.
