BOARD OF TRADE.-Regular meeting held
at the city council room, last evening, the
President in the chair. The minutes of the
last meeting were read and approved. c.
b. Knox and Thos. Plummer were proposed
for membership.
The committee on Union Square reported
progress and was continued.
Mr.. j. II. Abbott, engineer of the Rock
ford, Rock Island & St. Louis railroad COM
pany, being present. was introduced and in
vited to address the board with reference to
| said road, which he proceeded to do at very
considerable length, stating that the building
of that road from its connection with the
Northwestern to Cleveland's Ferry, was al
| ready a fixed fact; that the company would
undoubtedly build that much the present
season, and that probably the laying of the
| track would commence as early as the COM
| ing June. 1t was an object of first import
| snce to them to reach the coal fields at that
point as early as possible. A proposition is
| now under consideration to build road
from Cleveland's Ferry into the city of Rock
| Island as another division of said Rockford
Rock Island 4 St. Louis road, to be used
Jointly by that road, the Western Union and
the Peoria road, the several roads uniting at
some place not far from the above named
ferry, and using q single track from thence
to this city. The grade is extremely easy
and the route is as practicable in every res
pect rs any that can be formed from all
these roads. The Importance of this subject
it is hoped will awaken the people of Rock
Island, Moline and vicinity to thorough
consideration of the subject.
| DIR. Truesdale, Fl. Dart and others also
addressed the board in favor of the enter
prise.
On motion Of Dr. Truesdale it was ordered
that committee of three be appointed t.
canvass the subject, make further inquiries
and ascertain if assistance can be obtained
to aid in the construction of the road. tt
make report at the next meeting. The chan
appointed Messrs. C. Truesdale, j. Ell. VIII
son and Mylo Lee
In this connection it may be stated thai
subscriptions which will be asked for will bt
so conditioned as not TO create any liability
on the part of subscribers until the roac
shall be completed to this city.
} Mr. kahlkeN being present was invited te
address the board in further presentation o
the matter of boat yard, which he die
briefly and then presented proposition I,
form joint stock company under the in
corporation laws of this state, with a capita
of at least $4,000.
On motion of NJ. a. Swiler, committee
of three was appointed consisting of Messrs
M. A. Swiler, T. J. Robinson and J. A. Bid
olson to assist in raising the necessary sub
scription of stock for this project.

of the nags fell and was dragged a short

some passers by. No serious damage done.
