It's Madison correspondent
There is right lively cotillion going
on over proposed railroad charter to in
corporate the Milwaukee. Manitowoc,
Mississippi and Minnesota Railroad
Company. The charter provides for a
road from Milwaukee to Manitowoc and
thence westerly to OF towards the Missis-
sippi River. The opposition to granting
the charter comes from the proprietor or
rather the holder Of charter which
was given sixteen years ago to the Mani
towoc and Mississippi Railroad Company
now the Manitowoc and Minnesota Rail
road Company, which has been managed
for the entire time by George Reed, the
present Senator Reed, and who has not,
up to the present time, succeeded in
building any part of the road-although
SlO0, 900 was expended in grading, etc,
fourteen years ago. The charter is at
present owned by Jacob Lueps, of Mani
towoc, and Reed controls it by a contract
which he has with Lueps. The people
Of Manitowoc do not think that the road
viii be built under Reed management,
and, therefore, ask for the new charter
mentioned. The opposition is to that
portion Of the new charter which provides
Tor road from Manitowoc west. The
railroad Committee of the Assembly to-
day report the bill back without recon-
mendation, and the fight will come before
the Legislature instead ofthe Committee.
There is large and earnest delegation
here from Manitowoc, and that section
Of the country who are anxious that the
charter shall be granted. The charter
provides that unless ten miles Of road
shall be built under it from Milwaukee
every eighteen months, the charter shall
be forfeited

THE MASQUERADE. This ball, by the
Turner Association, at their hall on Tues
day evening, was grand affair, and
passed off in good style. The number of
maskers was not so large as we anticipa
ted but there were enough there to make
it pleasant-especially laughable. Such
crowd we have never before seen in
Turner, and financially it must have been
a success. The management deserve
thanks for the liberal manner in which
they arranged the dances-it proving sat
sfactory to all.

representations of that played out speci

ture hence their determined opposition
to the passage of our charter.
MANIToWoC RAILROAD BILL.
After the reception of a few reports,
the special order which was the bill to
incorporate the Milwaukee, Manitowoc,
Mississippi and Minnesota railroad COM
pany, was taken up.
Mr. Schmidt moved to substitute the
name of Joseph Villas for S. A. Wood,
among the incorporators, which was
adopted and also offered the following
amendment, which was adopted. Amend
by striking out all after the close Of sec
ton 2l, and insert as follows:
SECTION D. In the corporation created by this
act shall fail to build within eighteen months after
the passage ol TINS act, and during each consecutive
month thereafter until completion, continuous line
of railway, at least ten miles in length, between The
city OF Milwaukee and the city of Manitowoc then
Vie rights powers and privileges granted in this act
shall be deemed forfeited and void
SECTION 90 This act is hereby declared a public
act and the same shall Immediately after its passage
be published in the State paper and be in full force
from and after its passage.
Mr.. Hammond moved to strike out the
10th section of the bill which was re-
fused
Mr.. Balch offered to amend section
two by adding at the end of said section
the following proviso:
provided, it shall not be lawful and the said COM
pany are hereby prohibited from taking measures to-
wards the construction of said road any line west
from Mantowoc, until the said road shall be compile
ted from Milwaukee to the latter named point.
This amendment was earnestly adyocat-
cd by him and opposed by Mr. Schmidt,
and led 10 a general discussion Of the
merits Of this BILL and the question of
the interference of this charter with the
one heretofore granted, in which the
present bill was eloquently advocated by
Mr.. Schmidt, and by Messrs. Pease and
Maxon, and opposed by Messrs. Balch,
Rounds and Foster, who defended the
claims of the corporators under the old
charter. The amendment was adopted
by a vote of % to 81. Mr. Schmidt said
the amendment rendered the bill useless,
and moved its recommittal to the Mani
towoc county delegation, which was
agreed to.

1t is said that the capitalists of Chi
cago have expended nearly one million Of
dollars in bringing the Elgin Watch Fac
tory to its present state of perfection.
They now have the finest and most COM
pletely equipped factory in the world and
are receiving returns from their invest
ment. Great credit is certainly due to
the men who inasgurated this enterprise,
and who have stood by it for the past six
years, until it has been made a success.
