TAPPING COAL REGION.
The smody Mills branch OF the Chicago, Dan-
vile d. Yincinnes Railroad, which runs through
Warren, Fantaine, Parker, and Vigo Counties,
Ind, will be completed by the 1st Of January.
All the grading is done, bridges built, and there
reraine but few miles OF rail to be put down.
It will tap the richest coal fields Of Indiana, and
will be at once used by the Wabash Coal Com
pany, whose large coal mines lie along this road.
They expect to ship rs carloads Of coal day to
this market, whereas now they ara able to bring
in but 80 cars week, which are brought by the
way Of the Indianapolis, Bloomington l. Western
Road to Danyille, and thence Oh the main Line to
Chicago.
The Chicago, Danvi1le l. Vincennes Road is
now running the Woodruff palace sleeping cars
from Chicago to Evansville, uia the Terre Eaute
route, without change.

soon connect with the Texas Central, when q
through rail line from Chicago to Galveston Will
ba opened ma the Chicago, Kansas City l.
Northern, to Jefferson City, and thence, over
ths hs n ednnssoa I'll to PsRssaa Pssa 1sfes so
bo made. By this route, Chicago will be as
near il not nearor, to the great Southwest than
st. Louis, whose southwestern connection, the
Atlantic j. Pacific Road, is far from reaching it's
objective point and, unless some change Of e1-
isting laws Ee made, many years must elapse be-
fore this road becomes OF real and substantial
benefit to st. Louis. Chicago has great reason
for congratulating herself upon the completion
Of this branch of tho H., Z. st. Road, since her
ton Of enterprise, which to Chicago merchants
is no serious matter.

than any they have heretofore had.
NEW PASSENGER HOUSE.
The new Milwaukee g. St. Paul Road will u1ti-
mately run south along Canal street, from its
present terminus, to Madison street, where it

be made the most convenient road for suburban
residents, who live north and northwest from
tho city, and it will likely take most Of that
