RUNAwAy.-While hitciiing up the
delivery team q, the steam mill, last
Monday morning, one OF the horses
began rearing and plunging and fin
ally got off m runaway with the
wagon only partially attached-the
tongue being on the ground. Mr.. Ed.
Collins, who was attempting TO hold
the intractable horse, found himself
when the team started in very dan
gerous position between the tongue
and one of the horses, and was not
able to keep his feet but few rods
when down he went, both wheels on
one side passing over his body. He
was found to be severely and painfully
bruised, but his injuries were not
deemed dangerous. The team after.

MuscATINE, TIrroN AND NORTH
ERN RAILRoAD.--The following from
the Muscatine Journal, will, we think,
find commentator all along the pro.
posed line Of this long dormant rail
way project and should the time
come for actions TO speak, we further
believe that the journal is right in
thinking Upton would do her fair
share in the premises:
Now that railroad building is being
resumed and other river cities are
pushing their lines OF railroad 10 the
interior, it behooves Muscatine to
arouse and put forth corresponding
efforts to secure trade by additional
railroads. Our city has been vastly
benefited by the Muscatine Western,
and every effort that can be made to
push that enterprise still farther west :
ward should be made but, Just at
this time, the most important and
practicable scheme open to us IN II e
Upton Railroad. /, may not be gen
orally known that its friends have al.
ready expended over one hundred
thousand dollars in preparing this
road for the track. We believe the
present is an suspicious time to take
up the enterprise again and make a
strong pull and pull altogether,
which would undoubtedly be success
full.
The advantages Of the road, both TO
this city and the people along the line
are very great when compared with
the cost. Ii the road should be made
a narrow gauge (which would prob
ably be the best under existing cir.
cumsrancesl, The entire cost of put
ting it in operation to Upton (not in
GLIDING the amount already expended
in grading), would not exceed one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
OF course the burden should not fall
entirely on this city. Upton would
doubtless do its share, and if the road
should go either by Moscow or VIII
ton the people Of whichever point it
passes through would have to aid lib
orally if they secure it. Besides,
many farmers along the line would
give it helping hand rather than
lose it.
We suggest, therefore, shat an
early move be made towards comple;-
ing this long deferred but much need.
ed railway enterprise.

THE RAILROAD PROSPECT has very
decidedly frightened since our issue
of one week ago, As may be seer by
an article on the opposite page,
copied from last Fridays Clinton
Age. Since that was written the
good work has gone steadily on.
Messrs. Chas. Hammond and S. V.
I.sndt, Of this place, spent Tuesday
in Clinton and put in the afternoon
at the scene Of operations. They re-
port ties laid out for over three miles,
track actually laid almost one mile
and iron on the ground to lay as
much more. Not large force was
engaged in laying track, but enough
probably to reach Mill creek as soon
As the bridge, which is being vigor-
ously pushed forward, can be made
ready. The feeling in Clinton is
confident and even jubilant.
Now when it comes to bringing
load after load of iron upon the
ground and laying down miles OF i,
on the prepared railway bed, we sub
init that it is going farther than any
man would be likely to do for mere
pretext or to gain doubtful equities.
And more than this, we think that
when developments shall have com
PEELED the concession that Mr.. Hinck
lev does intend and is ready to com
plete the road, popular sentiment al
along its proposed route will-if any
thing for the purpose be then neces
sary-compel resembling Of the re
cent action of the Iowa CITY maiorit,
Of the Board Of Directors. II we Cal
get what we have all the time beer
contending for, q new and independ
ent outlet by rail, we shall certainl,
be very foolish to accept anythin,
less, even though single localit,
might deem it sufficient for self in
terest. As the matter now stands
the wisdom Of our own Director.
Messrs. Wolf & Dean, in ioinin,
Clinton in the effort to give Nj
Hinckley and through line anothe
chance, seems to be fully vindicated
For the future we shall see what "
shall see; but we believe as We hop
that harmony will soon return to tn
management of the corporation IN
that everything may move off swim
ingly toward the successful issue 3
llcng desired.
