A RIVAL LINE.

Only few days ago the incorporatorS
of the Rock Island and Milan horse rail
way company met in this city, and made
the necessary preparations for opening the
books for such an association.
1t now leaks out that Major j. M
Beardsley has just returned from Chicago,
where he has been in consultation with
some capitalists who propose to build a
street railway IN this locality. The orig
inal intention was to construct line from
Moline, near the bluff, and running down
Third avenue in this city to the Milan
road, and out that thoroughfare to Milan,
passing the Chippiannock cemetery. The
Chicago men agreed to furnish the money
to construct the road and purchase the
cars, while partiesin this locality were to
secure the right of way and buy the live
stock. The road was to be horse rail
way, as it was claimed that that style
would prove more remunerative than a
dummy.
1t is now stated that no steps will be
taken to form horse railway company
unless the dummy railway protect is aban-
doned
1t would thus appear that in any event
the towns of Milan and Rock Island will
soon be connected by railway of some
description.
The promoters of the dummy project
have sent in their application to the Secre
tary of State and as soon as the license to
incorporate arrives, they viii form com
pany and proceed at once to secure a right
of way, and build the proposed road, if no
obstacles are encountered.
