The case OF the city Of Madison We. A.

Mr.. Richie, Of the firm Of Carr &

ian we'll machinery used in the first

The railroad meeting last evening, ow-
ing to the short notice and uncertainty
oil the project, was not largely attended
| but a number of the faithful met and
selected a committee consisting of D. L.
Scott and A. F. Glover to attend the
| Watertown meeting to-day. 1t is not
certainly known what road the Water
town people are pushing in this move
whether the Canadian Pacific, the Mil.
waukee and st. Paul or the 500 road,
but it is probably the latter. 1t will be
the purpose Of the committee to find
this out as definitely as possible before
committing Madison to the project.
Either the Canadian Pacific or the Sioux
roads from Watertown to Madison would
be an invaluable connection, as giving
us an outlet TO the great lakes, and il
there is a probability of either OF these
roads coming this way we ought not to
let an opportunity slip of securing them
A subscription was taken up at the
meeting to help defray the committee's
expenses and Messrs. Scott and Glover
departed this morning for the meeting
at WATERFOWL.
Geo. w. Bagley has joined the fadists
and bought for himself a bicycle. George
undertook to break it In last evening
and afforded no end of amusement TO the
bystanders. He intended to operate the
machine in his back yard, but before he
got through he had travelled owe severa
Yards. The antics of George and the
evolutions Of the bicycle were q gooe
deal like q green cowboy on q buckine
broncho, but heroism conquered and ev
ery time the rider measured his gigantic
length on the ground Or went over thu
fence he remounted with the utmost con
idence. Tin cans and rocks were no inn
pediment to his progress, he climbed
fences like a steeple chaser and only
twice was he thwarted IN his aim-onct
when he run up against DIR. Cloughi
house and another time when be run in
to the Norwegian church. Georges wifi
and numerous on-lookers are complain
ing OF aching. sides, even twenty-fou'
hours after the stragetic performance.
