NEW FOX RIVER LINE.
Articles Filed by the Valley Terminal
Railway Company.

Madison, Wis, May 8.-Fox River val
try is to have new railroad, not a paper
scheme, but a genuine enterprise. Ar
ticles of organization were filed with the
secretary of state today by the Valley
Terminal Railway company to construct
and maintain a road from Green Bay
through Brown, Outagamie and Winnie
bago counties to Neenah, a distance of
about thirty miles, tapping the manufact-
uring towns in the Fox River valley,
Green Bay, Fort Howard, Kaukauna,
Appleton and Neenah. The capital stock
is $4,000 and is all subscribed by the
incorporators, divided into 1900 shares
of 500 each The road is to be built
mainly by Eastern capitalists. The di-
rectors are: John c. MacIntyre, Niagara
Falls, N. Y; Joseph Taylor, Detroit;
Abel L. Allen, Chicago; Walter B. Pei
ton, Appleton; John NJ. Baer, Appleton;
George e. Green, Binghampton, 4. \.
Mr.. MacIntyre is the principal stockhold-
err, holding $3.50 shares. Mr.. Green has
$50 shares and the others 100 each. 1t
is believed the road will ultimately ex-
tend to Oshkosh.
The same men have organized the
American Timber company with head
quarters at Appleton, to manufacture
wood pulp and convert it into paper stock.
The capital stock is $5OO,O00 Whether
this means that the company will buy
out the present paper mills at Appleton
or start new mills of its own cannot be

Oshkosh, Wis, May 1O.-The case of
George \. Buckstaff VS.. the Oshkosh
Northwestern for alleged libel ended to-
day with verdict for the plaintiff of
$3.50 In 1889 Assemblyman Pratt in
a speech before the common council
accused Buckstaff, a brother member
of the Legislature, of drunkenness. For
this speech Buckstaff sued Pratt for
SANDER and the Oshkosh Northwestern
and Oshkosh Times were sued for libel
in publishing Pratt's speech The cases
against Pratt and the Oshkosh Times
were settled for a pecuniary considera-
ton but the Northwestern refused to
pay what it considered blackmail and
stood trial. Judge Burnell instructed
the jury that the falsity of the report in
the newspapers must not be considered
1t was libel anyway and the jury must
bring in verdict for the plaintiff. No
extrnuating circumstances were to be
considered whatever. The jury accord
ingly rendered it's verdict for the sum
named The case will be Immediately
anIpa!rtl to the Supreme court.
