The North Western Railway Company
Release Trust Deeds Aggregating
Over a Million Dollars.
BEEN ON RECORD SINCE 1854.
Releases Are Filed This Morning For All
the Bonded Indebtedness of the
Road in this County

Business must be good with the Chi
cago and Northwestern Railway Com
pany as this morning the officials of
the company filed in the office Of the
Register of Deeds releases from trusts,
deeds and mortgages on the property
of the road aggregating $1,135,000.
The trust deeds released represent the
entire indebtedness of the road as
shown on the book of this county.
The mortgages are three in number
and have been on the records of the
register for nearly half century. The
first trust deed released was the one
given at the time of the building of
the old Chicago and Milwaukee road in
1884. It was given to Thomas Be1knap
and Julius Wadsworth, of Hartford,
Conn, and the amount was 100000.
The second mortgage was given in
1858 to Norman B. Judd and Elisha M.
Gilbert of Chicago and was for the
sum of $500, 900, and the last one was
given to Edward K. Rogers in 1860 to
secure bonds to the sum of S135,000.

breakfast was served to a few of the
immediate friends OF the young peo-
pie. Mr.. and Mrs. Rhode left at 10
O'Clock for Mackinac Island, where
they will make a short visit. They
will return to Kenosha in the near flu
ture and will make their home on Ash
land avenue.

PAID GREAT TSl|BEGGS TO co AROUND
Milwaukee Company VIII Make No
Further Efforts to get Through
Kenosha With Their Road.
WILL BUILD RIGHT AROUND.
Work on Line Running Between Kenosha
and Chicago to be Started at once
Milwaukee Companys Last Bluff.


The Milwaukee Electric Railway and
Light company is to start the pre1in1i-
nary work this fall on what is by far
the largest enterprise that the COM
pany has SO far sattenpted. General
Manager John l.. Beggs said last night
that his company is to construct an
electric line to Chicago, which, the
general manager declares, will be so
built and equipped that Its cars will
equal the rate of speed maintained by
the steam railways.
The new line will include the rebuilt
portion Of the present Milwaukee, RAJ
cine & Kenosha line and will branch
out west of Racine, cut past the city
limits of Kenosha, not running
through this city and probably pass
the western limits of Waukegan.
According to Mr.. Beggs the line will
be equipped with larger and faster
cars than are now used on any of the
company's tracks, and the line will be
Strengthened so as to permit of fast
travel.
The engineering work, he says, will
begin this fall, and in the spring the
work on the new road may be com
menced, as at that time it is expected
iron and other supplies will have
dropped considerably below their pres
ent high quotations.
"The granting of a franchise to Chi
cago men for a street railway line in
Kenosha last night will not affect us a
particle, said Mr.. Beggs yesterday,
when he was asked if the Milwaukee
company would arrange with the men
to whom the franchise was granted
for the right to operate through cars
over their line.
"Neither do we expect to work with
the Chicago Waukegan 1ine", contin-
ued Mr., Beggs, ''but we shall send out
engineers some time this fall, we ex-
pect, to look over the ground for new
line between this city and Chicago.
We shall build line that will equal
the time made by the steam roads and
the Kenosha line would not permit of
our running such cars on its tracks.
We shall not try to run into Kenosha
at all but shall run close to the city
limits and shall have our own route
from Kenosha through to Chicago.
elbow do we expect to make as fast
time as the steam road? By straighten-
ing our tracks and putting on larger
cars with more power behind them.
We shall probably run west of Racine,
past Kenosha and possibly west of
Waukegan also. No, we shall not
leave the present Milwaukee-Racine
line as it is. 1t will be Strengthened to
permit of Our making faster time.
"The past year we have not done any
work on the suburban extensions and
no more repair work than was neces-
sary, as the price of construction ma
teria1s was too high. The indications
are now, however, that prices will be
so much lower next spring, that we
can go ahead with our plans.

Mayor German May Take no Cficial
Action on the Railway Ordinance.
1t is reported about the streets this
morning that Mayor German will take
no official action to veto the railway
ordinance passed last Monday even
ing. The Mayor refuses to state that
this is the stand he will take on the
question, but states that he does not
know what will be done in regard to
the ordinance. There is no donbt but
that the Mayor is piqued on account of
the action of the Council IN passing
the ordinance on Monday, after the
active opposition he had made to the
franchise, and it seems evident that if
the company lives up to the agreement
with the city there will be little use
for the Mayor to use his veto power,
as the ordinance would be promptly
passed over the veto.
AS the ordinance now stands the
mayor seems to think that he is in no
way connected with its passage, and
will probably let the members Of the
Council who voted for it reap the re-
wards or calumnies of their actions
1t is certain that the mayor will not
affix his name to the ordinance, but it
may be allowed to become a law with
out the mayors signature.
