OF THE UNION TRACTION.
The valley Railway Company
American Bond Company n
Local Concern.

Yesterdays great run of business in the
secretary of states office more than atoned
for Saturdays inactivity. Before Secretary
Hunt went home last night he had re-
ceived over 81, 600 in incorporation fees, all
of which will be turned into the state
treasury. Two more interurban roads were
Incorporated yesterday.
The Muncie, Middletown & Greenfield
Railroad Company. capitalized at 100000,
is announced 10 build a line of road from

~chanicsburg, in Henry county, and the

are William H. Wood, Beecher w. Bennett.
Charles B. Fudge, Frank Litzenberger, E.
L. Elliott, William II. Keesling, George w.
Duncan, Montgomery Marsh and William
I. Garriott.
on account of the fact that the new road,
II built, will connect the Greenfield inter-
urban road with Muncie, which is a termi-
nal Of the Union Traction Company's sys-
tenn, it was thought that perhaps Mr.. Nc
Culloch might be interested in the pros
pective new road. He said last night, how
ever. that he is not in any way connected
with the new interurban. I'm fact, said
he, II understand that they are claiming
their road will be a competitor or the
Union Traction Companys line, since 1t
will connect with Indianapolis by way or
Greenfield 1t is difficult to understand
the competition, inasmuch as the Union
Traction Companys line between Muncle,
Anderson and Indianapolis Is ten miles
shorter than the line between Muncle,
Greenfield and indianapolis will be.
The Wabash Valley Railway Company:
capitalized at only $4,000, proposes TO build
an interurban road through a fine strip OF
Indiana territory. The new line, when
built, will extend through wabash, Peru,
Logansport. Delphi and Lafayette, and will
also have lines connecting the cities named
over and upon the lines of the FORMER Wa
bash and Erie canal. If ii shall be deemed
advisable the line will be EXTENDED from
the eastern imits of Wabash to the lower
lock at Lagro, Ind. The road will run
through the counties of Wabash. Miami,
