LAKE SHORE RAILROAD.-We copy
the following in relation to the survey
OF the Lake Shore Road from the She.
boygan Times OF the 20th.
THE surveying party on the Lake
Shore Railroad from this city to Mani
towoc, under the immediate control of
Mr.. Bryant p. Tilden, of this city, AS
sistant Engineer Of the road, has near
ly or quite reached Manitowoc City.
This is the locating survey, and the
route has proven very superior one
for railroad building. The line will
be nearly straight, and bat one bridge
of any accoupt-that across the Pigeon
river, about q miles from Sheboygan.
From the point on Thirteenth street in
this city. where the grade reaches the
plateau from the river bottom, to one
mile north Of the town line in Mosel
the road will be an airline. There
a slight curvature or DETECTION of ten
degrees occurs, and then an airline
again for six miles, three and half
Of which, ir the towns of Moselle and
Centeryille, do not vary five feet from
dead level 10 the whole distance.
And yet the ground was not so wet as
to prevent their working in the wet
test time this spring. This tract is
we'll provided with hard timber. At
the end of this six miles air line, an
other detection Of nine and a half de-
grees occurs, followed by an air line OF
four miles. Then third detection of
about ten degrees is followed by an
airline of about five miles. Thence
into Manitowoc it will be less straight.
"We understand that work will
commence on the grace northward
from this city in a short time"

James Mullane of Franklin, died
quite suddenly on Sunday April l2. 1t
is thought that an attack OF the pre-
vailing influenza brought on hemorr-
hage OF the lungs from which he died.
Mr.. Mullane was one OF the early set
tiers Of Franklin, man OF the most
generous impulses, thoroughly devoted
to his friends and with record OF hon
esty which any man might envy. He
was school clerk for many years OF the
district in which he lived and labored
increasingly for the advancement Of
the public school. Though man Of
positive convictions he had no enemies
rs no one doubted his sincerity. James
Mullane was good citizen and his
loss will be seriously felt in the com
muni.y in which he lived.
