When, how- ! aver, ho retired, the project was revived, and, as ! the Company had alresdy scquired, by purchase, the La Crosso, Trempelont & Drescott, sn £on, decisive mensures were taken to supply tho . needed link. The threatening_attitude of other compsnies who were disposed to ocenpy the . territory, precipitated defnite action. A charter harlos Wallcer, , was secured, and a first mortgage covering tho 1 126 miles of road was oxecuted, nlso, bonds i running forty years, denominated * Madison | Extension Gold Bonds " were issued 2t the rato Directors took to mectings in the | airie towns | of $25,000 per mile.

The far- mers who had been hauling whest to Chitago from tho Fox Biver and the Rock River began to wonder sfterall if something might not e achieved to obviate spending from one to thras ‘weeks in marketing 100 bushels of wheat. Tht) road became a certainty, and the mansgers set at work to discuss the details. There were grave discussions whether the line from Chicago should make for Elgin or Ottaws; but it was de~ cided that Ottawa was happy ip. the prospective c¢anal, and would never need. a railroad. That was certain. » The Company bought the rejected flat: rail Zrom the Rochester & Batavia Railroad, in New Tork, now & part of thry Now York Central. This zail wasIaid st & cov't of $1,500 per mile, t be Teplaced three years after by T rail, ata costtof £4200.

Escanaba. The death of 3Mr. Keep made room for Alex-- ander Mitchell, of Milwaukeo, who, after ono. year, gave place to Join F. Tracy. His acces— - sion s led the inanguration of & new policy.. Milwaukeo was the centre of his predocessor's: interests, who, being the fignre-head as well aa: breeches-pocket of the railroad radisting there-. #rom, sought to make the Northwestern merely- .» foeder to the Milwaukee Company. The guc~ -psedine mansgemont thought better of it.. enry C. | severa\ deys ago, the line was completed on the Northwestern Company, in safe advance Vf the subsidy's limitation. Under tYe direction of an experienced en- gineer, the:new line is being surfaced and bal- Jasted ; and, on and after Jan. 1, trains laden with ore will be syn southward to the furnaces at De Pere, Applgfon, Milwaukee, and Chicago. Thoe marvellons progress of tho construction of railrosds and opher industrial enterprises in which iron is the principal component, has created a demand for the ore boyond the capac- ities of the old sources promptly and adequately to supply. It i8 therefore matter of common rejoicing et a vast and inexhaustible mining region should be rendered ezsily and constantly accessible€o Chicago enter- | prise. During last summer, & larpo party of £t. 1 Lonis capitalists, alarmed at the thréatened ex- Lanstion of the iron mountains of Missouri, vis- ited the Lake Superior region to ascerfain ihe extent of the supply, and the practicability of transporting it to the Carondelet farnnces. And, somewhat later, a party of Englishmen, repre- senting the wealthiest iron firmin Great Britain, ‘made a similar tour of inspection, and discoy=~ ered, due west from Escanaba, in Sections 10 and 6, Range 29, just beyond the famons Breen Mine, & richer and deeper vein of ore than any et opened. . THE BUSINESS FACTS. So impressed were they with the valua of ! their resoarches, that the erection of a large furnace in - Chicago was seriously templated. Captain £. B.

During the past senson the Northwestern C:mgmy transported 477,939 tons of oro, and 75,830 tons of pig iron to Es- cannbe, S0 urgent »nd continuous were the do- | ‘mand for more cars that the Company has com- wenced the construction of 700 new cars, in ad- dition to the 1,120 nowin use; and, as both tho old ore dock at Escanaba, and the hew one, 500 fect long, ncarly complefod, will be inado. | uate for next season’s prospective business, e odviesbility of extending it 600 feot further = is_ being - considered. From tho New England mine, which is just beyond the terminus of the Beninsula . Division—a branch is to be buftt to the Saginaw i i mine—owned by tho Cleveland Rolling Com- pany—who will ship at least 100,000 tons from this mine alone, during next year, Tho vein which has been opened in THE BACINAW MINE ‘promises to yield most sbundantly. Up one en- tire eide of the experimental *cut,” for about fifty feet perpendicular, is revealed & solid mass ; of iron. Bo encouraging is the prospect ar:d so | | 1 remunerative tho investments salready made, that the two roads traversing this valuable dis- trici—the Northwestorn end tho Marquette, Houghton & Ontonagon—have assurance that during the next eeason of navigation they will have opportunity to transport to Escanaba and Marquette fully TWO MILLION TONE OF TRON ORE. The statement might bo thought visionary, were it not warranted by the fact that these mines are worked in the immediato interests of ! the heaviest iron-manufacturers in the coun A who are obliged to resort to this illimitable source for supplies of the raw product. And, now that a route has been opened by which quicl transit can be had at all sensons, the benefits cor- tain to aceruo are smozingly gratifying. The settlement of TIE LAKE SUPERIOR REGION has kopt pace with the rapid development of its resources. Half a dozen towns, of saveral 1 thousand inhabitants each, have suddenly and .safely sprung up, aud, the ore being found with- in a few feet of tho surface in somo of the best producing mines, limits the hours of labor to day-work, and gives tho rainers their evenings for recreation and social intercourse. In the copper region, still further up tho Poninsula— where tho ore is found imbedded soveral hundred feot below the surface, it is continuel night to the elavish miners, who work in_suceessive gangs of cight hours each, day and night. ‘his district—wretched in itd goneral aspect—is still beyond tho reach of rail- roads. The rails, however, are being lnidin that direction, and our despatches annonnes that the exteusion of the Marquotte, Houghton & Ontonagon Railroad, which intersects the North- western at Negaunee, has reached L'Anse, on Eeweenaw Bay, about 80 miles short of THE COPPED DISTRICT. Tmmediate accoss thereto is of loss importence, ‘because copper has not—except in_three famons mines—been found in such paying quantitics, peither i8 it in such general and increasing de- mand as the more abundantiron, ‘With the view of making the connection with Chicago still shorter, AN ATR LINE is being_constructed between Milwankee and Fond du Lae. This will reduce the distance 80 miles, making the entire line between Chicago end Morquotto 401 miles inlength. A couplo of deep ‘“cuts” have delayed progress in loying the _iron. The prevalonco of the horse disease disabled every animal used upon the work at the most critical moment, These drawbacks may necessitate ‘postponement of tho final work until next spring, when the entire line will early be placed in run- ning order from Chicago to Fond du Lac. OTHER CUT-OFFS. A line from Milwaukee to Lodi, on the Madi- son Estension, was projected, and would have been constructed this yeer had not Milwaukeo frovned upon, instead of encouraged, what wogld be so greatly to her interests. The line is nbout seventy-fivo milos long, and will, prob- ably, be put through next year. Still another cut-off—abont sixieen miles Iong—1from Janesville, on the Wisconsin Divi- sion, to Eyansville on the Madieon Extension, was located, and will speedily be built, in order to straighten the through line to Alinnesota. A glance at tho map will show that the supplying of this cut-off would make an air line to the Blinnesota connection. The construction of some of the new Wiscon- sin lines will, doubtless, sensibly affect OUR LUMBER MAREET. ‘The West Wisconsin Railway, in its route from 8t. Peul to a junction with the Northwestern, at ZElroy, traverses the St. Croix-and Black Earth lumber regions. It will, therefore, apart from a Iarge through traffic cerfain to incrr, do & heavy ‘business in the trensportation of lumber. Turther east, the Wisconsin Central Railroad is being extended west and north_to Lake Supe- rior; and, elong its entire length, will reccivo ast shipments of lumber to be delivered to tho Northiwestern at Menasha. AT GREEN BAY the Loke Pepin Road, projected thenco to the | Minaiseippi River, i already constructed to Dex- terville, and will 8oon have 120 miles in opera- tion. For some time pest it has contributed largely to our lumber receipts. THE NEW ROUTE TO DUBUQUE. Amid so many evidences of increasing busi ness, there isone drawback. The Froeport subdi- vision is now a stub line. The incidents which made it 80 were developed in recent law proceed- ings, out of which the Illinois Central came tri- umphant. The Central then ““cut loose” from the Freeport connection and formed a little longer Chicego & Dubyque linc via the Chi- cago, Durlington & Quincy Railroad. The Northwestern has become soméwhat rovenged. The completion of the_ Ohicago, Olinton & Pus ‘huque Railway from Dubuque to Clinton, where it gtrikes the Northwestern, has resulted in tho successfgl ?ening of a through route, for pas- Bengers -an 1 the rival linois Central route. The vigor with which the river road north from Dubnauo (the Chicago, Dgbugue & Minnesota Railrond) 18 being Bguyhgd forward, gives assuranco that, very shorily, connéction with Winona Will bo establisher and & third through lino from Chicago to Bt. Paul be insugarated, with the sconic advantage of running the entire disiance from Clinton to St. Paul along tho west bank of the Mississippi River. WESTWARD FROM DULUQUE still another feeder to fthe Chicago railway sys- tem is being created—the Iowa Pacific Railroad. Fort Dodge is the objective terminus for the resent, but the ultimale intention is to run the ine through to tho Missouri River, The Towa Division of the Northwestern pre- sents no ners foctures other than the recent completion of the brauch from Stauwood to Tip- ton. Doubtless this c—eight miles long— wag hurried throagh in order to hend off tho projected lize from Clinton, through Tipton, and soathwest across the State. 1t is among the quite possible probebilities that this branch will 'bo extended through Iowa City to Osca~ loosa.

Peter Railroad, which wonld add over half a million, making & total of more than twelve millions. Thia year the earnings aro exceedingly gratifying; and, with the cone nections recently formed, thers ‘is every ageur- ance of the lm-ge!t result yet roached. Last ifiair the eighty-five miles between. Chicago and wauleo earned over $800,000 from ‘passen- gers alone. No piece of line in the West pro- sents such a profitabls Sassenger showing. The current year it may be decreased by competition with the new rival line. For years Northwestern stock has been among the most speculstive. Rival interests have flercely struggled for ita control. Yet, despite the conflicting, changeful managements, it hos progrossed until it has grown both grest and rosperous. It is & possession worth coveting, umors, confidently circulated, say that out of tho recent Wall street fight the younger Vander- Dilt party camo triumphant; and that, on the retirement of & sufficient number of the present Directors, tho Lake Shore party (who control the Union Pacific Railroad) will assume the | directory and consummate the stupendous pro- ject of & continnous trans-continental line— from New York to San Francisco—un- der one imnediate control, The same authority is given for the statement that the reason pre- ference over the two other Chicsgo and Omahs lines is 5§ven the Northwestern 18, because the Intter will, eventrally, have tho sdditional ad- vantage of the best connection with the North- orn Pacific Railroad, which, by many Eastern capitalists, is regarded nsthe future inter-oceanic route. A fow mooths—perhaps less—will dispel all uncertainty. Meantime, whatever party shall control this mammoth organization, its interests are identical with the prosperity of ‘the cityfrom which it iatos; and, a8 ‘stockholdsrs aro alwaya alive to the most ‘profitable returns, they will quickly find these best secured by so_shap- ing the policy of the road as will most materially conduco to the prosperity of the city that gave it birth and matured it into a vigorous 0. e e N A WIFE'S TITLE TO REAL ESTATE. An Entirely New Decision Affecting the Property of a Bank. rupt’s Wife. The Provision Made for the Woman to Be Ascertained and Made by the Court. ‘The matter of the petition for review of Fred- ericka Brandt, up for argument before Judge Drummond, hss been decided. This is the case in which the motion to dissolve the injunction against the petitioner, restraining her from col- Iecting the rents of her real estate, was ovor- ruled by Judge Blodgett in the District Court, in the matter of her husband's bankruptcy, and from which decision her counsel took an appeal to tho United States Circuit Court by petition for review, assigning this decision of Judge Blod- gett a8 error, and asking Judge Drummond to reverse the samo. The question involved is im- portant, as the title to much of the real estate held by married women in this city stands m the sameo woy as in this case, viz.: conveyed by the husband to a third party, and by the third party 1o the wifo, tho husband being entirely solvent. Judge Blodgett held that the creditors of the ‘husband were entitled to the rents and profits of this real estate. Mr. Boutelle, Assistant Dis- trict Attornoy, representing the creditors, took the ground, before Judge Drummond, 1. That, under the Married Womon's act of this Stato, of 1861, the wife. could not hold thia property as her separate property, because property acquired from the husband is specially excepted from the provisions of that act ; and 2. That, at common law, the husband is en- titled to the rents and profita of the wife's real estate, during connection, unless the property has been specially limited to her separate use. Mr. John W. Els, of Ela & Parker, represont- ing the potition, took the gronnd 1. That the wifeis entitled to theso rents under the statute of 1861, not having acquired the pm&urty from her husband within the mean- ing of the exception in that act, the policy of the Courts being & liberal construction of these provisions for sapport of wife and family. 2. Bhe is entitled to these rents at the common law, and without reference to tho stat- ute. The rule that the property must be limited ‘q the wife's separate uso not applying where i 18 a gift from the husband to the wife. + , Even if the Court should hold that this'*s not tho separate property of tho - wife, wher. creditors are asking the Court to_subject the in. sme of the wife's property to the hus- band’s « 3bts, the Court should order a reference to ascert.in whether any provision has been made for the maintenance of the wife and family, and, if not, then the Court should make such plx;::im:n out Tr:ym incomkt:h;n the prin- ciple that where a p: is geeki equity he ghall first do equity. Many suthorities wWore cited on both sides, and the argument occupied the entire day. Yesterdsy morning an elsborate decision was rendqred by Judge Drummond. It, in effect, sustained the two points made by the counsel for the creditors ; holding that on a construc- tion of the statute and the rules of the com- mon law together, the wife could not hold the income of this property as her scparate prop- orty ; but susteined the last point made by counsel for the petitioner, and directed a refer- enco after adjudication in bankruptey, to ascer- tein the value of the income, thatthe Court might make & suitable provision for the wife and family ; and directed a modification of the in- junetion. This question is an entirely new one, snd the discussion will haye the effeot to considerably unsettle titlea to this class of . property. —_— A Reminiscence of the Late Edwin Forrest. From the New York World, ‘““How was he in his relation with other actors ?” 2 “Just 88 ho was with everybody whom he met, If they happened to please him, well and good; 1f not, it was uncomfortgble for them if hey came in contact with him. - To use a_slang word, he was extremely apt to ‘bully’ all in tho theatre, from the manager down. But he onco met his match. It was when he was playing at the old Broadway Thoatrs, néar Pearl street. His pieces were followed by an exhibition of lions by their tamer, a certain Herr Driesbach. Forrost was one dsy_ saying that he had never been afraid in all Lis life— could not imagine the emotion. Driesbach made no remarks at the time, but in the evening, when the curtain had fallen, invited Forrest home with him, Forrest assented, and the two, entering s house, walked a lon; dishmcrg through many devigus pnssages—all dark—until ly Drlotbach, opening 7 daor, aid, ‘* This way Mr. Forrost.” ' Forrest ontered, and_immedistely heard the door slammed and looked behind him. Ho had not time to express any surpriso 8t this, for at the same moment he felt someihipg soft rubbing against his leg, and putting out his hand touched what felt like a cat’s back, A rasping growl saluted the motion, and he saw two fiery, glaring eyeballs looking up ot him. ‘Are you afraid, Mr. Forrest?' asked Driesbach, invisible in the darimess, ‘Not & bit.’ Driesbach eaid somothing; the growl deepened snd became horser, the back began to arch, and the oyes -to shine more flercely, Forrest held out iwo or three minutes, but the symptoms bacame 50 ter- rifying that hé owned up in so many words that e was afraid. ‘Now let me out, you infernal scoundrel,’ he said to tho lion-tamer, ‘and I'll Lreak every bone in your body.’ He was impru- dent there, for Driesbach kept him, not daring to move o finger, with the lion rubbing against his Jeg sll the time, nntil Forrest promised not gnly immanity, but 8 champagne supper into the Argain.

DIVERSION. At 1 o'clock the proceedings were adjourned until 2, but 2 came and no witnesses. Mr. Coop- | er lo the announcement that the Marshal | had gone out to subpeens fifteen ortwenty. The ‘Assignee perambulated the floor and sucked a cigar while the attorneys eat sround discussing military affairs—fighting being somowhat skin tolaw, At 8:15 Mr. Cooper observed that “ this was outrageous,” and started to scare up Wit~ nesses, xahumn'“F soon after to announce that four or tive would be on handin the twinkling of & bed-post, sud keop them going all night. Tn the meantime Mr. Smith told = good water melon anecdote. Then came a Jew story, and & story of the fire, and then—4:15—when the lawyers decided to adjourn until this morning. Sl e SUPREME COURT REPORTING. The address of the Chicago Law Institute to tho Bar and Press of the State, on the subject of o speedier and cheaper publication of the Bupreme Court reports, has just been issued in pomphlet form. The address sets forth that there is & general complaint that the reports aro excessive in price, deficient in quantity, and di- latory in appearance, and legisiative interposi- tion of a decided and radical character is impera~ tively demanded. Heretofore, the crioluments of the official Reporter have been greatly in ex- cess of a liberal compensation, although respon- sible parties had offered to produce the reporta at the price and in less than_one-third the Hime, The books conld be profitably sold at §2.50 each. Tt is estimated that, for a gix years’ term, under o pro- ge\‘ systom, the saving to the Bar-and tate would amount to $98,280; and that the Reporter's profits, during his official term of six years, will foot up the sum of $91,087.50, or an annual profit of $15,181.95, & compensation larger than the combined salarics of the Gover- nor, Lientenant Governor, Secretary of Stats, and Auditor of Accounts, and nearly four times ‘the salary of a SBupreme Court Judge! The ad- dress recommends that the Reporter be compen- sated by salary instesd of being allowed profits, eo that his interest - shall cense to be the least matter in the most books. The delay in the publication of the reports is a subject of comman notoriety and complaint, Their Te time of appearance, after the form of submission, is two years; that is, %mcticflly thers is an in- terval of that length between the Court end tho bar. Any tolerably well stocked Inw library, public or private, or law book store, in tha country, which contains a respectable array of State Teports, avouches not only that the resources and facilities of law book publishers for speedy work are quite equal to those of pub- lizhers in miscellaneous departments, but, that in 1 comparison of dates of reports, and as to their _promptness of appesrance, those of Illinois most conspicua suffer. In conclusion, the Committee signing the address ro- ectfully and eamestly invite, particularly the members of the profession in tho State, and suoh editors, also, os maybe willing to aid us with their columns, to actively concur with us in & movement for early and decisive legielative action to chespen and expedito the Teporta of our Supreme Court. Tho committee, | or any of its members, will ba ploased to confer with gentlemen of ths bar, by correspondence or otherwise, in reference to the accomplishment of tho purpose commended in the resolution of the Chicago Law Institute, and all who concur with us in this movement sre requested to sig- nify the same by note tothe Cheirman of the Committee.” Jomy Lyvie Kmva, Joseri P. CLARESOX, ABrAM M, PENCE, Jaxzs L. Hiex, BHERMAN, Committes, L — A Bevolting Story. From the New Albany (Ind.) Ledger, Dez, 13, The particulars of the death and burial of a mx&lgapox patient in this city has just been re- ported to us, whish contains some revolting details, and which, if true, demands moro than & mere mention. Some_thres weeks or moro ago, a colored mon named Brutus Smith, living on Upper Fourth street, was taken down with this terrible disease, and’ died on Mondsy, the 23th of last month. After his death the notorious Bill Watkins was emploged to bury his body. It is eaid that he went {0 the bed, seized the dead man by the legs, dragged him out of tho bed on to the floor, and thence down thestairway, where 1 placed the body in & tough box, Dhauled it out 0 West Union, and kept it for ne: & week before it was intarred. - i 1t is also rumored that Watkins never interred the body in any of the burial grounds, but con- veyed i toa swamp aud ther covered it from sight.
