Last month, although tho trafic was Ught, 1,200 rails were broken, al- thongh tho rato of speed was reduced, and con- sidcrablo damago resulted.

E, Hinckloy, of this city, the Chicago & Towa, Btreator & Pekin, and Chicago + Paduca Kailroads, and the Chleago & Alton ftailrond. ‘To tho gentleman coutrolling the former lines tho new road would havo been of incalculable ; benefit. \ ‘Tha Chicago & Towa Railroad,(\. which Sy waa originally intended to zrun to this city, aud thos givo sa outlet to tho Streator & Pekin and Chicago & Paducah Roads, was stopped at Aurora, its prosent terminus, from which point all the busi- ess of these throes lincs has to go over tho Cli- cago, Burlington & Quincy, < ‘By comploting the Illnola River Railroad from Btreator to Braidwood, aud from Jolict to Chi- eego, Mr. Hinckley would have had almost an sir-lins to thia city, and hence his anxiety to get control of it, But the same in‘ineuco which pro- yeutod the completion of the Chicago & lows to this city, and forced its terminus at Aurora, was again bronght to bear agaiuat tho vow schema of Mr. Hinckloy, Had tho Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad allowed Air. Ilinckler to get contro! of this line, it would havo lout all tho business which Mx. Hinckley must of neces- aity now consign to it, , Therefore the mannge- ment of the Chicago, Burlington & Quivey brought such influenco to bear upon 3{r. Hinck= Toy as to couse him to give up tho ides of con- trolling an indopendent line to this city. Tho Chicago & Alton Railroad hod actoally no uso for tho Illinois Biver Road, aa its main Jino ran through tho same ooal-ticids, But to allow it to fall Into tho banda of another lino would havo created a very dangerous rival, ospecially for the Braidwood aud Wilming- this line has got coal traffic of ton conl-flelds, - Dy securing tho Chicago & Alton Railroad rid of 8 «dangerous competitor and retained control of tho whole coal trafic from the above kection, For the preecae no additions ‘will be mado to tho road, but it will bo used a5 6 coal road mainly, though one or twa pasyongor= the tratos may bern to the proront torminus daily if tho business will warrantit, At Joliet, con- nection is mado with the maiit line. ee MISCELLANEOUS.
