Loula to the Illinols Central, which would thus bo accomplisted without that Company violating its compace with the Wabash. Others Bay that the abject of the corporation Is merely to gain the right to make a survey, and that, when this has been done, some of the companics rupning to thia city will be found ready to undertake the conatruction of the proposed road..
