TEARING UP A RAILROAD.
The Ashleys Generally Carry Their Poin;
When They Set Out.—An Indignant People.
Great indignation exists among the
people along the South Lyon branch of
the T. & A. A. By. They helped build
the road by liberal cash donations and
right of way, and are now left in the
cold. The Argus thus gives an accoun t
of the proceedings:
A large gang of men were put at
work on the South Lyon branch Sunday tearing up the rails, loading the
iron on flat cars with the evidert intention of abandoning the road. The men
came largely from Owosso and a dispatch to a Detroit evening paper said
they were ottered S3 for a few hours'
wox'k, their destination being unknown.
The people of South Lyon secured an
intimation on Saturday, however, that
the road was to be torn up Sunday and
at once notified railroad commissioner
Whitman, who notified the railroad
company that the work must not be
done. On Sunday, however, all but
about three miles of the track was torn
up. An attempt was made to buy provisions from the farmers for the gangs,
but not a farmer could be found who
would furnish them food to eat, for love
or money.
As will be remembered the Toledo
& Ann Arbor road originally built
what is now known as a branch as part
of their main line, the terminus of the
road at one time being South Lyon.
After a time, however, the road was

known as the South Lyon branch.
To secure tbe original building of the
South Lyon branch the people liviug
along the line of tho road had contributed beside the right of way some ?16,-
000. Naturally they had some rig'hts
For a series of years
road operated the
branch in such a manner as to call-
forth vigorous and frequent complaints
from the people of that section.
The assistance of the rai.U'Oa'l commissioners was several tiroes invoked.
The people chargecj that the road was
operated, in such a way as to make it
|ii';-,utlcally useless, to. them. Finally,
last spring, the Ann Arbor road filed a
petition in the circuit court of this
county, asking for leave to abandon the
road, take up the ties, remove the station houses and seek pastures new. The
people entered their appearance, Invoked the aid of the railroad commissioner, petitioned the Ashleys and held
an emphatic meeting in South Lyon.
Nothing was ever done in the abandonment proceedings, the case being never
brought up for hearing.
The next step iu the program was the
formation of the South Lyon & Northern road incorporated foe $100.000,com-
posed of New York parties, John L.
Burleigh, the, -.vhtlotn editor of the Ann
\rbor Democrat, being the only one
known to residents of this vicinity. V
deed was recorded last August} Ivorn the
Ann Arbor road to this company of the
South Lyon branch. The nominal consideration insev-tott in the deed was
§140,000. R was recorded by John L.
Bwv-leigh.    *
The question now is, did this company pay 5140,000 for the privilege of
taking up the old ii-oa on the road'?   Or
was it, as tha "foaiu-eiats along ' the line
intimate, a company formed solely for
the purpose of allowing the T., A. A. &
|"M. M. E. It. to abandon the branch, the
j new company being beyond the reach
j of the courts?
It goes without saying that the residents of this section are hot and propose to try and inforcc their rights.
R-ailroad Commissioner Whitman has
promised to do all that he can to secure them redress, and later developments may be expected.

Tbe Best Sa-cye in the world for Cuts,
The signature of the late General
Jrancis E. Spinner, ex-treasurer of the
United States, was one of the worst
stumbling-blocks for forgers and counterfeiters that ever was devised. He
originated it when a harness-maker's
apprentice in Amsterdam, N. Y., at
seventeen, practiced on it in later
years when he became a congressman,
and perfected it as treasurer of the
United States. The writing of the signature involved considerable labor and
when General Spinner affixed it to
many Treasury notes in a day it is said
that" his wrist became so swollen and
painful that it had to be swathed in
wet cloths. While treasurer Mr. Spinner earned the gratitude of the women
of this country by being the first man
to admit members of their sex to the
government service. He was eighty-
eight years old when he died in Florida from the cancer that had been
slowly eating away his iife. He was
born in what is now known as Mohawk, N. Y., and his father, who had
left the Roman catholic priesthood to
become a protestant clergyman, educated him carefully first and then had
him learn both the trades of a confectioner and harness-maker. He followed neither, but became a merchant
and then the cashier of a bank, holding various town, county and state
offices in the meantime, and winning
his military title in the state militia.
General Spinner was elected to congress as an anti-slavery democrat and
served on the committee that investigated the assault of Preston Brooks on
Charles Sumner. He was re-elected
as a republican. President Lincoln
called him to the United States treas-
urership in 1861, and he held the place
for fourteen years, when he resigned.
The general's precision in even the
most minute matters was shown in his
last official act, when, having discovered a deficiency of 1 cent in the mouej
in the treasury, he ordered a recount,
requiring several weeks, found the discrepancy, balanced his books and retired.
A Story of a Ham.
"Young man, take my advice, and
pay for things as you go. Do not rut
up bills."
This was the sage advice a well-
known business man gave the Star reporter yesterday. "Why?" continued
he, "because in the end you will have
to pay for it all, and there is no telling
for how much else besides. I will tell
you of a little incident that caine under my observation recently, and you
will see why I say so. The proprietor
of a large provision store in this city
made a credit sale of a fine ham to one
of his customers, but much to his surprise he found out a little later that he
had forgotteu to whom he sold it and
failed to make any note of it.
"This botheredhim somewhat, until
a happy thought struck him. He cudgeled the gray matter in his brain and
recalled the names of thirteen men
who had happened to be in the store
at the time the transaction took place,
though for the life of him he could not
think who had gone off with that piece
of swine. But, nothing daunted, he
went back and told his bookkeeper to
charge up one ham to each of those
thirteen different accounts, telling him
at the same time that when twelve of
the men objected to paying for it to
explain to them that it was a mistake
that would not occur again.
"What happened? Why, twelve of
that party paid their bills without a
question, and only oue raised any objection oh account of the pork item.
So at least eleven, and very likely all
twelve, had x>aid for something they
had not bought, and that some one
else had disposed of. Steer clear of
bills."—Washington Slai:
