Artioles of inoorporation of the Detroit, Ann Arbor & Ypsilanti Eleotrio Railway were flled at Lansing Wednesday. The oapital stock of the company is $400,000, and among the incorporators are James D. Hawks, president of the Detroit & Maokinac railway ; S. F. Angus, John C Liggett, Obadiah Binghain and M. J. Griffln, of Detroit. It is intended to build from the present terminus of the Detroit Electric Railway on Michigan ave, in Springwells to the city line of Ypsilanti, conneoting there with the Ypsilanti & Ann Arbor motor line, and, probably, eventually consolidating with it. The projectors of this road 'will probably acqnire Albert Pack's interest in the Detroit & Saline Plank Eoad Co. 's property, and take up the project of building the road to Ypsilanti. M. J. Griffin, as contractor, will begin work next week on the road in Springwells, and if no delay is experienced in gettiug franohises from the township of Dearborn the road will be built to Dearborn and probably to Wayne this winter. The winter, of conrse, is an important faotor to be considered in the work. The bond issne of the road is practically all snbscribed. - Detroit Free Press. The Detroit Evening Journal, of last evening, States the prevailing opiniĆ³n n Detroit is "that this road is fathered by people connected with or inspired to a considerable degree by the Michigan Central railroad, in its general polioy of puiling every string which will shut off opposition lines and make its own bold more secure." The Journal speaks of the proposition as the most alluring to Detroit miuds and predicts that the liue would treble the business between Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Detroit.
