WASHINGTON & OHIO r. p,
S9,5OO,o00 Of Stock Taken
From the Weston Democrat! D.!

uur Young friend Jas. Spalding, who
has been engaged in the engineer corps
OF this road dnring the past summer
has returned home for winter quarters,
and from him we gather many interest
ing facts respecting the road, ITS pros
poets and advantages.
1t is ascertained that the distance
from Washington TO the Ohio River,
bv way of Weston, is 32j{ miles, on a
grade not exceeding 52 feet elevation to
the mile. The actual survey of the
entire distance between Washington
and the Ohio has shortened the csti-
mated distance II! miles, and this
road will reach Cincinnati 100 miles
shorter than by any road now made or
projected. This will be done at grade
Of - feet to the mile as compared with
ll6I feet (the grad. OF the Baltimore
Il Ohio road-its great rival These
advantages would seem to warrant the
conclusion that capital will seek the
investment and that the road will be
completed at an early day.
Since the above was in type we learn
bv gentleman from Washington City
that a few capitalists at the North have
already taken up $9,j0OOO0 worth Of
the bonds, and that there will be no
difficulty in dsposing OF the rest He
further informs W. that part Of the road
has been placed under contract, and
tina, workmen will push the enterprise
as rapidly as possible as soon as spring
opens. We understand that the per
sons owning property along the line Of
the road in the eastern counties, have
freely given to the company the right
of way through their lands, and are
doing all in their power to aid IN the
completion Of this important thor
oughfare.
Besides this, it appears that the Pitts
burg and Charleston railroad has been
organized, with iair prospects, for q
cross railroad, which will make Weston
the centre Of all West Virginia railroad
attractions. AZ for US, we "trnst tc
luck" We have a broad country
plenty OF room for railroads and Other
developements-and we give to all such
enterprises hearty welcome.

fully organized with Superintendent
Hoag as President Fiity-tour dele
gates were present, representing four
teen tribes, including all the civilized
tribes. The most important subject up

| izing territorial government embracing
all the tribes
Yesterday Mr.. Campbell, Of the
7 Chicasaw nation, from special com
mittee, reported the form OF plan Of
organization, republican in form. 1t
provides for the Executive, Legislative,
and judicial Departments; the Govern
ment to be based upon, and be strictly
( in conformity with the various treaties
! of 1866. The plan contemplates the
protection of the weaker against the
oppression from the stronger tribes,
and is not to be binding upon any
until their consent is obtained After
the reception oi the report, the Council
adjourned till morning TO give time for
deliheration on so important q meas
ure. There is considerable caucussing
over the matter. Everything thus far
is conducted with decency and order.
W. P. Ross, q leading Cherokee, IN
an interview with the Commission
ers, expressed himself in favor OF q con-
federation without Congressional inter
ference.
Superintendent Hoag has just re-
returned from an extensive tour among
the Cheyennes, Arapahoes, Kiowas and
Camanches. Latanta, the noted kiowa
Chief, wanted ammunition, complained
that the Texans came up and shot his
people, and wished the camp supply re-
moved so he could hunt on the North
Fork of the Canadian river. Favorable
reports are given from some Of the
, other tribes. The Appaches, Of New
, Mexico were on the head waters OF th'
, Brazos river, and it was feared the,
would come down on the Kiowa ant

THE ROAD DOES NOT RUN THROUGH
A WILDERNESS, where it would have to
wait years for population and business, but
through the most thickly settled and product

gives each section lar traffic as soon as com

SURPRISE MAsQUERADE.-Last evening the
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Houghton and
Mr.. and Mrs. Fallon (who reside at the Preble
House, decided upon giving them a surprise
masquerade. So Chambers Quadrille Band
was engaged, the spacious dining room of the
hotel placed in excellent condition to accom-
modate dancing party, and about half-past
eight the music struck up march and the
masquers, who numbered some thirty-five
couples, arrayed in elegant costumes, made
their grand entree. Suddenly there appeared
lady who fascinated all beholders. She was
attired in black short dress, heavily trimmed
with gold lace, long blonde tresses descended
below her waist, her feet were encased in neat
red boots, while pair of ravishing ankles at
tracted every eye. The attentions she received
were general. She fairly earned the title of
belle of the evening. About eleven the party
unmarked, and then-ah yes! and then-the
fair one with the golden locks turned out to be
Mr.. Fallon. The character was most capitally
carried out, no one suspecting for a moment
that he was other than he seemed. An ele-
CANT supper was served in the ladies' parlor,
and the gay dance went on until the small
hours

AZ the vote was being taken the fact became

responsible for the affair, which Mr.. Wood of
New York, denied, declaring that Gen. Han

Mr. Stevenson of Ohio, claimed that the re-
sponsibility rested solely with the man who
executed the order The truth was the Quak-
er's broad brim had been assumed by certain
gentlemen of the House for no other purpose
than to attack Gen. Sheridan. He would not
give Phil. Sheridan GLORIOUS cavalry Phil.) for
all the wild Indians between the Mississippi
and the Pacific, and if there were a great many

still would not trade. Naughter)
