home to labor in your respective
fields. Go home to give. Give es-

Put UNDER CoNTRACT.-lt was ru-
mored in this city a few days sinccthat the
licmpdeld road east of the Monongahcl a
River had been put under contract, lrav-
Ing the link from Washington to the
river still in an indefinite condition. Yes.
terday's Pittsburgh Commercial had the
following in reference to the entire tex.
tension:
During the past week the long cOntcm.
plated railroad between COnnellsvillG and
Wheeling has been put under contract.
1t had been generally considered that the
proposed construction Of an air line road
from Pittsburgh 10 Chicago, would SO far
give the Pittsburgh, Washington & Bal.
timOre Railroad Company route West,
that the project OF finishing the old
Hemptield Road would be abandoned
The TACT that the contracts arc given out
shows that such is not the case. The
great increase of freight traffic on the
Baltimore IL Ohio Road, and the uneX.
peCted delay experienced in obtaining
the right OF way for the Chicago line
have impelled the immediate construction
OF this communicating link between the
main stem at Wheeling and the G naclls
vile line East, so that the b. r,u..r, &
Ohio Road may be relieved q. the grcs
sure upon its carrying capac.'y The
road will be finished as quick as possible
and considerable amount OF rolling
stock has already been ordered for il.
The completion of this road will no
prevent the building Of the new one Il
Chicago. AS has already been stated, thu
contracts for that road between Ravenna
OHIO, and Chicago have been let, ant
those from that point to Pittsburgh vii
be given out carly next month"
