chesapeake and Ohio Railroad co.

I RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 2.-The Chesa'
peake and Ohio Railroad Company has
not vet been able to master the financial
difficulties with which 1t has been beset
since the great panic of last year. At
the annual meeting just held here, it was
authoritiyely stated that it would be inn
possible for the company to proceed with
any assurance Of success, unless all the
bondhoiders agreed to fund their bonds
ns proposed by the board. The board OF
directors are now seriously entertaining
the Thought Of discontinuing the through
freight and passenger. trains which have
for some time past been running with =
the hope Of building up a profitable
western We trade. But as there are no rail
connections beyond Huntingdon as the
Ohio river is not always full Of water,
and as boats cannot always run, and
as the Baltimore and Ohio Reilroad is an
active and irrepressible competitor, the
Chesapeake and Ohio Company has
found that these through trains do moi
pay. i--a --alL u t.il '---'

men worked when the thermometer,

radiation Of heat from the open doors,
marked 20 degrees. In the Bessemer
pits the men continue kind of labor
requiring great muscular effort at l40
degrees. In some of the operations OF
glass-making the ordinary summer
working temperature 10 considerably
over 100, and the radiant heat to which
the workmen are subjected far exceeds

walked proudly up to the polls and voted
