An illustration OF the immense bus
iuess done ty Wheeling merchants
and manufacturers, over the line Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, is Afford
ed BY the fact that the freights paid by
one firm, Messrs. DEWEY. VANCE and
Company, average $3.50 per day. Bear
in mind that this is solely upon mate
rial received; the freight upon the man
ussctured articles sent abroad 10 paid
at the ether end of the line. This single
firm pays, on an average, to the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad company,
$4,000 per year for bearing to this
CITY materials which are here changed
into other forms and shipped to custom
ers abroad.
1t is probable that this is the largest
sum paid to the railroad company BY
any individual firm in this city,
but it constitutes only q
small part OF the aggregate
revenue which the railroad receives
from the manufacturers and merchants
here. Certainly such a trade is worth
cultivating and fostering by the B. & O.
authorities, and it is reasonable to iup>
pose that when the facts are fully
known better understanding may be
effected between the people OF
Wheeling and the railroad company
than has existed for many
years heretofore. II is plainly to the
interest OF both parties 10 inaugurate
and maintain friendly relations, and we
are not without hope that the time may
soon come when the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad company may be regard
ed as the ally and friend OF Wheeling
trade, and when all complaints of un-
just discrimination against our local
interests NAV entirely cease.

The Reservoir Disaster.

SpRNGrlELD, May ls.-The search
for dead bodies has been going on all
day, in Mill river valley, and will be
continued far several days and even
weeks. The meadows are so deeply
covered with debris that it is feared
many dead bodies have yet been undis-
covered. A number were recovered to-
day and it is now thought that yester,,,
day's estimate OF 200 lives lost may fall
even below the actual truth. The ex-
tent OF the disaster increases rather
than dimiuishes and it 10 asyet impos-
sible 10 give a. full and reliable estl-
mate of the loss of life and property.
At Haydenyille to-day, 60 families APP
pl eI for aid. The whole community
are moving in the work of relief and
everything that can, will be done to al
leyiste the loss and suffering.
