Extension OI Gas 10 the Seventh
and Eighth Wards.

Both branches Of Council last nigh
agreed upon an extension OF the ga
mains to the Seventh and Eighth Ward
of the city, localities with the exception
of La Belle heretofore dependent upon
lamps for their supply Of light.
The expense OF extending the mains Il
these two wards is estimated at SlCy0OC
for the Seventh and S2l ,O0Ofor the Eighth
The Seventh Ward estimate does not
however, include cost Of right oIwny over
the suspension bridge, which is, as yet
unknown.
The extension to the Eighth Ward is
made in pursuance Of an agreement en-
tered into with that part Of the city be.
lore It was Incorporated, the agreement
being that this should bc done within
one year after the city should obtain pos
session Of the gas works,
The money for these extensions will be
raised by an issue of bonds for that spc-
cial purpose by the Trustees Of the Gas
Works. 1t will not be city loan, as
that sort Of loan can not be made cx-
ccpt it is first authorized by II thrCc'hfths
vote OF the people. For the payment Of
the principal and interest Of this loan
the resources Of the Gas Works will be
pledged.
Itisnot expected that the expense for
the right Of way across the Suspension
bridge to the Seventh Ward will amount
to much, inasmuch as the conveyance Of
gas to that part OF the city will las in the
supply OF water, have u tendency to
stimulate building and settlement upon
the Island, and thus conducc to the in.

West virginia Division Of the
ISeOOIC'S Freight Railway.

VIZ NlN l'N II AN''bS "t '''''''
blank Right Of Way forms for Use along
the line OF this proposed railway across
the Panhandle. It is expected that the
farmersof Brooke county Through which
the road will pass II builtO will generally
ccdc the right OF way to the proposed
road. The West Virginia division Of the
road is simply link in proposed line
between the East and West, and a very
short link at that. The whole line Is to
extend from the Atlantic scabOari to the
Mississippi river, say from New York to
St. Louis. II hasbCcn under contemplation
for long time and is now initiated in the
interests OF cheap transportation. Asits
name implies, It is to be devoted mainly
to the movement Of freight. 1t will seek
to solve the problem Of enabling our great
grain producing States in the West and
Northwest to compete with Russia and
other grain producing countries OF Europe
in the supply Of the English markets
with wheat, and also with corn and ba.
con. II Is contcndcd that double track
railway, devoted exclusively to freight,
can work for from six to eight mills per
ton per mile on all irEght-. The usual
rates on the trunk lines now existing is
for the year round about ten and "a half
mills per mile on grain, and about cent
and a half per ton per mile on ordinary
coarse and bulky freight.
In case the present projected line should
deyelOpe into doublc.track freight rail.
way, the programme would be, we pre-
sumo, somewhat similar to that advocated
some time ago on behalf Of the proposed
government line between the East and
West. On that road it was proposed to
run great number Of trains per day
running them close together and at n low
rate Of spced-so that every mile Of
the road would be, as far ns possible,
utilized. When Governor Picrpont was
in office in Virginia. he advocated
some such scheme aE this with
reference to route across that State.
EIis views were substantially those which
have since been set forth on behalf Of the
proposed government line. Such ntiI-
ization Of space on railroads is not by
any means new idea. Trains have
been run after this fashion on English
roads for some time past, aud have fol
lowed each other at intervals Of only
three minutes. Whether such schedule
could be carried out on long line Of
road, such ns this proposed one from the
Atlantic to the Mississippi river i' very
questionable indeed Still, there is no
doubt that line Of railway exclusively
devoted to freight and which could on
that account run at Il low and economical
rate Of speed, would present facilities for
working out the problem Of cheap trans.
portation that no road now in existence
islikely to AFFORD. Especially would this
be the case IL the narrow.gauge sys.
TEN should be adopted, on account Of
the immense saving in the hauling Of dead
weight As showing what this saving
would he, we may refer to the annual re-
