WHEELING AND LAKE ERIE X. X,

Agreeable to announcement, the Board
o. Directors of the above road met at
Alliance, O., last Wednesday for the pur-
pose of considering and deciding whether
or not the road should be built on the
Standard or narrow gauge. On Wednes-
day they started on u special train to
make trip on the gainesville and
Youngstown narrow gauge railroad, to
observe in a practical manner, the work
ings OF such road. They wee much
pleased, ana We are informed by one of
the Board, Judge X. III. COCHRAN, that
So far rs the working OF the trains and
the question of locomotion was concern
ed, 1t was impossible to determine any
difference between that and the standard
gauge, and the whole party was exceed.
ingly favorably impressed with the
narrow gauge road. The result
of this observation and discussion
was that the Board by large majority
decided in favor of the narrow guage,
only two voting in the negative. Meas
ures were also adopted to place power
in the hands of the Executive Committee
to receive bids and let contracts for the
construction of the entire line, and in
addition to this information, we learn
from special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Commercial of yesterday that Contractor
Mckee has submitted a proposition for
the entire construction from Wheeling
to Toledo, via Saadisky. backed by
English capitalists, agreeing to have the
road built in two years and half from
date OF contract. The Executive Com
mittee have the matter under considera-
ton.
All this looks very encouraging, and
inspires the friends of the road with new
hope. We trust the enterprise may soon
be settled upon as fixed fact, and that
this very important aid to the futurepr
perity of our city may be completed as
soon as may reasonably be expected.

OUR ENGLISH CORRESPoNDENC
An Interesting Letter from London.

An Interesting Letter from London.
LONDON, Jany. 10Th, 1876.
Editors of the Register:
London has changed much the last few
wears, Fine. new streets have been cut;
stately blocks of pubic and private
buildings erected; the greatest system of
sewers in the world costing nearly
twenty-one million of doiIars-complet
ed; large portion OF the Thames en-
banked with granite walls; and several
miles of underground railroad opened,
at a cost of about 100000 per mile.
THIS latter, / consider the most wonder
full work in London; the difficulties in
the way of construction being enormous.
Wherever the company could buy the
land above, they did SO, and there made
it an open cutting; all the rest being
tupnelled. The openings, however, are
but few MS may be imagined from the
fact that recent addition, with more
than one-half its length in tunnels is
called the daylight route. All the work
is of the heaviest description; the retain.
ing walls are arched, above, below, and
horizontally between the piers which are
battered; the tunnels were bored be-
meath streets, houses and water courses
without check or disturbance. The net
work of gas, sewer, water and telegraph
wire ripes could not be seriously inter-
fered with, and when that was all done,
special arrangements had to be devised
for getting rid of the smoke and steam OF
the engines, ventilating the tunnels, and
lighting the cars. 1t is one of the most
interesting of sights to the stranger to
watch the coming and going of the vast
multitude of people here, and one of the
best places to do this is on the platform
of this railroad. The trains leave from
every three TO ten minutes, according to
destination; and if passenger fingers,
he will have TO wait for the next train,
as they usually stay but fifteen seconds
at the way stations, and have never
known them to stop more than thirty
seconds, which was owing tothe immense
crowds during the holidays. Besides
the usual three classes, there are special
cars for smoking and parliamentary
compartment, SO named because the
law .obiges the company to
carry passengers at low rate
several times day for the
benefit of workmen. All the
cars are well lighted by gas; the seats
are opposite each other, with doors upon
the sides between the seats, so that a
train can discharge and take on passen-
gers in very short time. The arrange
ments for entering upon and leaving
the platforms are very good; accidents
to those travelling being quite rare, al
though many millions are conveyed |
every year. The trains are equipped |

with thew estinghouse aif brake, and
run very fast between stations, 90 With
similar arrangements the New Y orkers
may find their railroad, now building,
the underground portion Of which is to
be comhenced this year. will answer the
vexed question. of how 10 obtain RAPID
transit. ~ -
The street traffic is so enormous and
so heavy that the paving problem is an
important one; and as Wheeling is in
terested in that direction, the experience
here may be useful. There are four
kinds of paving in general
use; granite blocks, wooden
blocks, asphalte, and the or
binary MacAdam. OF these, despite
Washington's experience, (where it failed
entirely, the wood.payement appears TO
be the iavorite. The asphalte-of ape
culiar kind-also makes good roadway,
freedom from noise and dust being two
good qualities of these materials. The
asphalte, however, is objected to strongly
on account of its being slippery; the
property holders in Cheapeide having
just petitioned to have it taken up, and
substituting wood in Its place. The
owners of 10000 horses have also pro-
tested against its use. We. all know that
granite, besides being expensive, wears
IN holes and ruts, owing to there being
no bond between the blocks, and it has
been practically given up. Here they do
lot have the extreme heat and cold that
we have with us, which may account in
a great measure for the whole or partial
failure of the wooden and ssphalte pave
ments in the United States, but there is
little doubt of the work and material
here being better.
1 watched the putting in Of wooden
pavement, and fou"d great difference
in the way in which they prepared the
foundation for the wood. Without good
foundation, the best pavement. in the
world would fail. But the best road for
Wheeling, in my opinion, is the Mac
adam, when well made, with good mate
rails, rolled smooth with a heavy roller,
and then grouted and sanded. The
streets are kept very clean, many being
swept by machines, and thus far l have
not seen a rut or hoe in the streets,
although even on the Macadamized roads
the traffic is heavier than that in Wheel
ing.
Drinking has greatly increased of late
wears, and we cannot go anywhere with
out seeing evidence ofthis in all classes.
\ great many young children of the
poor have been suHocated in bed, seven
tenths of which has occurred upon Sat
urday nights, the time of the week at
which there is the most drunkenness.
The weather has been very cold OF
late, the mean temperature 1907 being
about ) below the average of the last
SO years. 1t has afforded Londoners
couple ofdays' skating in the most ex'
posed places, but the most fashionable
amusement now is TO skate at the fire
new Kinks recently erected, with the
American roller skate upon cement
floor. Yours, y. .. +.
