THE RIGHT OF WAY.


How the p. W. & X. and Ii. & o. r. Il.
Controversy isprOgresSlnE.
An order was settled yesterday, and will
probably be entered to day, which is Of
interest TO a good many of our citizens
who have watched the somewhat tedious
controversy between the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Pittsburgh, Wheeling and
Kentucky railroads, over the right Of way
which the latter is endeavoring to secure
for its proposed extension from this city 10
Benwood.
In order that its effect and bearing may
be understood, some review from our
files, Of the various steps in the various
suits instituted by both parties may be
necessary, and this, to agood many Of our
readers, will not be unwelcome, for The
issues have become so numerous and in
VOlyed, that few persons besides those
directly interested, have kept track OF all Of
them. tits just four months since Presi-
dent Hubbard, OF the p, W. & Ky. road,
made application to Vice President Key
ser, of the B. & o. Company, for the right
Of way sufficient for the proposed extern
sion Of the p, W. & Ky. over the terri
tory claimed by the B. & Q. Company, and
received the reply that the p, w. & Ky.
Company could have all the right OF way
the law allowed. That time has been
pretty fully occupied in endeavoring 10
ascertain what the law would allow. The
day following this interview, which was
held on the 18th Of August last, the B. &
o, Company began the construction OF
side tracks on the ground claimed by the
city, and over which the city authorities
had granted a right Of way to the p, W. &
KY, road, by an ordinance passed on the
29th day OF July, 1870. Two days alter
ward the B. & o. Company began the
famous trestle work just south Of the
mouth Of Wheeling creek, and on
the ed OF the same month
began the laying OF spur-tracks over
ground claimed to belong, partly'to the B.

ing, north Of the creek and extending to
the river bank, all thesestructurC crossing
the line Of tho proposed extension and
constituting an obstruction to its further
progress. i may be remarked, in paren-
thesis, that by former agreement be-
tween the D, &, o. Company and the city
ofWheeling, the river front Of this last
mentioned territory, north Of the creek,
from the top OF the bank to the waters
edge, was to belong to the city when the

ments there, and the company was to con.
vey the intermediate space to the city
when these improvements were finished, |
but 1t would seem that the improvements
were never contaminated, the conveyance
at least, never having been rendered.
On the night OF the 22d Of August the
r., ". & Ky, Company began to lay track
north Of the creek, and tore up the spur
tracks laid by tho B. & o. employees, and

THIRD EDITION.
AsOlemu Obligation.

On Wednesday afternoon Walter
Finn, George Kopp, Grfilh smith and
James Monahan, who were acquitted OF
the charge of having KILLED Perry
DEM V, went befor Esquire Bertolette
and loek an oath that ''thsy would alb
stain from touching any intoxicating
liquors whatever during the remainder
of their lives under any pretence I'M
less ordered to do so by practising ply
sicians of medicine" The answer was
made fervently and all seemed deeply
impressed.
With the exception of a couple o
companions they came by themselves
and they appeared very grateful fol
having been released from the severe
charge that had been made agains
them. They left the 'Squirr's office
as tney said, to ''go out into the world
to lead better lives" We trust lht
most sanguine hopes of their friends,
IN this respect, may be more than real
lied. There is plenty Of room for law
abiding men in our city, but the rowdy
aud in-brate should be forced to give
i. wide berth.

what Fernando wood says.

When the committee Of Ways and
Means in Congress, met last week,
some Republicans objected to an ad-
jeurnment of Congress before the ap-
preparation bills were passed, aad tried
to assure Mr.. Wood, the, e,,chairman, that
the situation was not as bad as repre-
sented.
In reply to this Mr.. Wood said that
no proposition which could be made
that did not involve the repeal or the
modification of the election laws could
possibly be entertained by the Demo
Gratis. He said this matter was one OF
vital importance to the Democratic
party. 1t could never hope to carry
New York, he said, as long as the cleo
tion laws should remain unrepealed.
and it was out of the question to expect
that the Democrats in Congress would
assent to any other plan than the one
they had already initiated.
A Republican member of the commit
tee expressed surprise at such an ex-
preston of opinion from Mr.. Wood and
reminded him that these election laws
had been on the statute books for seven
or eight years, and that, notwithstand
ing this fact, the Democrats had in 1876
carried the State of New York by a
considerable majority of the votes, and
there is no reason why a majority of
the votes, if actually cast for the Demo
cracy, should not carry it again.
Mr.. Wood saw that he had been in
discreet, and said in reply that Mr..
Davenport had not then brought the
machinery for carrying elections to such
a state of perfection as he has since
done, within the last two years. He
said that Davenport had perfected this
machinery, and the consequence was
as he had stated it.

The LiIiputian Opera Company

The performance given by the Lilipu-
tan Opera Company yesterday after
noon and evening were unexceptionally
good. The attendance on both occa-
sions was very discouraging, especially
so where so much trouble was taken to
please. The company, besides being a
novelty, is one of decided merit, and
the cause of its not being more literally
patronized, in view of this, is one OF
the unaccountable things, theatrically
speaking, for which we have yet to
find solution. Miss Jennie Quigley
is certainly a sweet singer, while for
oddity We have little Brightspot, lit
tie toddli.g wonder, nine years of age
and only twenty inches high. The
company is composed of five performers,
while the operctta itself simple in its
composition, fairly sparkles with
operate selections. The troupe left
this city for Reading, where it is to be
hoped it will be properly appreciated.
