AT the recent meeling OF the Chesapeake

and Ohio Railway Company the president
OF that company assured It's members that
: xue WeWern 6efneetIonS were Indispensable.
TO the wants1 Of trade, and would secaareito
the company Itself immense advantages.
Those eennecsions should have been at mn
earlier day the leading motive with the
COMPANY. Unfortunately 1t WIS somewhat
diverted from hat object; but aow that IT
is seen by the president that those connee-
tions are indispensable to the Interests CT
the company. 1t appears that be people or

termination that we may look. forward with
the expectation that from the West there
viii be such efficient co6peration with tire
company that we may reasonably expect the
early completion Of one or more OF the
connections with the western and north-
western system OF railways. This morning
