The NEW ROAD TO PHILADELPHIA-Maior
Candy. engineer in charge of the surveys being
made for the new road to Philadelphia to be con-
structed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company. has been interviewed by a reporter of
the Wilmington Gazette. who inquired of him
how the work was progressing. In reply to the
question the major stated that he and the CORPS
under him were now engaged at work about
one and one-half miles northwest of North
East, they having completed the surveying of
different routes between Wilmington and the
point mentioned above. The gentleman further
stated that below the Susquehanna river there
were two corps of engineers engaged at work
between that point and Baltimore, and that they
had nearly completed the work. In relation to
the bridge across the Susquehanna he said that
the engineers had arrived at the conclusion that
the most available and less expensive point for
crossing would be at WatsOn's Island. about
mile and a-half above the present bridge of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore rail-
road. The bridge would be about the same
length. but by crossing at that point draw
could be done away with, provided that an alti-
tude of 100 feet could be reached. AS to the
building Of the new road, the gentleman was
outspoken in his opinions that it would be
speedily constructed as soon as the surveys were
compieted.-Bdh. Gazette to-tlay

How 1T IS PROPOSED TO WATER THREE CITIES
telegram from Scranton. Pa. July 10 SAYS: A
New York capitalist who visited this region a
few days ago proposed the construction of vast
reservoir on the summit of Campbells Ledge at
the head of the Wyoming valley. 1t is about
200 feet above the Susquehanna river which
curves gracefully by its base into the historic
plains where the massacre is said to have taken
place 1OS years ago, and where the poet Camp
bell laid the scene of his poem, Gertrude of
Wyoming" The object of locating this reservoir
at such height is to give it sufficient elevation
to supply Scranton, Pittston. Wilkesbarre and
adjacent towns with pure water taken from the
river at point above the coal measures. Scran-
ton and Wiksbarre are about ten miles distant.
but PttstOn is close by The sulphur water
discharged from the mines into the rivers of the
mining region is liquid poison.
