MARSHALL WANTS IT.
Marshall coun.y-Mr. Criswell said he
did not represent the people through
any convention, but he knew their sen.
timents and knew they were well advised
as to v hat is to be done and could say
they are decidedly in favor az the road
and therefore willing to contribute their
share OF the expenses OF the survey. AS
10 the right OF way, some would give free
", while Others declared they would not
for any money have the road run
through their farms. The people be-

ready, for they were clamorous for a
connecting railway, and others would
sell for fair compensation.
OHIO A UNIT.
Ohio County-Mr. Campbell respond.
Ell that no public meeting had been held
or iorrlal action taken, yet the matter
had been so generally discussed that 1t
is known there is united public senti
Inent in favor Of the road. II was prop
er 10 say, however, that We are involved
in delicate situation, owing to the SUIT
now in progress between the Is. q U.
and ?. w. 4 Nv. roads. He could say
that Ohio county could be relied upon
TO do her full share and pro rata. 1t
was expected to complete the z. W. q
XIV. TO Benwood and then build joint
depot, while the track between would
be used by both roads.
To WORK AToNCE.
The ended the reports, whereupon
Mr.. Camden made brief address, say
ing that TO obtain the right OF way was
70 build the road. He was anxious to
get to work at once, as now was the
time. ave ought" said he, ito get the
rad under contract by the LIST OF June,
and then most OF the work will be COM
pleted this summer. The land oilers
the greatest facilities for rapid work and
can he divided into sections, This meet
ing need not consider further than the
survey and right of way, for then the
capital will be Forthcoming" He also
stated that he had brought with him,
Col. Campbell, evil engineer, to come

APPoRrIoNING THE COST.
Mr.. Shattuck suggested that the APP
portionment OF the survey fund (Sl0,-
0OOl might as well be made and, upon
motion, Mr.. SchOfeld offered the follow
ing: Kanawha and Jackson, $500;
Wood, Peasants and Tyler, $500;
Ohio, Marshall and Wetzel, $1,000.
Mr.. Byrne objected to the omission! OF
Roane county. There were competing
routes from Parkersburg to Charleston,
and one of them lay through Rcane,
therefore he thought
ROANE SHOULD NOT BE SIGHTED,
but should be surveyed and included in
the apportIonment. At his suggestion
Mr.. Schofield amended his proposition
so as TO read: Kanawha, Jackson and
Roane, 50. 500; Wood, Tyler and Pleas
ants, 81, 500; Ohio, Marshall and Wetzel,
$1,000.
Mr.. Campbell thought the apportion-
ment should be made to the counties
singly, so that each should stand on its
own bottom, and on motion of Mr.. Shat
tuck the fOlloSing committee was al
pointed for that purpose:
Kanawha, b. W. Byrne; Jackson,
john ii. Riley; Wood, o. q. SchOheld;
Peasants, r. IL. Browse; Tyler, j. b.
Reed Wetzel, Sep. Hall; Marshall,
Hans. Criswell; Ohio, Capt. Mcclure.
THE COST BY COUNTIES.
The committee retired to deliberate,
and Mr.. Camden made few remarks to
the effect that the subscriptions should
largely come from the towns, the centres
Of trade, and not from the country por.
tons, which are less benefited. The
committee returned and reported the
following appOrtionment:
