burgh," said gentleman who is officially
connected with one OF the railroad offices
in this city. at was at first intended to
complete the road TO this city, without re.
ference to ralniications; but a careful
analysis Of its Possibilities has resulted
in a determination 10 simultaneously
construct both roads. The South
Pennsylvania Railroad will come as far as
Fayette county before any divergence is
made. From tho neighborhood OF Con.
nellsville n road will be built TO the Mon.
ongahela River at Belle Vernon. At this
point large iron bridge will cross into
Washington county. Thence the route OF
the road will he through the Pike Run dis
trict to the waters OF Ten-mile Creek,
whence it will proceed either TO Claysville
and West Alexander, Penn, to the waters
OF the Little kauawha Creek, and thence
parallel the Hemptield to Wheeling. This
route has already been surveyed. An
other route is a few miles south Of this one,
and goes into Wheeling by way Of the
Middle Wheeling Creek. Both routes are
admirable, and the road by either one can
be cheaply constructed. The only diiIicul.
ty that can be encountered is at Wheeling.
The city lies in crescentshaped alcove,
that is abruptly terminated by a series OF
bills. The northern and southern outlets
are occupied already by the Baltimare &
Ohio and the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, 4 ST.
Louis roads, and these two corporations
have pooled issues in order to exclude the
South Pennsylvania from the city. Both
OF them, however, are after favors from the
city, and certain neutrality-suspicious. are in
defatigable in their efforts to induce Coun-
ellis to make the granting Of these favors
contingent upon certain concessions on the
part oil both companies that will enable the
South Pennsylvania road to get in. There
is to be large bridge built over the Ohio
river at Wheeling by the Wheeling & Lake
Erie road, and by this means the South
Pennsylvania will reach the lake shore in
Northern Ohio. Another means Of reach.
ing Wheeling which Is in contemplation is
from Phillipsburg, opposite Beaver, on the
south side Of the Ohio river to Wheeling
Junction, opposite Steubenville, and
thence by an accommodation with the
Pittsburgh, Wheeling & Kentucky, or by
an independent line to Wheeling.

Claimants for Valuable Real Estate nj
the CApItnI Of the Nation.


WASHINGTON, February 2O.-LawyeH are
here from Pittsburgh searching for deeds
which they claim involve the title to hun
dreds Of millions Of property in Washington
City. The tract questioned consists Of four
hundred and fifty acres in the heart Of the
Capital, including probably the Ebbilt
House, the Treasury, the Corcoran Gallery,
the White House, and other ground, every
inch Of (which Is very valuable. This land It
is claimed was decided to one Blackmore by
the English crown, away back in the last
century, and long before the Declaration Of
Independence. In l776 09.year lease was
issued to other parties, and they took pos
session OF the land. At this time the land
was comparatively valueless, and when in
1890 the United States Congress, in New
York, decided to make the ten square miles
Of the District OF Columbia their national
capital, its title was then questioned when
the then holders transferred II to the
United States. But In 1903, when the
United States Commissioners Bealle, For
rest, and White, appointed to perfect the
ttlto " pEupeIty III tue DlcllCt, uhue
their report, they declared certain titles
imperfect, and among these were the lands
in question The lands were then settled
upon, but as no questions were asked,
they were sold aud resold; and wears
ago every one had forgotten the shadow
resting on their title. But in 1875
the 99year lease TO these lands expired.
The heirs Of Blackamore living in Pitts.
burYh discovered references to the prop.
erty. They claim the lessees in 1900 could
moi grant a title farther than to 1876. The
United States, obtaining an imperfect
title, could not grant a perfect one,
and that now the property must legally re.
vert to these Pittsburgh people.

Inspector, referring to the one item Of coke
furnaces. Beginning in 1878 with one
such furnace producing fifteen tons a day,
increasing the number to five with adaily
production Of 200 tons, in 1880, the State
now has seven, producing 500 tons q day,
consuming 1900 tons Of ore, 10000 bushels
Of coal, employing directly 5000 persons.
In 1872 there were Eve coal mines employ
ing lS4 persons the number has increased
,Oeight, employing 500 persons, and one
oithem produces more coal than the total
output OF the five mines in 1872. The
development Of these industries in Tennes-
see seems to be just beginning.
