II will be remembered that the rosd
known - the Ohio Valley Railroad, pro-
posed to run from this city along the shoess
Of the placid Ohio TO Point Pleasant be-
long been the dream and fond anticipatioa
Of General Andrew Jackson Warner.

in this city, at which time

was made President AIsd since that time it
has been known as the Blaine road. From
the time Of It's organization nothing has
been heard OF It. For some cause unknown
II has died. and In the sbsenoe OF . post
mortem the cause OF the death has never
been otficially reported. 10 was supposed,
when the organization wss perfected, that
steps would be taken at onco toward the
constructions OF the road, and in short
time CjpcinnSti would hsPe another great

As shove stated, the road ran from Point.
Pleasant on the south, b Wheelin9 on the

Point Pleasant by the proposed route viil
be one hundred and seventy miles, which
