The managers OF the Wheeling & Lake
Erie Railroad have issued orders that the
work be pushed on the construction Of The
road according to the original plans, so that
the track may be completed 10 Bowerston
within ninety days, and finished aud in ran
ming order through 10 the Ohio river at Mar
tins Ferry, ut as early q date In 1881 as prac'
ticable.
This piece Of news will be received with eat.
isiaction al this end OF the line. The general
public has viewed the progress, or want OIL
progress, in the construction OF the road with
more anxiety than hope. Many Of those In.
ter9stLd long ago came 10 the conclusion that
the road would not be built to Martins Fer
nv, while others have almost been forced to
the same same belief. The intelligence
which now comes Of the order to push the
work vigorously will be the more welcome
that 1t comes in the nature OF . surprise.
SIGNIFICANT EASTERN RAILROAD MOVES.
The New Jersey Central Railroad was re.
Gently taken out OF the. hands OF q receiver,
and the Reading road has also been released
from the receiyership under which, has re.
Gently been operated. The Reading road
subse auently leased the New Jersey Central,
giving q five per cent guarantee, the effect
Of which was at once seen In an advance oil
Ave per cent in New Jersey Central stock.
Il Is believed that the Reading management,
in which Mr.. Vanderbilt Is largely interest.
ed, Is laying It's plans TO become some.
thirg more than a mere coal road, and
many people imagine that they see In the new
activity OF the Wheeling 4 Lake Eide man
agement the hand Of Mr.. Vanderbilt. While
IL T. n.k aa.tatn chat thu IAnu taIEAh nj
through line via Wheeling has been settled
upon, there is good reason to state that the
managers are looking with greater favor than
ever before upon Wheeling as an important
point on q trunk line from the east to the
west. II can also be said that the public
here will shortly see more reliable signs Of
the intentions OF the companies than have yel
been visible.
ANOTHER PROJECT.
The property owners and residents on the
east side of Main street, north OF Tenth,
have been very much excited recently by the
operations OF the surveying corps Of the pro-
posed Pennsylvania, Virginia q Ohio rail
road, the projected line Of which strikes the
river at the mouth OF Cross creek, and rnns
parallel with the P, W. d KY. TO the city.
This corps has been placing stakes In the
grounds of the jewellers In that part Of the
city, causing them much uneasiness. This
feeling Is premature, as there Is little or
no probability that the road will ever be con-
structed on the line indicated by the stakes.
Competent engineers soy the obstacles In the
way are practically in~surmountable, to say
nothing Of the prohibitory cost OF the prop
erty which 1t would be necessary 70 condemn.
It Is believed an arrangement will be made
to enter the city over the track Of the p, W
& XIV, road,
