an excellent material to keep cattle warm

TIE COSHOCTON AND wHEELISG
RAILROAD.

There is genuine awakening in Ohio
on the proposed Mt. Vernon, COshOctOn
and Wheeling railroad. 1t may turn
out that this is the most promising road
Of any that is threatening Us from the
Ohio side. The people all along the
line are full of enthusiasm and what is
more to the point, they are subscribing
their money to the road. At Warsaw,
the other day, a meeting was held at
which So, 500 were subscribed.
The road is projected from Wheeling
10y way Of Cadiz and FreepOrt through
CoshOcton, Mt. Vernon, Marion, and on
to the northwestern part of the State in
Williams county. The Scio Hcraldsays
The new road has many favorable fea-
lures. Over 100 miles Of the route lays
through the center of the rich coal fields
Of Eastern Ohio and it also strikes the
Black Band ore district at Post Boy and
rear Port Washington. From the Scotch
CCmpanys mines, near the latter place,
il is reported that nearly 500 tons of ore
we're taken out and shipped during last
January, all of which had to be hauled a
mile and half in wagons. The railroad
would save considerable in cost Of getting
the ore to the furnaces, and therefore
would be the means of largely increasing
this industry

MONONGALIA's BREAK FOR THE
WHITE SETTLEMENT"

The item Of news that has been go
ing the rounds of the press for the past
few days, to the effect that they are
building a railroad in MOnongalia eouu-
~, has been largely discounted by the
public.
The incredulous reader is wont to set
it down as fine little squirt of sarcasm.
He is inclined to credit it TO the fertile
resources of the hard pressed reporter on
the ragged edge of dull market,
hungering for stray morsel of news,
cleaning yet gathering naught but chat,
until driven upon his original resources
he draws on his imagination for SEN
sation-and what could be more odd,
more startling, more millenial-like in
its sudden revelation than to locate a
real, live railroad enterprise on the uu-
friendly soil of old Monongalia?
But the hardihood of the reporter has
been over estimated in this instance.
No reporter would have ventured on so
improbable fabrication as that. None
would have penned an item of news
that had no semblanee Of reality about
it, and that was sure to be spotted by
every reader at first glance. He would
have travelled farther from home aud
cleaned from a more credible territory
and where the subject matter would
have passed for at least its face value.
The plain, ungarnished statement
that railroad IN being built in Monon-
gala county is, however, literally true.
The fact is that Monongalia has got her
"injun" up, and they are not only aetu-
ally constructing q railroad, but are fast
maturing the plans for two.
The one that Is now building is
known as the Iron Valley road, and is
projected from Morgantown to Iron
dale, a roint on the B. & o. road in
Preston county at what is better known
as Hardman's furnace.
1t is not a new project. 1t was agita-
ted and to some extent planned by
New Yorker who owned or represented

some owners, of certain interests in the
furnace property, and the idea WAS to
furnish transportation for the products
of that furnace to the head Of naviga-
ton on the Monengabela river at Nor
gantown.
The scheme has subsequently been
taken up by home company which
has secured subscriptions to the amount
Of about 500, 900 and are probably alse
backed by some Eastern capitalists and
with these resources have put force Of
laborers on the route who are now grad
ing the track. The company is COM
posed of Hons. w. G. MCGREw, j. M.
HAGANs, G. c. STURGISs, A. w. LoR-
ENTz, s. q. CHADWICK, and other en-
terpcising citizens Of that county, and
ifthey meet with no insupersble obsta-
cles may be counted on to push the en-
terprise to successful termination.
The road is located through section
Of country that is very rich In mineral
resources, and in fact, believed to be the
richest in the State. 1t will be profit
able road even if 1t should go no further
than the point now aimed at, but it
will not stop there. A subscription
was made at Grafton, short time ago,
to continue it on to that place, where
it will connect with the Grafton and
Greenbrier road now building, and
thus form the long wished for road from
the Pennsylvania line through the in
terror of the State, connecting with the
Chesapeake and Ohio at some point in
Greenbrier county. The whole State
will therefore look on with interest at
the manly struggle which Monongalia
is now making to take herself and sis
tor counties out of the woods.

THE Huntington AdUcrtisCr is quite
sure that if the Supreme Court is called
To decide the amendment middle it
will decide in favor of the October cleo
ton, for the reason, as it states, "If our
two judges elected in October decide that
the October day is not the lawful elec'
ton they decide that themselves are
not duly elected judges" But that
fact is not more conclusive than the
other it suggests, that for the self-same
reason they could not undertake to de-
eide ANYTHING.
