completed the work OF revising the returns
OF the various railroad companies owning
tracks and property II this Slate subject to
taxation, with the exception OF two roads,
the p, O. & 81. L., in Brooke and Hancock
counties, and The West Virginia Central &
Pittsburgh road, Senator Dayis's company.
These .wo roads will be acted upon when
fuller information hiss been received con-
corning rbe length Of the latter, and the rail
road bridge OF The formerat steubenvllle.
In all cases acted upon, exceptipga local
road or two Of tritling importance and value.
the returns made by the companies In Ac-
cordsnce with the Acts Of 1879 have been in
creased by the Board, In sums varying from
over million dollars, In the case OF the b. q
D, Company's main line, to q little over one
hundred dollars, IN the case Of the Martini

Weston & Webater County Railroad company,
has no track aud no real estate, but Is the
proud possessor OF one engine, on which II
pays tax at a yalustion Of $l,CC0.
Tbs total increase In the roads 60 far hnalIy
assessed is nearly two and one.half million
dollars, OF which over one-half Is borne by

A nEAsosAnLE COMPLAINT.
Some Suggestions 10 the p, W. q Ky. h
Il, Bfauagement.


The steubsnvills Herald has some timely
suggestions to the Management Of the p, W.
& Ky. division. Had 1t included in Its advice
that Sunday train be run the article would
find hearty amen in Wheeling:
As the time Is approaching for the usual
fall change OF time tables on the railroads
we make an earnGst suggestion In behalf Of
hundreds Of citizens Of this place who have
occasion to travel on the p, W. Il Ky. road
each year, for reform In the manner OF gel
ting In and out OF this city. In other words,
that the annoying. changes anu
worse than annoying delays at Wheel
Ing junction be avoided. Under
the present arrangement all persons
for any point over the liver must change cars
with Lht absolute cAr'aiHty Of wait In
almost every cai t,yGrying from a few minutes
10 an hour or two. ~, reach .he train going
down the river ut 10 A. NJ, IL 's necessary
after having purchased ticket 10 walk 70
the foot Of Market street, take the ferry boat,
aud then wait on An Unprotected platform
for train that is good deal more likeiy
10 be an hour or 50 late than Un
time. This Is the only train until $50
P. NJ, when passengers for down tho river
take No. 10 Mt this station going east, and
arriving on the other side must walt for No.
8 coming west, not due until BAG, aud If is
behind time, then rs much longer. II is the
same coming this way. The T., W. & Ky.
trains stop al the junction, and the
unfortunates for Steubeuville must wait
10 dirty little station full of vile
odors frequently for an indefinite period in
sight OF their own homes which they are uu'
able TO reach. Those who are posted usually
get of at Middle Ferry, prefeFring to pay an
additional fare to waiting at the junction,
Notwithstanding they have already paid the
railroad company for transporting them TO
It's regular station. When parties are only
going short distance, the matter IS
still more aggraYating, and we have
party spoiled for the afternoon by
tbe wal. 81 the junction. The remedy for al
this is so simple that IL car be adopted with
out additional cost or IrUusle 10 tue COM
pany worth mentioning 1t is simply I"
start all P, W. & Ky. traiNs directly from
steubeuyille station, and brlnE them over
here, as was done when the road vas
first opened arriving here Just pre-
yious to the arrival st connecting
trains, and leaving in all casa. afte the de-
parture OF the second train when connection
Is made with two or more. By this means
there never would be any necessity
for wait at the junction, and If the
train Is an hour late IL can be utilized In
the city. Thus business men will not
have valuable time wasted and Others be
aggravated by waiting in the woods. The
Panhandle officials are usually alive 10 what
ever concerns the comfort and convenience
OF their patrons. and we feel satisfied thai
when they fully appreciate the yexadons to
which passengers have been subject BY the
delays at Wheeling Junction, they will, with
their usual promptness, remedy the evil.
