For the benefit of several parties who are in
tcfested Sin railway projects West the follow
ing item is published: "A Boston financier. who
arrived home from Europe last week, says that
he found good deal of depression existing in
the financial center of London, and business ex-
tremey dull He says that all eyes are turned
towards this country and, once convinced that
the American railroad wars really over and
peace fully established, English capital will flow
towards the United States in more generous
streams than ever before
Superintendent Bender, of the l., D. G. S. road
through his trip East, has learned that some
iast running is done on Eastern we'll as on the
l., d. & S. road. He was hauled over the West
Shore road seventy three miles in as many min
mites, and he rode quite distance the New
York 81 New Haven road at an average speed of
a mile minute He thinks the West Shore
passenger engines the finest patterns of locomo-
tives run in this country. They weigh forty-five
tons, have 18x24 inch cylinders, 81 feet drivers,
AZ inch paper wheels under the tank, 80 inch on
the forward truck of the locomotive, and they
are very substantially built in every respect
The Bee-line property, says the Cleveland
Leader after long period of neglect, seems to
be meeting with greater appreciation from the
public than 1t has had for a long time, and its
outlook was never more favorable. LIS sanguine
friends on Wall street now claim for it earnings
on its stock at the rate of per cent, and there
seems to be some authority for the statement
For months past the Journal has been giving
good reasons why the future of the Bee-Iine was
bright-that with the completion of the improve
1nents on the |. & ST. L. division a new era of
prosperity awaited the Bee-line proper and the
volume of business over the road the last ninety
days demonstrates the truthfuness of such pre-
dictions.
