Which 1t Will be Built
PrrTsBURG, February The Chronicle
Telegraph says: 1t has been learned from
official sources that all the troubles and
internal disSensions in the South Pennsyl-
vania railroad have been settled, and Sat-
urdsy afternoon last, the final papers were
signed by the parties in interest. The pro-
position upon which the road will be COM
pleted originated with Andrew Carnegie.
and has been agreed to by the Vanderbilts
and Messrs. Hostetter and Bageley, of this
city. These three parties represent Sl0,-
600, 900 Of the capital stock.
The stockholders controlling the other
halt million of the stock have agreed to
the plan, which consists of an immediate
cash subscription of twenty per cent. This
will realize three million dollars, making
ten millions spsnt on the road thus far.
Az soon as this is expended $40, 900, 900
thirty years six per cent. gold bonds will
BE- issued, the money derived by which
will complete the road and put il in good
running shape The Vanderbilts have
agreed to take 81, 0O0, 900 of the new boads
and Hostetter, Bageley and Carnegie
5000, 900 each. All suits will be with
drawn except those OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and the work OF COM
plcting the road will be pushed at once.

OHIO'S CANALS.
A Talk with Representative Geyor-Pro

A Talk with Representative Geyor-Pro-
visions of His Bill.
! Special telegram to the Register.
COLUMBUS, o., February Mr.. Geyer,
of Paulding and Defiance, has become a
conspicuous figure in the House, because
of his attitude towards the canals of the
State. Mr.. Geyer is one of the few men
who has studied this question to a pur-
pose.
"What action will this Legislature take,
Mr.. Geyer," said the REGISTER man,
concerning the canals?"
81 believe the time has come when im-
mediate action should be taken to dispose
OF the useless branches. That Is TO say,
those portions which would not pay ex-
pensss if put in repair. The entirely
worthless and unused branches should
have been disposed of long ago
desperate effort was made last
winter in this direction, but
the canal interest as whole was SO strong
in the Senate, that the measure was defeat
ed My bill is so modified, and so many
restrictions thrown around the canal fund
which may arise from the sales, that oppO-
sition will not be 90 strong now. would
not favor q meaeare which would impair
the integrity of the system which connects
the waters of Lake Erie with the Ohio.
Lasting Improvements should be made
upon those waterways which are to be re-
tanned. Immense amounts of money have
been wasted in attempting topreserve the
main lines and their collateral branches.
The appropriations were not sufficient,
scattered here and there, as they were,
to make substantial repairs and those
slight improvements at correspondingly
large outlay soon went into decay. Hence
the only solution OF the Public Works
question is to sell worthless, non n-paying
and unused bitches and with the proceeds
restore the mainways to their original so
lidity and usefulness.
This the people will demand. From
the time of the original grant of lands
by the Government for the construction Of
the Ohio canals the whole department has
been loosely conducted and managed in
the interest of individuals rather than that
Of the people Ohio's waterways, in spite
of mismanagement and corrupt legislation
by both parties, served a noble use, in the
development OF the State and was one of
the principal factors in pushing Ohio ahead
of older States in population and in the
rapid development OF her resources.

Views On the Development of West vir.

giDia-A Liberal Offer.
PIEDMoST, W. VA, Feb. s, 1888.
To the Editor Of the Register:
MY DEAR SIR:-In answer to your re-
quest, will say that notice with pleasure
the call or West Virginia business gath.
ering atWheeling on the Goth inst That
is long step in the right direction; good
for th State and people will surely come
out oft Already the move has had good
influence in and out of the State.
TheCensus of 1880 shows that the cen,
trail lecation, moderate climate and pure
atuoslhere of West Virginia make the
State ,ns of the most desirable and healthy
in tn Union. We are entirely exempt
from the blizzsrds, severe cold ard de-
structye storms of the North and West,
aud tie extreme heat of the South. The
Censs Of 1880 also says that no State in
the Union surpasses West Virginia in the
varieS 6t coal it contains, nor does any
contain an equal amount in proportion to
its area The same can be said of timber,
salt, ptSoleum oil, and few excel il in the
variety sad quality of its agricultural
lands, especially for grazing.
With the exception Of Pennsylvania, the
West Virginiacoals are much nearer tide
water and the great manufacturing inter
ests of the counry than those Of any other
State. In railrad development we are
now about wherePennsylvania was before
the war.
There are millions Of acres Of coal and
timber land ill the Itate that can be bought
at from two to five collars per acre, under
laid with an excelhnt quality OF coal,
which, at one cent pc ton i'll the ground,
would make land worth from fifty to one
hundred dollars per acre. Awaiting en-
ergy, brains and capital are farms, manu-
factures, mining, lumbeipg, the building
of railroads, and other industries, with
prospect Of good returns.
We ought not to sit still and wait for
something to turn up but should let the
world know where we are, what we are
and what we have. A few years ago the
merchants Of the large cities waited for
customers to come; now they send their
agent to the town and country stores with
samples, and they who do not keep up
with the timS are left.
The West Virginia Central Railroad
will make irate of one cent per mile to
all persons Who will attend the business
convention Wheeling February 29th,-
that is, for > miles the round trip will be
so cents, &c
l think here ought to be Bureau OF
Information and Statistics organized and
kept in opsation, to aid which we will
contribute 500, and more if necessary.
I hope tcsee West Virginia advance to
the front raik among the states, and TO this
end am re;dy to work. anu in full ac-
cord with he movement of your people
and hope tobe present on the 18th. With
great respeC, Lam,
Very truly yours,

Agreement.
New YORK, February THE forma-
tinu of the great rubber trust is now a
question of only few days. All manu-
facturers of rubber goods who wish to Join
the trust will pool their own stock and
turn it over to the central company in eX-
change for certified shares of the trust.
Those concerns which can manufacture
rubber goods at the lowest rates will be
continued in operation, while the Others
will shut down. Instead of and per
cent. profit, as at present, the firms inter
ested will then b, able to realize over Is

WASHINGTON, ID. e., February T.
The Ways and Means Committee to-day
struck a snag in the preparation of the
tariff bill, and it will cause very consid-
erablo delay before it can be adjusted.
At the meeting this morning the glass
schedule came up, and the duty had been
marked for reduction averaging about
20 per cent. Two Democratic members,
supposed 20 be Bynum, of Indiana, and
Wilson, OF West Virginia, refused to vote
for the proposition, claiming that the pres
ent tariff on glass, especially window glass,
was merely sufficient to cover the difference
between the wages of employees in this
country and Europe.
The discussion was an extremely warm
one, but the two members held out against
all arguments, and as they will get the
unanimous support Of the Republicans on
the committee they are in position to
hold their ground. A committee of win
dow glass manufacturers has been here
since Sunday, and they are very active in
demonstrating that manufactured glass is
not at present over protected.

SENSATIONAL FEATURES OF THE METRO
POLITAN FAILURE.
President VIM. Means ArreStsd--A Prominent Cltizen
and Ex-MayOr Of Cincinnati lmphcatsd-
Condition Of the Bank-Ths h-
aminerS at Work.

CINCINNATI, O., February 7.-Another
sensational feature has been added to the
Metropolitan Bank suspension. 1t Is the
arrest of Hon. VIM. Means, President OF the
hank, The warrant was issued this morn
ing bat was not served in the usual man
ner out of regard for Mr.. Means. District
Attorney Burnett notified him after twelve
o'clock of the issuance Of the writ, and ar
ranged for Mr.. Means to 90 voluntarily with
his bondsmeu to the commissioners office
at 2 o'clock.
With the Fidelity cases fresh in mind,
and with the proof they gave of the relent-
less power of the Government where there
has been plain transgression Of the law,
this arrest causes decided sensation. Mr..
Means has held a leading position among
business men Tor number Of years, has
been reputed quite wealthy, served term
as Mayor, when he was elected, not by
party vote, but by combination, whose
support WAS compliment TO their candl-
10 nav u vi SuSh
put iu peril of imprisonment causes pro-
found feeling.
There is fairly well authenticated
statement that the examination Of the
banks books and papers showed gross
violation of the banking law, in loans to
officers and others connected with the bank
very largely in excess of the limit allowed
by the law to any one. Ii is possible that
this wrong doing may have been carried to
such an extent as to imperil the banks
solvency 1t is not thought that other ar
rests will be made, but of this no one can
speak with certainty, because there has
not been time for a thorough examination
Of the banks affairs.
President Means appeared this afternoon
at the office of United States Commissioner
Dorger, with Henry Hanna, Maj. Fechhei-
mer, Patrick + Roach and G. NJ. Holloway
rs sureties, and gave bond for his appear
anCe i'll the sum OF $20,OO The charge
against him in the warrant is the misap-
plication of upwards Of 5000, 600 OF the
funds Of the bank.
