Railroad to be Built.

Mr.. James Gallery, President of
the P. & w. r Z is quoted by re-
porter of the Pittsburg Times, as
saying that one Of the two roads that
are to complete the proposed great
transcontinental system is now being
surveyed, and that a company to
build the other has been organized,
and that he believed the two links
would be built. After describing the
Western link through Ohio he said:
"The proposed line to make the
connection has been on paper for two
years, but now the company, whose
headquarters is in New York City,
is regularly incorporated and o(ficered
and the road will eventually be built
1t is the American Midland, to run
from point near Mauch Chunk, Pa,
on the Lehigh river, to Parker, Pa
on the Allegheny river a distance of
about 250 miles, where it will COM
plete the new route by connection
with the Pittsburg & Western. At
its Eastern terminus It will make con
nection with the Jersey Central, Del
aware and Lackawanna and Lehigh
Valley Railroads, which have no d.
rect Western outlet. Each of these
lines is interested in the building of
the new line, as each would profit
greatly by it. Their anthracite pro.
duet would be given a great outlet to
the West.''
