by Any Means,

The more discussion entered into on
tbe Valley deal ahrOuds II more deeply
i'm mystery. The article published
Wednesday OF tho Valley being Ia con
troll of Sidney Dillon and Others, ih con
sidered the most plausible OF all ap'
counts yet published, One thing IL
certain, the deal is a far'rea0hing one,
In talking OF deals tho officers OF the
Cleveland, Canton Il Southern report
that they have Just completed q oeal
with the Pitlsburg& Il Western, ana thht
they have number on hand that VIII
prove OF great benefit 70 this city,
The deal with the Pittsburgh &
Western In through the connection Nv
Kent mentioned In tho NEws'DEAO'
ORAT aa completed several days ago,
TheI Plain Dealer says The y, Il o.
when originally built, made a number
OF mistakes, and one OF tho worst was
that made at Kent, The citizens OF
Kent offered the U, n q, the right OF
way through the heart OF the city, u
bonus OF 5000, and q site for o depot
near the NypanO'a station, For some
unknown reason the builders OF the
road refused TO accept the site offered
unless II was giYed $4,000 This
amount the citizens we're unable 70
subscribe, and probably 10 spite the
city, the depot was erected on the edge
of town, and for some time the com
pany even refused TO stop passenger
trains there
For some time the o. a. O. has been
arranging with the l.. \ W, for a con
neCtiOn NJ Kent, and for the past
month has been building II, This con
neCtlOn II was necessary 10 make near,
ly three quarters OF q mile long, ana
the company was compelled 10 bridge
the CuyahOga, entailing large expense,
Had the tracks run In the manner re'
quested by the citizens, this expense
would have been but little, Tuesday
night the connection was completed,
and the Cleveland Il Canton now &C.
cepts Pittsburg business,
The Importance In this connection
lB In the fact that the distance by the
new route from here 10 Plttaburg Is
only 1866 miles, but livo miles longer
than by the Cleveland Il PlttabuIg, aud
seventeen miles shorter than by the
Valley which has q connection NJ pres
ent with tho Plttsburg n Western a
few miles below Akron. The Pitts
burg 4 Western has splendid terminal
facilities nj Allegheny and Plttaburg,
especially with the PlttSburg, CHARTERS
g. Youigogheny, handling more OF its
coal than any other road,
The Cleveland Il Canton expects 10
get the bulk OF this roads coal trade
which rs bound for the lake, and also
large amount of ore. In anticipation
OF this the company purchased about
1900 feet Of land on the river between
Cross and Mah0ning streets from Mrs
S. s. Stone, and will lt thisnp for docks,
In connection with the 1900 feet now
owned by the road. The company has
also ordered 600 freight cars principal
ly coal cars, from the Minerva car
works, and placed smaller order with
the same company yesterday, The 70
q, Il Y, II rs claimed, Is well satisfied
with the route described for an outlet
10 Cleveland and the lakes,
The Cleveland ~ Canton In also max
ing arrangements with the Baltimore
& Ohio for eastern business, and A
though these arrangements are not yet
completed there is no doubt but what
they will be. The company expects 10
have It's Is. u o. connection at lanes
vile completed May 10, and will open
II with q celebration OF some kind. The
Cosh0cton q Southern, the Cleveland
4 Canton's branch, running from Gosh
octon 10 GAINESVILLE, is being built as
rapidly as pOssbl D.pound steel rails
being laid. The light rails between
Canton and Coshoct0n are being taken
up and heavy rails laid In their place,
about mile and half day being put
down The engineer corps Of the road

GAINESVILLE, and from all indications the

city and GAINESVILLE, and runs one train
per day, making the run In seven hours
The Q. n q. will run two trains a day,
and cut the time down 10 hye hours,
-Four new coaches, acom6ination coach
