STEUBENVILLE.

Srr,-nESyILLE. November S.-The
Wheeling and Lake Erie is in Steubenville,
and at last we have a competing line OF
railroad. The road crossed South street
on last Thursday, and the cars are now
running to Market street. The depot will
be at the corner of Market street and
alley A, and the old wool house and other
buildings have been torn down to make
room for it, A large crowd was present
all day Thursday watching the manner in
which the track is laid, and contrasting it
with the slow and laborious ways in vogue
at the time the Steubenville and Indiana
NOW the Panhandle) was built. Time
cards have been issued for passenger
trains through from Steubenville to Toledo
on the 18th.
Oil matters remain about the same rs
they were about the first OF the week.
There is no doubt but that the Ault-Linduf1
well in Island Creek township is good
one, and that the field is worthy of develop
ment, but as yet the well has not been de-
veloped sufficiently TO tell exactly what is
its capacity. The holders of the stock are
still feeling good over the strike.
If anybody is of the opinion that Stu
bensville is not improving all that is neces-
sary to change that opinion is to take Il
walk some fine day and ooServe the many
This is especially the case in the Fifth
ward This ward has doubled its num-
Der of houses in the hast five years, and its
population is correspondingly greater. a
proof of this is shown in the voting popula-
ton. a few years ago this ward only cast
two hundred votes, while at the election OF
last Tuesday the registration books showed
the names of four hundred and seventy-six,
and then all the voters were not registered.
OF course the Porter census only gives
Stubenville population OF 1850, an in
crease of ,25S in ten years, but no one who
lives here thinks for an instant that this is
the full amount of our population. 1t is at
the least calcuation 900 greater than this
Bnt as the powers that be said 1900 $3.50
is the number it will have TO stand at that.
Work on the pike between here and
Richmond is progressing finely. and in a
few months people can get TO Stubenville
at any time in the year without pulling
their horses to death through mud axle
deep, or taking Il cut on foot through the
fields
This is the time of year for tree planting,
and persons contemplating setting out
fruit or shade trees should take advantage
of the fine weather TO do it. Good weather
will not last always, and every advantage
should be taken of it while it is here.
The new Hamlin NJ. f.. Church that is
in contemplation will be handsome affair
and credit TO the city. 1t will be erected
on the site of the old chuch, corner Fourth
and North street. The front will be of

extend back on North street the full length
of the lot. Building will not be commenc-
ed until next spring, but committee is at
work getting plans and other prelimnaries
in shape.
