of the New Patrol Boxes.
The Council Committee on Police met
last evening, and recommended the pay
ment of bills to the amount of $66.I2. In
cluded in the estimate for the department,
recommended by the Finance Committee,
and approved by Council, was an item OF
$40 for telephone stations, the Committee
and Council being of the opinion that the
Island station mad abundantly proved the
usefulness of such adjuncts TO good police
service by giving the officers increased
means of communication with each
other and with the City Hall. Last even
Ing the committee took up the matter, and
after discussing the stations, came to the
conclusion it would be a good thing to erect
four new boxes, one on the upper end of
the Island, in the vicinity Of the new bridge
to Martins Ferry, one in the upper part Of
the First ward, one in East Wheeling, and
one somewhere in the vicinity OF Caldwell's
run Chief Dclbrugge was authorized to
secure the boxes, if they would all come
within the appropriation, and he was fur
thor instructed to write TO the Gamcwell
Electrical Company with n view to secur-
ing four Of the regulor patrol boxes made
for police use, but without the regular cleo
trical equipment telephones being used in
stead of the regular apparatus.

A GREAT SCHEME.

A Chicago dispatch Of the 10Th
nlt. says that Ex-Governor Gilpin
of Colorado, and a party of gentle.
men have gone to Alaska. A large
number of people 90 TO Alaska every
year, but very few 20 with an objec,
of such Importance as that which
takes the present party to those
northern shores. This object is to
view the country with reference to
no less a scheme than the eonstrue-
ton of a railroad which shall belt
the globe. The first division of the
mammoth railway system that shall
bind together the east and west is
already established in the transcon-
tinental lines. whose western termini
are in Oregon. Thence the topo-
graphy of the plateaus and valleys
that skirt the base Of the Rocky
Mountains presents no difficulties
TO the laying of a roadbed through
Alaska to Behring Strait. Inopen-
ing up Alaska such a road will be
a factor OF Importance impossible to
estimate. This great road, however,
has barely started when the most
northwesterly point of America is
reached. Behring Strait is only is
miles wide. Midway between the
American and Asiatic shores are
the Dromeda Islands. Forty miles
of bridge would connect the two
continents, and the water is shallow.
The Russian Government is nov
building railroads in western Siberia
for the purpose of giving the island
a connection with the sea at the
mouth of the Ameer river With
this line the proposed road will con-
meet. The route then would be to
south cord through Asia and South
srn Europe to the eastern coast Of
The Atlaptic.
