RAILRoADs.-The railroads have
had pretty hard time OF it for the
past week or two, and have suffered
many losses and much delay. The
fill at this place to the approach to
the Ohio River Railroad bridge
washed out Wednesday morning,
for about 200 feet. Men were put
at work and by Thursday evening
it was cribbed mp so that trains could
pass over it safely; washout also
occurred on this road at Ten Mile
trestle, and at Glen's Run, near
Ravenswood.
The X. & o. had very bad
washout near Leon, Thursday night,
for distance of about $50 feet.
The damage has been temporarily
repaired, and trains are now run
ming, but badly out of time.
Mr. Ed. Malone, Section Boss on
this end of the Ohio River Railroad
has been working day and night,
to keep up 'this end of the string.
He is watchful and careful man,
and no part of his road will be out
of repair long, no matter how great
the damage.

notification from Romans & Co., of
New York city, who purchased the
road short time ago when it was
sold at Columbus, o.. that the lease
of the road and its rolling stock to
the G. & o. management had been
perfected and signed, to go into ef-
feet on the completion of the plans
Eof the present ownership of the
road, which will probably be per
fected on April 7th.- This company's
plans embrace the extension of the
road up the Kanawha to Kanawha
ra'is ana from thence up the Gauley
river. No particulars of the lease
have as yet been received by the
officials here, further than the mott
ficatipn that it has been made and
duly signed, but it is safe to say
that on Monday next the X. & o.
