The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1891-11-28


In the official report Of the Presi-
dent Of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Co... made short time
ago, he made the statement to his
Board of Directors that the road be
tween Uniontown and Morgantown
would be completed in the Spring or
early Summer.
On Saturday last that official, in
company with number of Others
was in Wheeling, and the Registe,
reports them as saying that they
would finish this road and have q
connection between Pittsburgh and
the Camden System next season.
The matter ofcompleting the F.
Nj. and Z. to Uniontovn and the
time of Completing it. are, therefore
matters upon which the b. d o. has
officially acted, and officially deter
mined, and officially announced its
purposes.
We may say that it is about as
certain as any railroad enterprise
can be made, that within the coming
year 1892, trains will be running
through on the F. M. q P. carrying
freight and passengers from Pitts
burg on a connected line to the
southernmost part of West Virginia
and, indeed on through the Noun.
tains to the GulfStates.
We desire to suggest to those who
have not yet walked up to the boom
ness of our boom that when this
event takes place the band will be-
gin to play.
Heretofore we have been witness
ing the heavy parts in the drama
the stock company only have APP
peared, and they have been little
awkward and little tedious; but
when the curtain rises on the next
act, there will be a mighty
stirring up Of the elements; the pit
and the gallery will vie with each
other in enthusiasm, and when the
first toot of the first approaching
train from Pittsburgh is heard in
the dim distance, the orchestra cir
Gle will be found on its feet, and
amid the swell of the instruments,
and the waving of hats, and the
louder swell of the vocal organs, the
Boom of old Morgantown will be
ushered in as star actor of the first
magnitude.
You that are not in it will be back
numbers indeed The man who
does not look ahead twelve months
from this date will get badly left
The man who is not now laying his
plans and winking the other eye, in
view of what is sure to happen next
year is a very poor prophet. So the
man of capital or business tact who
cant find opportunities to feather his
nest by the revolution of next year
annht IN IA Ira Il, bt,
We will consent to be called false
prophet if the completion of the F.
NJ. q p. does not bring to this town
more rapid growth and a larger
degree of prosperity than has ever
been predicted or dreamed of by the
most sanguine Spectator. 1t will
turn this old town up side down and
inside out within the next five years.
Our location and natural resources
are bound to bring this about. We
will become virtually a Pennsylvania
town, trading with, and virtually
drawing its business from our Penn
sylvania neighbors, and gradually
becoming assimilated with its bust
ness and population.
1t does not~require a prophet of
much honor or fore sight to antici-
pate some of the good fortunes that
will come to our town through this
road. We do not undertake to emu
merate at this time. We are glad to
believe, as single illustration, that
the Investment Company will find
itself in position to realize very
handsomely on it's investments along
the river. That campany deserves
to succeed and we congratulate it on
the good fortune in store for it.
In the mean time let those who
have not caught on to the boom
ness of our boom listen, and they
will hear the band begin to play.
Brutal Cruelty.
