Itwas autOritatively stated, yeSter-
day, that the deal between the Ohio
River Railroad Company and the c. 2.
Huntington lines in kentucky, referred
to Yesterday by the REGISTER, had not
been cOncluSively conSummated, and
that the matter was still in a state OF
uncertainty.
Judge J. J. Jacobs yesterday filed
with the clerk OF the Board of Commits
SionerS his opinion as regards the $780,
600 of county bonds, claimed by the
Wheeling Bridge and Terminal Com
uany, and the Finance Committee Of
the Board has been called to meet next
Tuesday at o'clock p. NJ. to hear and
consider the opinion.
President Cochran, Of the Bridge and
Terminal Railway Company, said, last
evening, that there was no foundation,
so far as ne knew. for the rumor that
the Baltimore * Ohio Company would
run It's passenger trains into the Termi-
nal COmpany'S union depot.
In the Circuit Court, yesterday, the
pending Bridge and Terminal Company
condemnation cases were settled as fol-
lows: In the case of the Terminal
Company V. the Camden Consolidated
Oil Company, the report OF the Commits
SionerS was confirmed, and $4,000 paid
over to the Clerk; in the case of the
same Company V. NJ. Z. Handlan, $4,000
was paid, and in the cases against
James c. BOdley and Beltz, Flading Il
Co, 81, 800 was paid. In the case against
Emblem. for the condemnation OF a
piece of property on Nineteenth street,
no conclusion was reached when Court
adjourned.
The p, c. c. & st. L. r. Il. Co. have
inaugurated a system of undergrading
that will eventually be carried out
along the entire line Of the road. One
has already been completed, and that
NJ lakewood is, with q large force OF
hands, being pushed rapidly forward.
With this system completed the new
familiar standing headlines "killed at
the crossing" can be thrown in the
case.
General Passenger Agent Scull, Of the
Baltimore and Ohio, states that his
roads passenger business this year is
even larger than last year, which show
ed that million more passengers had
been carried than in 1889.
Panhandle officials are still looking
for Benjamin BuSky, the tough young
miner of Jewett, O., who late Thursday
night stole their engine, No. 81, which
stood upon the w. 4 l.. Z. tracks. Ii
appears that BUsky got into fight, and
alter emptying the chambers Of his re-
volver he ran TO the engine, pointed the
revolver at the fireman, pulled the
throttle valve aud started toward Rum
lev at lightning speed. When he had
gone mile he jumped of and diSap-
.peared in the woods.
The Terminal Railroad contractors
have resumed work on the north bank
of the creek, they being engaged in
driving piles at the foot Of Eoff street,
yesterday.
