NEW DEPOT FOR NEWPORT NEWS.
An Uptown Telegraph once Badly
Needed-The Coming Court House.

NGedeu-IheC coming NOuft-houst.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispasch.l
NEWPORT News, Va, February 7.-Among
the contemplated Improvements of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway here. and
one likely TO be commenced if not con-
summated ore the shrln chirp OF the
autumn katydld be heard, is tne new
depot. Its site will be point lmmedi-
ately on the track on the extension of
Twenty-third street. which of course will
be excayated west of West avenue. An
elegant covered pier laid with track will
extend far enough into the river to meet
the boat in deep water, thus completing q
close connection with the cars and furnish
ing an essential condition of first-class
transfer station.
NO DOUBT OF IT.
Passenger trains will leave the city along
. line near to and parallel with Twenty
third street. Travellers sill appreciate
this as indeed an Improvement on our
present unsightly depot, whose capacity
and appointments are utterly INADEQUATE
and inapposite TO the demands. Newport
News Is in great measure the creature Of
the great Chesapeake and Ohio, and 1t nat
urally feels towards us something of q
bride Of paternity.
WHAT eAY YoU, SUPERINTENDENT TRKK?
A thing we badly need is an uptown tele-
graph Office. Can't the Western Union DO
wooed 10 give us Que? The Dispatch cor
