The Company has let. the contract for
building the MOrgantoWn extension Of
the road from Moore's works, just south
of Unioutown, to Smithfeld, Pa, and
work has been commenced. Bennett &
Talbot are the principal contractors,
and this week or next they will have
500 men at work. The contract must
be completed in three months. Two
other firms have contracts on the eX-
tension. The line under construction
is about % miles long. 1t is stated that
officers OF the railroad are looking into
the feasibility OF a South Jersey extern
sion of the road TO Cape May, by the
way OF Salem. Bridgeton and Mllville,
and there is said to be prospect of an
early cOnsummation OF the project. The
plan is to build line from PennSgrove,
which is directly opposite Wilmington,
and with which connection will be made
by ferryboats.
Passenger officials of the Baltimore
and ONO railroad in Baltimore are in
receipt of official announcement that on
December 1sJ the Grand Central Station
in Chicago will be occupied as the pas
seDger terminus of that Company. The

Tho PENNSYLVANIA system.

In few days this Company Will nave
one thousand men at work on the south-
west extension, between Smlthheld ana
Fairchance, in Greene county, Pa. Inc
Pennsylvania Company Will ouila It's
road via the Georges creek
and New Geneva route and the
Baltimore and Ohio via the
Grassy Run route. The Baltimore and
Ohio will have about twenty two miles
TO build and the Pennsylvania about
nineteen miles to build in this race Tor
coal and coke territory. 1t is announc-
ed positively that the construction
work on the new Trenton branch Will
be completed by January 1st, and that
passenger trains will commence run
ming on the road about that time from
Glen Loeb to Morrsville, Pa. The
work at Glen Loeb, the western ter
minus on the main line, is about ready
to be turned over TO the construc-
ton department. Most OF the
stations have been located
and a few small buildings
erected, but the permanent station
buildings are yet to be built. Thus FAR
there is only one track between Glen
Loeb and MorriSville, with switches
about two miles apart. 1t is the inten-
tion to double track the road its entire
length. 1t is said that So daily freight
trains will be put on the cutoff as soon
as it is opened for travel its entire
length. This will greatly relieve the
traffic on tracks running through
Philadelphia and facilitate the dispatch
of through freight between New York
and the West.

TIE LATE THOMAS HARRIS.
The Funeral OF a Gallant Soldier to Take
Place to-day.

Place to-day
The funeral Of the late Thomas Har-
ris, First Lieutenant of Battery d, or
Carlin's Battery, as it is better known,
will take plsce from his late residence
near Clinton to-day. Carriages will
leave the house at noon, and the inter
ment will be at Greenwood. The pail
bearers will be Albert Redman, John
Reid, Phil. S. Fletcher, Henry Seamon,
Benjamin Exley and Thomas Wilson.
The deceased was an old resident Of
this city, and q mailer at the LaBelle
mill. He enlisted as private when the
battery was organized, in 1862, and took
part in the battles Of Winchester, June
IA. Is and l6, 1868; New Market Cross
Roads, May Is, 1864; Piedmont, June 5,
1864; Lynchburg, June IS and 10, 1864,
and many other skirmishes and minor
engagements. His record as a soldier
was an admirable one throughout, and
he was greatly beloved by both officers
and men, as was attested by his unani-
nous election to the Lieutenancy.
The members OF the battery are be-
coming few. At the late reunion in
Martins Ferry, October 9th, last, only
thrty-six answered roll call, and but
about forty-eight are now living. Five
have died during the present year
alone.

This is all premature, to say !ne

into Wheeling December ., or any
other nearby date, so far as it is now
known. The negotiations with the

Interesting Meetings at the English

Lutheran Church.
The meetings at the English Lutheran
church yesterday morning and last
evening were devoted to services, and
were of unusual interest.
A large congregation assembled in
the church at the morning services,
and last night the ediice was crowded.
The pastor, Rev. DOrnblsser, prefaced
each hymn with an explanatory talk.
His brief addresses were very effective,
especially his remarks on the Second
Coming of Christ, the Day OF Judgment.
The choir, under the direction Of the
organsst, Miss Myers, sang several
hymns in very pleasing manner. On
the whole, the services were very i'm
pressive.

Several months ago the contractors
for the grading Of the Ohio extension
were restricted in the work. They were
directed to keep the monthly estimates
down to certain figure. Afterward
these restrictions were removed at
either end OF the line, but were contln-
ued over the central part. Within the
last few weeks these restrictions have
been raised and the work Will be pushed
with full force along the whole line.
