A pleasant feature Of the visit came
near its close. At half past five o'clock

knoll in an orchard which. is part Of the
property, and demolished an excellent

MANY IMPROVEMENTS
are now in progress at Glendale, and
the scene there when the visitors arriy-
ed was a busy one. Streets are being
graded by big four;herse grading
machine, and a number OF substantial
board walks have been put down. The
Baltimore & Ohio company Is building
an ornamental little station, which will
be one Of the handsomest and most
modern on its line anywhere. It is well
under way, and instyle of.architecture
resembles somewhat the Terminal sta
ton in this city, and will have all the
conyeniences any city station could
possess. The Ohio River road has part
Of the material on the ground for sta
ton which will also be q credit 10 the
railroad company and the town.
Between the two railroads stations is q
circular park, with trees and.walks, and
east Of the Baltimore & Ohio station is
another triangular park of good size.
These are SO dedicated TO the public
that they must forever remain public
parks. The railroads are constructing
crossings over their tracks at Al; the
street intersections. sqi7 Sfk
VERY METROPOLITAN
ways are soon to be assumed by the
infant town. A company has been
formed to furnish it with electric lights,
and the contracts have all been lot.
It is believed the line will, be COM
pleted inside of the next two months,
and that the lights will be burning fin
sixty days.
The famous Burnley gas well. which
furnished enough natural gas to supply
alarge town, was on the comps any 9 pro;
perty. 1t is the intention TO drill for
gas, and in all the deeds of lots the right
to drill is reservedto the company exclu-
siyely, SO as to protect the supply from
depletion by numerous wells. The SUD-
ject of water supply has also engaged
attention. The property has several
fine springs on it, and Mr.. Zane, adjoin-
| ing on the north, and on whose proper
ty the company holds an option, has
| the water from a spring piped TO his
house. Several wells have been sunk,
and supply,of good, crystal water is
obtained BY these, There has been
some talk OF boring artesian wells and
supplying water by wind mill. The
highest point on the tract is, on level
with the new Wheeling reservoir, so
that II desired very good force could
be obtained. all the tract except the
river slope was above the food OF .1s4.
The company has left either alley or
street openings from every street to the
river for convenience Of laying sewers:
There are two good river landings even
at low water. ,,..Tss
The company will have lotsale about
the end OF this month. No.
There are nine trains each Waywhich
stop at Glendale now, and the CONF
mutation fares are satisfactory. toFall the
residents. Houses will be built on all
the thirty odd lots sold.
