Pittsburg Capitalists Tardy About Fitting
Up an Island Summer Resort.
STEUBENvILLE, Oct 10.-[Special Re
ports sent from here yesterday in relation
to the alleged project to convert Browns
Island, in the Ohio river, about five miles
above this city, into summer resort, state
as fact what as yet is only possibility.
One of the parties who will have an interest
in the enterprise, in case it is undertaken,
states that the chief essential is the money
that must be furnished by Plttsburg parties,
who continue to be little shy OF the in
vestment.
There is q strong probability, however,
that the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad
Company may encourage the undertaking
in substantial shape, and even if the present
project falls through another party with
ample means stands ready to transform the
island into great park and summer gar
den, with a race track and other accessories,
to make it an attractive summer resort,
relying largely on Pittsburg people to fur
nish the patronage. The Panhandle and
the Cleveland and Pittsburg both pass the
island, and the excursion racket by rail
and river would probably prove very pop
ular.
