TIE ". & c. RAILROAD.

One of the Engineers Now Surveying the
Greene County Route Talks OF Its Pros
poets.
On Yesterday morning seven members
of the engineering corps which Is max
ing q survey through Greer e county, Pa,
for the Wheeling aud Connellsville rail-
road, passed through Washington, en-
route for Waynesburg, at which point
they will resume work and push on east
to Uniontown. Two more members OF
the party Joined them at Waynesburg.
A reporter met j. J. Taylor, the
engineer in charge, who is very
pleasant gentleman and who seems
TO be well posted on the affairs OF the
proposed road. The survey now being
made through Greene county Is only
what is called trial one, but ii is being
made in most thorough and careful
manner. Mr.. Taylor reports the farmers
along the route as being most enthusi-
astic in the matter, and will readily
grant the right of way. He has never
been over the routes through Washing
ton county, but he thinks the Greene
county route a most desirable one, be-
ing almost natural one with but few
heavy grades, and the country mag
nificent farming community. The route
from Waynesburg will be via Muddy
and Whitley creeks, crossing the Mon
ongahela river at McCann's Ferry.
In reply to question as to which
route would finally be adopted, Mr..
Taylor stated that OF course he could
not say positively, but in his opinion
the road would go via Waynesburg.
The projectors, however, he said, could
only settle that matter. He further
stated that many OF the newspaper re-
ports in regard TO the road have been
inaccurate.
