The railroad which is proposed to
build from Addison to Centralia Will De
about twenty miles in length. 1t will
follow the Elk river in the main, and
will mass through valuable timber for
ests and coal fields. The road will con-
meet the Addison, where the Webster
salt sulphur springs are, with the w.
Va. & P. R'y. system. 1t Is said the
road will be completed by next fall,
The Charleston, Clendennin and Sui
ton railroad, built by Charleston peo-
neople for twenty miles up the Elk
river from It's mouth, has paid from the
start. The intention is, as soon as the
financial condition of the country will
hermit. to extend the road on to con-
nection with the w. Va. & 2. at Sut'
ton. Two trains daily each way are
run over this road, which carry the U.

The track has been laid through the
new tunnel at Harper's Ferry, which is
being walled up at each end The abnt'
ments and piers for the new bridge are
completed, and the work for the new

Harper's Ferry side is nearing compile
ton. Upon portion of this temper
ary track has been laid, and connection
made with the main line near Island

The final disposition of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroads exhibit at the
Worlds Fair at Chicago has not YET
been determined upon. The Baltimore
and Ohio 90 longer wants it. The ex
hibit has served its purpose we'll, and
! the company feels that IL has been more
than repaid for the outlay incidents
in getting 1t together; but its preserva
tion now by the company would mean 6
proftless expenditure Of money. The
exhibit is too valuable one to be los
or allowed to be separated, and it is fell
that its preservation by the city OF Bal
timore would be both advisable and
ADVANTAGE s.-ClnnbGrlQnd Times.
A New York dispatch states that the
baltimore and Ohio Railroad will nc
longer be enabled to send and receive
traffic betwaen Boston and Washington
nv wav OF Poughkeepsie, because Of
| the abandonment Of the present ar
rangement by the Reading Railroad
compapy. II is further stated that the
Baltimore and Ohio passenger business
will be seriously impaired by the loss Of
the Poughkeepsie route. AT the eentra
buildipg it was said Thursday thsI
while that route gave the Baltimore anC
Ohio a through train TO Boston. ths
company has another route by way o.
New York and the coast lines which Il
shorter, though transfer will have Il
he made az New York. Officials sal
they will not loss passenger and there
will be more profit in the new plan, be
cause It calls for a shorter route. Thu
Baltimore and Ohio will shortly. put OF
two fast trains between New York ant
washington 20 cover the distance in .
hours and 25 minutes.
