prsn oN - w. 3 ,. ROAD.

Considerable interest is once more
manifested by business men-and every
business man in Wheeling is indiyidu-
ally interested-in keeping alive the
Wheeling and COnnellsville Railroad
Company, and taking steps toward the
actual building Of the road.
This is most commendable and it is a
remarkable thing that the project, the
the entire feasibility aud great value Of
which are manifest aud admitted by all,
should have been allowed tOlie dormant
so long. The fact is not at all creditable
to Wheeling capital, which is supposed
TO know a good thing when it sees it,
nor 10 our manufacturer and merchants
who would profit so largely by the road,
and yet have scarcely raised finger in
aid of it. They all are aware Of the
great advantages 10 be derived from it.
The REGISTER has pointed them out
time and time again and everybody adj
mits that there can be no doubt Of its
great benefits. We have only TO look
at the map and the surveys already
made TO be doubly assured Of this.
In the matter Of direct cOmmunica-
ton with the ConneIlsville coal and
coke field alone there would be an
immense saving TO our manufactur-
ers. This necessary material we
now get by the roundabout way OF Pitts
burg, and it's increased cost places
Wheeling manufacturers at a great dis
advantage in competition with their
Pittsburg rivals. We are informed that
in the single item OF coke, Of which
about 500 tons a day would be used by
the Wheeling mills, the new road would
save dollar a ton in freight, or an an
nual saving 20 Wheeling manufacturers
Of about $500, eco.
Wholesale merchants inform Us that
it would bring directly tributary to
Wheeling q territory Of the richest kind
and a trade Of great value, which,
though lying at our door. is cut of
from rs because the door is shut 1t
would open up a new and vast dsld for
the enterprise Of Wheeling business
men OF every caliinE-a field which nat
u-aly belongs 20 Us and whose trade
would naturally come TO rs, bringing
wealth and largely Increasing the vol
Uae OF she city's business.
As 10 now stands all the preliminary
work has been done down TO surveying
the route, ard the company is in
position % taks Up rights Of way. All
that is needed IS a little energy and
financial backing TO start the actual
work Of building the road. The Penn
Sylyania communities through which it

est friendship for The enterprise and
win give it encouragement and I'D. All
that remains TO be done In this direc-

IA GRIPPE

Dr IL. SEAMAN, an officer Of the
New York Mutual Reserve Fund Life
Association, who has made the grip a
sreeial study both in professional and
financial way, SAYS mo epidemic in
an the history Of the disease-nOt chol-
era. yellow fever, nor typhus, and
scarcely typhoid-had made such long
death lists as the disease called the grip,
which includes the southern deugue, or
.breakbone fever various malarial fe-
vers. and other ailments loosely class
fled under the general name"
No person whom the grip has ever
laid hold Of in earnest, and who has sur
Pin dispute with DR.. SEAMAN on
BIT. Therefore the assurance Of
mus Epson, OF the New York
ty Board Of Health, that there will be
no serious grip epidemic in the country
the present year is highly encouraging.
slight cases are not iufreQuent, says he,
but they are rather Of catarrhal char
acter, without strongly marked fever
ism symptoms. Still even the mild cases
Of malignant influenza cannot be mis-
taken for simple colds. When La Grippe
goes abroad It doesn't travel incOgnito.
