". & l. Z. Will Probably Secure Control Of
the Valley Railway-NOlss and Per-
sonals Cleaned at the DspOS.

1t begins to look as though the efforts
of the w. & L. E. to secure the control
Of the Valley Railway would be sue
cessful. In such an event nearer out
let to the lakes would be afforded the
w. & L. E., as the northern termini OF
the Valley is at Cleveland, and a new
field would be opened up to Wheeling
line. When the general manager OF
the w. & L. E. submitted to the Valley
security holders a plan Of organization
whereby the former was to assume
the management of the latter
and assumed the payment OF certain OBJ
/ ligati ons, il was said that the Is. il o.
I interest would interpose an unsur mount
objection as any such arrangement
would cut that line of from through
/ route between Cleveland and Chicago,
via Akron. At q recent meeting OF the
first and second mortgage holders, Mr..
Blair's proposition was taken under
advisement and at the instance OF
| Washington Conner, the New York
broker, it was favora0lV considered, ex-
cept as to a few districts which Mr..
| Blair will have no trouble in overcom-
| ing.

The accident to train s on the B. &c
| O. Saturday morning at Welier's tunnel
grade was caused by the spreading Of
the rails and not by an open switch, as

gineer Cummings on Main street yester-
day and verified the fact, as above
stated.

era Passenger Agent of the Pennsylva'
MIA lines west Of PittsbuTg, was in the
city Saturday and quartered at the
Windsor. He is now engaged in the

Sunday cuts no figure in the freight
rush in the B. g. o. yards. The mer

new stone wall and platform at the
Pan-Handle depot is being pushed rap

ing the present week.
The new heavy steel rail now being
experimental with on the p. X. r., Is
proving a success, and it is the inten-
ton Of the management TO introduce IL

procured in the form Of motive power
is being brought into service on the
Pittsburg and Western to tide the road

the road which have fallen into disuse
on account Of worn machinery are be-
ing repaired and placed on freight.
