For some days past G. o. Smith, a
Wheeling real estate man, has been buy
ing property in Benwood on a very exten-
sive scale. The property purchased is Sit
uated along the hillside, or what is COM
monty known to Benwood residents as
Kentucky Heights from Schad's cross
ing as far south as Watt Dugan's, oppo-
site the Wheeling steel works. That there
is big scheme at the back of this whole
sale purchase of properly is without
doubt, for the party buying it states that
he is ready to buy every house and lot
along this road, and has been paying
good prices Some of the owners, seeing
that there was demand for their prop
erty, have held out for higher figures.
One man who was offered 800 wants 49,
coo. Among the sales made were several
houses and lots owned by the Boggs' Run
Mining company, which We're occupied by
the company's employees.
AT least couple of dozen houses have
been bought and the sales have run up
into the thousands of dollars. kentucky
Heights" is a road running along the hill
side through lower Benwood, and is about
fifty feet Immediately above the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad tracks. There is much
speculation among Benwood people as to
the real motive of the purchase of all
this property. Mr.. Smith, who has been
negotiating all the transfers, refuses to
give any information except that he is
specializing. The common belief about
Benwood is that he is simply acting as
the agent for another party and the other
party is none other than the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad company.
IT is Thought that the Ra1timOra e. Ohio
company wants all the ground along
Kentucky Heights for the purpose Of
building connecting line with their Bell
aire bridge about a hair mile below, SO
that trains for the Pittsburg division will
not have to run down to Benwood juno
ton and then transfer to other tracks. It
is alleged that about ten years ago the
Baltimore & Ohio company had intended
the construction of q northern extension
at the eastern end of the bridge, and had
company organized for the purpose Of
buying this property for them. The east
ern pier of the bridge is said to have been
constructed so that the trestle could be
built at any time. 1t is not supposed that
the purchase of the property has anything
to do with the proposed Benwood & Bell
aire road bridge, as the property bought
pose.

wind of fun from start to finish. and
into which are introduced more novel

talented singers, finished dancers and
high class vaudeville artists, than ever
were engaged TO bring forth the au-
thors idea of three hours solid fun,
and extremely funny situations; in
fact, there are virtually two shows in
one. "A Boy Wanted" was the talk
of the cities by both press and public
the past season as being the greatest
success ever launched by Mr.. Blaney,
whose successes are immense.
Once every year a particularly sue
cessful burleSQue organization is
launched; one that from its own force
becomes more generally and favorably
known within a few weeks than 9TH
ers do which may be on tour several
seasons. The reason for this is not
hard to solve, its success is due to its
superior quality; its merits being
spread abroad and carried along by
the praise of those who have witnessed
its production. Such being the case, it
is not wonderful that Vanity Fair
has had such phenomenal success.

THE POSTAL CONGRESS.

The Indications, says the Washington
Star, are growing stronger that the ses-
sions of the postal congress to be shortly
held will be extremely lively in variety
of ways. The Belgians and the English
men seemed to have locked horns over the
respective questions of intermediate
transit through countries lying between
the d'spatching point and destination of
overland mails and the transportation of
mai! by water. The intermediate transit
proposition, it is said, will provide for
percentage reduction of rates for n term
of six years, lowered proportionatcly ut
the end OF two, four and six years, the
reduction aggregating 10 per cent.
The proposed reduction on maritime
rates will he recommended to reach the
same figure. fight is imminent on
both, with chances strong for reflections.
The committee on ways and means has
finished the consideration Of the verbal
changes i'll the existing regulations. and
OH Thursday was considering the ques-
ton OF universal postage stamp: the
proposition to reduce the rates for mail
i'll transit and the proposed establishment
of gold standard in the settlement of
postal balances between members CT the
international Postal Union. IF any re-
ports favorable to these propositions are
made it is believed tina; the proceedings
OF the congress itself will ne even more
interesting than is now anticipated
