The matter of building a stree

The matter of building a street
railway for Fairmont is not meet
ing with that hearty response
that was anticipated for it in the
start. The war times, the dull
ness every where and in all lines
has had its affects. Another
item was the lack of assurance
that the railroad would be built,
even after the survey had been
made as indicated. However the
projectors tell us that the matter
is not at its final rest, and as
soon as the war is over and
money losens up another attempt
will be made to get it under way.
This enterprise would be the big

WHOLE NO. 1855
GEN. RUFF HERE.
President OF The West Virginia and Penn
sylvanla Railroad.

Gen. Geo. F. Huff, made a fiy-
ing visit to Clarksburg Tuesday
and left Wednesday morning.
He came to consult with Mr..
Lowndes, the retiring president
of the road, on important bust
ness matters. While here he
visited the county court, the COM
missioners being then in session,
and made some explanations con-
corning the affairs of the West
Va. & Pennsylvania Railroad,
and took up the subject OF the
county bonds, which were issued
several years ago. and which
some members of the court seem.
ed anxious 10 cancel. He thought
that if the Company should now
within a reasonable time con-
struct the road as originally laid
out they would be legally entitled
to the bonds. If they were he
would appreciate the benefit of
them. On the other hand. if the
Company was not lawfully en-
titled to them he did not desire
to use dollars worth Of them.
1t was held by Gen. HUFF that
after the time fixed for their for
fixture had expired, the court
had upon one and probably three
occasions settled the question by
deciding that the bonds should
not be forfeited. Relying on this
decision he and other gentleman
had in good faith taken stock in
this company and paid cash for
1t. The time limit of the roads
charter had been extended six
years by the State Legislstdre;
and he was advised that this
court now could not set aside the
former order. The Company ex-
pected to proceed to raise funds
to complete and put the road in
operation.
Gen. Huff is man of promi-
nence and large financial indu-
ence-is an energetic. active
worker, with much railroad expe.
rience, and he will push the
scheme he now has in hand 10
the uttermost. To what extent,
if at all. the existing war may
retard his operations. is not now
forseen.
Gen. Huff is practical, expe-
rienced banker and a large prop
erty holder. He represented his
home district, Greensburg, Pa,
in Congress and was next elected
Congressman from the State at
large, receiving the magnificent
majority of 100000. Those Of
our citizens who came in contact
with the distinguished financier
and statesman, were charmed
with his personality. We hope
he will find West Virginia an
agreeable field in which to en-
ploy his marked ability as a pro-
moter and organizer of large
public improvements.

RIO GRANDE WESTERN.
Planning to Run From Ogden to
Pacific Coast and Mexico.

DENVER, July II. - The Times"
says to-day:
According to present plans, the Rio
Grande Western Railroad is to become
one Of the greatest railway systems in
the world. The idea has been form
ulated by Colonel D. G. Dodge, Cen
eral Manager of the road, to extend
its line from Ogden to the Pacific Coast
and south through California, with a
possibility of it's being extended into
Mexico.
The only proviso which enters into the
arrangements is that the United States
become possessors of the Philippines.
1t is believed that the commerce which
will result from the annexation Of the
Philippines reaching this country by
way of the Pacific Coast will necessi-
tate increased railroad facilities. This
consideration led Colonel Dodge to plan
the extension of the Rio Grande West
ern.
1T will not be started this year"
said he, "but am positive that the ex-
tension will be made within the next
five years, and possibly work will be
commenced in 1899. 1t is a great un-
dertaking, and one that will require
an almost inconceivable amount of Ia
Dor and capital. At the present time
our plans are so indefinite that I can
hardly say just how things will come

ent of the construction of the tunnel,
stated to-day that he had not the slight
est hope in the world of rescuing the
men alive. He said that the pipe in
Which the air is forced into the tunnel
ends about 100 feet nearer the shore
than the workings where the men were
employed when the explosion occurred.
Owing to that fact the foul air and
gases would be forced on to them be-
fore it would begin to escape into the
other portion of the tunnel
Should it happen that any of the men
lived they would as speedily as possible
make their way to the end of the pipe,
where they would be assured of safety
the tunnel from the pipe with consider
able force, it would have tendency
to force back the pure air and create a
space of at least ten feet, where COM
parative safety would be assured.
Superintendent Kingsley of the Water
Works Department said to-day that he
had no reason to believe that there had
been any cave-in at the point where
the explosion occurred. Even though a
considerable portion of the clay roof
and sides of the tunnel caved in there

its way in, as the tunnel is sixty five
feet below the bed of the lake and the
surrounding earth is unusually firm
and compact.
The only thing with which the res
cuers have to contend at present is the
foul air and the chance of another ex-
plosion taking place.
A rescuing party, which was lowered
into the tunnel returned after being
down an hour, and reported that it had
been unable to penetrate further than
4,200 feet, nearly half a mile from the
face of the drive. The members of the
party said there was undoubtedly fire
raging in the tunnel.
Attempts were made throughout the
day by rescuing parties to reach the
scene of the explosion in the tunnel, but
in every case they were driven back,
almost overcome by the suffocating
smoke and gas.
Fully 5000 people have surrounded
the mouth of the tunnel all day, among
whom are many relatives of the victims
of the disaster.
1t is not believed that the spot where
the accident occurred can be reached
for many hours, perhaps days, and
there is not one chance in a thousand
that any of the men will be found
alive Assuming all the men are dead,
twenty lives have been lost since the
tunnel started.

aged 80 years. BY reason Of his va
ried experience and official connections.
Major Moore was we'll known through
out the country. In early life he was a
newspaperman and a reporter Of Con-
gressional debates.
When the civil war broke out he en-
tered in a civil military company, but
soon after was detailed for duty in the
office of Simon Cameron, then Secretary
Of War, and also the position of Adju-
tant General of Volunteers. During a
short portion of 1865 Mr. Moore filled
the position of Private Secretary to
President Lincoln, and after the latter
was assassinated he continued with
President Johnson in a similar posi-
ton. In 1886 he became Superinten-
dent of the local police force.
