RAILROAD NOTES AND NEWS.

The Ladies Auxiliary to the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen will have
their convention at Pittsburg on Oc-
tober g. Arrangements to this effect
have now been perfected. Sunday
Mrs. George St. Myers and several
of the other ladies identified with the
organization in. this city were at the
above named city and called on the
representatives of the order there. The
result was Pittsburg was decided up
on as being the best city this year to
hold the convention. The affair will
be given on a very large scale, for
the ladies take very large interest
in their organization. They are not
ed for that, however, and at every af-
fair given by the trainmen the ladies
are always on hand to help make it a
success. The purpose of this conve1
ton is to build up the organization II
all the tranmen's branches, wifes of
conductors, firemen and engineers are
expected to be present and as eac1
of the above have an organization of
their own it is expected that much
good will be derived from the meeting.
At any rate Wheeling will send a large
delegation of the women to this con-
vention and next year it is very like
ly that the meetig will be held here.

THE MOUNDSVILLE LINE.

The Moundsville and Benwood cleo
trio line continue to do fair passen-
ger business. Sunday being the first
day of camp meeting the double service
was in effect between Benwood and
the grounds. The service Was the
very best and the cars did a rushing
business. Everything is running in
apple pie order in all departments,
and even the extra men have about
all the work they can do. The line
did not suffer any during the heavy
rains, which proves that the roadbed
is in first-class condition. Then too
the company had two trolley parties
last week which increased business
little. Taking everything into consid-
Grafton the line has made more money
this season than any year yet, and, the
owners of the same control d good
thing.
