provements Contemplated.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Important
meetings Of the stockholders Of the
West Virginia Central q Pittsburgh
Railway Company and the Davis Coal
and Coke Company were held in this
city to-day. BY a nearly unanimous
vote of both corporations the capital
stock Of the West virginia Central was
increased 70 SlO,OOOOOO. and the inereas-
ed stock was applied to purchasing all
the lands and properties, real and per-
sonaI, Of tho Davis Coal and Coke Com
pany by the West Virginia Central.
This brings under the ownership con-
troll and management Of the West VIr-
glnia Central neariy 100000 acres Of
coal and timber lands, lying east Of the
AlleghenIes. covering, It is stated, the
largest body OF .bltuminous coal nearest
to tidewater.
The coal department Of the CONSOLE
dated company has about 200 coke
ovens, which will soon be Increased to
1000. The capacity Of the mines is
now about 5000 tons daily, and about
800 tons Of coke. 1t is proposed, under
the consolidation, to increase the OUT
put OF the mines to 5000 tons OF coal
daily and the coke to 1900 tons daily,
The officers OF the consolidated COM
pany are: ex-senator Henry @. Davis.
president; Senator Stephen B. EllSlna.
vice president; F. s. Landstreet, man-
ager Of the sales department; G. L.
Bretz, general manager OF the railroad
department. The company has oftices
at Boston, New York, Baltimore, Phil
adelphla, Chicago and st Louis. The
railroad is about 17O miles In length.
There are number of small stock
holders in the railway who have no In
terest in the coal company, and while
the former has large bonded indebted
ness the latter has no debt at all and
pays much larger dividend. The
consolidation will be more to the adj
vantage Of these small holders of rail-
way bonds than to anyone else. Owing
10 the great popularity OF the coal COM
pany it's name will be continued. but It's
operations will be known as the mining
department of the railway. the same
as the Elk Garden mines have hereto
fore. There will be considerable saw
ing in operating expenses by cOnSOls-
dating their interests.
1t has been decided to change the Of
Gce of Mr. c M. Hendley, secretary Of
the railroad, to Washington, which will
be more convenient to President a. G.
Davis and Vice President 8. B. Bllains'
who both spend their winters in that
city. The railway company has so much
