INTERESTS CONSOLIDATED.
West Virginia Central and
Davis Coal Company.

Two Immense Concerns get Together
Basis OF the Combination Officers of
the New 0rganizati0n-Gon
ton of the Deal Forecasted In This
Paper Some Time ago.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l3-lmportant
meetings Of the stockholders of the
West Virginia Central & Pittsburg
Railway Company and the Davis Coal
and Coke Company were held in this
city to-day. BY nearly unanimous
vote of both corporations the capital
stock of the West Virginia Central
was increased to $40. 900, 600 and the
increased stock was applied to par-
chasing all the lands and properties,
real and personal of tho Davis Coal
and Coke Company by the West Yir-
ginia Central This brings under the
ownership, control and management
of the West Virginia Central nearly
100, 600 acres Of coal and timber lands
lying east of the Alleghanies covering
it is stated. the largest body of btu
minous coal nearest to tidewater.
The coal department of the consol-
idated company has about 700 coke
ovens, which will soon be increased to
1000. The capacity of the mines is
NOW about 5000 tons daily and about
500 tons of coke. 1t is proposed I'M
der the consolidation, to increase the
output Of the mines to 1000 tons of
coal daily and the coke TO ! 200 daily.
The officers of the consolidated COM
pany are: Ex-senator Henry G. Davis,
president; Senator Stephen B. Elkins,
vice president; f. S. Landstreet, man
ager of sales department.; G. L. Bretz,
general manager of the railroad de-
partment. The company has offices
at Boston, New York, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Chicago and ST. Louis.
The railroad is about ITO miles in
length.
There are number Of small stock
holders in the railway who have no
interest in the coal company, and
while the former has a large bonded
Indebtedness the latter has no debt at
all and pays much larger dividend.
The consolidation will be more to the
az f2I OuHC Vi OlCSC Dtidll hOldNlo Vi
railway bonds than TO anyone else.
Owing to the great popularity Of the
coal company its name will be con-
tinued, but its operations will be
known as the mining department OF
the railway, the same as the Elk Gar
den mines have heretofore. There
will be considerable saving in operat-
ing expenses by consolidating their
interests.
1t has been decided to change the
offices of Mr.. G. M. Hendley, secretary
of the railroad, to Washington, which
will be more convenient to President
II. G. Davis and vice president s. B.
Elkins, who both spend their winters
in that city. The railway company
has so much more liberal charter than
the coal company it will greatly ia
cilitate the transaction or their ex-
tensive business.

Co-operation-Abnses are Being reg
niated by the Organization.
The following letter and the an
swer to it are self explain atory:
Mrs. FRAZER,
Dec. 18th, 1899.
Dear Madam: | have been told
you are one of the officers of a
Humane Society here, but If there is
such society in existence in our
town ! think it must be in name
only | cannot think any organized
society calling its self Humane So
ciety would permit the abuse of ami
mails | see daily on the streets of
of this town One of the most in
human abuses is a pair of mules
driven in the express wagon. They
are not only worked from six in the
morning till nine at night but are
overloaded and numerically whipped
from morning till night, and can
not understand why if there is such
an organization here as a Humane
Society these daily abuses are per-
mitted right before your eyes
l earnestly hope your Society will
look into this matter and that speed
lily, with hope that the condition of
some of the poor dumb animals
whom we call our yoiceless friends
will receive recognition at the hands
of your society, will sign myself
A LOVER OF ANIMALS.
THE REPLY.
In reply to the letter, | thank the
unknown correspondent very hearth
ly for the interest displayed, it is
most encouraging to the Band OF
Mercy to know that people; other
than its members, are taking friend
ly notice of its work.
The Society thinks that in many
cases cruelty results more from want
Of thought than want of heart" !,
and in regard to the express wagon
mules, | am inclined to think this
belief justified, for. since interest
has been aroused, a noticeable differ
enee has been observed by more
than one person, in their drivers
treatment of them.
The aim of the Society is expressed
in its pledge to ''be kind to all living
creatures, and try to protect them
from cruel usage" Very often a
simple reminder of the duty owed to
dependent dumb animals is sufficient
and this is preferred to more forci-
BILE method, unless necessary. If we
can enlist the sympathy of the PEG
pie of town and country alike, pub
lie opinion will influence men as
nothing else will, and in time, if ev-
eryone will do his and her own share.
and lend us their support, the aim
and hope of the Society will be real
lied, and Morgantown will be known
throughout the state as a place
where unkindness to animals is I'M
known. Very respectfully.
LEILA j. FRAZER.

The intention of the two concerns
to get together was forecasted in this
paper some time ago when the move
ment was inaugurated. The plans OF
the new concern were evidently not
given out in their entirety in Wash
ington. They are to reach Pittsburg
by way of this valley joining the West
Virginia Central road at Clarksburg
by an extension from Belington.
The road is to run from Clarksburg
to junction with the Pennsylvania
people down the river somewhere. 1t
is asserted by some that the 2. v.
and c. is to come to the state line
from Brownsville in order to make
this connection and in order to give
the Central people an outlet into
Pittsburg.
Morgantown is to be an important
place On the new road as it Is to be
the location on an immense coal and
coke plant under the direction Of the
Elkins people. Davis Elkins is to
the head of the concern here and it
will produce an enormous amount of
coal and coke for shipment. This inn
provement is expected to begin in
the spring.
This place has great deal ahead
of it and if half of the promises that
are now being made by capitalists in
regard to the work they are to begin
here it will be city of no mean pro-
portions within very few years. The
growth that has astonished everyone
in the last few years is but the begin
ming of what We are to have in this
direction.
