Something More Than Wind in
The Rumors This Time.
More and Better Reports Of The Penn
sylyania Road up The West Side-To
Be Connected With The Elkins Roads

More and Better Reports Of The Penn
sylyania Road up The West Side-To
Be Connected With The Elkins Roads
At rksburg-C0nnecti0n on South.
The rumors about the extension of
the Pennsylvania railroad up the west
side OF the river have again been start
ed to circulate. They are very per-
sistent this time and there seems to
be some basis for the claims of those
who are so certain that the road is
coming They say that there are
some very powerful influences back of
the move and that it is bound to be
made before the lapse OF very many
moons.
Senator Elkins and others have
made very large purchases of coal
lands in this and Marion counties,
they are still in the business of buying
such lands and the Senator's visit here
few days ago was to look after the
lands for sale in this vicinity. Some
more buying will be done shortly I'M
less all signs fail
In buying this property some outlet
must be had and the syndicate back
of the deal has made arrangements
with the Pennsylvania company to ex-
tend its road to Clarksburg going
through the property owned by the
combine in this and Marion counties.
The road will connect at Clarksburg
with the extension of the Elkins road,
the West Virginia Central which is to
be built over from Belington.
This road will be built before very
long. 1t was projected some months
ago but was not constructed for some
time on account of various business
reasons. This time however it is
coming. The extension of the West
Virginia Central to Clarksburg and
the completion of the Pennsylvania to
that place will give an outlet to the
central part of this state into Pitts
burg markets. The business that
will be done over it will be immense.
Within short time the Central
will be connected with a road reach
ing the Chesapeake and Ohio and the
connection then between Pittsburg
and the seaboard will be very excel
lent. This place will be on the trunk
line which is bound to play no small
part in the future development of the
state.

COUNCIL MEETS.
Two Things ofImportance taken
Up by the City Dads.

People Who Throw Paper on the Streets
VIII be Severely Dealt with by the
Officers Paving of Front Street Hill
May be Prevented this Fall by Lack
Of Brick.
Council held it's regular weekly
meeting last night. They did not
do great deal of business but talked
over several matters OF interest to
the people of the town. The sergeant
and other officers were instructed to
enforce the ordinance against throw
ing paper and other refuse on the
streets and to arrest all violators
and take them before the mayor.
The latter will give them salty
dose. 1t is the intention to break up
this practice which besides being a
general nuisance is proving men
ace to the sewers of town. The streets
are kept Uttered up and the sewers
are becoming badly stopped up by
the accumulation of paper in the
mouths of them. Some of the sewers
will have to be taken up at great ex
pense TO the town and damage TO the
paving. All people should be very
careful about this and the practice
should be stopped.
The matter, of the paving of Front
street hill was discussed. The curb
ing il being delivered on the hill and
has reached to the top on one side.
The rest will soon be ready to go
down. The matter Of brick is a very
difficult one and we will have to 90
elsewhere for the material needed.
Mr.. Grant of the Morgantown
brick company has notified the coun-
ell that it will be impossible for his
company to furnish the brick needed
as they are already badly rushed
with orders and cannot give their
attention to the last order placed by
the council.
The mayor and street committee
were instructed to procure the brick
needed and they will go to work at
once to place the contract. One
hundred thousand brick are wanted
The failure to get them here may
delay the paying 50 that If will be

Mountains Engine will Soon be at
Dellslow.
A trip up the road bed of the
Blackbottle TO the end OF the grading
will pay you some OF these pleasant
afternoons. The road to Dellslow is
in very good condition for it now and
the grade is easily followed after you
get TO the town up the creek. The
trip was taken on Monday afternoon
by couple OF young men one of them
being representative OF this paper
Wheels were ridden to Dellslow and
the rest OF the trip was made on foot.
However if you are timid rider
you had better not attempt this
method of locomotion over the road
bed for there are many difficulties
that will be encountered. There was
little to see of particular interest
along the road. The rails have reach
ed the upper end of the bottom above
the Hogback and are now ready to
cross the road at the third crossing
The progress was quite rapid last
week but this week it has been held
back on account Of lack of material.
The projectors are getting very tired
OF this and they have made all the
kind of kicks that they know how to
make but it does not seem to do very
much good. Leaving the scene Of
busy activity we went towards Dells-
low.
Just below there is a very interest
ing spot. 1t is the location of AN old
charcoal blast furnace. Here after
burning for forty eight hours the fur
nacemen were able to catch six tons
of metal. Nowadays the Carnegie
company casts fifteen hundred tons
every six hours. The old furnace is
crumbling into ruins and but little re-
mains but heap of Stag to remind us
that there was at one time quite a
pretentious amount Of iron made here.
The mountains contain a number of
these old furnaces which have long
ago been abandoned on account Of
the march OF progress.
Reaching the grade it was followed
for some distance 1t extends about
three miles above Dellslow and will
be sent still further before the cold
weather stops the work Col. Gill
more has sent it through flying and
has lost very little time since he has
taken hold of it. He is an~experonc-
ed railroad man aud has done lots of
this kind of work.
The road bed is very solid one and
the road will be very good one when
1T is down and ballasted as 1t will be.
People at Dellslow are glad to see
the progress that is being made in the
grading but they are restless over the
final work of construction. They will
have the railroad to reach them. 1t
will bring everything they have right
into market and afford them many
conveniences that they at present do
not have. When the road is opened
to them and the rural mail delivery
gets to going they will have more con-
veniences than the people in Morgan
town enjoy at present. Metropolitan
airs will be put on by them and they
will rapidly grow into larger town

fitted most of all by the change and
they deserve to be. They have work.
ed for long time under many disad-
vantages but the end is in sight 1t
will not be much longer before the
whistle of the engine is heard in
