miles long, and is built through SEQ
ton OF the territory exceptionally rich
for wheat growing. Three stations
about equal distances apart have been
established ON the new road and have
been named Chopper CARRIER and Bill
ings.
This line gives promise Of being one
of the best paying branches OF the Rock
Island. Within the past few weeks
during which time part of the road
has been open for traffic over 30 cars Of
wheat have been hauled out. At each
Of the three stations fiourishing towns
are springing up and elevators and
other buildings are being erected as
fast as the material can be procured. !.

ORR STREET RAILWAYS.

That is agreeable news which assures
us that a syndicate of our own citizens
has purchased a controlling interest in
the Richmond Railway ana Electric Com
pany.
The franchises of this company in so far
as they affect the Main-street electric
line ana the Broad-street horse-car line,
will expire next year, and therefore it is
important that the old company, If IT
should be successful in securing re-
newal of those franchises, should be in
the hands of men who may be trusted 10
give us a good service and do everything
possible to facilitate a general transfer
system here.
We know nothing Of the plans Of the
gentlemen of the Richmond syndicate, but
we are sure they not only wish to make
their property profitable, but desire to
meet al the just expectations Of the
community. One of the great demands of
our people is that there shall be sys-
tenn Of transfers between the cars of the
old company and those of the Traction
Company.
II is not our purpose now to discuss
the reasons why this arrangement was
not made long ago. but we are sure those
reasons would not obtain should the
Richmond syndicate secure from the City
Council renewal Of their franchises.
In the opinion of many thoughtful men,
there is much unnecessary street-car
trackage in Richmond and vicinity. We
know Of some places where II amity pre-
walled between the two companies. both
might use. for limited distances, the
same tracks. Again. we are encouraged
20 hope that We may see the Church Hill
cars taken from Franklin street and run
on Main street. This has always been de-
sirable. but it is going to be more desira-
BILE hereafter than ever before, because
the Church-Hlll people will want to be
landed at the Main-street railroad depot,
and that can be best done by running the
Church-Hll cars down Twenty-hrst street
TO Main, and up Main. say, TO Seventh
street, &c.
Looked at any way you please, the ac-
pusiton of the old company's rights and
property by tho Richmond syndicate is Of
the highest Importance. Ii puts in the
field a formidable bidder for the new
franchises. and IT inspires the belief that
a general transfer system is no longer
the remote or impossible thing it has so
long been.

LANCASTER, PA, August 4.-Sigmund
S. Albert, son of Adolph Albert, a we'll
known merchant Of this city, resigned
Wednesday from West Point Military
Academy. where he has been cadet more
than a year, and returned home yester-
day.
The alleged reason for his resignation
IS that he was subjected to persecution
because of his being a Hebrew. While
there is no doubt that this Is the real
cause young Albert will not say So.
though it was practically admitted this
evening by several of his friends The
former cadet is manly young fellow, of
good physique, and much intelligence.
When seen this evening at his home he
