SOME RAILROAD NOTES.
@. e O.'s Grain Traffic-ImportinS
House for Newport News.

The freight traffic Of the Chesapeake
and Ohio from the West is heavier than
ever before in the history Of the road.
Grain, coal, and lumber load the long
trains to Richmond and Newport News.
Some idea Of the proportions Of the grain
traffic is gained from the fact that there
were at Newport News yesterday six
large steamers loading with corn, oats,
and wheat received from the Chesapeake
and Ohio for foreign ports.
The Chesapeake and Ohio receives from
the Big -Four at Cincinnati every day an
average of 80 carloads Of grain. The
movement Of cereals TO the East Is eX-
pected to continue until the LIST Of April.
The coal traffic Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio is now very heavy. The movement
Of lumber requires an immense number
Of cars.

II IS said n movement is on foot for
the establishment Of a large importing
house at Newport News. The export
trade of that port has assumed enormous
proportions and is constantly growing.
Exports, however, are not specially valu-
able to a city, nor indicative Of the pros
perity of its businessmen. Importing
houses indicate more business solidity.
The movement to establish china and
linen importing-house at Newport News
has been set on foot. 1t is understood
that New York capital is behind the
scheme. which has not yet, however, as
sumed tangible form. It is believed that
dealers of the South and large portion
Of the West could be supplied from New
port News with imported goods, more
cheaply than from New York, which is
now the market in which merchants Of
those sections purchase.

CUTS NO ICE.

Greed or politics cuts no figure with the
Elks. They are American citizens, and
their order is open only TO white male
citizens Of the United states. The laws
Of the order allow only one lodge in
city, and with this wise restriction there
are 5000 members. and Borkley, Va,
has as much to say in the Grand Lodge
as New York.
The Grand Exalted Ruler Of the order
is Judge b. VI. Allen, a citizen of Bir-
mingham, Ala. He is a native of Vir-
ginia, born in Caroline county, and an
alumnus Of the University of Virginia.

THEY SPEND THOUSANDS.

II IS generally understood that II Rich

secure II, and il is an assured fact that
wherever the Elks go they spend on an
average Of $4,000 The order Of Elks
is distinctively an American order and
embraces the representative citizens Of
the country, every profession being rep
resented. President Mckinley is a men,

Grover Cleveland took his first degree in
Buffalo; Ex-Governor Campbell. OF Ohio;
