WHEELING, FEBRUARY II. $500.
Baltimore & ohlo,s New Departure.

Baltimore & Dhios New Departure
1t is agreeable TO note that the new
management of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad has begun the work of an
nounced improvements in earnest, ana
that the coming year will witness much
accomplished in the direction of in
creased facilities on the main system,
and particularly on this portion OF the
line. According to the statements made
by the officials who visited Wheeling
yesterday, attention within the coming
months is to be given to improvements
Of great magnitude. 1t is cheering and
gratifying news that among the first
matters to be attended to is the cree
ton of the new passenger station in this
city: we are promised, no further delay
in this regard. and the new manage
ment fully appreciates the Importance
OF the needs. The proposed new bridges
and double track between here and
Cambridge are but the beginning OF Z
general improvement in this line which
will result in double track along the
entire system, and make it one of the
best equipped lines in the country.
Some months since, when the great
deal was made by which the Baltimore
u Ohio road passed into new hands, it
was stated that millions of dollars
would be eypended in rehabilitating and
undermining the entire system, and this
promise. according to all evidence and
the statements made here yesterday. is
TO be Il realization. That Wheeling will
receive large share of the benefit
goes without saying. For years past
the city has been waiting for new
departure OF this sort, feeling how much
she was concerned in progressive pol
fey. Under the late receivership
she felt that her time had come, and it
looks very much as if she Is not to be
disappointed. the prospect being even
better under the new regime.
As the details develop there is to be
no disappointment, for the new man
asenent is fully alive TO the advantages
OF the undertaking. This was the in
tention from the beginning. and the
programme will be carried out. The
business arl commercial interests of
Wheeling are TO be congratulated on
the outlook.

Hase Trcason Exhibited.

1t will be remembered that some time
since Coin" Harvey was appointed
financial agent Of the Democratic ma
tional committee (the Bryan wing) by
Chairman Jones TO raise funds for the
free silver campaign in 1900. The mat
ter was considerable of i mirth-pro-
voking affair at the time, and since
then the more important national
events have caused the public to lose
sight of the amount Of success with
which Coin" is meeting in his efforts.
Suddenly amidst all the present excite
ment, there bursts forth a reference
to Chairman Jones financial schemes
TO pay Bryon's 1900 expenses. by the
Memphis Commerclal-Appeal. Our
Memphis contemporary is Democratic
organ, but 1t draws the limit on the
manner in which Jones, Harvey, Alt
geld. ct al are raising campaign funds
for next year, when it says of the latest
scheme:
THE latest method Of the Democratic
leaders to raise campaign fund by
contracting with |. II. Cannon & Co.

Coin Harvey, Altgeld, Teller and Stone,
a half cent for each .fve-center' and n
cent for each .ten-center' sold, is dis

of the ward bum politics."
This is cruel exposure made by the
Commercial-Appcal. It Is base treason
TO Organism, according TO the silver
Democracys way of viewing it. rank
betrayal Of free silver, and wholly un-
grateful to the party organization. The
Memphis paper is undoubtedly in the
employ Of "the Wall street sharks"
and deserves to be denounced as such,
as it undoubtedly will be. Why should
the Commercial-Appea Interfere with

the Thomas jefferson cigar and help
along the cause? True, the Coin-Jones
combination lacked discretion in choos-
ing the name Of 4 gold standard Demo-
crat to apply TO the cigars, but why
should the. Commerciat-Appeat see fit
to parade the fact, and interfere with
the raising of funds to make Bryan
President?

portion of the floor beams. foundation
is being put in for one OF the large auxiliary
buildings and a quantity OF lumber is on
the ground for them. Several carloads of
machinery for the main building are on the
tracks and will be installed before the side
walls of brick are put up. In fact, the
building of the brick walls will be one OF
the last things done on the building all the
heavy machinery being put in place first.
The heavy rains of the last month have de-
layed work considerably, but the contract
ors have a large force of skilled workmen
and will have everything ready TO begin
work as soon as the beets are ready. A
fence is being erected around the buildings,
as sometimes, even now, visitors hinder
the work. The two flowing wells which
have been sunk near the main building
afford a sufficient supply of water. Others
will probably be sunk in the vicinity. The

PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., June 26.- -(Special)
The prospects are now very flattering for
the immediate erection in this city Of a
large public library building of modern
structure. Tom f. Parmele, the mayor OF
Louisville, who owns a large brick yard
there, was in the city yesterday and
offered to furnish free all the brick neces-
sary for its construction, provided the cit
izens will furnish the ground and have the
work done. Attorney Byron Clark will
present the proposition to the city council
tomorrow evening and believes it will ap-
propriate a liberal sum and that the bal
ance of the necessary amount can easily be
raised from the citizens by subscriptions.
