Street RAIL WAY PLANS
No Extensions Until Grades Are
Established.
ATALK WITH Mr.. WHARTON
Work on the Walkerville Line viii Not
Begin Very Soon-The Route Has
Not Yet Been De-
cided Upon.

1t was reported some time ago that
the street railway company was grad
ing for an extension Of its line on the
west side to take in the school Of mines
on the loop Manager Wharton stated
yesterday that the report probably
started from the fact that some trench
digging was being done by the water
company in that part of the city.
1--WE will not begin to think of ex-
tending the car line on the west side
before the city accepts the plats of a
couple of additions through which we
must necessarily GO" said Mr.. Whar-
ton. I'VE do not propose to lay tracks
before street grades are established
This line will be built, but not, as
said before, until these plats have been
accepted by the city council and street
grades established
How about the Walkerville extern
sion?" the reporter asked.
up to date I have received no as
surances that work on this proposed
line will begin very soon. l cannot say
give you an idea of the probable route
by which the city may be entered
Turning to the Utah avenue line, Mr.
Wharton said. The old rails will be
taken up and new ones laid on new fir
ties the full length Of the street--a
double track This work will begin at
once and be pushed to completion as
speedily as possible, AS to that part
through the paved districts, there may
be some delay, because of our inability
to secure the high rails used in paved
streets. 1t will be some time yet before
we can do any paving"
Mr.. Wharton reports a busy season
on the several lines

The preliminary survey for the pros
posed short line from the main line, of
the Baltimore & Ohio at Llttleton. in
this state, 10 a point on the Central
Ohio division, near Barnesville, has
been completed and the hope is freely
expressed in Belmont and Wetzel coun-
ties that the powers that be in Balti-
more will determine upon the speedy
construction of the line, which will open
up for development as rich coal ter
ritory as can be found in this section Of
the country.
Two routes have been surveyed, both
starting at LIttleton, In wetzel county,
this state. and running down Fish
creek to It's mouth; thence across the
Ohio. and up the river to Powhatan,
thence out the Captina creek val
ley At the mouth Of Long run, on
captina, one of the routes goes up the
run and strikes the main line of the
Baltimore & Ohio one mile east Of
GAINESVILLE. The other route continues
out captina from the mouth Of Long
run and strikes the Baltimore & Ohio
a few miles east of Cambridge. Both
routes are shorter than the present line
from Llttleton. via Moundsvi!le. Benz
wood Junction, Belinire. etc. The Cap
tlna-Long run route 1.-THE shorter of tine
two) is sixteen miles shorter than the
present Baltimore & Ohio line. ana in
addition the grades are not nearly so
numerous or heavy.
1t is said that IL the Baltimore s. Ohio
people build this short line 1t will be
used as a freight line. largely for coal
transportation There is an abundance
Of coal along both the captina and
Long run valleys, on the Ohio side.
whicl would be rapidly developed after
the building of the road; in fact much
of the coal along captlna has already
been optloned at $lS per acre. on Long
run an eastern man, Mr.. Meecham, sew
eral months ago secured options on
much OF the coal at 81 an acre. but
these options expired September las:
and it is said their renewal was not in
legal form. and that the owners Of the
land do not propose to be held by it.

pen. In q word every ticket except the
one way tickets that are good until
used, has to be reprinted. and has to
be reprinted not later than next SAT-
urday.
Every railroad in the country is fac
ing a similar contingency. hut 1t Is
doubtful II any are making such sweep
ing changes as the Pennsylvania lines.
The central territory drained by the
lines, sends business to and from ev-
cry quarter Of the United States, and
the number Of tickets which must be
kept in stock is prodiglous.
On the fourth floor Of the general Of
Gee building at Pittsburgh. there is not
nook or Granny that is not allied with
tickets or books in which records Of
tickets are kept. There is every con-
ceivable kind of ticket, from little
bit of cardboard not an inch in width to
coupon tickets six feet in length that
will carry a man from Pittsburgh to the
remotest corner OF Mexico.
There IRE on the Pennsylvania lines
no less than 800 ticket offices and agen-
cles and every one Of them must have
It's stock of tickets replsnished, for
tickets made for use up to and Includ-
ing 1899 will not do for 1900.
Another change as sweeping as the
change in dates that Is being made in
the re-prlnting is the substitution Of
safety paper for the ordinary quality
now in use. The PennsylvanIa lines
will be the first road in the country to
make exclusive use Of safety paper, al
though at the last meeting Of the
American Association of general pas
senger and ticket agents, 1t was decId-
ed that the great majority of lines
would as soon as possible adopt 1t.
Another change the new year has
made necessary is the sending out Of
new stamps for the agents. About sixty
of those now in use will be valueless
after the end of the month and new
ones which will last for decade are
being sent to take their places.-Pitts-

Soclety's calendar for 1893 had It's red
letter function last night in the Char
ity Ball, which was the largest AFFAIR Of
the year and the most successful Char
ity Ball ever given in this city. It
realized the fondest antlcipations, and
the Woman's Hospital Association, un-
der whose auspices 1t was given, had
reasons to feel proud Of the brilliant
attainment of the efforts Of several
weeks put forth for Its success.
The attendance was representative Of
the beauty and fashion Of Wheeling
and surrounding towns. and there was
q very large number Of visitors from
distance. The entire second floor Of the
Mcclure was utilized. The dining room
was given over to dancing, while the
parlors and reception rooms were de-
voted to card games and tete-a-tetes.
There was an absence Of festoons and
similar decorations, and a prettier eff
feet was achieved by floral embellish-
ments Of the palatial parlors. Palms
were banked in all locations admitting
OF their tasteful placing. They formed
a bower in the ball room, from which
the Opera House orchestra dlscoursed
dance programme OF twenty-one
numbers.
There were about 300 people present.
and as the number Of tickets sold was
above this figure. 1t will be seen that
the success from financial viewpoint,
as It was from all others. was consid-
cradle. THE ball was for the benefit
OF the City Hospital. and its patron
esses, members Of the Woman's Hos!
pItal Association, who were as follows,
acted as the reception committee: Mes

history took its niche in the corridors
