! HALF A MILLION
Is the Capital Of the New Street
Railway Company Which
WAS INCORPORATED TUESDAY
AT Charleston by Wheeling People.
The In.clligcnccr's Statement That
tho new Project was Backed by
Wheeling g Elm Grove People Ap.
pears to Have Been Verified oun-
Gil Committee to act Soon.

The Peoples Street Railway Com
panE, whose application to council for
q street railway franchise on certain
streets Of Wheeling created q mild
sensation last week. was incorporated
yesterday at Charleston, with an au-
thorIzed capital OF $500, 900. with Frank
Mcneil, c. L. Hill, R, n, Rau, John ].
Conirf and Gilmore Brown as incorpor-
ators.
A few days since the Intelligencer
told OF certain facts that would appear
to indicate that the Peoples company
was being fathered by people who are
prominent in the management Of the
Wheeling & Elm Grove electric road.
The publication Of the names of the In,
corporators strengthens this belief, es-
pecially the connection OF Mr.. Gilmore
Brown with the company, for Mr..
Brown for several years has been con-
nected with the Elm Grove company
as engineer In charge OF It's extensive
improvements.
officials OF the Elm Grove company
and the incorporates of the new COM
pany could not be seen last night. The
council committee on ordinances will
meet soon to take up the Peoples COM
pany's application for a franchise
1t Is generally believed that the Peo-
pies company is not particularly desir-
GUS to run It's road to North Wheeling
over the route outlined by Attorney Co..
milf last week. Instead. 1t Is likely the
new line will be constructed from Chap
line and Sixteenth streets. south on
Chapline. provided, OF course. Il is
awarded q franchise, and that 1t will
use the city loop OF the Wheeling & Elm
Grove road.

All Dnnncnhcrc,s Fault.

Assistant County Clerk Charley Dan
nenburg Is "hcfty" Individual. His
aVoirdupois will register close on to 300
pounds, but he Is as spry rs a feather
weight or n two-year.old. Brother
Dannenberg misses his morning street
car these days. and yesterday morning
he accepted the chance OF n nit" to
his office on o. II. Auber's wagon. There
were three other occupants, and all
went well until the corner OF Twenty
sixth and Chapline streets, when there
came crash. The wagon was badly
damaged. but fortunately none OF the
occupants was hurt. The accident was
not due TO distractions, as a sensational
rumor had It. Dannenbcrg's weight
was partly accountable.
