HARRISBURG, w. Va, August 20.
That the formal transfer of the West
Virginia and Pittsburg railroad to the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
will be made at an early date, is given
by the highest authority. The trans
fer will be made early in September,
after which all the property of the road
will become the property of the pur-
chasers. Sometime ago the sale OF
the road was ordered by the receivers,
but a proposition from the Baltimore
and Ohio people was accepted by the
court and the parties advancing the
proposition became the purchasers.
The general Office of the road and the
shops at Weston will be discontinued
as soon as the new purchasers take
charge. At least fifteen men in the
general offices will be discharged and
in the neighborhood OF thirty employees
of the road in various capacities will
be out of employment. DR. Kunst,
who has acted in the capacity of gener
al manager will be dismissed also,
while Owen Kraft, the auditor, will be
given d pOSlllOH III Int Stuel dl OlllISS
at Baltimore. The United States Ex-
press Company will have charge of
the express business of the new acqui-
sition instead of the old Clarksburg,
Weston and Buckhannon Express Com
pany. The West Virginia and Pitts
burg road extends from Clarksburg to
Camden-on-the -Gauley with branches
to Sutton and TO Pickens by way of
Buckhannon and it is generally under
stood that the new purchasers will al
SO purchase the Monongahela River
Railroad, which extends from Fairmont
to Clarksburg. distance of thirty
miles, the president, j. n. Camden,
already having called meeting Of the
stockholders of the road to agree upon
the sale.
If the latter purchase is made the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad will have
a direct line north and south from
Pittsburg to Sutton and Camden-on-
the-Gauley.

For years inventors worked on the
problem of cutting out square holes by
machinery, and were able to solve the
puzzle, practical machines for the pur-
pose appearing on the market. Just at
this time. however, they were rendered
useless because of the development of
hydraulic power which makes it posi-
BILE to punch holes of any shape in al
most any material. There are other
machines for mortising, ETC., which cut
holes square, oblong and of other
shapes. These, however, do not cut
out square finished holes in the sense
that an augur cuts out a circular hole.
