The announcement in the Dispatch of
month ago that the Chesapeake and Ohio
had decided to build branch line from

q distance of 96 miles, is confirmed by
special from the Hot Springs sunday
night.

has been entered into between Mr.. De-
catur Axtell third vice-president or the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway, and John
~. McGraw. representing the landowners
of Greenbrier and Pocahontas counties,
under which McGraw agrees to furnish
the complete right Of way, and pay all
costs and damages from the Chesapeake
and Ohio line at Ronceverte to the forks
of the Greenbrier river, at Pocahontas
county, a distance of sc miles. and con-
veys to the railroad company one-half
interest in the Pocahontas county marble

of these bounties the company agrees
to build the road through the Green
