WORK COMMENCED.
First Ground Broken For the
Alliance AMI Canton
Electric Road.

Alliance, Oct. 24.-Work was com
menced on the electric railway line from
Alliance to Canton this morning, by a
gang of men under charge of Contractor
Davidson, west of the city.
The pupils in the Alliance high school
were nearly asphyxiated yesterday by
gas that was allowed to escape, some
boys having turned 1t on. The upper
rooms were filled with it. An investi-
cation Is being made.

ELECTRIC ROADS.
Are Making Traffic Managers
of Steam Roads Think
a Few Times.

Cleveland, Oct. 24.-The multitude of
additions to the electric railways Of the
state is making the question of how to
meet this competition burning one
with the steam roads. The question is
being pushed to an issue rapidly, and
while the passenger men do not discuss
1t in their traffic meeting or in other
public places where 1t is likely to get to
the ears of the electric lines. they are
talking of it on the quiet and are won
dering what steps can be taken to offset
the wonderful advantage that is being
gained by the motor roads.
A recent treatment of the electric
lines has brought out some Of the meth
ods that have been adopted. The steam
roads do not propose to have their traf-
flc entirely eaten up by the electric
lines, for in the local business there is
the most money for the railroads
Neither do they propose to disturb all
of their line by making a cheap rate
for the suburbanites. If they cut tho
rate this reduction would have to apply
on through business as well as subur-
ban, but this point has been gotten
around. Instead of changing the reg
ular fares the commuter form of ticket
has been adopted, because no rates are
based on these.
A close study made of the effect of
electric lines on their steam compet-
itOrs shows that while the passenger
movement of steam roads falls Off ma.
terially when the electric lines compete
for the most part electric roads create
q business for themselves that haa
nothing to do with seam railroading.
The question IL especially bothersoms
In Ohio. where the competition Is grow
Ing stronger, the state being crossed by
o network of trolley lines. Some rail-
road men predict that the movement
will end by the railroads buying in their
electric opponents and operating both
| steam and electric systems, allowing
the latter to do the local business.

field, 10 well known. 1t runs through
Minerva and Kensington, and down the
bed Of the old Sandy and Beaver canal.
+, From West Point to the river the route
,, is not so positively known, though 1t
has been finally settled upon. There
, were several surveys Of this portion
' Of the route made in 1s96-97, when the
Canton and East Liverpool company
ran its first lines. One came out on
the Ohio river at wellsville, eight miles
! west of the Pennsylvania line. This
route was deemed impracticable. A
second followed a natural depression
into the city of East Liverpool. but
this was also abandoned on account of
the grade. The final survey touches
the river not far from the town of
Smiths Ferry, Pa. At that point the
Pennsylvania company this week began
grading for tracks. 1t was announced
, that the company was beginning work
or its much talked Of short line to Can
ton and Massillon-though the thing
looks like an attempt to cut in on the
new B. G. o. route. Parties who know
the location of the survey, however,
intimate that the Pennsy has made
bad guess. If its intention were to cut OF
the other companys route to the river.

The last step mas been taken In the
perfecting of plans for the great con-
Meeting link Of the B. & o. system be-
tween Pittsburg and Canton. At a
meeting of the Canton and East Liv-
erpool Railway Co., at East Liverpool,
Tuesday night the right of way for
the new line was approved in part, and
reports heard from the final survey
now being made.
The News-Democrat's exclusive pub
lication Of the consummation of that
project, a day or two since, was con-
firmed Wednesday. by statement from
Mr.. Charles r. Miller, who. with several
other Canton men, arrived in Canton
from East Liverpool Wednesday.
While Mr.. Miller insists that the work
is being carried on by and in the name
of the Canton and East Liverpool Rail-
way Co., the corporation organized five
years ago by capitalists from Canton
and East Liverpool the assurances
from other sources leave no doubt that

THE FINAL SURVEY.
The details of this stupendous scheme
of the Baltimore & Ohio, which VIII
put Canton on one Of the greatest trunk
lines of the country-the shortest
through route from Pittsburg and Chi
cago by about 80 miles-was given ex-
clusively in the News-Democrat two
days since. The News Democrat was
the first newspaper in Ohio to let the
public in on the deal-first in pre-
l.minary story some three weeks ago.
and, later, on Monday night. when the
positive announcement was made that
the preliminaries were complete.
The final survey Of the route for the
new double-track line Is now being
made. The new line will start from
Pittsburg. eventually. and will rejoin
the main line at Warwick. Ohio, neces-
stating the building of s5 miles of new
rad. 1t will make lighter grade than
any of the present routes. besides the
material decrease in the distance. The
estimated cost of construction for the
new road is $4,000 per mile on the en-
tire distance from Pittsburg. exclusive
of the bridging of the Ohio river. al
