FIVE HUNDRED MILES RAILROAD
Under Contract In West Virginia Pre-
cedence Among the States.

The Railway Age for March will
contain a very interesting article
showing the amountof railroad build
ing done in the United States during
the year 1890 and the amount in con-
temptation for this year. From jan
uary lst to December 3lst, 1899. the
total number Of miles OF track laid in
the United States, Canada and Mex
leo was 4, 558 miles, on $40 lines In
As states and territories. In West
Virginia the number Of miles laid was
AIS on seven roads. In number Of
miles under contract West Virginia
ranks first among the states with 400
and is second TO no other part OF the
country except the Indiana and Okla
homa territories, where 500 miles OF
important extensions are being made
by the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific;
Atkinson, Topeka & Santa Fe; and
ST. Louis & San Francisco. ssBut il
is not anticipated, adds the Age, re-
ferring to West Virginia projects,

The Salvation Army's Method Of Reis-
ing Money For Their Missionary
Operations.

Once more Self-denial signals have
been flashed from the Salvation Army
National Headquarters to each of its
100 corps all over the States, and with
astonishing rapidity its thousands OF
soldiers are preparing TO follow out
the instructions received. In accor-
dance with these the local Army for
ces will celebrate tbs week OF March
25th to April I'd as Week Of Prayer
and Self Denial. on the lines Of the
unique idea originated BY the 1Army's
founder and General, William Booth,
and since observed annually by his
followers all over the world.
The idea has certainly brought
about some remarkable results. even
so much SO that other religious insti-
buttons have tried to initiate it, but
with scant success. Perhaps they
have been deficient in the fervent en-
thusiasm that makes the Army sol
diers bend with such energy TO the
task.
This year it is proposed to raise the
sum OF $50, 600 for the giant purpose
Of following the local work in the in
terests of the poor and homeless, and
of relieving the terrible suffering
brought upon thousands of Army con-
yerts and heather natives in famine
stricken India. The money will be
raised through members of the Army
denying themselves OF some article of
food or clothing, or abstaining from
some not strictly necessary expense,
giving the amount saved to the Self
Denial Fund. This will be swelled
by contributions from outsiders, and
in all probability every reader Of THE
NEW DOMINION will be invaded by
some sweet face Army lassie and will
be given an opportunity TO assist in
this special effort Those who bear
in mind the Army's splendid Relief
work, eliminating in the mammoth
Christmas dinner for the poor, by
which over 1870, 900 destitute derelicts
were fed. as well as its numerous in
situations for the social redemption of
outcast humanity, will be quick TO re-
spond as generously as possible.

Shortening the b. & o.

1t is proposed to shorten the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad rs miles between
Washington and Chicago by building
an air line from Fairmont to Column

from Washington to Chicago 745
miles, instead of 500, and make the
travelling time 20 hours instead of "a.
Fairmont is 100 miles west Of Cum

takes wide bend to the northward
to Benwood, Bellaire, Cambridge,

commodate local traffic.

BLOCK ACCEPTED
Upper Freeport Vein Will Be
Taken Up.
Money viii Be Paid Out Within the
Next Few Days-Nearly Four Th0us-
and Acres OF Coal Bought. lutte
Supposed to be Back of the Purchase
Development Promised.

The owners of the block of coal
lands recently optioned on the Flats
and later accepted by the buyers to
whom it had been rendered are re-
jo.cing over the announcement that
has come to them. The land is to
be taken up at once and perhaps
some of the money will be paid over
this week. Certain it is that by the
beginning of next week the money
will begin to be transferred from the
purchasers to the presents owners.
The deal was engineered by z. S.
Johnson of the West Side and it was
made through Amos Steck, of Pitts
burg, broker of that place. There
are $500 acres invovled in the deal
and it includes the Freeport vein I'M
der this. The limits of the field
were given in this paper when the
deal was first announced
For whom the purchase was made
is not definitely known but it is
thought that G. lutte d Company, of
Pittsburg, are the parties back of the
purchase. They nave recently sold
their holdings down the river to the
Coal Combine and are hunting for
new territory.
In case it should prove that they
are the ones who are making the
move it means that they will develop
at once 1t is stated with some show
of authority that the development
will come this summer and that it
means a great industrial movement
in this section.
Cox Il Baker made the abstracts
for the land in question This has
been finished and there is nothing in
in the way of taking up the coal and
and paying out the money for it.
Other deals in the county are well
under way but none of them are
ready to be given out.
