DEFINITE INFORMATION WANTED.

DEFINITE INFORMATION WANTED.
The railroad loan ordinance is dead
and buried by the act of the people of
Ohio county, and from their decision
to kill it there is no appeal so far as
the original proposition is concerned.
The case is closed and the verdict rem
dered.
But Wheeling wants a railroad to
the coal and coke fields of Western
Pennsylvania. 1t has wanted such a
line for a quarter of a century, and it
needs it worse now than ever before.
The construction and operation of such
a road is necessary to the continued
welfare of the city and its tributary
towns, and is imperatively demanded
if we are to hold our place as a manu-
featuring community or make any adj
vancement in future years. We must
have a short line coal road. How to
best get 1t is the problem now up for
solution.
The Waynesburg, Uniontown and
West Virginia Company asked for half
million dollars of public money, and
the request was refused. The Pitts
burg, Connellsville and Wheeling Rail-
road Company asserts that it will give
everything the first named corporation
promised, and will ask nothing. They
have asked for bids for construction.
and assert that they are about ready
to award contracts.
Would it not be the part of wisdom.
and an act of public service on the
part of the Chamber of Commerce of
the city of Wheeling to appoint spec
ial committee to make rigid examin-
alton into the affairs of the Wheeling,
Company, and make public report as
to the ability and willingness Of that
company to carry out its promises? A
satisfactory report, establishing the
faith and credit of this corporation
would forever settle all talk of future
loan ordinances for any amount what
ever. If Mr.. Holmes and those asso-
ciated with him are in position to do
what they assert they will do, that set

ties the matter. If there is any doubt
about it, the public ought to be
promptly informed special COM
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
can ascertain these facts better than
anybody else, and their report, after a
proper investigation, would be accept
ed by the public as conclusive. The

no better service to the public. and ac-
ton along this line would be in har-

and scope of it's powers and duties, and
the information acquired would be ap-
preciated by the people of Wheeling
and Ohio county. The work ought to
be undertaken at once, and a prompt
report made. Let us know the exact
facts. If the PittsDurg, Connellsville
and Wheeling Company is acting in
good faith and intends to build its pro-
jected line, well and good. If there is
any doubt about it, then we must re-
turn to the Uniontown, Waynesburg
and West Virginia Company, and give
it, if absolutely essential, such aid and
encouragement as will not impose an
undue burden upon our people.

want it as soon as possible. The pub

BAKING LAYER CAKES.
Some Points Which the Cook should
Never Lose Sight of for
a Moment.

In baking shallow cakes like LAYER
cake il is important that the heat of
the oven should be moderate. and that
they should be raised fully in the pan
before they begin to brown. It is not
desirab Die that cakes of this kind should
brown much. They should be baked on
the bottom of the oven. If there is dan
ger of their baking too fast, put a pan
of cold water on the slide or a layer of
tin. CT even pasteboard, under the cake
pans. K is probable that a cake that
falls when it is taken from the oven
has risen too fast. 1t may be that it
was cooled too rapidly, or that il was
exposed at once 10 the cold air after
taking il from the oven. IL YOU have
no regular patent pans for baking
sponge cakes, cup and layer cakes, use
ordinary pans. but lift them up from
the bottom. so that a current of cold
air can pass under them. as well as over
them when they are cooling. Never re-
move a cake from the pan until il has
cooled.
4 lemon sponge cake Is an excellent.
inexpensive cake. Mix three well beat
en- eggs with a cup of sugar and three
tablespoonfuls of cold water. Add IL
teacupfuls Of -four and two scant tea
spoOnfuls of baking powder which have
been sifted together three times. Add
the juice of half a lemon. Bake the
cake in TWO layers. putting the follow
ing cream between them when they are
cold: Mix one egg, half n cupfUl of
sugar and tablespoonful of corn
starch together. Stir them slowly into
a half pint Of milk which is boiling.
Cook the mixture in double boiler IN
til it thickens. stirring ii all the time,
then add the grated yellow rind of a
lemon or some lemon eXtract.-N. Y.
