NEW STEEL RAILS


For ReIayfnH the Track On the Ohio
River RaIlroad-Other Improve-
ments.
The arrival of a thousand tons Of
new heavy steel rails for use in relay
ing track on the Ohio River railroad
marks the beginning of the work of
retracking the entire system, which
work when completed will place the
roadway of this line up to the stand
ard of excellence that marks perfect
railroad. The entire roadbed of the
Ohio River railroad is now of the
character recognized among the en-
cheering fraternity as perfect, and
with the present track replaced by the
heavier steel rails now in course of
delivery this system will be model
railroad in every sense. Already its
trains are faster and more regular
than those of any other railroad in the
Ohio valley, made possible only by a
solid roadway and the highest type of
operating machinery, says the Par
kersburg Sentinel.
1t seems to an ordinary person that
there is no room for further improve
ment in this road, as to the traveller
it appears to be complete; neverthe-
less the management is always plan
ming new and better things to accom-
modate the enormous and ever in
creasing passenger and freight BUSH
ness that comes to it A person IA
miliar with the condition Of the Ohio
River railroad few years ago would
not believe that the present high
standard of excellence it has attained
under the management of Mr.. Burt
was possible in the short time that he
has had charge of its affairs. But
there it is to speak for itself. Its
growth and history for the past five
years is almost marvel in successful
railroad administration.

The Baltimore ~ Ohio Railroad the
First Railroad to Introduce Auto-

mobile Service.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad has
established Electric Automobile Ser
vice at Washington, D. c., in connec-
ton with its train service, being the
first railroad to introduce this mode
of transportation regularly to and
from it's railway station.
The Automobiles are of the latest
electric pattern, absolutely noiseless in
regard to machinery and running gear.
They are provided with luxuriously
deep cushioned seats, with electric
lights and time pieces. Two small
trunks can be carried on the supports
at the rear of the vehicle, and the top
of the cab provides ample room for
small travelling bags and hand lug
gage.
The splendid streets of Washington
are particularly favorable for this
high-class transportation, and the
vehicles can in safety reach a speed
from ten to fourteen miles an hour on
any of the streets, excepting in the
business portion.
It has been arranged, when special
service is desired, passengers on trains
approaching Washington from the
East will notify conductor before ar
rival at Baltimore, and on trains from
the West will notify conductor before
arrival of train at Washington juno
ton.
The rates for this extraordinary SER
vice are extremely reasonable, and the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, with its
advanced ideas and methods, is to be
congratulated in being the first to in
augurate regularly this latest inyen-
ton in transportation service.

A special meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Bank of Wheeling was
held at their banking house on the 5th
day of April, 1900, to give expression
of their regard for the memory Of
their deceased friend, Joseph Seybold,
the late president of the bank
The following minute was unani-
mously adopted:
The surviving members of this board
desire to express their deep sorrow
for the death of Mr.. Seybold; and as
a slight tribute to his memory to place
on the permanent records of the bank
some expression of their admiration
for his many virtues, and their appre-
citation of the integrity that has distin-
guished his long life as a banker and
man of business in this. community
While his death was not wholly unex-
pected, the announcement of its sud-
denness came to them like a shock.
Only yesterday he stood in his place of
more than third of century of
faithful labor; to-day the skillful hand
that wrought so long has lost it's cum
ming; yet to the very last that hand
wrought faithfully and WELL Labor to
him was rest; and in doing what was
useful to his fellow men, and in low
ing them and his Master, he found the
measure of his highest reward and
happiness. Always considerate of the
rights and feelings of others, he was
ever ready to lend helping hand to
needy brother. Kind and gentle he
always was-in truth, he was every
where the Christian gentleman In
the home, in the church and In the
mart Of trade, his influence was for
good, and worked for righteousness;
and in his death keen loss has sud-
denly fallen upon the whole commun-
ity. His was, indeed, life complete
; IN well-doing; and the members of
this board will ever sincerely cherish
his memory. which is so greatly en-
deared to them. no less by his kindly
intercourse and gentle manners than
by his integrity, his purity, and his
true worth as a man and citizen They
direct that these proceedings shall be
communicated to the family of the de-
ceased with the respectful expression
of the sympathy and earnest condol-
ence Of this board.

This must be great shock to all

the country about the new and noble

The question is not at all whether a

trusting ''short-sighted and bungling"
officials. who have brought failure

That Mr.. Mckinley should attempt to
conciliate the Filipinos at this late day
cannot atone to this country for the
lives it has lost and the treasure It
has spent in the prosecution of a
brutal and unnecessary war. prccipi-
tated by his policy of rough shod i'm

TRUSTS AND THE EMPIRE.

If we We're to allow the trust influ-
ences which now dominate the coun-
try to go on it would not be n great
while before Americans would see
that their cherished institutions had
been subverted, and that an oilgarchy
of wealth had replaced them The
form of the Roman Republic was pre-
served long after the Hannas. the
Platts and the Quays of that day had
made them nothing but means to their
own ends.
1t is unnecessary to recall the evil
dences which go to show the absolute
power and direct domination of the
trusts over the Mckinley administra-
ton. They are notorious. The trusts
and protected monopoles are again
luridly before the American people in
their determination to perpetuate Il
regime which has been so fruitful, and
the continuation of which Is so neces-
sary TO their purposes. Do the voters
of America realize what another four
years of this trust rule would mean 4?
We must compliment the enemies of
the people upon their shrewd sense,
and regret that their opponents have
not displayed equal ability in meeting
1t. The combination of political mag
mates with the magnateS of the trusts
and monopolies has not yet quite sub
jugated the country. Another four
years of Hannaism would make the job
complete.
What the Republican party, as rep
resentative of the trusts and monop-
olies. is seeking to secure is absolute
power. 1t does not have it to- day. be-
cause there Is danger in the Supreme
Court of the United States and in the

HOW CHINESE ARMY WAS
RAISED.
philadelphia Record.)

The possibility of war in China
lends an interest to the usual manage
mcnt of military affairs in the EN-
pire. When there is no war no atten-
ton is paid to the condition of the
army. An incident of the war in 1860
with the British shows the audacity
with which the Chinese Government is
robbed. The intrenchments in the
neighborhood of the Taku forts are
supposed to be always flanked by Il
great body of cavalry. At that time
the commanding General drew full
pay and rations for 10000 men and
horses, and put the money in his own
pocket. Once every year there was an
inspection, and in order to conceal the
true state of affairs on such occasions
the General hired the requisite num-
Der of men and horses for few days.
When the British approached he sent
out to enlist the usual number for in
spection." as he said. When he had
them mustered he marched them off,
on pain of death. TO face the foe.
Even these deceived men, lacking all
training, fought bravely as they were
bravely led. charging up to the very
guns of the British. Then they aid
ed in defendig the works. but at the
first reverse they melted away and
left the place undefended.

NOTES AND OPINIONS.
sUPER1MPosED TURREr:
philadelphia Times.l

A naval board especially convened
to consider the subject has decided in
favor of the superimposed turret for
the new battleships. This is contrary
to the opinion of the Bureau of Con-
struction. but is apparently in accord
ance with the opinion of the men who
have to fight the ships.
In technical dispute of this kind.
non professional opinion is of no value
The non professional indeed. can
hardly form an opinion. That the new
form of turret must require some
adaptation in the construction of the
hull is evident; but If it adds to the
fighting efficiency of the ship the con-
structors must accommodate their
plans to 1t. This is a question for the
men of practical experience.
Theoretical objections were proba bly,
the reason for the contradictory views
expressed upon the turrets of the [ear-
sarge. The line officers seemed gener-
ally to like them and the bureau off,
GERS did not. Now special board has
approved them and the next time we
have war their merits may be decided
beyond dispute.
