COAL FOR ABROAD.

The b. & o. and p. r.. II. Will Extend
Their Lines to Develop Coal Lands.
Are building Big Docks-The ID. &
o. Making Contracts With tahah
Mills to Furnish Fuel.
The B. & o. is going in the coal
skipping business on gigantic scale.
The Consolidation Coal Company,
which operates and owns immense
bituminous coal fields in the Cumber-
land region, is closely identified with
the scheme. The B. & 0. is spending
hundreds of thousands OF dollars IN
constructing enormous coal piers,
chutes and storage yards at Austin Bay,
a few miles from Baltimore. The coal
traffic terminal will be opened about
October l, and will be able to handle
20, 900 tons daily. 1t is stated the b.
& o. is making contracts with the
Italian and other foreign governments
for furnishing the larger part OF the
fuel supply for their mills.
William Solomon, chairman of the
executive committee of the B. & O.
Southwestern, and Thomas Fitzgerald,
general superintendent of the B. & o.,
and officials of the Consolidation Coal
Company have been at Deer Park for
several days comforting on the coal
business.
The Pennsylvania officials are also
watching the European coal demands
and are making plans to increase the
coal export business. The Pennsyi-
vania line will ship their coal from
Newport News and Norfolk. The con-
troll of the Chesapeake and Ohio and
n
practical monopoly for an increased
coal output along these roads, and for
securing a fleet of coal carrying boats
and European docks and piers.
1t is said George w. Stevens will soon
retire from the presidency OF the COM
pany and will be succeeded by some
one to be named by the Pennsylvania
interests. Nearly all the big opera
tors along the Chesapeake and Ohio,
Norfolk and Western and B. & o. are
aware Of the desire of the railroads to
handle a greater coal tonnage, and eff
forts are being made to increase the
output Of the coal territory. The
fields OF Pennsylvania are so controlled
by the steel companies and the output
all used for home consumption that
the railroads all turn to West Virginia
for coal to export, and from the pres
ent outlook great development will be
made in this State in a few years.
The shortage of fuel in England,
Germany, Austria and on the CONT
nent in general, with the advance III
cash prices in Europe have attracted
the managers of the roads
The B. & o. now have agents in
Europe negotiating for pier and dock
ing privileges in anticipation OF a
heavy coal export business. II is said
that the B. & o. plans will give them
the largest coal fleet of any road.

Report That Work Is to he started

Report That Work Il to BE Started
Upon the r. @. a. w. Railroad
Line.
From Waynesburg, Pa, comes the
information that the engineers COM
pieted their work of locating the line
OF the Pittsburg, Connellsville &
Wheeling railroad to this place Friday,
and are now working on the final To-
cation east of Waynesbrg. This work
OF making the final location is to be
pushed right on to Millsboro. A most
thorough and accurate final survey is
being made, and the engineer in charge
remarked to an Independent repre-
sentative that no better or more COM
plete survey had ever been made
through the county than this one. 1t
will take more than two weeks solid
work to complete the location.
Wednesday evening we received a
letter from a friend at Moundsville, w.
Va, who Is very reliable, says the
Waynesburg Independent We quote
from this letter of the 21st inst:
From our best information no work
has yet been done by contractors on the
P C. & w. Johnson & Weeden have
two carloads of stuff. consisting of
horses, scrapers, ETC., here and are
waiting for either a contract between
here and Shepherds or a sub-contract
anywhere on the line. Bids were re-
ceived Monday for grading, etc., the
line between Moundsville and Shep-
herds, and were probably forwarded
to New York, and no reply need prob
ably be expected for some days, as was
the case before.
Indications about the P. c. & w.
Office point to a railroad. Contractors
and supply men are there every day
figuring for work or furnishing ma
terial. The Ferguson Constructing
Co., which we understand is one of the
big railroad contracting firms of the
country, has had its engineer spend
great deal of time in examining the
route and plans and seems to be sat
isfied that there is business ahead. or
course as to what the promoters
plans are or whether some other road
is back of the project, there can only
be conjecture. l ann fully satisfied that
the people who are and have been
here are competent to build and carry
a road through-that is. are thorough
railroad men,"

Because Jeanette Burvinkle Has
Slipped From Their Clutches.
The Marion county officials are in
an unenviable frame of mind over their
failure to secure Jeanette Burwinkle,
and take her back to Fairmont to ans
wer to charge of larceny. The girl
was required by Justice Fitzpatrick to
furnish bond in the sum of 500 for
her good behavior for the period of
one year, and after being committed
to Jail she secured bond and was re-
leased from custody. Her present
whereabouts are unknown, but it is
understood that she has left the city
and State.
The Fairmont officials are sore over
their failure to secure the girl, and
broadly intimate that the end is not
yet. Among the things which are
threatened is the indictment of Ohio
county officials for the part they play
ed in preventing the girl from being
taken back to Marion county.
