vice on the Toledo division is to be Sc
cured by the extending Of the runs Of
trains Nos. 2 and to Massillon, where

w. & L. E. TO BE A FACTOR.
The Wheeling & Lake Erie railway is
expected to become a strong factor in
the fight that will soon be opened for
possession Of the Wheeling Bridge &
Terminal company's property at Wheel
ing which is the only connecting link
above Cincinnati between the roads
from the east and those to the lakes.
Under an order of the United States
court, handed down in this state-the
road Is said to be sold under mort
gage held by the Washington Trust
company, of New York, whose claim is
in excess of s2,oOo,OOO. The road cost
about $5,OOooOO, apd for several years
has been the line which the Wheeling
& Lake Erie and the Cleveland, Lorain
& Wheeling got into Wheeling. The
Wheeling & Lake Erie is supposed to
have about $1,O00,0O0 invested in the
| Wheeling Bridge & Terminal railway,
and In view of the fact that the Bal
timore G. Ohio will be q strong compet-
itor for the terminal, pretty fight Is
anticipated. '@ry Ey,,a il.ttli
In local railway circles 1t is thought
the Wheeling G. Lake Erie will make
big bid for the road. Should 1t secure
the property its position in the Wheel
ing manufacturing district will be far
| above that of any other carrier, and will
| be assured for all time. Through the
Terminal the w. & l.. e. may reach all
of the big mills. and make connections
promptly with the roads to the east
| and to the south.
