THE WHEELING TERMINALS.
PLANS FOR CARRYING OUT A GREAT ENTER

Wheeling, w. Va. Aug. 10 (SpeciaD,-When the
Wheeling Bridge and Terminal Railway Company
built system of terminals and bridges over the
Ohio River. in 1887 of $1,000 OOO of which
the city of Wheeling furnished s50OOOO 1t was the
promise and intention that all the railroads en-
tering Wheeling should use a common passenger
station, and that freight should be delivered from
all roads alike to the various factories and mills
In the suburbs, which then reached only by
branches of one road. The plan was never carried
out The property went into the hands of re-
ceiver and ran along for years till last May when
the Pennsylvania Company bought 1t at a re,
ceivers sale for $S50O.O00. The property has been
reorganized as the Wheeling Terminal Company
with officers and directors selected from among
the officials OF the Pennsylvania Company The an
nouncement is now made that the original plans
OF the builders are to be carried out. The BaIti-
more and Ohio has applied for the use of the sys-

bility as the more recent scare in re-
spect Of the physical forces Of the G y

and electricity. So says a writer in the
London Live Stock Journal.
None OF these mechanical move
ments, nor all of them combined, have
yet taken the first step toward the de-
thronement Of the horse, and even IL
superior motors were now invented It
might require half a century to induce
"a British public, ever conservative in
habits, to adopt them in such everyday
life as would threaten the long stand

Ing, however, that years have now
elapsed since motors were freely tried

on the continent, 1t is plain that there

that machinery has had a small detri-

but It has not Influenced their values,
and no class OF horse ischeaper In 1900

SOME PRAIRIE ~BREEZES.l
RESUME.

'aMaxwelton's braes are bonnie!Y
Mist, mist and chilling rain,
The faint-fung notes of the old song,
Steal from the Redeemed plain,
The soldiers senses wandering far
See some sweet lassie through
The gate of death, nov half ajar,
Where early fa's the dew.
Far. far away the visions rise,
From some quaint olden town,
Some loving lassie's watching eyes,
Some tresses waving brown,
Between them rolls the ocean wide,
The waters beam so blue,
For he'll be home at Christmastide
To claim ther promise true"
The bugle blows; the two apart
The trumpet's mandate rends,
But close, so close, beats heart with
heart,
And when tie struggle ends
She prays that tod will safely bring
Him home, DER veldt and sea.
For God is good: of him she sings:
aAn' ne'er forgot shall bel"
All, God! Here in the night he lies
On greedy's Deaths red plain,
The shadows filming Ger his eyes.
Some spirit soothes the pain,
His senses wandering at will,
The darkness seems the dawn,
He sees her face--"'the fairest
That e'er the sun shone oni"
Sweet fancy pictures him the lass
Who would have been his bride.
The night grows full; the fancies pass
With LIES swift ebbing tide,
The stealing spirit flashes bright,
He whispers tremblingly:
and for bonnie Annie Laurie
| would lay me doom an dee!!"
The song is still; far, far away,
Al lassie's eyes are dim,
Long through the night and dreary
day
She waits and waits for him,
To him she gave her promise true,
That meier forgot shall be,
Her heart with him lies buried, too,
Where he lay doom to dee!'
Marvellous braes are bonnie
Where early fa's the dew,
All, God! The Annie Lauries,
Who agie'd a promise true."
Who ssgie'd a promise true,
That ne'er forgot shall bei'
And wait through years the soldier
lads
Who lay them "doon to dee!!"

Henry Clews financial review sum
marizes the situation as follows: in
matters affecting securities affairs are
not progressing Enthusiastically. The
weather has not been entirely favor
able to the crops, and the serious dam
age to spring wheat in some sections
is confirmed; but other sections are
having abundant crops, notably Kan
sas and southwestern states, so that
considering the better prices which.
farmers are receiving the season is
likely to prove a prosperous n for
the agricultural classes. Wheat is 8
to 4 cents higher than a year ago, and
corn toaS cents higher. Cotton is
selling immensely above the prices of
a year ago-an advance in that staple
OF nearly so per ent Such continued
prosperity for. the farmers assures an
other good season for general business
in those sections. Trade has been go-
ing through a period Of reaction frpm
the high prices and hustle OF 1891
still this reaction cannot continue
much longer. Already there are in
dications that values are touching bot
tom; that as soon as buyers aye con-
WINGED that manufacturers have made
all the concessions they ian afford a
new set Of orders will come in and, im-
part renewed activity to business.
There is every reason to look forward
to large and healthy trade next fall
and winter; the duration Of which will
probably be in proportion to the mod
Grafton Of buyers and the reasonable
ness Of sellers. Another period OF ex-
eessiyely high prices is not to be hoped
for, because it would surely invite a
far more vigorous reaction than the one
now passing"
