THE TERMINAL SALE
CORNING THE PURCHASERS OF
THE PROPERTY.
W. & L. E. WILL BE A BIDDER,
And the appointment of Mr.. Taus-
sig Is Believed in Some Circles to
Indicate Determination of the
Company to Secure the Property
All Local Roads VIII Doubtless
Bid.

A great deal has been written. and
a great deal more said about the COM
ing sale of the Wheeling Driage and
Terminal railway property, under an
order of the Court. All OF this has
been based largely upon speculation,
and as matter of fact muse De, mas
much as it is not likely that officials
of any road will divulge their plans
concerning such an important sale.
The opinion is prevalent that all the
roads entering Wheeling, with the pos
sible exception of the Ohio River, will
bid for the property.
II the bids depend in amount upon
the value of the property to the
bidder, it appears that the road
will go for pretty high price if the
Wheeling and Lake Erie does not Sc
cure possession of it. The value OF
the road to the w. & L. E. is apparent
to any person who will study a rail-
road map OF this section. A few days
ago the Register announced the ap-
polntment of Mr.. j. E. Tau5sig as
slstant manager OF the w. & L. E.
Mr.. Taussig has been the superintend-
ent of the Terminal. These two facts
are regarded by some railroad people
as significant. They infer that the
w. & l.. E. will make a high Did for
the property, and will find Nh Taus-
sig's services very valuable because
OF his familiarity with the Terminal,
its history, and its operation.
The w. & l.. E. is understood to
hold big block Of second mortgage
bonds OF the Terminal, and the B. q 0.
is said to control a block of first mort
gage bonds. That the B. & o. will
be bidder for the property is gencr-
ally believed, although it can hardly
be considered as valuable a property
to the b. & o. as to the w. q l.. e.
or c., l.. & w. 1t will be recalled that
upon the occasion of a recent visit
a party of B. & o. officials took trip
to the summit of Chapline hill, a point
which gave them an excellent view of
the Terminal tracks in Wheeling.
If the B. & 0. secures possession of
the Terminal, it would be possible for
that company to remove its tracks
from Sixteenth street. but it is not
likely that this would be done without
some equally valuable grant from the
city. The use of the Chapllne hill
tunnel would simplify problem
which Councilmen and Others have
tried for many years to solve for the
B. q 0. company. 1t would not neces-
sarily carry with it the abandonment
of the freight depot at its present loca-
ton, as the present tracks could still
be used for that purpose.

SISTERSVILLE, w. Va, May 2-This
morning the remains of VIM. Stewart, Of
Stewards Landing, about TWO miles above

ease Were taken to Martins Ferry, where
interment was made this afternoon. Two
daughters and four sons survive-C. w.
and DIR. w. f. Stewart-are influential oil
men and associated in large producing
interests in Ohio. The deceased was also
identified with the parties mentioned. The
farm on which the elder Stewart lived
was the most prolific in the SistersVille
field, and made a big fortune both Tor the
owner and the Henry Oil Co, which de-
veloped it. The first well in the Sisters
willie oil field on the Ohio side, was COM
pleted ON the Stewart farm in April 1892
shortly after the completion of the fam
Gus Pole Cat well in this county. This
successful venture was made by the
Brown Oil Co. which sold out later TO the
Henry Oil Co. for $4,000 and this munln-
cent sum was earned by the purchaser
from the product of the farm within ff-
teen months after the deal was consum-
mated, in addition to iquidating all ex-
penses of continuous development during
that period. At one time the total pro-
duetion of this farm of 5S5 acres was LS0O
barrels day. Fifty-four wells were
drilled. All were producers of about the
