beaten path. This road will place
Wheeling on the short line between the
coke fields and the lakes. This road
will place Wheeling dfty-six miles
from her coke; Pittsburgh is eighty-iiva
miles from Connellsville, and the cheap
transporta ton via the Uniontown road
Will give this city q new lease OF life
