DOUBLE TRACKING A RAILROAD

vicinity, the building of a trolley line
to Wheeling and the double tracking
of the P. W. & KY. railway, alone
means a whole lot to this town. Hardly
a day goes by that men of means are
not here sightseeing with the intention
of locating If the proper inducements
are shown. The buying of the Miller
place by a PittSburg capitalist will be
another large item, as nearly 500, 600
are to he expended on this place in i'm
provements. Several of the old out-of-
date business houses are now being re-
modelled and others are contemplated
in b near future. A new three-story
business block on the corner of Eighth
and Main street, and quite a number of
new residences will be commenced as
soon as the weather will permit. The
condition of Wellsburg is good and the
prospect for better are excellent, but if
the people would get a nov on and or
ganize a board of trade, as Wheeling
and several other nearby cities have
done, the old town would take on a
boom, as it should do.
An interest toward base ball seems
to be very dormant here at the present,
though it should be much to the con-
trary. Last year when the ball season
opened and the ball fever was attack
ing the country Wellsburg caught the
epidemic like the grippe, and in a short
while enough funds were raised to get
good grounds and all the necessary
equipments for the club. This trouble
and expense is done away with this
year, as the grounds are still under
lease and the equipments of the club
are in fair condition. What is now
lacking is the manager. Many would
like to see the old manager take hold
again but he refuses to accept. AS
new managers c. G.. buchanan and
Walter Russell are spoken of, but nef-
Their have accepted as yet. Either of
these gentlemen would be good parties
for the position, and it is hoped n or
the other will decide to take the club
and keep it to it's former standing. The
first gentleman mentioned is a drug
gist and very much of a base ball en-
thusiast, having already trimmed his
show window in very appropriate style.
One half of the window is dressed with
base ball paraphernaHa and the por-
traits of the last years manager and
players, the other half of the window
is trimmed with patent medicine ap-
propriate for spring, such as Hoods
Sarsaparilla and the like, which
makes a happy combination. Most
likely this is one of "Punk's' original
jokes.
Those parties who were %agitating an
Independent ticket at the coming cleo
ton in the city have decided to drop
the hammer, and no candidates will be
run except the regular Democratic and
Republican nominees. There is CON
siderable dissatisfaction over some of
the nominations which will tell at the
election on April 8.
The following election commission
ers and clerks have been appointed by
the city council to hold the coming
