There is ground for the belief that an
important extension of the Toledo, St.
Louis & Western system. the Glover
Leaf. is under considera ton. The syn
dictate of bankers which controls the
Glover Leaf and the Ohio Southern lines
is said to have secured an option on the
Lima Northern. which is in the hands
of q receiver President Morton of the
Glover Leaf is named as the president
of the consolidated lines.
1t is to be the purpose of the syndi-
cate to establish a system providing
short line from Detroit to st. Louis.
This will also give an entrance for the
Canadian Pacific into the heart of the
Central Freight association territory
with admirable connections at st. Louis
for the southwest.
Some Of the western railroad men are
much exercised over the prospect of the
Canadian Pacific gaining an entrance
into Central Freight territory. The Ca
madam road is regarded as a free lance
in freight rate matters, nd there is a
widespread belief that if the plans Sug
gested should be carried out the rate
situation in the Ohio territory would
be radically changed.

A threat of the Chicago, Rock Island
ana Pacific railroad to tie uo the main
line of the Chicago Great Western on ac-
count of a d.sputed bill of 81 900 has re-
suited in the issuance by Judge Gates of
Kansas City of an order restraining the
Rock Island from Interfering With the
Great Western before a hearing of the
matter in his court on Jan. S.
Three miles Of track Between Beverly
and Sitting. in Platte county, Kansas,
are the cause of the present trouble be-
tween the two railroad companies. This
stretch of track was built by the Rol k
Island company, but in 1899 it leased to
the Great Western the right to use the
rack for S1o0 a month and i proportional
share of the Wheelage repairs.
Part of the track has been overlooked
by water several times since the lease
WAS made, and portions of the track
Mere washed away, and had to be re-
placed. The Rock Island claims that tho
Great Westerns share of the expense of
making these repairs is $21 900. The
Great Western refused TO pay the claim
on the ground that under the contraCt
made With the Rock Island that COM
pany was bound to raise the track where
they We're subject to overflow. and that
if the tracks had been so raised there
would have been no expense for replac-
ing sections washed out.
When the Great Western signfied its
unWillin2ness ITO pay the bill of $21 900
the Rock Island served formal notice on
it not to use any of the track in dispute
after Dec. 80. Thereupon THE Great
Western asked the protection of the
courts to prevent the tying UP of it's
main line, and the temporary restraining
order asked for was promptly granted.

lwTHE FAIRMoNT REGION.
Steel Strike has not Hurt the Coai
Trade-New Somerset Company.

The shipments Of coal and coke
from the Fairmont region for the last
two weeks has been dull, as compared
with former reports. The short car
supply appears to be the cause Of this
cessation of business. The supply for
all points has averaged but $40 cars
day for the last ten days, which Is
short an average Of about 200 cars a
day. The Amalgamated strike is not
having any effect upon The business,
as the demand grows stronger, II any
thing, than before the strike was in
augurated. The total number OF
pounds billed for the ten days ending
Wednesday August 2lst. was 224,
1871, 734 the bills of freight on same
amounting to $40, 10. There seems
to be but one excuse, that of shortage
in the car supply.
John A. Clark of Fajrmont, recent
ly owner or the Chiefton. Anderson
and other mines in that region which
he sold to the Fairmont Coal Com
pany the Fairmont Free Press says has
purchased two coal properties IN Som
set county, Pa, and is now in charge
of the same. The coal includes two
veins, both working, and containing
about 2n0 acres " the surface tract.
The present capacity is about 500
tons day though this is likely to be
increased.
The properties were that Of the
Somerset Coal Company and the
Stony Creek Coal Company located
near Hoversville, about II miles from
Johnstown on the Somerset Il Cam
bria branch of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad. The principal offices Of the
company will be located at Fairmoat
with G. d. Junkins in charge.
