BY THE HEAT.
WELLSBURG, w. Va, August 10
Interesting rumors abound here as well
as at Wheeling and other nearby cities
about the big deals on in the Traction
car world. A number of interesting
stories can be heard from men who are
the keenest OF observers. These stories
, when sifted down to the most feasible
parts and connected together give us
something worth talking Of. There is
now almost completed a trolley line
from Stesfoenville to Brilliant The
cars for this line are now at Steuben-
vile and Wellsburgers who have been
at that city since their arrival and seen
them, say they have Steubenville, Min
goand Wellsburg, on them. Now on
on this side of the river the contract
has been let for the construction of a
line between here and Wheeling, and
work is now underway, and cars are
expected to be running within nine
months. The entrance of this line to
our city is peculiar one, as it will
cross the Bethany pike, at the southern
part of town by high tressei, then will
cross the old coal shaft property to
hill in the eastern part of town, and is
well elevated. Many suppose by the
road entering the city by this street
they have the idea in view of crossing
the river here by bridge. Taking all
things into consideration it looks as
though we were destined to have troll
ley connections with all the cities in the
North Ohio valley. The Register has
i.In Nf lot
telling of the many projects now on
foot among the trolley car magnates,
which are interesting to the people of
our city.

Prof A. {. Loggie has leased the
city hall and will have it fixed in first
class style for a dancing hail this COM
ing year. Prof. Loggie will conduct a
dancing academy. His attention for
the past five year has been toward
dancing, and last year he graduated
from the Washington Dancing Acade-
my. The first ball of the season was
given last evening and was surprising
success. This is but forerunner of
what Mr.. Loggie promises the dancing
public in the future. He will also have
classes at Mingo and Steubenville. 1t
is understood that the Opera House
orchestra will furnish the music for the
new dancing academy.
