tails of the new Elkins trunk line6
as given in the Intelligencer, are
as follows:
The Intelligenoer is informed
on authority that cannot be- dis
puted that West Virginia will
within short time have another
trunk line of railway, and one that
will be independent of the Penn
syIvania domination that perme-
ates tho Baltimore & Ohio, Chesa-
peake & Ohio and Norfolk e West
ern roads. This is nothing more
or less than the extension both
eastward and westward of the DA-
Wis Elkins system, now known as
the West Virginia Central g Pitts
burg. osA
"At present the mainline of this
road runs from Cumberland, Md,
to Belington, w. Va, distanoeo of
131 miles. tapping one of the best
soft coal fields in the State. In
addition there are branchRst TO Da-
Wis and Huttoneville

and Writ counties, to Palestine.
the terminus of the Little Kama.
wha Railroad. The latter road is
all but purchased by the We,t Vir-
ginia Central Company, and the
formal closing of this end of the
deal is to OCCUR very soon. The
Little Kanawha road runs down
the Little Kanawha river to Park
ersburg, on the Ohio river. From
the Ohio river it is programmed
to reach the lakes and the west via
the Zanesville & Ohio River and
the Wheeling 81 Lake Erie roads,
the q, & o. being owned by the
last named company, which in
turn is dominated by the Wabash.
Thus it will be seen thatthe build
ing of the connecting link between
the West Virginia Central and the
Little Kanawha roads will give
West Virginia new and indie
pendent trunk line from Cumber-
land to the lakes and far west
Although no official statement of
the plans Of The Davis. Eikins Gym
dictate can be secured, it is under
stood that the extension of the
West Virginia Central eastward
from Cumberland will be via the
Western Mary land railroad which
runs from Cumberland to the sea-
board at Baltimore r.
Thus the connecting up Of all
these lines and their management
in sympathy, if not iander one
head, will give another trunk line
from Baltimore to the lakes and far
west aa
The work of bringing about this
vast railroad deal has been kept
very quiet, but that it will soon be
put through on practically the
lines given by the Intelligencer
can be set down as an assured fact,

sugar.Tarift.

We clip the following from the
Weekly Statistical sugar Trade
Journals;
1.-THE total consumption of sugar
in the United States last year was
2,219,S47 tons, and based on the
average consumption this year
should De 2,860,595 tons. OF THE
quantity 100000 tons in round
figures will come from American
sources, say Louisiana being able
to produce $4,000 tone, United
States beet factories 10000,
Hawaii, $4,000 and Porto Rico
10000, all being free of duty,
leaving 1,86O,685 tons to come
from other sources and on which
duty is paid. The average duty
assessed is $50 per ton, or total
of $84. 991, 900. The price of all
sugar consumed, however, being
enhanced to the extent of the duty
of S86 per ton or total of 1884,
981 ,060, it is evident that $780, OO,-
600 additional is paid by the peo'
Pile in order to provide the Gov
eminent with 40 millions for rev.
enue, of which the Government is
not in need. If the duty is taken
off Cuba sugar, the benefit of So
millions goes to the people.
"On October 9Th, the quotation
for Cuba Centrifugal Sugar 96 de-
gree test, free on board Cuba WAS
81. 90 per h.. duty on same amounts
to 81 685-equivalent to 86 per
