A GREAT NEWSPAPER.
Progressive Publications In Exis-
tence.

Since the present proprietors as
sumed charge OF the PhLtsburg Gazette
transformation in The character OF
the paper has been effected. Ultra
conservatism had characterized the
Gazette for many years. Now its
chief Characteristic Is pr0gressiveness.
Much money is being spent To keep it
in the forefront OF the country's most
enterprising publications, and the
way the circulation has increased I'M
der the new management mast be
very gratifying 10 those directly in
te:est ted.
A record has already been made by
the Sunday Gazette. Although it is
the latest Sunday paper in this tield
the bona ilde circulation approximates
5000. The only explanation Of this
is found In the superior character OF
the exclusive features OF the Sunday
Gazette. The management logically
reasoned that the public could be per-
suaded TO buy the new paper In pref
erence to all others only by offerin-
something better than the other Sun
day papers contained. So they reso-
lutely set about obtaining high priced
talent wherever 1t was available, till
now the Sunday Gazette's staff Is the
talk of newspaper people everywhere.
Both writer's and artists Of high re-
pute are contributing to- the pages OF
this interesting publication every
week
The engagement Of Josiah FlYnt to
investigate the ssUnder World" was
characteristic stroke on the part OF
the Gazette. Mr.. Flynt's series Of az
ticles on the CONCEAL Protection OF
Vice in Pittsburg and Allegheny has
proved the greatestest newspaper SEN
sation of years. The series appeared
exclusively in the Sunday Gazette.

WEST VA. CENTRAL
Said to Have Been Sold to
Pennsylvania.

Seventeen Millions Purchase Price
Senator Elkins has Given the State a
Black eye-Little kanawha is Going
ahead in Spite Of the Sale with its
Trunk Line.
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, January 7.
News was received here IN a spe-
cial telegram from New York Mon
day stating that the West Virginia
Central and Pittsburg railroad,
owned by Senator ElkiLs and asso-
ciates, had been sold to the Penn
sylyania r r. Co. for seventeen
million millions. The news has not
been confirmed, but it is believed
here to be true, as Senator Elkins
and President Cassatt OF the Penn
sylyania railroad have been in the
closest consultation for many weeks
and it is believed that the deal is
about ready to be officially announc-
ed. While the announcement comes
rather suddenly it is not surprise
to those who have been watching the
trend of events.
Six months ago it is said the OWN
ers of the West Virginia Central gave
an option on their road for ten mil
lion dollars which was not accepted
Since then the talk of a through line
through West Virginia in which the
Wabash and the West Virginia Cen
trail were to be jointly interested has
increased the Importance to the Penn
sylvania company of having the West
Virginia Central, and the price was
accordingly increased seven millions
1t is believed here that the talk Of the
West Virginia Central being about to
unite with the Wabash in the con-
struction of through line was simply
for the purpose of making a market
for the West Virginia Central, and
soaring the Pennsylvania into par-
chasing it at the price fixed by the
owners.
Taking it for granted that the re-
ported sale Of the road is true, there
has been much adverse criticism Of
Senator Elkins who holding a position
of trust and honor at the hands of the
State, so far forgets or ignores the
States best interests as to place it at
the mercy of the soft coal trust which
now owns practically every railroad in
the State.
President Blair of the Little Ka-
nawha railroad, states that the sale
of the West VIRGINIA Cantral will in
no wise affect the extension of his
road. He says there was no arrange
ment between that road and the
West Virginia Central for connecting
their two lines, and that the extern
sion OF the Little Kanawha railroad
to the Braxton county coal fields and
the construction Of the GAINESVILLE,
Marietta & Parkersburg road will be
pushed as rapidly as possible after the
surveys now being made are COM
pleted.
