TWO CENTS
MORE RAILROAD
Another new Line Projected in
Greene County.

viii run From ConnellsyiIle to Whee1-
ing-Big Party of Surveyors have
begun Preliminary work Something
of Plans OF the Road Back Of Them.
Ii Greene county doesn't have rail-
road before mauy moons, an unheaF1
OF lot OF useless and hlufflng surveying
will leave the people over their anger
and the tortures of the narrow ssgouge. y
More lines have been surveyed than
In any other county on the continent
for its size.
Since the Wabash seems sssured
the P. r. and the b. g. o. want 10
get In. The latest rumor is the re-
ported scheme of the B. 81 O. TO con-
struet road from Wheeling TO the
Fayette county coke region by way Of
the Greene county capital, aud they
have authorized survey of the route.
In pursuance OF this order issued
from headquarters corps of Is en-
gineers sent out by the Baltimore and
Ohio company were Ia Washington
today, says the Observer enroute 10
Waynsburg where the work of running
a line through the territory mentioned
will be started at once. The corps
was in charge OF sub-chief, the chief
engineer having gone to Waynesbnrg
Tuesday TO make preliminary arrange
ments for the commencement or the
work. Work will be started today on
the survey and 1t will be pushed to-
ward Wheeling as rapidly as possible.
The proposed route between Wheel
ing and the coke region will mean
much to Wheeling, Waynesburg and
the coke manufacturers. For years
Wheeling has been clamoring for a
short line through to the coke region
as the route at present trayersed to
secure the necessary coke for use ia
the Nail City and the west Is a long
round about one and the transporta-
tion expense is resultantly high. The
coke transported through TO the west
is hauled by way Of Glenwood over
the B. & o. road distance OF lis
miles. 1t is hoped by building
short cut to secure a shorter and
much cheaper route. The proposed
line it is believed will shorten the
present route SO miles.
The Baltimore and Ohio company
at present has completed lines radiat-
ing from UniontowD to near the Mon
ongahela river at Masontown through
the heart OF the coke region at a point
almost opposite Waynesburg. BY
bridging the Monongahela near Ma
sontown and running line to Way
nesourg and from there to Wheeling
route 65 miles long from the Mon
ongahela river to Wheeling will be
secured.
This route will also give Waynes-
burg an outlet both east and west and
will open Greene county's vast coal
fields. The plan OF the Baltimore and
Ohio company is believed to have been
matured as result of the contempIa-
ted entrance of the Wabash into
Greene county. Waynesburg may se-
cure both roads. The survey of the
proposed line 1t is said, will be pushed
forward rapidly and as soon as the
portion from Waynesburg to Wheel
ing is surveyed the line will be run
from the Greene county capital to the
Monongahela river.

their efforts to get the miners back
