LINE
Connecting Canton and East
Liverpool viii Soon be Un.
der Actual Constructions,
Say Promoters.

Interest in the cross-country road,
between Canton and East Liverpool
is again revived and the promoters
say that work will soon be started
and the road completed at an early
date, says the East Liverpool Tribune.
During the past two weeks many of
the options have been closed up.
Some of them are for the right Of
way only, while others call for the
purchase of coal underlying the land
adjacent to the road, and some even
call for the purchase Of the entire
farm. These options have principally
all been taken within the past two
years, and while few Of them wero
closed the majority of them were sim
ply renewed as they expired.
COL. FREASE ON THE GROUND.
Col. Harry Frnase, of Canton, who
is one of the. principal promoters Of
the new road has been in the city
recently for the purpose of closing the
options, SO that work on this end Of
the line could be started. The farm
of Mr.. Hargreaves, which Is located
between the Ohioville bridge and Is
land run, is among those secured by
Mr.. Frease and through which the
right of way for the road was sur
veyed some time ago.
1t is thought that the present move
ments of the Pennsylvania in pur-
chasing so much additional property
along it's line is the incentive for the
new road beginning work so soon.
THE SURVEYING CORPS.
The many mysterious missions of
the different land surveying corps has
aroused considerable interest among
the land owners along the proposed
routes. Their actions were myster
ious for the reason that the members
Of each corps refused to divulge the
names Of their employers, or state
for what purpose the surveys wero
being made Now, that the old Can
ton & East Liverpool Railway COM
pany's options are being closed, a
great deal of speculation will be end
ed.
DEALS FOR THE B. & o.
OF course the deals that are now
being closed are the b. & o. rail-
road, as 1t will be remembered that all

was turned over to them some time
ago. Mr.. Frease will return to this
city the latter part of the week, when
the work of purchasing the land now
under option will be continued along
the entire route.

WILL REQUIRE AMENDMENT.
Not Likely That This Government
Can Accept Conditions Outlined
by Colombian Insurgents,

Washington, Feb. 1O.-The letter
submitted by Gen. Horrera, command
ing the Colombian insurgents, to the
foreign consuls at Colon Friday for
submission to their governments has
not yet reached the state department..
From the press accounts of it's scope
1t is perceived here that the conditions
sought to be imposed are likely to be
unacceptable without considerable
amendment. If there is to be neu-
trail zone across the isthmus on the
line of the Panama railway, which is
probably unobiectionable, it is prob
able that it will be required that the
zone include the two terminals, Colon
and Panama, and consequently these
points should not be exposed to hos
tile attack or be made the scene of
warfare. Being also under treaty OBJ
legations to protect the line of COM
munication across the isthmus and
maintain free traffic, it is improba BILE
that the United States government
will feel obliged to accept the assist
ance of any other nation in carrying
out that undertaking.

building safely when the absence of
Davis, prominent member of the
working force, was noticed. McKeon,
spectator, remembered in what part

and, against the advice of his friends,
made futile effort to rescue the work
man. McKeon ran into the building
through the smoke and flames, but in q

fort cost him his life, as he died from
the effects of inhaling smoke.

WORDS OF cENsuRE.
The New York Central oompAny
Scored in Connection with the
Recent Tunnel Disaster,

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 1O.-The state
board of railroad commissioners on
Friday handed down it's decision re-
garding the recent disaster in the New
York Central railroad tunnel in New
York city. The decision censures the
company for allowing an inexperi-
enced engineer to run train through
the tunnel and recommends that at
some time in the future the roof be
taken off the tunnel, using bridges at
intersecting streets. However, in this
connection it says that such change
would be intolerable unless electricity
is substituted as the motive power for
trains and recommends legislation to
allow such change.
The commission finds that the COM
pany "has been negligent, derelict and
unprogressive in failing to take meas
ures, to increase it's terminal facili-
ties" and that it has also been neeli-
gent in failing to examine more
closely into the qualifications of new
engineers"
The commission points to the inter-
osuihS laSo eHd9 III ISol tnere were
177,450 trains moved through the tun-
mel, an average of over 1856 per day.
Therefore, the commission says, the
B. q o. tunnel at Baltimore and the
Liverpool tunnel under the river Mer-
sey bear no comparison to the New
York Central tunnel in respect to
traffic.
