Important Railroad Deal.

One OF the most M p0rtant deals
which has occurred since the poll
cy OF "centrnlizationn was put into
effect by the moneyed Interests OF
the country occurred Thursday,
when the Charleston, Clendenning
and Southern Road passed into the
hands of the Wabash Railroad
Company. SO secret had the mat
ter OF tho proposed transfer been
kept that scarcely any person,
aside from those who had to sign
the documents, was aware OF the
fact that the transfer was 10 be
made. 1t was made, however, in
the office of Chiffon, McCorkle &
Chiffon, the well-known attorneys
OF Charleston. 1t is understood
that the negotiations for the sale
were conducted by Governor Nc
Corkle, in whose office the formal
transfer took place.
The road purchased by the Wa
bash Company is one of the impor-
tant coal roads OF the country, aud
while it is not long road 1t Is re.
garded as a great producer" II
has been for years feeder for the
Kanawha and Michigan, and now
that 1t has passed into the hands
OF the Wabash system the pros
poets for war with the X. and NJ i.
are very good. 1t is generally un.
derstood that for some time the
Wabash people have been looking
for an opportunity to get into the
territory covered By the Charles
ton, Clendenning and Southern,
and that it was with an idea of
stopping the iD-roads made on
their traffic by the Kanawha and
Michigan. The transfer is to taku
effect Immediately.
Following upon the heels Of the
news of the transfer OF the c. c..
and ). TO the Wabash system came
the startling news to a few of the
men who are on the inside that to-
day the Columbus, Hooking Valley
and Toledo will change hands, and
that the latter road Will be merged
with the G. and o. or course this
means that the Pennsylvania peo-
pie have secured control of the
Hooking Valley route. 1t is one
OF the greatest coal roads in the
country, and is to be utilized to haul
the coal from the mines OF West
Virginia, through which region
the G. and o. runs, to the lake re.
gions. At present the c. and 0,
has no outlet into that region, aud
it was for that reason the purchase
OF the Hooking valley was neces,
sary.
The plans for bridge at Call.
polls have already been made. and
the coal brought oyer the c. and O.
from the mines will be sent over
the bridge to to the Hooking Val,
ley and delivered by shat road t.
the lake regions. A simple state
ment OF the matter concerning the
sale Of the Hooking Valley route
would be that the Pennsylvania
Epeople have determined that they
must have a larger market for tn,
coal mined along the c. and O
than they have at present, and TO
this reason have concluded tina
the purchase Of the Hooking Val
ley was necessary. 1t was givel
out upon the very best of authorlt,
last night that the transfer Of tn
Hooking Valley Road to the c. ant
o. will occur to-day.

The marriage last evening at 6
