were accepted and he was directed to
draw the detail plans for it. This
barn is to occupy site near the pow
er plant and on the plat of land ad-
joining it.
One of the members Of the company
this morning laughingly remarked
that some people 10 Morgantown now
had become convinced that the COM

until the cars run. This will be a
matter of very few months.

Investments in and Near Morgan

United States Senator Stephen r.
Elkins. OF West Virginia, is rapidly
taking a place among the multlmil-
lionaires OF the country. Persons
close to him and In authority to speak
say that be cleaned up between ST.
600, 900 and IS, 900. 90 the past year,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. He
would have made still more had IL
not been for the Baltimore s. Ohio
railroad, which line, the main outlet
of his vast West Virginia interests,
refused to furnish the cars. Senator
Elkins was the foremost figure In the
sale Of the West Virginia Central to
the Wabash for about SIS, 900, 900
Senator Elkins practically controlled
the road.
For some months he has been In
yesting In territory in all sections OF
West Virginia, and his holdings are
more extensive than the whole West
Virginia Central territory. There is
hardly county In the state in which
he has not made Investments. He
has been directing his attentions es-
pecially to Wheeling, Parkersburg
and Morgantown. He is interested in
nearly every new line In West Vir-
ginia. A few months ago he started
the Security Trust Company at Wheel
ing, now about ready for business.
He also has extensive interests In the
Wheeling Traction Company and the
West Virginia Bridge Il Construction
Company at Morgantown. His in
vestments presage the most extensive
developments.
He recently bought the Morgan
town Kingwood railroad for 1886, 900,
and be is now projecting other roads
to be built out of his own purse to
reach his extensive coal tracts. His
coal and coke holdings and bank
and water works interests at
Morgantown alone aggregate %, 000,-
900. His interests at Parkersburg lie
largely in Wabash railroad connec-
tions.
Senator Elkins' sons are helping him
manage his big interests. His mining
interests in the west are worth many
millions.
Elkins Is now credited with fortune
OF $50, 900, 900.
