proved the undertakings OF the Belgian

delighted that their places have
been filled with gentlemen who In

This Is the exactiug of proper Il

to the city through voluntary or
Involuntary tavoritism of moneyed

do. We need this money now and
1t should be collected along with

The work of grading for the
Electric Railroad from this city to
New Martinsville, began in earnest
yesterday. Over fifty men and
teams were at work, and quite a
big lot of earth was moved. The
track will follow Wells street clear
up to the bridge across Forsyth's
Run. This bridge will be raised
eight feet and a new iron bridge
substituted for the present wooden
bridge across the stream. This
bridge will be raised so as to put it
out of high water mark, and also
to make the grade going up hill on
each side. less steep to climb and
come down. The street from the
planning mill to Forsyth's Run is
being widened out, to make room
for the railroad tracks and for a
wagon way on each side of it. The
track from the Run up to about a
1000 yards, will follow the old
county road, and then it goes up on
the hillside considerable distance
above the tracks of the Ohio River
Railroad. About 200 yards of the
road-bed was graded yesterday.
The company is paying for common
labor on the grade $3.50 per day,
and for man and team $3.50 per
day, which is considered very salts
factory wages. So far the company
is only employing Americans on
the work, and any man who will
work can get job on the grade at
