A WORD FOR DOUBTERS.
j. ". Emerson Says There is Nothing
More sure Than the Coming OF the
Wabush

w hbhoh
]. w. Emerson, travling agent
for the Wabash Railroad Company,
with headquarters at Chicago, was in
the city today on bulsneSS for his road,
road, says Fairmont Times, While here
he discussed with several citizens
the probability of the Buckhannon
and Northern road being built. He
had heard here, he said, great deal
of doubling among business people as
to the actual intention of the Goulds
to build the road. This doubling,
he said, was the most natural thing
in the world, but it amounts to less
than nothing, he says.
Mr.. Emerson explained the neces-
sity of the Buckhannon and Northern
to the Wabash. Said he:
1.-THE Wabash hauls everything
America produces but coal-and it
pays better to haul coal than most
any other product. The Gould lines
need coal of their own and they need
it to pull. They have been handi-
capped at all times by the small
amount of coal routed over their
lines, but when their immense fields
in West Virginia are opened up you
will see coal hauled right out of this
state and delivered at the thousands
of places along sixteen thousand
miles of track 1t puts the Gould
lines right in front to stay.
'The Gould lines now haul great
deal Of grain, packed meats and
cattle, in fact they haul everything
that grows or is made or dug in
America between Buffalo, n, Y, and
Great Salt Lake, except coal. When
they get access to the coal fields Of
West Virginia you will see them get
busy at a rate never attempted and
you'll see their stock go up
Mr. Emerson was surprised at the
number of FairmonterS who have not
the least faith in the coming of the
Wabash. He said it was matter of
self preservation with the Goulds to
get in here. He is here on an esti-
mating trip-seeing what will be the
passenger requirements of this section
OF the road, but about his own errani
he declined to talk

Drowned at Put-in-Bay.

Toledo, Aug. 3.-Jerome Grosh, a
member of the wholesale millinery
firm of ]. v Clemen C Co., of this
city was drowned at Put+in-Bay as the
result of the capsizing of a sailboat
occupied by himself and Miss Alice
Sturgis, of this city. Just before as.
sistance reached them Grosh was
seized with cramps and sank. Miss
Sturgis was rescued. Both were good
swimmers and moment before he
sank Mr. Grosh joked Miss Sturgis
about their predicament They were
engaged to be married

Mr.. James G. Wallace is now out

This young horse had made some

The other three racers owned by
Mr. Wallace were recently sold TO a

be put on the turf by the purchaser
another he will use as his family

Fair associations and race tracks

If the electric Traction Company
