A good many inquiries are being
received from the national guards
men of West Virginia as to how soon
the secretary of war will act under
the bill recently approved providing
for the reorganization OF the nation
al guard.
1t is announced at the department
that the distribution of caliber 80
magazine arms will be made as soon
as it is determined how many each
state is entitled to under the law.
The arms and equipment will be
sent in advance of the turning in of
the old, but the old caliber As am
munition must be turned in before
the issue of new ammunition and an
inventory taken to ascertain how
much the states will be entitled to
in exchange.
The states however, will not be
deprived of ammunition entirely, as
the change of ammunition will be
made gradually.
1t is expected that the arms,
equipments and ammunition to
which West Virginia is entitled will
be determined at an early date.

will Hold . Celebration when the
First Spadeful Of Earth is Thrown
up-Plans for the Line Are Now
Practically CompIeted-Inspectio
BY Ramsey.
Greene County Pa. people are tax
ing the greatest interest in the
coming of the Wabash, and it is
even proposed by the Waynesbure
papers that a celebration be held
when the first spadeful of earth is
thrown up. The Waynesburg indie
pendent says:
Work Is moving slowly ON the
Greene county railroad or Wabash.
Uhe engineers are expected to com
plete their work from the river aud
on the ''Y'' to this place today. The
work is very accurate and complete
and every detail is made so that bid
ders can know just what is to be
done. The profiles show where tn
cuts and fills are to be made, the
magnitude Of each, where the dirt
from the cuts is to be placed and
how far hauled; abe sort of culvert,
whether of stone, iron or brick, and
how large. Thus the work is put
down to the very smallest detail
The work is expected TO be complet-
ed to Waynesburg by the engineers
and iraftmen, and inspected by
President Ramsey, who is in Pitts
burg. While this road is to be built
by independent parties, yet all de-
tails are submitted to Wabash Off.
Gals, as the road will be operated in
conjunction with that great system,
and doubtless become part of it ip
the future 1t is confidently expect
ed that the bidders will be here next
week, and the contracts for building
the road from here IT, the river let
at a very early date. The statement
has been made that in the next few
weeks the work of construction will
be going on when the work is COM
menced in Greene county it should
be made notable dav, and attended
with rejoicing and ceremony.
