Senators Morgan and CulIom, there
were many short addresses and a

by the Democratic caucus and had

The demand for West Virginia coal
and lumber in the West and North

Ohio railroad making plans for hand
ling large business from that terri
tory. The Cleveland, Lorain and
Wheeling railroad running from Bel
laire TO Lorain, o., on Lake Erie. with
a Cleveland branch, has been purchas-
ed, and grades will be reduced so that
the present maximum trainload of L.
220 tons may be increased to $3.50
tons.
The lower end Of the line, between
Holloway and BellaIre, will be double
tracked and the grades reduced, at a
cost of $4,000 Contracts for
the most of this improvement have
been let, and work has commenced
North Of Holloway much has been
done during the past year, the Medina
cutoff, agrade reduction, haying been
completed, at cost of 5000, 600

with gradually descending grade to
the junction with the Cleveland, Lo-
rain and Wheeling. The new chan
mel spans of the Bellaire bridge have
been ordered and will be erected and
in use the latter part OF this year.
1t is also proposed to build a low
grade connection between the Wheel
sng division at Warrington and the
short line at Smithfield, using the
low-grade Ohio river division to Ben
wood, and getting away from the
heavy grades on the Wheeling division
between Warrington and Benwood.
