BRIDGE QUESTION SET TIED

Engineer Carothers and Assistant
General Manager Haas walked down
and took a look at the F.. NJ. and P.
bridge AS has been published here
tofore, this bridge must be moved or
raised by August /, 1905. Although
Chief Carothers would give out moth
ing definite. it is understood from his
conversation that the company con-
siders it out of the question to raise
the bridge. BY searching the records
we find that the rights-of-way from
Catawba have been decided to the
company and there is where the new
bridge will be built. 1t may also be
considered a settled fact that the Pal
atine branch will be built. Most of
the rights-of-way have been decided
to the company for this line. The new
bridge will be built in the required
time and the Monongahela will be
open to all boats.
Chief Engineer Carothers left in his
special car on No for C1arksburg
last night. From there he went to
Baltimore and will return to this city
Tuesday.

BETTER RAILROAD ACCOMMODATIONS

| Travelling men are among the worst
kickers about this, because, knowing
the undoubted superiority of Fairmont
hotels, they are DESTROYS of making
this city at night, If they can come
on a convenient train and leave at a
convenient hour in the morning,
| which they would be able to do, fol-
lowing that route, If that train re-
manned over. and was made up here
in the morning.
Still another alteration that would
cause great rejoicing among patrons
and in the end crafty all interests, is
to change the terminal of the BelinS-
ton-Elkins train from Grafton to this
city, and have the train leave here at
900 A. NJ, allowing it to leave Graf
ton at $50 as usual, and return here
in the evening. We honestly believe
that this would be of mutual advan-
tage and one of which the patrons
would not be slow in showing their
appreciation. AS it now is we suffer
Inconvenience in comparison with
ucighborng cities, and many com
plants are made concerning the in
opportune time of arrival and depart
ure of the trains.
The tonnage given the railroad
from this point is so great that We
feel entitled to make the requests that
the above mentioned schedule be ar
ranged more to our liking and we feel
sure that the returns viii be crafty
ing to all parties. The Federal Coal
Company and others in the neignbor-
hood of Gray's Flat, are willing to
give a guarantee for the success of
pa senser service on the Pawpaw eX-
tension.
We are simply voicing the senti-
ments of the entire city and of the |
public when we request that
be given this statement
md we assure the Baltimore and Ohio
people that if they need any sucn as
;urance, that the financial returns
will compensate them for every eff
ort to please in this manner
We would suggest that the Board OF
Trade take the matter in hand and
resent the above proposition in
UGH manner that it will be impossible

were entertained while in our city and
are glad that, the next reunion will
be held here. It was decided in the

there are members enough to effect

nearly four hundred here in attend
ance, large number were from other
towns and cities.
Though some pass away each year,
there will be reunions and meetings
for several years to come. And it is
our duty to do all in our power to
show them pleasant time while
they are yet with US. The time will
come when these reunions will only
be matters of history and the cold
marble will be left to mark the last
sleeping place of those who were will
ing to give their all that our country
might live, and to whose indefeasible
va1ors it owes its existence.
a great complaint has been raised
by those not in favor of pensionins
our soldiers that the money thus re-
ceived is spent SO often for liquor but
such people could have learned a les
son from the conduct of the soldiers
who assembled here. Not more than |
four or five of the four hundred were |
seen in a drunken condition.
The people of Fairmont Will be glad /
to welcome them back next year and
