NO TROLLEY TO MOUNT MORRIS.
The Company Has Abandoned the
Plan-Encouraaenent Lacking.

MoRGANToWN, w. Va, July 81.
The trolley line connecting Nor
gantown and Mount Morris will not
be built this year. That much is
settled. Whether 1t will be built
next year, OIL the next, or ever, re-
mains to be seen. The men who have
been pushing the matter have be-
come discouraged with the prospect,
and have given 1t up. When Colonel
McDermott was asked last evening
as to the truth of the report that the
project had been abandoned, he con.
firmed 1t, and stated that the people
along the line had not subscribed suf-
ficiently to Justify the company in
going ahead, and the whole thing has
been abandoned for the present and
probably for all time. Only $4,000
was subscribed by the people along
the line. Opposition was likewise en-
countered in the matter of rights of
way, although this was not SO serious
but that it could not have been over
come II other things had been favora-
BILE. The company secured no rights
of way, but surveyed the route and
staked off the line.
