TIDEWATER
SOMETHING OF THE MYSTERIOUS
NEW RAILRoAD-TRAVERsEs
MUCH GOOD COAL.

The Coal Trade Journal publishes
a map of the route of the Deepwater-
Tidewater railroad, with an accom-
panying article, from which the fol-
lowing facts are taken:
The coal fields to be covered by the
Observation-Disclosures road and its lat
eral branches are extensive and val
liable. The road will traverse the
headwaters Of many streams which Of
fer opportunities for latterals. In con
nectipn with these laterais may be
noted the large territory that will be
opened by branch down the Guyan-
dotte river. This latter section already
has important coal properties In va
rious stages Of development.
The tidewatar terminal Of this new
system has certain advantages. The
railroad owns ego acres Of ground at
Sewelrs Point, with deepwater front
age of 1900 feet The land selected
for terminal is opposite the holding
ground of Hampton Roads, the channel
is unobstructed and there Is open wat
err to the piers at low tide.
On the 46O miles from Deepwater to
Sewells Point considerable progress
has been made in grading and track
laying at both ends of the line. On
that part of tic road firm he Chesa-
peake and Ohio to the Norfolk and
Western connection 105 miles 80 per
cent. is graded. In the aggregate,
some 40 miles of track has been laid,
and about "a miles is in operation. 1t
is expected that during the next II
months approximately $1S,OOO,OOO will
be paid out on construction account.
The road Is substantially construct
ed, IS pound steel is used, and the
track is ballasted with crushed stone
Tunnels are cut % feet above the rail

the Deepwater railway will furnish

Back to the Home.

Supt. Sessions of the Soldiers Or
phans' Home was at the police sta
ton yesterday. He came down in the
rain TO take Lee OrendoTff, i fugitive
inmate, back TO the Home. Orendorff
is IA years Of age and rn away with
several companions about 4 month or
so ago. The boys get as far as Dies
Moincs, where in order TO make
good. and escape being sent back TO
the Home. Orendorff told q story of
cruei treatment as the hands of those
in charge at the Home. The story
was wildly exploited by the Des
Moines and other state papers, until
the board of control had TO take cog
nizance of the tale and name COM
mittee to investigate it. This was
carefully and thoroughly done, and the
report of the investigating committee
which visited here, fully exonerated
Supt. Sessions.
