NEW COAL ROAD PLANS.
Work ON Deepzoater-T -Tidezcater Sys-
tenn W'iU Begin Soon.

Baltimore, Aug A.-An authoritative state
ment Of the present status and probable scope
Of what is known as the Deepwater-tidewater
system Of railways, destined to connect the
Great Lakes and the Virginia seaboard by way
OF the coal regions of West Virginia, is made in
this weeks issue of The Manufacturers Rec
ord" in special correspondence from Charleston.
W. Va The correspondence says, in part:
The Deepwater- tidewater system Of railways
is now practically under contract between the
Town or Deepwater w. Va, and the tidewater of
hampton Roads, Va, a distance OF about 500
miles From somewhere along the line an Off
shoot will ultimately appear. headed for some
point on one of the Great Lakes of the North.
Wherever IL may land, the total length of the
main line can hardly exceed 1000 miles The
enterprise is novel in that for the first time in
this country at least, it is being built as whole
from the starting point to destination, without
any reference TO the local business of interior
points. This is the first tidewater road to be
built from the West to the East and IT is the
first trunk line to be constructed with cash
in hand. without one dollars worth of stock or
bonds ever having been offered to the public.
II is the expectation that entirely new mar
kets will be opened by the new road. New-York
is at present almost clamoring for the smoke
less Goals Of the New-River- -Pocahontas fields
and yet II Is practically impossible for those
Goals to get into New-York in any considerable
lots. New-York takes for consumption and dis
uribuLion about IA 100000 tons of steam coal in
year. New England, which takes about $780,
600 tons Of smokeless bituminous coal in a year.
is the principal market for the Goals delivered
the Norfolk and Western roads. The Deepwater
Tidewater system proposes to get into New
York, and will make no fight for the New
England trade.
The work under construction will cost about
S36,O00000. With the line to the lakes the en-
tire enterprise including everything except roll
ing stock and the lake terminals, will cost some
$50 600 600. And vet the companies doing this
enormous work capitalized at only $4,000
and have paid every bill without asking the
public for dollar.
II is positively declared in press dissstche7s
that the New-YOrk Central lines and Pennsy!-
vania interests have wrested from Gould the
group Of properties taken over by the Gould
Ramsey syndicate two or three years ago, gen
orally described as the Little Kanawha prop
critics There are some facts connected with the
formation and composition OF that syndicate
however. which make these reports seem at
least a trl1e premature. That the DeepWater-
Tidewater road will be Gould ally, if il does
not become a part Of his system of roads, would
by no means seem to be an unreasonable as
sumption

COMPLAIN Of DEAD FISH.
Staten Island Residents alarmed by
Stencil from Pond.

Complaint made yesterday at the office Of
the Department Of Health at Richmond. and to
Edgar Hicks. hsh and game constable, OF the
condition Of the ponds known the Glove Lakes,
back OF the hill running from West Brighton to
Concord. The complaint that the stencil arising
from dead fish in the pond such to make
living to leeward of it almost impossible At Cas-
Teton Corners. it was said, many persons had been
obliged TO leave their homes through the day.
The ponds had been stocked by the State Fish
and Game Commission, and that why Mr..
Hicks was called in Work was started at once
sktmuning the ponds and destroying the dead fish.
Mr. Hicks took samples of the fish and they will
be brought TO Manhattan this morning for analysis.
The ponds are leased by an ice company 1t is
alleged that the company recently sprinkled solu-
ton Of vitriol along the shores of the ponds TO
Kill off the weeds, and that the vitriel was used
in such quantities as to kill the fish Considerable
alarm felt, the ponds adjoin one of the sta
tions from which water is pumped TO supply a part
of Richmond Borough. and the water from the
ponds flows down into the wells from which the
pumping is done. 1t is believed however, that the
water will clear itself while settling through the

A psnicky feeling was created on the Stock
Exchange in the last half hour OF the trading
Yesterday by the sudden advance of Reading
from Id 10 125%. this movement being accom-
panied by decline in the general list, due TO
-he fear that q corner had developed in Reading
The price OF that stock. however went off to
1928 at the close. partly profit taking, and
further reinsurance was given the market by
the announced offer OF a member OF the bull
pool IN Reading 10 lend 100000 shares OF the
stock at per cent
One Of the explanations advanced for the late
movement OF the market was that an interest
heavily short Of Reading had settled at 125. and
n order 10 obtain the necessary funds had been
obliged 70 throw over large blocks of other
stocks. Another theory was that the swift ad-
vance IN Reading was caused by the pools
efforts 70 mark up the stock TO level at which
some OF the shorts would be compelled TO cover.
rather than by buying TO cover short contracts.
TIE market opened strong. with prices gen.
orally higher than at the close on Wednesday,
but soon yielded 10 some extent on profit taking.
The tone continued good. however, rallies fol-
lowing reoessions and the general trend being
upward Just after noon q vigorous buying
