in the near future, be carried on
from Sewell's Point, Immediately

has determined To make OF Sewells

American coal destined for foreign
use. The entire space of land, ahut-
ting on tho shore line of Hampton
Roads at this juncture viii be used
for coal yards and wharves, and as
this space covers several hundreds of
acres, the immensity of the plant will
be of wonderful extent.
In order TO accomplish the plans and
purposes in contemplation. the Tide
water railroad will extend its branch
es SO as to tap every field where this
Indispensable fuel is TO be found.
Men who are interested in this vast
industry, as we'll as railroad men IN
general, will find il profitable way
TO join business with pleasure by
visiting the Exposition, and studying
the possibilities of increasing their
trade. 1t will be of value TO them To
know that many of the buildings on

BUILDING RECORDS BROKEN.
New Atlantic City Hotel Going Up
In Sections of One Story
Each Week.

Atlantic City, y. j.. Nov. 2s.- A
uniaue building record is being made
"a NE erection Of the new Hotel Tray
more. The contractors are putting up
"a nine-story fireproof structure in
nhenominally short time, without in
terfcring with the business of tie pres
eut hotel, which still occupies one
balf Of the site for the new building,
and with so little noise tnat its
,,nests are not disturbed.
This feat is being accomplished by
the use OF reinforced concrete and
hollow tile, and by dividing the
building into two sections. The first
section is now going up next TO the
present hotel. AS soon as this section
Is finished the guests viii be trans
ferred from the original hotel, which
will then be torn down and the second
section erected on its site.
Progress on the work has been un-
usually rapid. Pile driving was begun
ON September 10. and since then the
structural work has been pushed ahead
SO vigorously by day and night gangs
that the structure has risen at the rate
of one complete story in six working
glavs. Half the construction force are
rarpenters for making the concrete
beams and columns. The floors are
made with alternate sections Of burnt
tile and concrete. Experts are greatly
in favor of this combination of rein
forced concrete and hollow tile.
The concrete allows great rapidity
Of construction, economy, and avoid
ance of noise, and the hollow tile en-
sures that the structure viii be as near
ly unburnable as it is possible
