programme met with complete success in
every respect and was highly appreciated
by the very large audience. The Hall was
completely filed, so that there was not
even standing room. II would be almost
impossible for us to go into details as to
how we'll each person taking part per.
formed their selections. but suffice IL to say
that each selection was rendered with the
greatest efficiency and ability. The talent
as shown In this musical was the best in
town, and each selection was highly ap.

the first OF many entertainments that the
Epworth League will give. and to those

ing and upon his report was based
the several efforts that seemed TO
be almost certain of success to
enlist capital at Pitts burg and New
York. There were many doubling
Thomases" during those days, who
said there was nothing in Deckers
creek valley that would justify the
expenditure of the money necessary
to build the railroad, and that if
persisted in by the promoters would
result in a final failure and involve
them in bankruptcy. With absolute
confidence, he and Mr.. Sturgiss
proclaimed from the stump and
through the press that the stock
subscribed for by Morgan district
and paid for by its bonds would be
worth par in gold within five years
from the time of the opening of the
road for traffic. They had the
pleasure inside of the FIVE years of
seeing their declarations verified,
and the very stock that had been
regarded by the "croakers" as
valueless, that was sold by the
county court for less than par,
bringing S265 a share.
Later a new charter for the "West
Virginia Railroad" was taken out
and the work of construction was
begun by the company through
Albert Pitcairn and his sub con-
tractors, Tenant & Johnson and
others, and about $40, 900 or ESQ.,
900 was expended by them when
their unfortunate failure involved
the whole enterprise in discredit
and bankruptcy. In the meantime
the "Tunnelton, Kingwood and
Fairchance Railroad" was started
and built as narrow guage road
by aid of subscription by Kingwood
district this after being run for
some time unsuccessfully, was taken
over by ]. Ami Martin and Mr..
Sturgiss and converted into a stan.
dard guage railroad, and with a
view of connecting it with Morgan
town, the charter of the "Morgan-
town and Kingwood Railroad" was
taken out and the road that now
connects the two towns was com
pleted and opened for passenger
traffic this week. OF the pioneers
in all these enterprises few lived to
see the fruition of their hopes.
