SUSPENSION OF
WORK ON RAILWAY
Later Information Confirms Re
ports Concerning c. & O., at
First Denied.
DELAY is ONLY TEMPORARY
Due to Fact That Account to
Credit of This Class OF Work
Is Exhausted.
DELAY is ONLY TEMPORARY

Later information confirms the re-
ton on the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
way will be stopped al an early date.
1t was stated yesterday morning on
the authority Of a gentleman who Is
connected with the road, although not
in any way associated with the con-
struction department, that the report
was a mistake; that such an order
had been contemplated, but the man
agomcnt had decided not to Issue 1t,
and that work would go on.
The evidence now shows that this
gentleman himself was mistaken.
President Stevens and General Mana
ger Doyle being in the West and Vice
President Axtell being In New York,
Information from the higher sources
could not be obtained.
Orders Issued.
It was learned yesterday afternoon
from the office Of the engineer of con-
structton that orders have issued
for a cessation of work. J. G. Carpen-
ter & Company. large contractors at
Clifton Forge. will suspend work to.
night. c. D. Langhorne. who had large
contracts on the Guyandotte Vale!
Division, will suspend as soon as Ger;
tain work, now nearly completed. shall
be finished. Lane Brothers Company
will discontinue work on the jane
River Division, but will finish up tn
construction they are now enga ged OF
between this city and Newport News
which they may complete by Angus
LIST Matthews. Curtis & Compan.
have small piece Of wor], to finish
and then they will suspend.
These orders to stop all work ma.
be countermanded within short time
The officials now in the city know
nothing definite, but express the be
lief that the suspension will be blu
temporary and Of very short dura
ton
Lack of Money.
1t seems that lack Of money for ney
work Is the cause of the suspension
and this Is attributed to the fact tina
| because of the hard time railways /
general are now having with Corpora
ZION Commissions and Legislature
throughout the country they find
| impossible to sell bonds readily or t
effect large loans. The Chesapeake an
Ohio will suspend construction sim
ply because the bank account to tn

exhausted and there Is no way !
