The section OF S Ennes as general
manager OF the Wheeling and Lake
Erie Railroad may have some special
Significance to the Western Maryland,
Il has been reported in railroad cir
clea.
II Is known that for a long time the
Western Maryland interests have been
looking with longing eyes toward The
Wheeling and Lake Erie road 20 Join
outlet to the Great Lake regions aud
for the purpose Of tapping the rich
coal fields about the Wheeling section
The building OF a spur from the
Wheeling and Lake Nrie road TO toir
the- Western Maryland at Connells-
willie has also been an object In mind
for some timo by q combination cf
the two systems, the company could
have an outlet on the Great Lakes
and also one on the Seaboard At Bal
timore,
As Mr.. Ennes was for some years
with the Western Maryland and
knows the needs and aspirations oI
that road, and II Is presumed that IN
his new position with the Wheeling
md Erie that he would be rather
friendly with the local road and f
may be that the Western Maryland
