ELECTRICITY Will Probuhly be Used on CIcvc* lumJ, Lorain and Wheeling IL'tlCDi: TIIP hA!i\ Mtim-rro IT iit.ixL 11in kuau turnmcd With Klcrtrle Lines-Ofltrera of the Cow pony are Now luveetlgatlug the Matter, and will Probably Pot In the Klrat Line Between UhrlrhavllU and New Philadelphia?Another Line Ont of Bridge, port Is Unite Probable. Following the load of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Company, the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling Railroad Company is considering the matter of an electric service in connection with Its regular strain service. Thn si?ltnl..1_ _ - i.. _ .. . .. - vim ium ure now lOOKinff into w? matter and It is expected that somethin#; definite Will be known In the near future. Thla step hus been brought about by the competition of electric lines that parallel the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling at a number of places, and which have taken from It a large proportion of Its local passenger traffic. It is to compete for this traffic that electric lines are to be operated In connection at several points on the road. It H proposed to run the electric cars on the track already In use, either with cars of standard gunge, or with cars of the usual street railroad guage which would necessitate the use of a third and Independent rail. It Is rciId a line will be operated out of Cleveland to Chippewa Lake, a resort about forty miles south of the Forest City. Another line in contemplated between Uhrlchsvllle and New Philadelphia, where there Is a large local traffic that has been diverted to a recently constructed electric line. It Is also said there will !>? an effectrlo line out of the southern terminu*. Bridgeport, to a point north about twenty miles. This latter line is of more Interest to Wheeling than the others, for It would bring much retail trade to Wheeling that Is kept away at present through a comparatively poor passenger schedule of the steam road. It Is hoped the Cleveland. Lorain & Wheeling people will see their way clear to make the proposed electric line Improvements. A Connecting Link. CANAL DOVER. Ohio, May 19.?A gang fcf eighty men were put to work two miles south of here, by the Cleveland & Pittsburgh Railroad Company, in starting to grade for the laying of a alx-mlle stem from the present terminus of the road Into the Beaverdam Valley The laborers were brought from Pittsburgh on n nneeL.il train, nnd the work will bo pushed with all rapidity until completed, which It l? thought Will not require more than sixty days with the number of laborers employed. More will be added If necessary to complete It In that time. This la th?? first link In the ?teel chain which will bind together the main lino of the Cleveland ft Pittsburgh and Pan-Handle, and after this stem Is completed there will remain an untracked space of but four miles to the main lino of the Pan-Handie at Uhrlchsvllle The construction of this stem Is bolng hurried In order to develop extensive coal fluids In the Beaverdam Valley, but It Is aald by those In position to know that the tricking of the rest of the link will not be delayed. Itatlroart Rate* Compared. A comparison of the rates charged on American and foreign railroads for 1S92 produced the following results: For passenger mller-Unlted States, 2.14 cents; Prussia. 2:99 cents; Austria, 5.06 cents; France, 3.36 cents; Belgium. 2.25 cents. For freight per ton per mile?United States. 0.97 cents; Prussia. 1.32 rents; Austria, 1.56 cents; France, 1.59 cents; Belgium. 1.39 cents. Knglish rallwa> accounts nro not stated per ton per mile, and their rates usually also Include cartage. A cumtmrisnn in therefore dltllrult. but a treatise by Edward Bates Dorsey upon "American and British Railways Compared," which was awarded the Norman medal of the American Society of Civil Engineers, said of the freight rates in 1886: "The rate as given from Liverpool to Birmingham, 97 miles, on grain and flour, is 13.01 per gross ton. and the rate as given from Chicago to New York. 1,000 miles. is J5 60 per gross ton." (It Is now |4 48.) Jfew Railroad Rnreaa. It is probable that on and after June 1, persons traveling on mileage books over the Eastern or Ohio river lines, will have to deal with a bureau, which will be Independent of any of the transportation companies. The mileage bureau plan of western roads has caught the eye of the Eastern passenger representatives. and a proposition for the adoption of a similar arrangement has been submitted to them. A meeting for Its consideration lias been called for tomorrow. Tho plan Is the creation of Commissioner Donald, of the Central Passenger Association, he having been authorized to take up the matter at a recent meeting of representatives of Chicago and Ohio River, Cincinnati and St. Louis. Cincinnati and Toledo, and Clnninn.ttl and Columbus lines.
