g^iagtlw D*re and on the County, by the Ter
‘^aiaal Railroad Company, for the Pay mint
of the Third $100,000.
This morning at ten o’clock the
plnanc« Committee of the Board of
Commissioners will meet, pursuant to
tllP adjournment taken last Friday
afternoon, for the purpose of deliber
ating further upon the formal demand
.,.ado by tho Wheeling Bridge aDd
Terminal Railroad Company upon the
county for the third $100,000 of the
bond* embraced in the ordinance, by the
t. rms of which Ohio county subscribed
to tho capital stock of tho Company
named.
At the meeting held last Friday a re
quest was received from Mr. II. M.
Kussell, representing certain citizens
and taxpayers opposed to the payment
pf the sum demanded, to the effect that
the committee postpono action until a
protest could be filed, and at to-day’s
meeting it is expected such written pro
test will be given, accompanied by
either verbal argument or written ob
jections to the fulfillment of the Com
many’s demand upon the county. Mr.
tV. P. Hubbard, representing the Ter
minal Company, is also expected to be
present, amply provided with argu
ments iu refutation of the allegations of
the taxpayers, and a lively and interest
ing session is looked for.
The matters at Issue have been re
p. atedly referred to in these columns,
but a restatement of the ease is proper
at this time.
ine ueiuanu maue oy iuo
Company upon the county for the third
>100.000 is based upon a clause in the
ordinance making the subscription,
adopted by the Board and ratified by
the people of this county, wherein it
was stated, after providing for the pay
ment of 1200,000 in certain installments,
as work progressed upon the l uion rail
road bridge and the terminals within
this city, that a third $100,ooo should be
due and payable “when a new railroad
from the bridge to Bowerston, O., shall
have been constructed, ready for the
passage of trains.”
It will be seen that this ordinance did
not specify any particular railroad, nor
In any manner hamper the Terminal
Company by conditions, but simply said
“a new railroad.” #The Terminal Com
pany rest their case, apparently, upon
the proposition that “a new railroad”—
to-wit, the extension of the Wheeling A
Lake Erie from Bowerston to the river
—has been completed, “ready for the
passage of trains,” aud that, under the
terms of the ordinance, the sum de
manded is due. On the otner hand, it
is alleged by those opposed to the pay
ment of the sum named, that It was un
derstood by everyone that the “new
railroad” was to be a road built, owned
and controlled by the Terminal people,
and that in effect they are endeavoring
to obtain from Ohio county the sura of
$100,000 without having done anything
to merit the bonus.
Ai iu«* lime tut? pru|iu9uiuu ui iuu
Terminal Company—then the Wheeling
uml Harrisburg—was made to the peo
|Me of Wheeling, tho Wheeling and
Like Erie road had its eastern terminus (
it Bowerston, and had not commenced
worK upon its extension to the Ohio
river. Some time after the adoptiou of
tin* ordinance by tho people of Ohio
cnuuty, the W’heeling and Lake Erie
commenced working into the coal lands
bought by its owners, and eventually
came on down to Portland. Before
they bad got fairly to work in the val
ley of Short Creek, however, the
Wheeling and Harrisburg people, act
ing under an Ohio charter, also
began work, and for several
months the workmen of the
[two corporations worked almost
side by side, readers probably recalling
that there was a good deal of friction
between the two rival parties upon
several occasions. After expending a
good deal of money, both upon actual
work, and In securing rights of way,
[etc., the Wheeling and Harrisburg peo
ple gave up the tight, and allowed the
Wheel lug and Lake Erie Company to
proceed with their Hue, tho completion
of which, first to Portland, afterwards
to Steubenville and still later to Mar
tin's Ferry, where a connection has
been made with the Terminal System,
is a matter of history.
Under these circumstances the claim
|of the Terminal Company, that the ex
tension of the Wheeling and Lake Krlo
is a “new railroad.” withiu the meaning
of the ordinance, seems to be plausible,
and to afford a standpoint from which
some effective aud vigorous fighting
can be carried on.
One of tho main objections, so far as
is know, to the claim set up by the Ter
minal Company, Is that the whole in
tent and meaning of the proposition
mad** to the people of this county, and
One which was a leadiug factor in the
fight from the first, was the securing of
i a permanent connection, through the
“new railroad,” with several roads cen
tering at or near Bowerston, and that
the completion of a funnel line, open to
ad roads desiring to use it, would
a!<>ne com ply with the spirit of
the clause which has been
quoted. It is averred that the
Wheeling and Lake Erie extension, if
“anew railroad.” is not such a “new
railroad’* as was in contemplation, and
'hat it does not meet the requirements
of the situation uor the expectation of
Hie public. It is also said, in reply to
the argument that “it could make no
difference to the people of Wheeling
who built or owned tho road, that
tti?re could be no guarantee of perma
fianey respecting existing tratlic ar
rangements between the Terminal
Company and the Wheeling and Lake
Erie—that a satisfactory arrangement,
existing this year, might bo abrogated
n, xt year, in which case thero wouid be
hot a tithe of tho benefits accruing to
this city which were expected
under the clause in the ordinance
K vising for the payment of the money.
P is also pointed out that while the
"’Heeling and Lake Erie runs to Mar
tin’s Ferry, it also runs to Steubenville,
something certainly not contemplated
wh* n the ordinance was adopted, and
tint jn effect the line from Bowerston
To Portland and thence to Steubenville
tin* main line of the road, and that
the line from Portland to Martfu’s I^grry
is only a switch. *
Many other claims and allegations are
Hudo, upon either side, and it will be
>>>feu that the impending controversy
son,e yery nice questions for
adjudication.

WHAT IT MEANS.
A nW POINTIRS RI0ARDIN9 TH1 BUND
RAILROAD 1NTRRPRBV.
The Scheme Alleged to Be a Combination Between
the Wheeling and Lake Irie, the 0. &
P. and the 0., L. & W. Roads.
For some days past a rumor has been
floating about the city to the effect that
Messrs. Rinehart & Tatum, the real
estate agents who have been conducting
the negotiations, during the past eigh
teen months, for the purchase of large
blocks of Island real estate iu the inter
ests of a mysterious railroad corpora
tion, had concluded negotiations
for the purchase of a right of
way one hundred feet wide along the
“Back” river front of the John Smith
farm, south of Fink street and west of
Broadway, and §12,000 was named as
the price. Tuesday a representative of
the firm named was seen, and he stated
no such purchase had been made. Yes
terday Mr. John Smith, Jr., was seen,
and he said:
“The negotiations for*a*portion' of our
farm have not been concluded. \\ hen
the railroad representatives first came
to us they wanted the whole of the
farm, but we could not agree on terms.
They then propose to buy all but the
east five acres, but we could not hit it
on that. They then proposed to take a
strip along “Back” river, three hun
dred feet wide, but there was
still a disagreement, and later they
thought a strip one hundred feet wide
would do. We were §3,000 apart at last
accounts. They have purchased all of
the west tier of lots in the Zano orchard
addition, as well as the Robinson field
on Ohio street and now have a clear
sweep from the south side of this street
aloug down the river to our line. A
strip one hundred feet wide from us
would carry them almost to the State
Fair Grounds.”
AS is wen Known, mis iuj^uci iuub
poration has purchased most of the re&l
estate on the north side of Ohio street,
from “Back” river to South Penn street,
a distance of tivo blocks, at a cost
approximating $100,000. About the
only • pieces not purchased are
the Llngen property, the Bayha
property, and the Coen property,
to obtain which more than $40,000 ad
tional will bo required. Definite infor
mation respecting the enterprise is very
hard to obtain, but it seems most prob
blethat tho Cleveland and Pittsburg,
the Cleveland, Loraine and Wheeling,
and the Wheeling and Lake Erio Rail
road Companies have combined
to thus obtain an entrance
into the city, crossing* to the
east side of the Island, with the ulti
mate hope of erecting a bridge between
the suspension bridge and tho new
Island Bridge Company’s bridge, and
coming out on Main street. Tho report
that the B. & 0. was also In the scheme
does not seom to bo reasonable, for a
variety of reasons.
A prominent wholesale merchant on
Main street, who has taken quite an in
terest in the project, and appears to
have divined the true inwardness of
tho situation, says:—
“I know there has been a good deal of
conjecture and guess-work as to what
all this wholesale sweeping up of real
estate on the Island means, but I think
It is safe to assort that it Is a scheme of
a railroad combination composed of the
Cleveland and Pittsburg road, the
Wheeling and Lake Erio and the Cleve
land, Lorain and Pittsburg, their idea
being to get a more direct com
munication to Wheeling. I was told
this by a prominent railroad official,
who ought to be well acquainted with
the situation, since ho holds an office un
der ono of the eompaules interested.
I inferred from his remarks that tho
scheme partly grew out of tho inability
to successfully negotiate with the
Wheeling Bridge and Terminal Com
pany. Just whore the depot will be
located I do not know, but I have heard
it rumored that it would be located at
the northwest corner of Ohio and South
Front streets, as several lots in close
proximity to oouin iront navn onen
gathered In by the combination through
tlioir agents. The railroad ollicial with
whom I talked also intimated that if the
coast was clear, the three railroads
would probably combine and build
another bridge across tho river, be
tween the two now up and building.”
“There’s one thing I would not con
sent to,” said another merchant, “and
that Is to have the railroads cross so
many public thoroughfares on the
Island at grade. By the scheme pro
posed the roads would have to cross
South Huron, York, Broadway and
South Penn streets, to which I think
residents on the lower part of the
Island would strenuously object, unless
the viaduct plan was adopted, whereby
the trains would be sufficiently high to
allow carriages to pass under them.
And this plan would be much better for
the railroads in case of a flood. Noth
ing will be done this year, I ain sure,
but when the matter comes up, over
head crossings ought to be strenuously
iuslsted upon by Council.”
