<DIV align=left> The Virginian Railway, H. H. Rogers' road,
surpassed its recent notable freight hauling feat and hauled into Norfolk on
Tuesday evening from Roanoke 243 miles, with a single mikado locomotive, 90
steel cars, each loaded with 50 tons of coal, or 4,500 tons of fuel.</DIV>
<DIV align=left> The weight of the train, including its load,
approximates 7,000 tons.</DIV>

<DIV align=left> </DIV>
<DIV align=left> The Norfolk and Western railway company has a
gang of sixty men in camp in box cars on the west side of the county infirmary
farm, says the Columbus Press-Post. It is believed they will be there for
some time. The men are building a connection of about two miles in length
south of Livingston avenue to the T. & O. C. tracks. For a mile south
of Livingston the new track will be on the west side of the double; below that
point it will be on the east side. By this means a lot of grading will be
dispensed with.</DIV>
