act was revived and amended March 12, 1845. The road was located and constructed from Columbus to Cleveland, 138 miles. The company purchased, as hereafter stated, part of the Spring- field, Mt. Vernon and Pittsburg road, now known as the Spring- field Branch.
THE SPRINGFIELD AND MANSFIELD RAILROAD .- Company char- tered March 21, 1850, with authority to build a road from Spring- field to Mansfield. Permission was afterward granted by an amendatory act to change the eastern terminus of the road. The name of the company was changed, August, 1852, by decree of court, to the Springfield, Mt. Vernon and Pittsburg Railroad Com- pany. When the road had been nearly completed from Spring- field to Delaware, 50 miles, the company became insolvent, and the road was sold at judicial sale, January 1, 1861, to individuals, who, a year afterward, conveyed it to the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Company.
THE BELLEFONTAINE AND INDIANA RAILROAD .- Company char- tered by act of the Ohio legislature, February 25, 1848. Under this charter and its amendments, the road was built from Galion to Union City, on the Ohio and Indiana boundary line, 119 miles.
THE INDIANAPOLIS AND BELLEFONTAINE RAILROAD .- Company chartered under an Indiana law, February 17, 1848. Road con- structed from Union City, on the State line, where it connects with the Bellefontaine and Indiana Railroad of Ohio, to Indian- apolis. The name of the company was changed, December 19, 1854, to the Indianapolis, Pittsburg and Cleveland Railroad Company.
CONSOLIDATIONS .- The Bellefontaine and Indiana, and the In- dianapolis, Pittsburg and Cleveland roads, after having been by agreement operated jointly for about eight years, were, Decem- ber 20, 1864, completed and consolidated, the two companies taking the name of the Bellefontaine Railway Company. This company, May 16, 1868, became consolidated with the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad Company, under the name of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis Rail- way Company, having the following line of road: From Cleve- land to Columbus, 138 miles ; from Galion to Indianapolis, 203; and from Springfield to Delaware (Springfield Branch), 50 miles ; giving a total length of 391 miles, of which 307 are in Ohio.

THE COLUMBUS, SPRINGFIELD AND CINCINNATI RAILROAD.
The history of the company owning this road begins with the charter of the Columbus and Springfield Railroad Company, February 16, 1849, under which a road was built from Spring- field to London, 20 miles. This road was leased, June 1, 1854, to the Mad River and Lake Erie, now the Cincinnati, Cleveland and Lake Erie Railroad Company, for fifteen years. The road and property were sold, May 8, 1868, under a decree of the United States District Court, to Jacob W. Pierce, of Boston, for $100,000. The Columbus, Springfield and Cincinnati Railroad Company was incorporated May 1, 1869, with a capital stock of $1,500,000, and on the 4th of September following, Mr. Pierce transferred his purchase, by deed, to the new company. By an arrangement with the purchaser, the road was continued under the management of the Cincinnati, Sandusky and Cleveland Railroad Company, to which it was permanently leased July 1, 1870. It has been since completed, and is now in operation from Springfield to Columbus, 45 miles.
C NCINNATI, SANDUSKY AND CLEVELAND RAILROAD.
This company was incorporated by special charter as the Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad Company, for building a road from Dayton, through Tiffin, via Bellevue, to Sandusky. After the road was built, the company became dissatisfied with the line from Tiffin to Sandusky via Bellevue, and abandoned it. Meeting with obstacles to the change of line, the parties in- terested, under the act incorporating the Sandusky City and Indiana Railroad Company, built the new line from Tiffin, via

Clyde, to Sandusky, and leased it to the Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad Company virtually in perpetuity.
The company has passed through many financial embarrass- ments ; the road has been once sold, and the company reorgan- ized, its name changed, etc. The company leased, March 25, 1871, that portion of its line, 25 miles in length, between Dayton and Springfield, to the Cincinnati and Springfield Short Line Railroad Company, which took possession April 1, 1872. The Cincinnati, Sandusky and Cleveland company has now a main line from Sandusky to Springfield, 130 2-10 miles; a branch road from Carey to Findlay, 15 5-10 miles ; and the Columbus, Springfield and Cincinnati road, from Columbus to Springfield, 45 miles, making an aggregate line of 190 7-10 miles.
THE CLEVELAND, MT. VERNON AND COLUMBUS RAILROAD.
A portion of the line of the company owning this road, formerly belonged to the Cleveland, Zanesville and Cincinnati Railroad Company, which had its origin under an act passed February 19, 1851, authorizing the construction of a railroad from Hudson, through Cuyahoga Falls and Akron, to Wooster, or some other point on the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad, between Massillon and Wooster, to connect with the same and any other railroad running in the direction of Columbus, and provided that such road should be known as the Akron Branch of the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad Company. A company was organized under this act by the name of the Akron Branch of the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad Company, and con- structed the road from Hudson to Millersburg.
The name was changed by order of court, March 17, 1853, to the Cleveland, Zanesville and Cincinnati Railroad Company. The company becoming financially embarrassed, the road, prop- erty; and franchises were, by order of court, sold, November 2, 1864, to George W. Cass and John J. Marvin, who, on the 1st of July, 1865, sold their purchase to the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway Company, by whom the road was owned and operated, until leased, with that company's main road, July 1, 1869, to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
The Pittsburg, Mt. Vernon, Columbus and London Railroad Company was organized May 11, 1869, and on the 1st of No- vember following, purchased so much of the old unfinished road, right of way, etc., of the Springfield, Mt. Vernon and Pittsburg railroad, as lies east of Delaware, and extending through Mt. Vernon, in the direction of Millersburg, 43 miles in length. The same company purchased, November 4, 1868, the entire Cleveland, Zanesville, and Cincinnati road, before known as the " Akron Branch," extending from Hudson to the coal-mines

The name of the company was changed by decree of court, December 20, 1869, to the Cleveland, Mt. Vernon and Delaware Railroad Company.
THE COLUMBUS AND MAYSVILLE RAILROAD.
This is one of the recently projected railroads centering in Columbus, whose importance has not been yet duly appreciated. It is, however, steadily gaining public recognition and favor. Its value to our city should not be overlooked. At Maysville, connec- tion can be made with the Maysville and Lexington road, and at or near Lexington, with the Cincinnati Southern through line, giving Columbus a direct trade with Knoxville, Chattanooga, Atlanta, and the entire Southern and Southeastern seaboard.
It would thus open to our manufacturers the almost inex- haustible iron mines in the Chattanooga country, and place us considerably nearer to these than to the great mineral deposits of Missouri, now one of the main sources of supply. Besides, the road and connecting lines would afford a fine market for our agricultural products, and make the road advantageous to the farming interests in the countries through which it would pass. It could be made the great through route to the Gulf, and one of the best paying enterprises now contemplated.
The recent status of the Columbus and Maysville railroad was this: Bonds appropriated by Brown county, $173,000; bonds appropriated by Darby township, Pickaway county, $32,000; stock subscribed by Pleasant township, Madison county, $32,000; total appropriations, $237,000; to which are to be added $150,000 from the townships in Fayette county, through which the road is to pass. The enterprise, say its friends, is delayed, but will yet be accomplished.
COLUMBUS, MCARTHUR AND GALLIPOLIS RAILROAD.
This projected railroad is to be constructed from Gallipolis on a direct route to McArthur, Vinton county, and thence to Logan, Hocking county, where a connection is to be made with the Hock- ing Valley road to Columbus. Nearly the whole length of the line passes through a field of inexhaustibly rich coal and iron deposits, and a quality of stone almost equal to conglomerate marble.
Some months ago, a great portion of the road between Gal- lipolis and McArthur had been put under contract, and work

upon it was steadily progressing. The township in which Gal- lipolis is situated, had voted an appropriation of $80,000 to build that end of the road. Elk township, in which McArthur is located, had also voted an appropriation of $25,000 for build- ing the road through that township. It was stated that the only remaining need to assure the construction of the road, was the means to build it between McArthur and Logan, and the prospect was that the president and directors would be able to supply this want speedily.
It is of great importance to the business and interests of Co- lumbus, that this road should be built and equipped as soon as possible. The paramount object in its construction is to pene- trate the great coal and iron veins in Vinton and Jackson coun- ties, and at the same time form a connection with the Chesapeake and Ohio road, at or near Gallipolis, on the Ohio river. This latter object is of no small moment to the future progress of Columbus, as it will open up a direct communication, by a shorter route than any other yet devised, through the rich agri- cultural, lumber, and mineral regions of West Virginia and Virginia to the Atlantic seaboard.
THE COLUMBUS AND NORTHWESTERN RAILWAY.
On the 20th of June, 1872, there was filed in the office of the secretary of state a certificate of incorporation for the Columbus and Northwestern Railway Company, organized to construct a road from Columbus to a point on the line between Ohio and Michigan, in Williams county, passing through Franklin, Union, Logan, Hardin, Auglaize, Allen, Putnam, Defiance, and Williams counties. The capital stock is four million dollars, in shares of fifty dollars. Corporators : Charles M. Hughes, Norman Tucker, J. J. R. Hughes, S. A. Baxter, Jr., Calvin S. Brice, J. B. Roberts, Theo.

" Columbus is so situated as to be the natural outlet by railroad of one of the greatest coal-fields of the world-one that abounds also in iron and other minerals. Our city has railroad connections with all parts of the country equal to any, and superior to many other inland towns. It has men of capital and enterprise who compare favorably with those of their class in the more thriving business centers of the country.
" Our facilities for manufacturing are not surpassed anywhere. Right at our door, as it were, and coming to us on its way for consumption and dis- tribution, is that article of prime necessity-COAL. Vacant lands in the immediate vicinity of the city, well adapted to manufacturing purposes, ean now be bought at one-third or one-fourth the prices they will bring four or five years hence, even if we advance no faster in the next than during our last deeade.
" The things thus briefly alluded to are but a few of our great manufac- turing and commercial advantages. By availing ourselves of these in due time, while on a progressive career, our city will speedily become great, rich, and prosperous. Negleeting these, she will soon begin to retrograde, and be outstripped in the race by her more enterprising rivals. An organ- ization is needed to do by united action, in a few years, what the isolated efforts of individuals, however enterprising, can never accomplish.
" The almost superhuman efforts for our advancement made within a few years past, and now making by some of our citizens should be encouraged and aided by all the power and energy at the command of the entire com- munity. This can only be done by a proper organization-a board of trade-of which our manufacturers, merehants, bankers, business men, pro- fessional men, and other citizens should become members and assist in the general advancement of all our interests, public and private.
" It is to be hoped that the call made will be promptly responded to, and that there will be a large meeting in the Board of Trade room, at half-past seven o'clock to-morrow evening. It will be an important meeting, as the initiatory steps will be taken, on which the suceess of the proposed organ - ization will depend.
"The best and ablest men we have should be selected for officers and members of committees. There is no laek of such men in Columbus. We have plenty of them; their names might be mentioned, but it would be only a few among the many, from whom selections could be made for officers and for members of the committees on manufactures, railways, transporta- tion, law, taxation, membership, weights and measures, insurance, public improvements, finance, etc.
" As the primary object of a board of trade is to collect, reeord, and dif- fuse special, as well as general statistical and reliable information respect- ing manufacturing, commereial, and financial interests, and especially to guard, foster, and develop manufacturing and other industrial resources, let there be a full attendanee at the meeting on to-morrow evening of all sueh as desire to see an efficient board of trade in Columbus, and are disposed to assist in its formation. J. H. S."
The initials appended to the foregoing article are those of the publisher of this work. The subject was agitated in the city papers and in business circles, and the demand soon became urgent for a public meeting to take the preliminary steps for organizing a board of trade.
