Union street has by the course of events been already condemned for railway commerce. Through the greater Portion of its length dweilings have disappeared, though a few still remain south of King street. There were at one time five comfortable hotels on the street, used mainly by travelers on the river. All these have gone. A score or more of welling houses have disappeared. Even the idewalks have been narrowed to make the ‘treet more commodious for the railway. Now the Danville managers, who control the W. & ©. road at the north end and the Midland road that enters at the south end, want to use the 50-feet-wide street (except at King street cross- in;s) for a double track. There seems to be little dvabt that the permission will be granted, as the thoroughiare has already been destroyed for all but railroad purposes, and the railroads may give yet greater value to the lots upon it When the permit is given several changes uniting the Midland and the W. & O. R. R., will be made, and a yet closer ferry over to the B, & O. R. R. at Shepherd established.
