The editor of the Petersburg Cya.1 Intelli-
gencer, in referring to the recent annual report
of the president and directors Of this road, says
"In 1876, ,whenthe company was organized, the

Il was deemed barely possible thar 1t might in the
! course of time. be extended as Tar as Frederick
I or Cumberland; bnt the idea OF its ever reach-
| ing the banks of the Ohio was not seriously en-.
! teTtained by one mind in thousand, even of its
friends Ia the year 1880, about the 4lh OF July,
| it wqs our fortune 10 be in Baltimore for the
| first time in our life. This was more than four
years after the organization OF the company
We remember on that occasion the enthusiasm
which was Just then being tell at the opening of
the road 10 EIicOtt's Mils, a distance of only
some twelve miles, We never, before that visit
saw railroad car, and those which we then
saw were drawn, we believe by horses. Six
years afterwards, in returning from the West,
we travelled on the same road from Frederick
to Baltimore, 600 miles, land then saw enough to
satisfy US that further extension of it West.

formed a very inadequate conception of the ge-

secntiOn. And now we have report presented
as good as announcing) The completion of the
work through its whole length OF $50 miles
So little remains TO be done at the Western ex-
tremity, that it may be said with truth that the
harbor of Baltimore and the waters of the Ohio
are in each others embrace. On the Ist of the
ensuing January the train of cars that will leave
the depot in Baltimore will ia twenty hours or
less time, discharge their freight and passengers
on the banks ofthe Ohio. In taking up our pen
to notice this splendid achievement of the people
OF the Monumental City, we can but cordially
congratulate them upon their deserved and al
most une6amped success They have entitled
themselves to the everlasting gratitude of the
millions who will share with them the rich fruits
OF their commercial enterprise, which are TO be
realized in this magnificent structure They
deserve to flourish under its auspices as they
must do, in a rapid and substantial manner They
have persevered steadily and courageously in the

A "REMINISCENCES.

In Norfolk last week, three story brick house
on Little Water street, built in 1904 was destroyed
by fire. The NorfollS Herald says:
Itwas in this house that shocking TRACE
dy occurred in 1906 Two gamblers, broth
ers, of the name of Davis, rented the third
story for the purpose of keeping pharo
table. Ono night an ItaliOn, whose name.
We believe was Colmini, (Coalminer, as he
was commonly called,) visited this establish
mcnt, and meeting with extraordinary luck,
finally broke the bank. The Davises and
another of their fraternity charged him with
cheating; he protested his innocence, but it
was to no purpose. They attempted to
seize him, but he broke from them and fed
down the narrow dark stairway, all three in
close pursuit. On the second landing he
stepped aside, uuperceived, and as each
passed him on the right, in the dark, he
gave him a fatal stab with stilettO in the
left side, and push down the next fight.
The two Davises were mortally wounded
and died within "a hours; their companion
fingered several weeks and died also Tho
Italian escaped.

states that the yearly income OF certain rich
citizen of that town would buy twelve hundred

wages of two hundred hard working men. His
