Al meeting OF the Board Of Directors of the
chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company yester-
day, in your city, the tolls on coal were in.
creased one-sixteenth cent per ton per mile,
making the tolls fiye-sIxteenth cent instead of
one-fourth cent per ton per mile, or 57k cents
instead OF as cents per ton for the whole dis
tance. 1t Is thought this increase will give the
canal company Mt least S25,000 additional toll
annually.
Col. Bakers detective force are still over
hauling contraband goods on the canal, Yes
terday they captured small lot of apples,
potatoes, and of course whisky. The whisky
was in keg packed in barrel Of potatoes.
