must eal your attention. in justice 70 company,
70 very gross and evidently malicious article published
In your paper of Monday last headed "Railroad Disas
tors and signed BY zone Who Sees"
am sorry that "Ono who Sees" does not connne him
self 70 TRUTH he really does see what he might see
by proper observation. The writer nys:-'Look at
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from Baltimore to Wash
iDgton This is within one Of the oldest roads in the
United staics and has not yet double track" &C.
Permit me TO you that for the last two years tho
subject Of complete double track between Baltimore
and Washington has occupied the closest attention and
effort Of company and that according to official pro-
mise made by President and others Of a. moro than
year ago was finished before the opening Of the pre-
sent Congress the st Of December last and has been
IN constant and successful use since.
Lot mo also assure you Of the fact that - early -
1897, with tho Potomac entirely blockaded by Beau
regards and Johnstons armies, and Washington and
vicinity occupied by army and population OF three
hundred thousand souls, the entire supplies In every
thing with all the troops travel mails, &c, were sue
cessfuy and promptly carried by TO the perfect salts
faction Of the government, with q single track
At this time, with hardly any troops there and ocr
tainly half many soldiers and citizens 70 supply as
in 1851 we have q double track completed throughout,
and facilities coespondingly advanced for public
and private accommodation.
We have the best and most powerful locomotives
and very large equipment Of cars Of all descriptions
for passengers and freight, and everything, indeed indeed
adequate TO the situation, even II 1t were trebled
in lis magnitude over that Of 1851, much less the
relatively moderate demands now made upon u.s.
In shsrt, the road between Baltimore and washington
ID now Of the competest most regularly and readily
worked lines Of communication in the United States
zone Who Sees'' and all who see 70 the contrary not
withsanding
Ishoud, moreover add that wo have not had an acct
dent serious detention far as the want OF track
room or good implements concerned, during the
entire winter which has proven the severest generally
upon railroads IN this section Of the country for the past
eleven years.
Permit me TO add that our main line to the West via
Wheeling Benwood and Parkersburg is now also open,
and in ssul and regular operation, doing an I'M
which we think the several departments at Washington
readily substantiate If required Believe me 70 re-
