| RAILROAD FROM WASHINGTON TO LARx
EHiE The Fulton, pa Republican, published

lstion to the proposed Chesapeake and Lake

"This is railroad project In which our citi.
Gems are, or should feel, deeply interested. For
some time past tn, question Of q railroad from
and Is now assuming tangible shape, and 10 worthy
the attention OF the citizens Of this county
The route for this road has been examined from
Washington as far as Williamsport on tho Poto.
mac, and has been found entirely practicable.
From williamsport II will follow the Potomac to
the mouth Of Licking creek thence MP Licking
creek by the shortest and best route to Mt
Union, on the Pennsylvania Central railroad, and
thence to Lake Erie. One Of the objects Of tho
road Is the Broad Top coal folds and II anthra.

cient quantities to Justify working, so much bet
teri but this road is not made contingent on this
the great object Of this enterprise lies beyond.
From present indications, Mt. Union Is a point,
but examinations and surveys may modify this,
though the feasibility Of road through this
valley and on to Mt. Union will, In all proba.
bility. make that the favored place. It Is not
an absolute condition that the main stem Of this
road shall penetrate the Bro,d Top coal folds, II
not convenient or suitable. but In that event a
lateral or branch road will do 1t. From the best
Information we have on the subject and from
private letters we are assured that the right Of
way Is the only formidable obstacle In the yay,
and this, no doubt, will be overcome Gentle.
men Of large means, who are oouversant with
the Importance Of this road regard this as the
leading project Of the day, and sooner or later
1t will be accomplished. Tho character Of this
road Is not Of mere local, but rather Of national
