Proposed Complexion Of the Hemp
field Railroad to West Newton.
From he WuShtngt0n Reporter.


A meeting of the citizens of Somerset
township was held on last Thursday,
tor the purpose of taking measures to-
wards finishing the Hemptield Rail
road from Washington to West Newton,
connecting with the COnnellsville Kali
road. We understand that move tS
being made by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company towards securing
the releases of damages along the line,
and that the people are unanimously
willing to give up all claims for dam
ages. 1t Is unnecessary to argne the
benefits of the completion OF this road,
not only to this county but to the COM
pAny controlling the road. The fol
lowing resolutions were adopted at the
meeting referred to:
Resolved, That whilst We are gratitied
with the present probable seCurement
OF the CHARTERS Valley Railroad, yet
we believe that the agricultural, man
ufncturing, commercial and other
growing intsrests ofWashington county
demand the completion of n more di-
rect and extensive railroad commune
cation through her limits, connecting
Baltimore and the other eastern com
mercial cities with the great railroad
enterprises of the west At Wheeling,
West Va.
ReSOLvCd, That the completion Of the
Hemptield railroad from Wheeling to
some suitable point on the Pittsburgh
Il COnnellsville railroad. would afford
such a communication, and would also
be n much nearer route 10 Baltimore
than any railroad north or south. and
giving an easier grade than the Balti-
more IL Ohio Railroad, thus presenting
inducements TO that company to enter
tain the contemplated project IavOra-
bly,.
Resolved. That in view of the great
Importance OF this enterprise, as an adj
dition to, and increase of, the material
wealth of our county, we pledge our
selves to use all proper means to fur
Their its completion, and we urge the
citizens of our county, and especially
those along the prospective lines to
agitate the question earnestly and Wig
OrOusly.
RESOLVED. That we urge the appoint
ment of judicious committee, as soon
as it can be properly done, to confer
with the President OF the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the conditions
upon which the aid and influence OF
that company can be procured.
