The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1870-10-20


--Rrom a letter in the Manchester
Gasetto, we take the following:
1t will be satisfactory to note the progress
Of the work on the Parkton and Manchester
Railroad, showing that the President, Man.
ayers and Engineer of the road mean to
carry out the promise that the Iron horse
shall be running over it, or portion Of it
by the FIRST of July next, il the Stockholders
do their duty.
The grading has now been finished from
Parkton, where it connects with the
Northern Central Railroad, to the Summit,
which is three miles, except short distance
through Mr. Relly's property, which can be
finished in one month. The Summit cut
which is nearly halt mile long and thirty.
eight feet deep at the highest point, will re.
quire about five months yet to complete it.
From the summit to the Gunpowder river
which is two miles, the work OF graduation
will be completedby the middle Of October,
except some trestle work crossing deep
rayines where earth cannot be easily pro,
cured. The bridge crossing the Gunpowder
will not be completed before next Spring
The deep cut between the GunpOwder aud
Mr.. Shamberger' mill will be out in another
month. The work thus far has been pushed
with activity. From Mr.. Shamberger's
mill 10 Falkenstine's tannery, there is no
work done, but from this point to Manches'
ter, or to the College, the work is compile.
ted, except treslle work crossing two ra,
vines.
The grading upon the Parkton and Man.
chester Railroad is heavy, and considera,
BILE number of culverts will be required, and
several bridges, the most important of
which will be the one over the Gunpowder
river, which is to be seventy feet high and
one hundred aud fifty feet long, with trestle
work Mt each end of about one hundred feet.
Notwithstanding all this, and the short time
that the work has been in progress, aud at
no time more than sixty men at work, one
third of the road is graded, aud in com.
| pete aud substantial manner.
Messrs. McGeecken, Shower & Co., the
contractors for the completion of the Park.
ton and Manchester Railroad, are operating
finely, aud they mean to complete The work
us speedily as possible, provided they are
at liberty to keep up their force, aud are
ready to increase it il desired.
1t is hoped that the Stockholders and
others, will make every effort in their power
to pay up promptly their instalments, &c,
and surely the work will go on bravey and
an early completion may be looked for.
