THE INTEHkUpTED TRAVEL.


wv w W"F'S'
In consequence Of tho elevRtlng Of the con.
Meeting track around the foot Of the Capitol
grounds with the Baltimore and Ohio and
Orange and Alexandria railroad II became
necessary to make arrangements to transport
the through passengers from point TO point over
the torn up road. Mr. KOOntl has 20 arranged
matters that tne passengers will be transferred
by means OF the Richmond aud fredericksburg
coaches that Ormerly were used for the same
purpose on the Aqua creek boat line. The ar
rAngements for the transporting Of freight have
not yet been completed, but 1t Is probable that II
will be sent via Wine hester, Va, and connect
with the Orange and Alexandria road at StrAs-
burg. This will occasion a long delay In transit,
and probably prove somewhat lnoOnVOUient to
parties shipping goods, but no better arrange
ment1 can DO perfected at this time.
