town Mail, in an article on the above subject,
concludes as follows:
Some movement is going on as to the Gums
berland Valley Road, the extension of which
to Martinsburg WILSON be open to travel
but the change in the Presidency of that
Road, heretofore predicted, has not yet been
promulgated. The general impression is,
however, that this will soon be controlled by
the Pennsylvania Central r. R. Company
with the Vice President of that Company as
President.
That this Road will now be extended be-
You'd Martinsburg, is not probable and it is
more likely that any connection between
Haserstown and the valley OF Virginia to the
South which may be found, will be through
the Shenandoah Valley Rrilroad, upon which
work Is being prosecuted beyond Chariestown.
- Work GU this Road is being pushed beyond
Shepherdstown aud, it is said, will be COM
menced on this side of the Potomac in the
sprlnS-the right of way having been mostly
TOAD, some three miles beyond Htgerstown,
where that TOAD crosses the Wiliamsport
pike.
