BALTIMoRE AND ONO RAILROAD IMPROVE
MENTs.-A THIRD TRACK, &o-Upwards of
one thousand laoorers and mechanics are now
employed between the Point of Rocks and
Piedmont in constructing third track, in
tended to be used by the Metropolitan Branch
of the road. This third track when compe-
ed will be seventy-two miles in length, and
will be finished during the present year. The
construction of this extra track has become
indispensable from the continuous increase of
the coal trade, and will not only greatly IA
cilitate the tonnage, but will materially aid
in the development of the largely increased
Passenger business OF the road. During the
past two weeks the rush of passengers west
car ward bound has been SO great that an extra
has been attached to the fast trains, and yes
terday two extra passenger coaches had to be
added to the fast line. There are now two
hundred and twentythree miles of continu-
Gus double track in use by the road, extend
ing from this city TO Altamont, and many
miles more at intervals between Altamont and
Parkersburg, and the time is not tar distant
when the entire line viii have n double track
The Metropolitan road has progressed to such
a degree that trains will be running over il
before the close of the next month.-Baiti-

the next twenty is TO make the same snai-like

the time the year 1898 arrives little go
aheaditiveness now, however, will make am
