| There is a company in Baltimore
known as the Union Line of Railway
1t OWNS a tunnel, nearly completed
around the city, and expected either
Garrett or Scott, and III fact both, to
use it, to getthem over to the Philadel
| phia, Wilmington and Baltimore Rail
/ road depot. Garrett has built his
freight line to depot at the ware
houses on Locust Point, and will ferry
them across to Canton. Scott intended
to build an immense elevator on the
Canton Company's property, and give
Baltimore outlet to his road there. -
But he seems to think the Canton Co.,
wants too much money for the place
and the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Company having turned
decidedly pleasant face toward Garrett.
Scott has about determined to use the
road he owns from the Washington
1 H4.z
connection to New York, and avoid
both the. Canton and Wilmington
companies. For along time Mr.. Gar
rett was in doubt whether he would
secure the Wilmington road in his in
terests It seemed as if the company
wanted to treat with Scott, but they
agreed at last to treat with both alike
and carry the cars of either at an equal
rate. Scott at last dernurred to this,
and having road Of his around grew
independent and used it. The Will
mington road must now stick to Carrot
and to SCOTS local station freight
And just here arises 4.ai7-.. ~.
ANOTHER INTERESTING FEATURE.
Mr.. Garrett has good opportunity
and the disposition to use the New
Jersey Southern road, between Balti-
more and New York, owned by the
Jay Gould party. Then he has fran
chise that will let his company all the
way from Baltimore. into Jersey City.
1t is probable that he will build this
road in short time, and thus give us
three competing lines of railroad be-
tween New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, and Washington South of
Washington the Robinson, Malone,
and McCready parties are all working
hand in-glove with Garrett, or for his
interest as against Scott, and the proba
bi2ities are that it will not lie long be,
fore the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company will own or control . through
southern connection, and thus give
TWO BITTERLY COMPETING LINES
south Of Washington to New Orleans.
Mr.. Garrett is working around Wash
lngton from Bladensburg, will connect
the Orange and Alexandria road along
the Valley Of Virginia, and by the East
Tennessee and Virginia road, and others
that he will buy, lease, OF construct, he
will get into New Orleans. This brings
US to -ei. -...
JAY GOULD AND NEW JERSEY SOUTHERN
RAILROAD.
Whatever may ba said of Mr.. Jay
Gould, either as president of the Erie
Railway or stock Speculation, it must be
admitted that he's man of extraordinary
ability. He is why, enduring, tough
reconstructed man, whose physical Or
ganization is not, however, as strong as
his brain require. It is wonder that
he has existed under the mental strain
borne i'll the vast amount Of work he
has undertaken and accomplished. But
he is a man who would die in the
breach his sword had cut rather than
endure the humiliation of defeat. And
this, with the shrewd and deliberate
methods Of his planning, has carried him
to where he is
THE CHIEF OPERATOR OF WALL STREET,
and railroad man that may be ranked
with Vanderbilt, Scott, and Garrett.
By securing the New Jersey Southern
railroad he has worked a connection
with Philadelphia via Sandy Hook
Long Branch, Manchester, thence by the
Camden and Burlington railroad to
Camden From New York they have
the Metropolis, an immense steamer
that carries twenty cars of freight to
Sandy Hook and others of the same
capacity are building. They have
strong boats at Philadelphia that land
from Camden to Chestnut street. From
Manchester the Toms River railroad
connects for Toms river and Barnegat,
and the Tuckerton road also connects
at Writings for Barnegat. From
Atsion, where the New Jersey South
ern makes its deviation for Philadel-
phia, the road goes southerly and ives
terly to Vineland and Bridgeton, and
thence to Bay Side, on the Delaware
bay. From this point they will have to
build powerful. hHg ea3i
STEAMERS TO CROSS THE BAY,
and thence across Delaware and Mary,
land by the Maryland and Delaware
road, its connection, and small trip
the company will build, the New Jcr
sey Southern road will reach the Chesa.
