The Fight still Going on Between
the Baltimore 4 Ohio and the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
BALTIMORE April 5.-The railroad war
drags its slow length along, and, so far as
Baltimore is concerned, has been prOduc-
tive Of little or NO excitement for some
weeks, The attempt Of the Pennsylvania
Company to carry he war into Africa, as
they term il, by their recent move at Har-
per's Ferry, has not been rewarded, so
far, with any substantial degree Of sue.
cess. That COmpany's officials have not
been discouraged, however, and on Satur-
day seYeral hundred more "War bulletins"
we're sent to the special agent At HarPer'S
Ferry, the frst supply having run out.
The Pennsylvania people think that at.
ter their low rates 10 Western points are
fully advertised throughout the Valley OF
Virginia the bulk Oftravel from that Sec
ton to the West will go via the Baltimore
4 Ohio to Washington and thence over
the Pennsylvania route to destination.
The Baltimore 4 Ohio officials, on the
other hand, say they do not apprehend
that anything Of the sort will occur. II
is true, they say, that they have not cut
passenger rates at HarperI Ferry, but
Western passengers from that point can
easily avail themselves OF the reduced
rates prevailing ut Baltimore, and thus
travel cheaper, with tickets good until
used, than by the Pennsylvania line, with
tickets good for only twenty-lour or forty
eight hours. For instance, the HarpeFs
Ferry passenger for Chicago can send to
Baltimore and procure ten-dOllar ticket
for that place instead OF paying the local
fare Of three dollars to Washington, suffer
the trouble and inconvenience OF transfer.

there, andthen pay eight dollars via the
Pennsylvania road, making his fare eleven
dollars in all, The Baltimore 4 Ohio Of
fcials also claim to have recently secured
a number Of passengers for the West at
York, Pa, and at Harrisburg. They state
that they ticketed one lot Of ten for De-
Catur, ILL.,, who came from York via the

fare between New York aud Baltimore to
the cut rates Of the company from this
city to the other cities named. Tickets
via the Baltimore q Ohio to Chicago can
still be purchased cheaper in New York
than by the Erie, but to other points the
latter company will, on and after to-mor.'

those Of the Baltimore & Ohio. This
fact will probably interfere somewhat
