lhat what the Baltimore and OHIO railroad
wants with the Consolidation road is NOT
only 10 stlp coal To tse eastern market. but
10 divert that shipment entirely 10 ftself
rom the Chesapeake and OHIO canal, thus
enectually Gripping the canal aud making
III an Idle non- feeder 10 the coal regions The
same paper states that the Baltimore ana
oh1o railroad purchases every SHARE OF Con-
solidstion Offered In the market and thew
may thus eventually attain control OF the
Cor Solidstlon road; IN which event the
AHeQd,siDl argues, the canal stock and bond
holders Will gain no ducats from their long
lime investments In that narrow inland sea
Aud, therefore, IL advises that tue canal
holders build railroad which shall De as
similar feeder 10 The canal as the Console

q cheaper and more efiectual plan would be
for the canal owners 10 buy the Consolidated
