tafy. M Borst, president of the Washing

being called upon addressed The meeting,
stating that their charter gave them the
privilege of building q railroad at any point
opposite the District of Columbia, and that
now they proposed to begin the work at this
end Of the line, and the question was how
much ought Georgetown TO subscribe. Mid
dleburg has subscribed 81 900, Falls Church
$4,000, and Harrisonburg $1,000. Mr.. Borst
then went on to state that the road passed
through one of the richest agricultural and
mineral sections of the country, i'm Rappa-
hammock dounty, Page county, Rockingham
was concerned they could either cross ON the
projecting piers of the Aqueduct bridge or on
the ''talked of bridge at the "Three Sisters"
passengers and freight would have to be paid
but that time would be gained i'm using that
structure. He then spoke of the advantages
the road would bring to the town, that itwould
bring 100000 bushels wheat annually, and
coal for one cent per ton per mile, and thus
reduce our gas bills-.'Its a contamination
devoutly to be wished"-and iron for seven
Per ton per mile if its demand were equal to
their capacity. That our idle warehouse
would be in use, and business men have
something to do, and all property advanced
IN value. He stated that properly in Har-
risonburg had already advanced % per cent.
That If the necessary subscriptions were
raised the work could be completed to Falls
Church in so working days. The matter was
still under consideration when our report
closed.

TRAPPIsr MONKS + oR BALTIMORE
About nine months ago Brother Francis Xa-
vIel was sent TO this country by the general
OF the order OF Trappists, with Instructions
10 select and purchase a suitable plot of
ground for the erection of a monastery for a
branch OF the brotherhood in America. After
some delay Brother Francis secured desir-
able piece OF property about three miles from
Baltimore, where the new mona stery is to be
erected. Last September the farmhouse,
barns, &C., on the property which Brother
Francis had purchased were prepared for the
temporary housing OF the monks. pending
the erection of the new friary, as about one
hundred OF them expected to be sent here
toward the end of November. Brother Fran
els will probably become prior or abbot of
the new cofony of friars. Among the hum
dred monks selected for the new mission
tailors, cabinet makers, carpenters, masons,
weavers and skilled agriculturists. The
order does not live on charity; it is not
only self supporting, but reaps large incomes
The rules of this brotherhood are the most
ascetlc OF all the monaStic orders. They
sleep on the floor, rise to pray at midnight,
go through the form of digging their own
graves as a reminder OF death; preserve I'M
broken silence from year To year, use neither
nsn: meat, milk, eggs, nor anything except
vegetables, bread and water Pure milk. but
yer, peer and well-reared meats are proven
DAILY found on the lowest remunerative
prices at the monasteries of the Trappists. a
few OF the monks are privileged to transact
OUTSIDE business, and for these, of course
me stringent 1nJunctiOns of perpetual silence
anu otner severe obligations are dispensed
WITH. OF the 100 monks who are now on
tneif way to this country equal numbers
nave been selected from the monasteries of
NAL MaIi ;S IN Turkey, Mount Military in
naru IN Belgium. They will be expected to
conserve the rules of their order as far as
practicable while travelling. On reaching
here they win be taken in charge by Brother
