LETTER FROM BALTIMORE.


BALTIMORE September Goth, 1877.
Wehaveh had comparatively quiet week. There
have been no murders and only one suicide thus
far. The weather has beer warm and pleasant
with good general health prevailing. There still
continues good deal of stir among politicians of
all parties and factions. The great contest, how
ever, will be narrowed down to the Workingmen
and Democrats. The Independents and Peoples
Party to great extent are likely to vote with the
Workingmen. This will also be the case with a
very considerable portion OF the Republicans who
not much inclined to make nominations Of their
own. The Fulton-Thomas "ring" don't seem to
have enough electricity to galvanlze them into ef-
fective working. They must either hang on to the
skirts of outsiders or abandon their batteries and
accept "HObson's choice" Nothing at present
is uncertain than tt result in October at the
municipal election So may it be in November

IA Poem" "A correspondent of the Reisterstowr
Peoples Voice visited Towsontown on the Sd inst
to attend the Democratic convention and tells o
his trip in verse; as follows:
If you'll give us the space it is our intention
To speak of a trip of few days ago,
When without any breakfast we went to convention
Which was held in town few miles away
Towsont'n you know is the seat of our county,
Seven miles from the city, you reach it by rail,
To make the trip through is worth large bounty
To describe allits horrors would make man quail
We stepped in the and there broke on our vision
sight, which of course we will never forget
Five delegates lacking their morning provision
L never saw such hungry old SET
Well, we got to ecity of the 'far famed" "Union
We took turn round on side avenue,
Wesmelled something good, very Ikea communion
But the door it was painted, we couldn't sd
through.
We then held a caucus, and then took another
mean walk round by the same painted door:
We held q long talk with political brother,
And soon our election with one or two more.
We then started home and finished our journey
In the city which sports the Magooslin brass band
On Saturday night they woke Mr.. Forney,
As theyplayed 'Hail Columbia," and "God Saw
our Land"
Oh, men of the Fourth, the county is moving,
One party of course must always be beat,
To we who h won don't stop in improving,
But endeavor to move the old county seat.
We refrain on accor 1t of Bro. Longnecker,
No doubt he'll propose as thenext move in han,
To raise the court house on York double deckt,
And let it go round to each town in the land.
A very good thought if his paper could follow,
And print what attorneys and other folks sal;
But alas, what he prints lawyers only can swallO,
1t will not go down with n E. d.

NARaOW-GAUcER RAILROAD MEETING
DELTA, YORK COUNTY, PA.


J0WS0NTOWN, september Z0tn, 1871.
On the 22d inst. quite large and enthusiastic
meeting of the friends of the proposed narrow
gauge railroad from Delta to Baltimore was held
at the above named place. Themeeting was called
to order by Mr.. McConkey, of York county, and
the following gentlemen selected as officers Pres
ident, M. McConkey, OF YOrk county; vice pres
idept, Joseph Parry, Nathan Grafton and Evans
S. Rogers, of Hartford county; secretaries Joseph
NJ. Street and P. II. Howard, of Hartford. S. A.
Archer, of Hartford county, Mr.. Boyd, of York
county, and Chas E. Fendall, of Baltimore coun-
ty, addressed the meeting. Among the gentlemen
present noticed Mr.. Wallace, Mr.. Manifold Mr..
Jones and Mr.. RAINBOW, Of York county; VIM. II.
Walters, John S. Dallam, John j. STREET., j. p.
STREET., II. Wilson, DIR. Wysong and DIR. Hayward,
of Hartford county; Henry Record, of Baltimore
county, and many others who have a lively inter
est in the proposed road.
Delta is the termini of what is known as the
York and Delta Narrow Gauge Railroad, over
which your correspondent on Saturday last had
the pleasure of trip. The country from FORK to
Delta is certainly not very inviting except to those
who are fond of picturesque scenery. The roads
unquestionably very crooked, but nevertheless you
glide along at the rate of twenty miles per hour
with as much ease and comfort as you can over
broad gauge road. Mr.. Manifold, one of the di-
rectors of said road stated to your correspondent
that the road had carried twenty-one thousand
people this season, on excursions alone, and that
the road was doing exceedingly well.
If a road from York to Delta will pay, after a
casual view of the country through which passes,
and knowing the section through which the con-
templated road will pass, l have not the slightest
doubt but what the revenue from the proposed
road, when constructed will exceed that of the
present York and Delta line at least five times
All those in the vicinity of Towsontown who still
indulge in the forlorn hope of broad-gauge road
/ advise to take trip over the narrow gauge road
from York to Delta and then tell us the superiori
ty of broad gauge over q narrow gauge, if they
can. Il.
The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1877-09-29

tom Narrow. Gauge Railway occurred about Is
miles from York on Thursday of last week. The
tain had some seven hundred Sunday School
scholars on board, bound from Delta to Spring
wood, where they were to picnic. Just as the
the track aud plunged down an embankment II
feet high. By the sudden stop the platforms of
several of the cars were jambed together ond bro
ken off. Two boys who had been standing on
one of the platforms, were crushed to death. Two
other boys had each a leg broken, while number
