THE RAILROAD QUESTION.
ONE EFFECT OF THE NEW DEAL.

ORb Eff Ell OE 1hh NEW DEAL.
The Baltimore Sun says The double
track Of the Ba.limoIe and Potomac
Railroad TO Washington will, II is said,
De pushed forward 10 completion now,
securing the Pennsylvania Road
double-trick from New York 10 Wash
ington. The Baltimore and OHIO passen
ger trains will still, it is understood, be
allowed TO run over the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore road to New
ork, when the road gets under the con-
troll OF the Pennsylvania Railroad.
1t is intlmated that Messrs. Garrett
and Haven will resign from the board
OF directors oftle Philadelphia Whining
ton aud Baltimore Railroad, and that
the board will be recognized In the in
| terest OF its new managers. The Penn
| sylYania Railroad is to take possess on
Of the Philadelphia Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad on the last day of
July, and one of the probable changes in

| passengers at harles street instead oil, as
| now, part at that depot and part at Pres.
| ldenl street. The freight business NAV

property sold. The advantages Of The
CLailes-street terminus to tho Penu.yl-
Vanla Railroad are that the run can be
made faster than TO President street, on
account Of the slow passage along Can
ton avenue.
Editorally the same paper says: What
will be the ulmate effects OF this trans
action cannot yet be- determined, but il
may be assumed for certain that the
chatter which Col McComo lately oh
tanned for the Delaware and Western
Railroad extension from the Delaware
Legislature, with view to another line
between Baltimore aud Philadelphia, Is
considerably more valuable than il was
few days ago.

spoke in the highest praise OF the man.

thinks 1t is the sentiment OF the Penn.

management cannot DO improved =
The Inference Is that Mr.. Hinckly. who
has been sixteen years at the helm,
Will keep thess and no change be made
whatever. The Philadelphia aud
Wilmington employees, oven the train
men, seemed lnstlnctiyely TO take this
view OF the case, and there was iubi
lee all along the road yesterday al
what they regarded az an escape from
impending dismissal. They SAID "B
