Baltimore and Delta Railroad.


The Hartford Democrai Of last week says: "The
directors Of the Baltimore aud Delta Railway
have succeeded In negotiating enough bonds 10

engaged in the purchase Of eross.ties, rails and
rolling stock, and will ms soon rs these are bro.
cured, commence tracklayi ring. The most trouble
they anticipate nov is the purchase of engincs all

nicatcd having n many orders n they can gu for
the next twelve months.
1.-THE grading l. now so far advanced that there
need be no halt when tracklaying IL once com
menced. With this readiness on the part Of the
contractors and the confidence inspired by the sale
Of the bonds, the managers, not without reason.
indulge the hope that the tracklayers will reach
Beiair before the season closes. So much conf
denee have they In the success OF their enterprise
n now conducted, that they rejected the offer Of
New iork capitalists to take the remaining stock
and bonds and complete the road to Delta within
twelve months.

the road within the time specified, but woaid
probably have resulted In the sacrifice Of the stock
