with the same amount Of money he expended In
Indiana, he would not have lost anything but

Democraf. referring to the Maryland Central Rail-
road, says: "The report Of the directors shows
that the citizens Of Baltimore county, and those
Of the city having business In the county, apprc.
ciatc the advantages Of the road. During the six
months Of last year. by actual computation, no
less than ~ 600 Of them passed over the road and
paid into the company's treasury S2l 800. The
total receipts Of the road from earnings from all
sources. average Of ten miles. for six months
was S2t.O or At the rate Of $4,000 . year
With the road completed 10 Belair the earnings
must exceed hundred thousand dollars. and
when completed 10 Delta will be In excess Of $780,
OOO. at a very moderate estimate. Allowing one
half of these amounts TO be consumed in working
expenses. aud we have. with the road at Belair. n
surplus Of S36 600 with which 10 pay the interest
the bonds aud n margin Of $4,000, and with
the road at Delta the working expenses and in
tcrest on the bonds paid and surplus Of So. 900
with which TO build On.houses, sidings, make
improv vements. increase the equipment aud pay
for such other expenditures as the road may re-
quire. With this showing, and II Is fairly de-
duciblc from what has already been done, Il IL
reasonably certain the road will be safe aud will
pay all pressing demands when il reaches Belair
aud will have q handsome annual surplus after IL
reaches Delta. Hence the Importance TO the COM
pany az well a. TO the people Of having the road
pushed to the Delta terminus as speedily as pos
sible. This We are informed will be done
as the present contract terminus Forest Hill. has
been reached. When that will be Il dependent
almost entirely on the weather. Al this time the
contractors are engaged in framing and building
tres,les At aud near the Little Falls. They can
do that but slowly and nothing else. Track lay

snow and frost cucumber the ground. II there
Is open weather in March such preparations as
they can now make for spring work will enable
them TO push the construction with vigor and
with reasonable certainty of reaching Bclair early
in May and Forest Hill few weeks later. To
reach these points sooner u now Rn impOssibi!ty,
good work and judcious economy considered.
