Railroad Notes.-The Baltimore Sun
says that the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
road has cut off the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Shenandoah Valley and Western
MARYLAND Roads from its connections for
the White Sulphur and other Virginia
springs travel this summon. Passengers
will only be tickoted through via Wash
ington, the Virginia Midland Road and
the Chesapeake and Ohio, which will get
the longer haul anG the most Of the pass
age money by that route. This policy
will have the effect Of shutting OF some
OF the usual travel to the springs. The
Baltimore and Ohio and Western Mary
land are doing energetic work in pressing
the agreeable resorts on their own lines
to popular attention, and will 10 doubt Go
satisfactory business. The Baltimore
and Ohio has the exclusive right for
Wednesday excursions to Luray al sum-
mer via the Shenandoah Valley Road.
These arc to be limited express, parlor
car, and reserved scat affairs from Balti-
moro and Washington. When 200 tickets
are sold at Baltimore and $50 ut Washing
ton the box-oflce will be closed for that
trip.

posed to extend the Washington and West
