Vice president Caldwell. of tine Nickel-plate,

that the track was in excellent condition. As to
the question Of an early placing of through pas
senger trains the Eickel-plate, he said they
would not be in haste, but would effect a change
as soon as the additional passenger equipments
were ready, which would be within reasonable
time. In order to the accomplishment of this
meVe, number of new passenger coaches
wonld be required, but the road was already
well equipped with locomotives. For the In

were now being constructed, which would be

Road.
Daniel Morrison, of Connersville, Ind, is
spending a few days with friends in this city,
and yesterday stated, in conversation, that he
was a witness to the breaking of ground for the
Baltimore & OHIO road. The day was made q
holiday In Baltimore, and a procession on wheels
was one OF the features of the day. The process
sion was couple OF miles in length, ana every
Industry Of the city represented Charles
Carroll, of Carrolltou who was one Of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence, threw the
first shoveful of dirt and delivered an address
before thousands of people. The work moved
slowly for several years, and not until 1881 was
q locomotive put in service. The ears, prior to
that date were handled by horses. July 4, 1881,
the read was opened to Elicotts Mills,
twelve miles distant from Baltimore. This
was made occasion of another grand
celebration. Mr.. Morrison was one OF the pas
aengers on the frat train over the road. Tue
trip to ElcOtts Mills was made safely, but on
the return to Baltimore the engine exploded.
The engineer and fireman were both sealded and
died from the injuries then received, and several
passengers were injured In jumping from the
cars, which were deuble-deck ears, ana were
much the same proportion as stage coaches OF
that day. This being the only engine the Balti-
more & Ohio people had while 1t was In process
of rebuilding horses were used to haul the cars
between Baltimore and Ellicotts Mills, and one
OF the greatest feats OF that day was the hauling
by one horse, of fifty barrels of -four couple
of cars, from EllicOtts MillR to Baltimore, In
one hour and ten minutes. AT that
sime Batlmoreans only talked of building to the
Ohio river and of then using the river to reach
New Orleans, the trade at that time haing very
1arge berween the cities OF Baltimore and New
Orleans. Only the most sauglIine expectedItO get
the road TO the Ohio river in less than fifty years
But the enterprise at once became popular, and
citizens of Baltimore showed Willingness to aid
the work financially or otherwise. But neces
earily the work through the mountains on to
Cumberland moved slow, vet the friends of the
project lost none of their interest, and for many
years only through the death OF some OF the
original stockholders any of the B. & o.
stock placed on the market, and to a great ex-
tent this remark is applicable to-day.
