The Baltimore and Ohio Inviting Pro-
pOsals for Work on the Line
fnaIfftnora Sun

baltimore sun.
Mr.. II. T. Douglass, chief engineer Of the
Philadelphia branch Of the Baltimore and
Ohio, has advertised for proposals for the
graduation and masonry on 81 miles Of the
Maryland and 33 miles Of the Delaware divi-
sion. The work is to be laid off in one-mile
sections, and the proposals asked are from
the third to the 10Th section in Maryland, ,and
from the fifth to the 37th section in Delaware,
which will cover the distance between the
Susquehanna and Wilmington. The 81
miles in Maryland, commencing three miles
east Of Baltimore, will extent to within six
or seven miles of Havre de Grace Watson's
Island, where the Susquehanna will be
bridged, 10 opposite Perryville, and hardlya
mile from the Philadelphia, Wilmington
81 Baltimore railroad bridge. So far as
known, the bridge will be a suspension, at
least in part, though the efforts ofparties in
terested in the development of Hartford have
not relaxed their efforts for crossing higherup.
The grade which will be secured by higher
crossing is an important consideration for
the railroad. The crossing higher up pre-
sents more difficulties on the Cecil than 1t
does on the Hartford side, whereas the Wat
sons Island crossing affords excellent facil.
ities on the Cecil side and facilities for a
beautiful sweeping curve. Abundant
material for masonry and abutments is to
Dc uhu III WlldL hI0 huOWIl uos bHC OTb DC-
posit quarrieS, and there are q number of
localities where it may be made desirable to
open other quarries to supply the large
demand for this railroad construction.
The proposals are to be received until June
10, and 10 days after bids are accepted the
contractors are required to be ready for
work. Prior to this business preliminary,
the announceme that the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad had effected loan of twelve
millions of dollars in England, and the set
tlement of the Jersey Central question
quickly following that important financial
transaction, indicated sufficiently the
steady purpose of President Garrett
to secure a New York outlet So
much of the season favorable
to railroad construction was allowed to
glide by this year, however, without begin
ming of active operations, that many we're dis
posed to consider that another year at least
would elapse before the work was begun. The
building of line to connect three of the
great cities of the tlantic coast-such as
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York-hav-
ing already au established railroad route,
involves many details which must be ma
turely considered before spade is put into
the ground. Those who have watched the
development Of Mr.. Garrett's plans In this
particular appreciate the difficulties of the
situation. For more than a year, however,
there has been no seeming relaxation of
purpose, and nearly all the preliminary
work has been quietly and steadily prose-
cuted by able and competent agents.

Verdict in the signature Case-A Three
Hours Argument by Mr.. Bradford.
Upon the re-assembling of the Superior
Court yesterday afternoon verdict was re-
turned in the case Of State Of Delaware, vs..
Thomas Bratton, et al. The jury declared
the name of William L. Reynolds on the
bond as unmistakably his signature. The
argument, In the case of Anthony Reybold
VS.. George A. Parker of Boston, Samuel M.
FELTON, of Thurlow, and Samuel Harlan,
Jr., and Jesse Lane, deceased, late of VIII
mington, was continued after the jury had
been discharged. The plaintiff has brought
suit to recover damages on steamboat con-
tract alleged to have been violated by the
defendants and it is claimed that three Of
the defendants, Messrs. FELTON,,
Harlan and Lane are barred by
the statute of limitations. As
the alleged violation occurred In 1867
and action was not brought until 1874, Mr..
Bradford held that the absence OF Mr..
Parker, who was out of tina State, did not
debar action on the remaining parties.
Mr.. Bradford delivered a three hour argu-
ment in support of his position. quoting
numerous authorities. The question oc-
cAsions considerable interest among attor
neys, as 1t is the first time 1t has ever been
raised In our courts.
Attorney General Gray represents the de-
PENDANTS in the action.
Court at 6 O'Clock adjourned until 10
O'Clock this morning. Argument for new
trial in the case OF State VS.. Patrick Lynch
will be heard to-day. Lsre and Emmons

Battalion Doings.

The special drill of the battalion in the
armory last evening, was not what the
Major had right to expect. In commence
ment of the evenings exercises, A Co. was
late and kept the battalion waiting The
Major then took occasion to remark that OF
all the commissioned officers absent not one
had seen fit to offer an excise, and that
hereafter any officer being absent without a
proper notification to the Major will be
fin d. The drill was then taken up. A
Co., under command of Lieutenant Smith,
who by the way vas the only commissioned
officer of the company on hand,
was tle largest company. Co. came next
with Lieutenant Kane in command, Captain
Munda and Lieutenant Babcock being
absent; Co. came next with CAPTAIN Kice
in command, Lieutenant Wickersham being
excused on account OF a slight indlsposition,
aud Lieutenant Hart acting as Adjutant.
Sergeant Major Weller was also absent.
The drilling consequently was poor. Act
ing Adjutant Hart read battalion orders for
Memorial Day, directing the men to report
TO their several companies at 1870 promptly.
The First Regiment Band will report to the
Adjutant at 1.45 o'clock, .

The Mother of Charlie Ross.

A correspondent of the Pittsburg Advocate
reports these words as falling from the lips
of Charlie Ross's mother at an experience
meeting:
Long ago I consecrated my all to God,
and learned to lean upon Him as no other
sister here has ever been called to do. Short
ly after my conversion GOD gave me snch
burden to bear for all my life as only God
could enable me to bear. 1t is unlike any of
your burdens, for no one OF you can sym
pathize with me in my experience. One
lady here may say, I lost my only child,
and through the affection L was led
so and So; another one says: Sister 1
know all about your trouble, for death came
to me and took mine also and perhaps ev-
eryone here has been afflicted in a similar
way. But l awake often in the morning
and think the burden is too heavy; it will
crush me before the day closes! but l
turn to my Father in heaven for strength,
and he always grants it, Why this great
weight OF sorrow was given me l shall never
know in this world-perbaps l ought not to
know-but | have never, through it all,
never. lost my trust in God. 1t is all that
sustains me, and l believe that i'll some way
I don't know how-it is for good"
