No MORE RoUND-TRIP TICKETs.-The Mary
land Central Railroad on Monday discontinued
the sale of roundtrip tickets. and increased the
price of family tickets 25 per cent. The fare
between Bel Air and Baltimore is IS cents each
way. The reason given for the increase in
price of fare, is that the new management found
pressing Indebtedness upon the company which
must be liquidated, portion of it the present
year, and needed repairs must be made to the
road to put it in condition for the increasing
business. Much dissatisfaction is expressed at
this action, and while the public roads continue
good many persons who have conveyances of
their own will doubtless find it cheaper TO
drive to one of the stations on the p, W. and b.
Railroad, where round-trip tickets can be pro-
cured at reduced rate. ... ...
