Mr. c. c. Lancaster, Of Washington city,
acting IN behalf Of the large interests involv-
"A addressed letter last week 10 II. II Carter,
.u e intendeut Ofthe Maryland Division Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, on the subject Of the
extension Of the Pope's Greek Branch Of the
Il fillmore and Potomac Railroad to Rock
Point. on the Wicomico bay. With the
latter we're alsn transmitted petitions,
.igned most numerously by business houses
in Baltimore and Washington and l. ,ding
citizens. farmers and lsnters o t and
II Narv's county urging the building Of the
ax en.ion. It is proposed that the extension
shall commence about two miles below Cox g.
station. and run ia direct line distance OF
,bout eighteen miles to Rock Point. The
s,.t win be comparatively small rs the
country is level and well timhcred Mr.
Lancaster says that Rock Point is the &c t
harbor and landing on the Potomac river,
with "a depth Of water from fifteen to twenty
five feet. There is no danger from ice, as the
pre,ent wharf hss been there fifteen years.
The largest oyster business on the Potomac
il carried on on the Wicomico bay, and ship
ments made to Washington, Bal imorc, Nor
fox and New York. A steam canning estlb-
n.bment, employing $50 to 200 men, and
Eve or six large stores are located at Rock
Point. This winter, as in many other win
tiers. Nv reason OF the ice all navigation on
the upper Potomac is cut of. All the trade
when is interrupted could 20 to Rock Point
and thence by rail TO Washington and Bati
more. and the Norfolk and New York team
er, could make their terminus there. The VI
rnty Of Rock Point, he says, is also particu-
larly adapted for summer resorts, and the
proposed extension would place within easy
reach Of lie people Of Washington the adyan
tsges Of salt water bathing, fishing, Grabbing,
e.. and excursion trains could be made to
plv fom Washington as well as Baltimore
Mr. Lancaster says the people in all that sec
ton Of Maryland are thoroughly and deeply
interested in the extension.
