Hp,d Phitndelphin,
The Baltimore d Ohio Railroad Com
pany NJ nday started freight trains on the
new Philadelphia division, between Phil
adelplia and Baltimore. An official of
the company said on Saturday that
freight for Baltimore and Philadelphia
will he carried. but that for the present
the arrangements are not complete for
handling local freights between stations.
Under the arrangement heretofore with
the Pennsylvania road, the Baltimore u
Ohio only sent through eastern and west
ern freight traffic between New York and
Baltimore. Now the Baltimore a. Ohio
is prepared to take freights over its own
line for or from Baltimore or Philadel-
phia. This is new business which the
Baltimore e. Ohio seeks as the competitor
Of the Pennsylvania. A local passenger
train between Baltimore and this city is
to be put on in few days.
The Baltimore Sun says: The Balti-
more Il Ohio New York freights are being
carried between Baltimore and New York
by the Ericsson propeller lines by way of
| the canals. The boats load and discharge
ut Locust Point, and have been doing so
since last Wednesday, when the arrange
nient was made with the Baltimore Il
Ohio. In Philadelphia the railroad COM
pany employs barges to carry the freight
cars from waterfront stations around to
| the tracks at its Schuylkill bridge, where
| the trains will be made up. The freight
| traffic between Baltimore aud Philadelphia
| is important, and the Baltimore a. Ohio
are seeking share of il at the same time
that the new line Is used to move the
through frrights between Philadelphia
| and the west. Tho Baltimore q Ohio will
have its line in Philadelphia so far COM
pleted by October as to be in shape to
commence through New York rail traffic.
The following details as TO freight are
given by the Baltimore Herald: West

/ delphia on the Delaware river front az
