The Maryland Central to be Controlled
by the Baltimore & Ohio.-The Sun, in its
issue of Thursday. gave as a rumor what The
UNION published last week as fact, viz, that
the first and second mortgage bonds of the Mary
land Central r. r. Company, held by the Zel
estate had been sold and that paper states further
what was also known for more than week, that
the B. 0. R. R. Company was presumed to
have been the purchaser of this block of bonds.
There seems to be no longer any doubt that this
is true and that the B. & O. has secured enough
of the bonds of the Maryland Central, in addition
to those belonging to the Zell estate, to control
the affairs of the company.
The object of this move, says the Sum- sis to
give the BALTIC. and Ohios Philadelphia and New
York branch an entrance into Baltimore without
going to the enormous expense of building an
elevated road from the eastern limits to the cen
tire of the city. 1t was said that the Maryland
Central would be made broad gauge road that
tracks would be laid from somewhere in the neigh
borhood of Relay Station, the B. & O., to con-
meet with the Maryland Central few miles from
the city, and that connection would be made with
the Philadelphia and New York Branch from
Beair, or some point nearer Baltimore.
"The Maryland Central has charter right west
of the west bank os Jones's falls to Gay street.
This right it was said, could be made of great
benefit to the Baltimore and Ohio, it would
enable that road to enter the city in competition
with the Pennsylvania system.
cit may be matter of interest to- the large
number of creditors of the Maryland Central to
know what effect this change would have upon
their claims, it is held by many that recent de-
cisions of the higher courts give bills for supplies
precedence any other Indebtedness and make
them first lien on all property of the company"
A Fortunate and Exciting Runaway
On Monday, 4th inst, Mr.. Boston Fear, who lives
