special from Philadelphis, Gays: In we'll
informed railroad circles here it is stated
that Charles F. Mayer will bs elected
President of the B. and o. Rsilroad to-day,

the construction of road from this city 20
Staten Island, maxim! the B. and o. in re-
ality what it has bee' long in name, an in
dependent trunk line. AS a line Is pro-
iected already from Twenty-fourth street
and Peuna Avenue to Wayne Junction, and
another line is being constructed from
Elizlbsth, N. j., 10 Staten leland, there
would bs only about 20 miles Of road to
build, which would cost, it is estimated
not over SlO,OOO,OOO. With ample ter
minals at Staten Island, it is believed the
company easily earn the interest on the
cost. Toe construction of the Philadei-
phis exr eusion was deCo1nced as reck'
lsss ea hibition of extravaganza, but IN the
second year the net earnings were large
enough 10 defrsy all expenses OF comp!et-
