SURVEY FOR THE BALTIMORE BELT LINE.
| A PLAN THAT WILL LESSEN THE NEED VI
ny FERRY

TRANSPORTATION BY FERRY.
Baltimore, Feb (specaD.-En- ineers arc now
surveying the route Of the proposed Belt Line around
this city wheh VIII afford the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company a closer connection between It's
Washington and Philadelphia lines. There has been
considerable talk Of late In railroad circles about this
scheme The projectors Of the line mostly friendly
TO Baltimore and Ohio interests though they say that
the Northern Central and the Pennsylvania Railroad
generally VIII be equally benefited with the Baltimore
and Ohio. II IS understood that the Belt Line Will
begin at the Baltimore and Ohio stock yards, west Of
this city, and connecting dect with the Baltimore
and Ohlo's main line and extending along the north
western limits Of the city, touch the Pennsylvania
stock yards then connect with the Maryland Central
Railroad, which runs to Delta Penn. and Is to be
extended to the susquehaDna River, and thence east
wardly 10 the Baltimore and Oho's Philadelphia line,
at Bayview station. The Northern Central
is tapped about a mile north OF Union
station. The Belt Line after crossing
the baltimore and Ohio extends TO tho grain elevators
at Canton, on the Patapsco River The Baltimore
and Ohio people viii not say anything about their
interest in the Belt Line but it looks like big move
on their part to get around the city and thus avoid
sing the harbor ferry 10 make connection
with the New-York and Philadelphia extension. SO
long as they continue the ferry system, the Pennsyl
vania, by It's tunnels under the city, will have to
quickest route between Washington and NewYork
The Belt Line WILL no doubt he constructed with the
general under landing that It Will offer equal facilities
70 the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio and soon
after It IS in operation tho Baltimore and Ohio will
absorb It.
The same capitalists backing the Belt Line VINO
have reorganzed the Maryland Central Road which
Will be changed TO broad gauge road and probably
extended 20 a connection with the 'Readng. The
Same syndicate that constructs the Belt Line and
reoIganizes the Maryland Central has purchased
the YorK and Peach Bottom Railroad, which from
York, Penn, to Peach Bottom, on tho Susquehanna

INSPECTING THE BURNED CALUMET NINE.

Calumet, Mich, Feb. six mining captains went
under ground in the Calumet Mine last night They
found that the fire had extended downward 500 feet
from the starting point making the total depth Of the
burned district 2,1O0 feet. This Is disappointment
to the managers, as they felt confident that IL would
not burn down at all. The experiment OF letting the
fire in the mine burn has proven that the forcing
down of carbonic gas saved the mine below where
the fires started in former fires.
