GETTYSBURG AND WASHINGTON RAILROAD.
Visit of President Fuller--False Reports from
Frederick Authoritively Denied.

Col. J. C. Fuller, president, and a. E.
| Lehman, chief engineer, of the Gettysburg
and Washington Railroad, spent Friday night
| of last week in Westminster, and were called
| upon by a number of citizens. Col. Fuller
| conversed freely concerning his plans for the
construction of the line. The survey of the
! direct line which runs about eight miles west
of this city, is approaching completion and
| the estimated cost comes within the limit OF
the figures set as the contingent upon which
the construction of the road will be under
taken. Mr.. Lehman states that he will be
ready to run the line proposed to Westminster
in about two weeks, and Col. Fuller says that
he will strain point to bring the road by this
city If a practical route can be found. lie Is
strongly impressed with the advantages of
this line in business point of view. The
road, he says, will be built if the people along
the line will subscribe 50, 900 per mile to the
stock. The distance from Gettysburg TO
Washington by the direct route already sur
veyed, will be from seventy-siX to eighty miles
and if the Westminster route IS selected,
about six miles longer.
Col. Fuller was informed that it was not
probable that $500 could be raised for the
survey via this city. and he said that If $1,000
were raised the company would bear the ad.
ditional expense. This amount was promised
and the committee who some weeks ago
secured subscriptions intended to make col
lections on Wednesday. On Monday re-
port was sent from Frederick to the Balti-
more San that the Pennsylvania Line Road
had concluded to offer their road to the Get
tysburg and Washington Road. On Nednes-
day the following appeared in the Baltimore
american:

Big Arrears of Pension.

The pension office granted Richard Whiting
a pension of S24 per month on account OF
nervous prostraJion and impairment of the
mind. This allowance was subsequently in.
creased to $50 per month. At still later
date the pension was reduced to S. per month
through an error made by a surgeon who ex-
amiued the pensioner. Upon application the
case has been reopened, and under decision
of Assistant Secretary Bussey, of the Interior
Department. the pensioner has been granted
an allowance of So per month and pension
arrears from the date of his discharge, in
1865, at the rates provided in the several act'
of Congress enacted from time to time. Hi'
arrears will aggregate about $l2, 1000.
