Jones stepson, young Williams, spent the

FUTURE OF THE CANAL.
What is Said of the ELL Filed Here
Yesterday.

The bill for appointment of a receiver for the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal mentioned else
where in The STAR was filed about 345 o'clock
pm, and was at once placed in the hands of
Judge Cox.
The people in Washington who are
specially interested in the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal seem to know nothing
whatever about the legal proceedings.
The well-known law firm of Morris < Hamil-
ton. who are the attorneys for the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, are ignorant as the
rest on the subject Mr.. Morris said
to STAR reporter this afternoon that he knew
actually nothing ABOUT the matter except what
he had read in the Baltimore pa
pers, but that his idea was that
while the Baltimore and Ohio road might be in
favor of such move they were not actively
pressing it.
Mr.. Jas. G. Berrett, one of the directors for
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, was likewise
utterly Ignorant of tho proceedings when APP
preached by the reporter.
THE MILLERs AND COAL MEN
in Georgetown, who, owing to their situa-
ton, have been especially interested in the
canal had only heard vague rumors
concerning the new step in the
matter. There seemed general preponder-
ance OF sentiment in favor of keeping the
canal as waterway and not changing it
to railroad. Their supply of
water, whatever happens, they consider as
assured to them. No matter into whose
hands the canal passes arrangements
will be made to continue this
supply even if it is necessary to form a water
supply company and purchase that part Of
the canal necessary for that purpose.
ADVANTAGES OF THE WATERWAY.
"The canal" said Mr.. Robert Tenney, lis of
the greatest benefit to Georgetown and the
District of Columbia 1t is used
not only as a common carrier,
but also for the large amount of money spent
by the men at this place every year. Each
boat buys $40 worth of provisions alone
right here in Georgetown each trip it
makes. Then as a carrier a canal is of the
greatest use in any state. The grain trade in
New York city shows this, where the receipts Of
grain during the seven months of canal
traffic was ESQ per cent more than by rail
You may say that l am in favor of any
plan which will put the canal in a
water way on it's feet again" The canal should
be separated entirely from politics and run as a
business affair and carried on in that manner.
There is no reason why it should not pay a con-
siderable profit on the investment"
There is general talk in Georgetown of the
formation of corporation to purchase the
canal and run it as q business venture.
