Relief Department.

The Relief Department of the Ralti-
more and Ohio Railroad COMPANY is one
of the most henefeent arrangements
ever instituted for the protection of en-
pioyees and those dependent upon them,
and thus shows that the trite saying that
corporations have no souls is subject to
exceptions. For the period from May
list, 1880, to 3lst March, 1889, the benefits
paid by the Relief Association of the
Company were: sol cases of accidental
deaths, 1924, 947. 90; "a ,429 cases of aeci-
dental injuries, 1927, 645.47; ID, ?a9 eases of
surgical expenses. $10i ,63s II; 40, 642 cases
of natural sickness, 1915, S36 10, 95S nat
ural deaths, 1854, 220. 23-aggregating ST.
995, 1874. For the period between April
LIST and August Dist, 1889, the payments
under the various heads enumerated
above aggregated $106, s37. 57-making a
total from May 1st, 1880, to August 31st,
1889, of 50, 101, 525.51.
These results speak we'll for the Relief
Department of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company.

Mr.. SCOTS Great Farm.

correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from Cape Charles, Va,
says: Ex-Congressman William L. Scott's
horses, including Chaos, which won the
great purse of 1858, 200, will winter on his
big farm near here. Preparations are
being made to receive them. This town
is largely the creation of the Pennsylva-
mia millionaire. Five years ago he
bought the Governor Tazewell farm. 1t
is splendid estate of over j, 900 acres, and
the price paid was $4,000 Mr.. Scott
has spent nearly that amount upon it's
Improvement, and it is now one of the
best kept and handsomest farms in the
whole South.
The present town of Cape Charles did
not exist when he made his investment
The New York, Philadelphia, and Nor
folk Railroad had just been projected.
1t was to connect with the Delaware di-
vision of the Pennsylvania system. and
afford by large transfer steamers a
through line to Old Point Comfort, Nor
folk and the South, The road was built
by Mr. Cassatt, Mr.. Scott and other cap
italists, and this point, snugly situated
on the Chesapeake Bay few miles from
the tip end of the peninsula, is the ter
minus of the line. Extensive dock ac-
commodations allow the large transfers
of freight and passengers. The town
has about 800 inhabitants. 1t is new,
but progressive. Mr.. Scott has sold lots
enough to pay for his farm, and, as he
owns all the land around the city, his in
vestment has been very lucrative one.
The farm employs several hundred
people. 1t is as neat as the average
park. All the pine woods are clearly
trimmed to height of fully thirty feet,
and whitewashed fences divide the fields.
There is a mile racing track fully
equipped and kept in the best of order.
The land is used almost exclusively for
trucking purposes, and the products of
kale, cabbage and other vegetables, ag-
gregating thousands of barrels each sea-
son, are shipped to New York. The SUI
perintendent is the brother of Congress
man Bayly Browne.
On the estate are the grounds occupied
by the County Fair Association. 1t is
remarkably fine location, being a large
level strip of land along the shore of the
Chesapeake Bay. One can sit in the
grand stand and look at the horse race
and a boat race at the same time, and
see in the distance the big steamers go
ing up and down the bay The fair held
last week was quite success. The great
feature was a tournament in which nine
teen of the best riders of Eastern Virginia
took part. This section boasts of the
best horses outside of Kentucky, and
the riding was about as fine contest of
Workmanship and skill as one could
wish. The grounds near a large city
would be worth thousands a year. AS it
is, Congressman Scott rents them to the
association for $50. But then he has the
honor of being the president of the Fair
Society
