The Canal Situation.

me CdnuI otuuUU.
The situation in reference to the G.
and O. Canal is this: The bond
holders of 1878 filed a bill asking for
the appointment of receivers or the
sale of the canal. The bondholders
of 1874 filed bill asking for the APP
pointment Of receivers. These two
bills of complaint were consolidated.
Then the State came in as party to
the case and filed an answer resisting
the appointment of receivers. Judge
Alvey, acting upon the bills of com
plant, appointed receivers. These
receivers reported, and according to
that report nothing remains to be
done but to sell the canal. Under
the constitution it requires the action
of two Legislatures to consummate q
sale. The court has now to decide
the question whether the Legislature
can do indirectly by executing a
mortgage what it could not do
directly. Probably the State has an
undoubted right to ask for the fore
closure of its mortgage, but that it
has not formally done. The canal
company has filed a petition for a
hearing. and the court has set the
hearing down for the 18th Of August.
Probably something may come out OF
that hearing. The State, we are ad-
v.sed, will through the attorney
general, also shortly take steps to pro-
cure a sale. In the meantime the
gentlemen who are indulging in res
olutions addressed to the court have.
in our judgment, been guilty OF a
decided breach of good taste. Judge
Alvey is distinguished above all
things for his prompt, able and con-
scientious discharge Of duty, and our
people can rely upon this without res
olutions. We hear some talk OF
active measures by the Washington
and Cumberland Railroad Company
about opening books of subscrip.
ton and taking other steps prepare
tory to buying in the canal when the
day OF sale comes. Indeed there is
rumor that it will not wait for the
day OF sale, but will at once proceed
to the condemnation of the towpath.
| This we do not credit. The towpath
is in the hands of the court, and
there it will stay until the proceed
ings in the case are in some manner
ended. This, according to our com
putation, will be in the year 1915
As far as the Washington and Cum
berland Railroad is concerned, We be
lieve it stands upon the same footing
with any other railroad corporation
which can be formed in an hour and
which will be in a position to bid
against the Washington and Cumber
land. The legislation Of last winter,
by which it was ATTEMPTED to fortify
the latter company, we do not doubt
is an absolute nullity.-Hagrstorr

Railroad happenings.


The B. & o. will run another excur-
sion to Atlantic City next Thursday,
the 31st.
The B. g. o. Railroad Company has
been reducing the member of hands
in their shops all along the line, and
all of those retained have been put
on eight hours time. The freight
traffic of the road is said to be dull
now.
An engineering corps of the Shen-
andoah Valley Railroad is surveying
line to Washington.
The Cumberland Valley Railroad
Company isa solid corporation. Last
week at a sale in Carlisle first pre-
ferred stock sold at S94, second pre-
ferred at S93, and the common stock
at S7S-the par value Of each being
$50.
The Clarksburg, Weston and Glen
vile Railroad, narrow-gauge line
running from Clarksburg to Weston,
Lewis county, w. Va, now operated
by the West Virginia and Pittsburg
Railroad, has been changed to a
standard-gauge line, and was Mon
day opened for the interchange of
passenger business with the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad at Clarks-
burg.
About twenty persons went from
Shepherdstown on the excursion to
Gettysburg last Tuesday. They re-
port an extremely pleasant trip.
The Northern Pacific and the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Companies
are to join hands at Chicago and form
a continuous line from ocean TO ocean.
A traffic alliance between the two
roads contemplates transcontlnental
line, and the freight will be run
through without breaking the trains.
Just think of railroad from Jeru-
salem to Jaffa! 1t seems very much
out of place, but nevertheless the
