A bill has been fled in Baltimore city
by some Of the creditors to sell the
Drum Point Railroad. A portion of
the road has been graded in Calvert and
Anne Arundel counties about year
ago and nothing has been done towards
completing the work since, hence the
creditors have taken steps to have it
sold with the hope that some capitalists
may secure it and complete the much
needed enterprise. The completion of
this road will be Of great benefit to the
section of Southern Maryland through
which it passes, and it is therefore to be
hoped that the new step toward putting
it in other hands, than those who have
been triairg with the enterprise for the
past several years. will prove adyan-
tageous.

Once more the single rail railway
track has appeared; this time with cleo

We may look forward hopefully to the
adoption of such a track for elevated
roads sooner or later. The elevated
roads will not then be the unmitigated
nuisance to foot travellers they now are.
The single rail car has one main wheel
in the center. AT each side are smaller
wheels that fix it to the guide rails on
each side of the main rail in the center.
One line of posts in the street supports
