The Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad has
received from the Pullman Company
fifteen new coaches, to be used on the
line between Baltimore and CincinDa
ii. The coaches, which are similar in
design and finish to the famous Royal
Blue Line, are models Of beauty and
taste. The seats, which are covered
in old gold plush, have soft springs in
seat and back. The windows are
double, and each window is supplied
with an upper deck frosted light and
a rich damask curtain. There are sep
arate retiring-rooms for women and
men, and attached to each coach is a
lavatory with basins of Tennessee
marble. The coaches are lighted with
Pintsch gas. The cars are vestibuled
and supplied with the anti-telescopIng
device. They are heated by steam
supplied from the engine. This new
equipment is for the route between
Baltimore and Cincinnati, and will be
known as the Southwestern Limit
ed Besides these coaches, the b. d
o. has just received forty cars from
the Pullman Company for use on local
trains between Baltimore and Wash
ington They are also very hand
somely finished.
The tunnel at Paw Paw, on the B.

The undertaking is a gigantic one, as

The n. & w. Railroad is putting in
a new telegraph wire from Hagers-
town to Roanoke, to accommodate the
growing business. The line will prob
ably be completed this month.
1t is thought that the block system
OF running trains will be introduced
along the entire line of the b. & o.
Railroad, which will prevent much of
the trouble that is now being expert
enced.

Miss Florence c. Snyder and Miss
Meta B. Shirley. Shepherdstown dis
trict was not represented.
1t being the first meeting and for
want of time, no special topic was
taken up and discussed. 1t is evident,
as was shown by their reports and
the interest they manifested in the
meeting, that the teachers have en-
tered upon their work with the deter
mination of making a success of their
calling. They report their schools in
good working order, and the oo-ope-
ration of the school officials and pa
irons with the teachers is all that is
wanting that effectual work may be
done OF the twenty schools report
ed in person, and three which sent in
written reports, | am sorry 10 say only
five Of them have been visited by their
trustees. This is not in keeping with
Sec IA of the school law, which pro
vides that the trustees shall visit the
schools within two weeks after they
are opened.
The course of studies prepared by
the State superintendent meets the
approval of the teachers. 1t has been
adopted by all the teachers reported,
but not strictly complied with where
