OF the Western Maryland Railroad
Company. In conversation Mr.. Spence
said the commissioners were agreed that

Spence said he had no evidence OF any.
thing Of that kind, nor did he believe
that the rumor had any foundation in

No proposition from the West Virginia
Central looking to the requirement OF
the Western Maryland, either by lease
or purchase, was submitted, nor will
there be any. But 1t is reasonably Ger.
