According to the Harrisburg Telegraph,
Of Saturday last, the Pennsylvania Railroad
has closed a contract with Col. Fuller by
which it will have use of the Gettysburg and
Harrisburg Railroad, giving the Pennsylvania
system a shorter route to Gettysburg and
Pine Grove Park and declaring the Reading
road from privileges they might have secured.
The transfer of the road, it is said, was
caused by an alliance between the Western
MARYLAND. Baltimore & Ohio and Reading
roads. which was deemed hostile to the Penn
syvania road. Now let the Pennsylvania
road build the line south from Gettysburg,
via Westminster, to connect with the Green
Spring Valley Branch of the Northern Cen
trail. 1t would be of advantage to the system,
make the Green Spring branch remunerative,
establish short line from Washington and
Baltimore to Gettysburg, and would pass
through an unoccupied territory full of iron,
brown stone, timber, &C., productive and
populous.
