More Railroad Facilities.

There is probability thai Philadelphia will
shortly bavo another outlet to the South, SIS the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is on the eve of
strengthening its system by the construction OF 8
new lue in the vicinity of Washington, which
will give that road line into Virginia, there
connecting with four Southern roads, from which
It is now prac :slly shut out by reason OF the
Baltimore and OhiJ's peculiar geographical posi-
ton in and about the national capital.
As at present situated it cannot interchange
traffic with the Bichmond and Dsnville, Rich
mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac, nor the Nor
folk and Western, the latter soon to build an In
dependent line into Washington. The intention
OF the Baltimore people is to construct q brsu ch
road about thirty-fve miles ia length from q
point ten miles west Of Washington, on the main
stem, bridging the Potomac river below the falls
thence running parallel with the river south on
tho Virginia side perhaps as far as Fredericks-
burg This will give track connections with all
tho Southern lines now terminating at Washing
ton.
The surveys, which have been carried on very
quietly, have just been Ill pleted, and work on
the construction will begin in very short while.
An official Of the Baltimore and Ohio road, in
common Jog upon the construction of tho branch,
said: II have known for some time that Vice
P, esident King hss had this matter under con-
.ideration and that its ultimate success WAS
sursd I believe the road will be built, and what
an aivantsg, to Philadelphia The city nov has
only one line 10 tho South and the advantages an
limo will aTjrd can be resdily pr
ceved. With its construction the Bsti more and
Ohio will have direct :. ute from Boston, per-
hsps from Bar Hsrbar, to tina South and it is not
among tho improbabilites that within a very
short time We shall be able to say that our road
has direcs route from Halifax to the Gulf of

respondent of the Petersburg appeal says:
Next winter the legislature will be asked to
arrange to have iuebrlstes cared for at some
OF the insane asylams OF the State. It Is
claimed that this can be done at very little
additional cost. The same officials could
mspage both iDstitu,ions. Such inebrlates
as are able to pay viii be charged and those
who have no means will be received free, as
is done In the case of the insane. The mat
ter ia being much discussed here. especially
by the physicians. Some gentlemen oil this

to pay we'll. DR.. W. ". Parker says there
