MORE ELECTRIC RAILROAD PRoJECTING.
According to the Frederick correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun, certain parties are
considering the feasibility OF building
an electric railroad from the Gettysburg bat
tie field, via Emmitsburg. Mechanlcstown
and Frederick to Washington. This is not
the first we baye heard of this project and 1t
is beyond question feasible and sure to be
profitable. 1t would be almost an air line
between the two points and would traverse
Il section of country that has long been call
ing TOR additional railroad facilities. 1t is
prob ,blc that more will he heard of this
project us electric railroading becomes, rs it
will, essential to the development Of the
country.

The following taken from last wech s
Citizen is sound C rine and taken in conncc
ton with the article copied in this issue ftoin
the VaNey Regi,tc =, may well be taken as u
note Of warming
1--WE have now at our command the goose
which lays the golden eggs shall we deprive
it OF life like the foolish man Of old, and then
bcwail our fate when it is too late to mend.
The incorporators are really in earnest that
the road shall be built by the early fall, and
haye shown remarkable activity in further
ing, and keeping the matter up 10 white
heat. TO let it cool and become gradually
sterile and impotent, would be a lasting dis.
grace and place us in q position to be The
laughing stock of other communities. The
finger of scorn and ridicule, like the point OH
the weather cock, is ready to move in any
dircctson, SO let us keep this important mat
ter fresh in the peoples mind, until the
bonds are all taken and the road guaranteed.
