TIE BALTIMORE CENTRAL.

This Road VIII Probably BE Made
Part of the Maryland Division.
There is much talk among railroad
officials about the rumored change in the
divisions of the Pennsylvania railroad.
The rumor. has been going the
rounds among railroad men for the past
few days. The Pennsylvania road, so It
is said, will annex the Baltimore Central
line to the Maryland division which is
under Superintendent e f Brooks.
The Baltimore Central road branches
of from the main road a few miles above
Lamokin and joins the main line again
at Perryville, coming eastward from Port
Deposit.
Superintendent Reade, of the Balti-
more Central, was formerly assistant
engineer of the Maryland division with
his office in this city.
When ne was promoted, Assistant
Engineer Long, of the Delaware division,
with an office at Clayton. was promoted
to the place made vacant by the pro-
motion of Mr.. Reade.
When the Baltimore Central road is
made a part of the Maryland division
Superintendent Reade will take his old
position in this city and Mr.. Long
| will again take his old place
on the Delaware division. If the Balti
more Central road is made part of this
division it will make much more work fol
Superintendent Brooks and greatly
widen his territory.
