attended conference held bv the
local capitalists interested ut which
the provisions OF the charter were dis

identified with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company drafted the
document, but Mr.. Moore insists that

per reod. The construction will fol-
low the line Of the Delaware railroad
and the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore railroad. am not prepar-
ell now to name the gentlemen who
are associated with me but can state
most positively that the bill have in
PRODUCED has the hearty endorsement
Of a large majority Of the members Of
the Legislature. The charter will he
granted beyond peradventure, and
when chartered the road will be built.
