IMPROVING THE BALTIMORE AND LEHIGH.-
Mr.. w. A. Moore, General superintendent of
the Baltimore and Lehigh Railroad, is steadily
at work improving the road-bed, by replacing
the worn out ties with new ones-a certain pro-
portion of this work being done every month.
1t is expected that by next fall the entire
road-bed, including the trestles, will have been
entirely overhauled. The trestles, it is stat
ed are now strong enough to ensure the safe
passage over them of the heaviest locomotive.
The business of the road during the months
of January and February of the present year
was larger than that of the same months in
any preceding year. Mr.. Moore has intro
duced in the management of the road the ad-
mirable system in use by the great Pennsylva-
mia raiload.
