The C. 80. Railroad

Under date of Feb. Is, telegram
in the Baltimore Sun from Oakland
says:
"a plan to complete the ConHu-
ence and Oakland railroad is now
under consideration by well known
capitalists from Philadelphia, Pitts
burg and other leading cities. The
idea Is to complete the roadto juno
ton with the Baltimore and Ohio
near Oakland, so as to make new
short line from Pittsburg to the
mountain resorts of Deer Park and
Oakland.
ga journey of 204 miles is now
necessary to reach Oakland from
Pittsburg. via Cumberland, but bv
the proposed route this would be
reduced to 124, a difference of so
miles. To complete the Confluence
and Oakland only 10 miles of rail
way would have to be built. 1t is
said that this could be done at cost
of 100000.
Confluence is on the Pittsburg
division of the Baltimore and Ohio,
almost directly north of Oakland,
which is 81 miles west of Cumber-
land, and the Confluence and Oak
land road runs southwark from the
first named place 10 miles to Manor
Lands in the heart of coal and
timber country. 1t is asserted that
the extension would prove quite as
profitable as the original line, which
has had thrifty existence.
"The new line would run through
mountainous section, and it could
not, it is stated, be completed for
less than $40, 200 a mile. But those
who favor the road assert that there
would be ample freight to make it a
profit-earner from the beginning"

A Model Syndicate.

The Morgan syndicate was repre-

cious, but 1t sinks into insignifi-
canoe when compared with another
syndicate which had its birth in
Boston, and which failed to make
its rad on the new bonds brilliant

command few million dollars in

cate consisted Of two persons only,
a man and his wife, and they de-
serve a high place among the ''Na-
poleons of finance" who have made
the world ring with their great
achievements in the last quarter Of
the nineteenth ceatury. Their
operations inyolved the purchase of
millions of bonds. bEt their cash
capital amounted to Only forty-four
cents, most of which IVES expended
in stationery and stamps. Strangely
enough, their bids were accepted,
and but for IL ruling Of the Treas
ury Department, it is said they
would have been able to turn their
purchase over to persons who had
ready cash and have netted hand
some profit, enough to have kept
them in luxury for the balance of
their days. But the Treasury De-
partment has decided that allot-

will be glad to buy all the bonds

who cannot command gold, and the

GERS who learn on chalked squares
while they count one, two, three,

The father had been sent as a SOL

SENATOR BOND DEAD.
Another Senate Vacancy-Its PolIti-
cal Bearing.


cal Bearing.
ANNAPOLIS, Feb. Ex-senator
John j. Brooke Bond, of Calvert
county, who was taken i'll last week
with congestion of the liver, died at
S:25 O'Clock last night at the resi-
dence of his brother-in- law, Thomas
NJ. Tongue, on Cathedral street this
city.
Mr.. Tongue at once conveyed the
sad news to the Senate, which had
just begun discussion of the free
school book bill, and DR.. Herring, of
Carroll county, made a brief an
nouncement of the death, where
upon the Senate, out of respect to
the memory of the deceased, imme-
diately adjourned.
Senator Bond caught cold last
week and on Thursday became quite
sick. His illness was not, however,
supposed to be serious until Mon
day. In the evening he was quite
low, but next morning his physician
found him somewhat better, and
hope of his recovery was entertained.
Later in the day he took a turn for
the worse, and continued to sink
until death came.
By the death of Senator Bond the
Democrats, while not robbed of a
majority in the Senate, are deprived
of their power to enact legislation
without aid from the Republicans.
AS matters stood before they had
just an even IA votes-a constitu-
tlonal majority. Thus, with all
their members present, they could
pass laws without assistance from
the other side. The body now
stands, Is Democrats and II Rcpu-
blicans.

less debt than ever before, they are
producing more provisions for home
consumption, farm improvements
are general and household comforts
are much in advance Of what thew
were at even so late a period as five

of corn, indicates what the Southern
farmers are doing. The corn crop
