RAIL AND oROssTIE.

President Cowen of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad has adopted the plan of
having regular hours for seeing newspa-
per men. He met the newspaper men,
and after discussing the matter arranged
certain hours most convenient to both
for daily conferences, when he can be
seen upon many public matters relating
TO the road This is the policy which has
been pursued by the executive heads Of
the greater railway systems of the north,
and has been the practice, notably, OF
President Chauncey NJ. Depew of the New
York Central. Savannah railroad men
are, as a rule, accessible at all times to
newspaper men, and there are few sub
1ects which are not freely discussed.
