III. Railroad Project.

The Philadelphia Evening H-raid says:
An important project is about to be car
ried out in the way of building Il new rail
road in Maryland The undertaking is
one which has been proposed both in this

year and half raising the necessary capt
tai, organizing the company and complet-
ing the surveys. \ few months ago,
everything being in readiness, he and
those whom he had associated with him in
the enterprise secured IL charter in the

surveyors at work marking out the pro-
posed route from the boundary line of the

and the company has entered into Il con-
tract with the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany to take $500 tons of 70-pound steel
rails, which will complete the track and
provide for the necessary number of
switches and sidings.
A survey has been made within the past
four weeks by party under Surveyor

Point Lookout.
1t is proposed to have the railroad run
ming by this time next year and to carry
