THE QUEEN ANNE'S ROAD.
The New Railroad Has Given an Impetus
to Other Industries.

Tho successful operation Of the new
Queen Anne's Railroad across the Mary
land md Delaware peninsula has given
impetus to other enterprises in that terri
tory.
1t is understood that Mr.. G. Frank Tay
lor, formerly hotel proprietor at Pitts
burg, Pa, Ii negotiating with ex-Gov
chase Of "trip Of land at tho junction of
,be Delaware. Maryland and Virginia and
Queen Anno's Railroads at Ellendalc, Del,
on which ho contemplates building u large
hotel this fall
Several manufacturing enterprises Of
more or less magnitude will probably bo
located niong the line Of the Queen Anne's
Railroad boxt year.
The plans of the railroad company con-
template an energetic reaching out for
now business. The first improvement
will probably bo to secure u larger and
faster forry steamer for use between Bal
timore and Queenstown.
Excursion business between Baltimore
md Queenstown has grown to proportions
scarcely expected, 1t Is, therefore, deemed
necessary to secure large md swift pas
senscr and express steamer for next sea
son. 1t Is probable that plans for such
vessel will be prepared in short time
The steamer will have capacity for
1.20o or l.hOo passengers, have greater open
deck space, and in every way be equipped
for excursion business and In addition
will have sufficient speed to be able to
make three ronnd trips II day between
Baltimore and Queenstown, instead of
two.
The steamer B. S Ford, now running
on tho route will it is expected, find full
employment as an extra boat and for
handling freight.
Next year tho contemplated extensions
Of tho Queen Anne's Railroad will be
taken up. 1t is proposed to build q spur
from Denton TO fredericksburg, II miles
connecting at the latter place with the
Cambridge and Seaford Railroad. which
traverses Dorchester county.
by this arrangement 1t Is expected that
much of the territory Of Dorchester and
lower Delaware will be aifo ded quicker
route to and from Baltimore.
Plans arc also we'll under way to build
the northern extension, from Queenstown
through Queen Anne's and Kent counties,
to n point connecting with the Baltimore
and Ohio or Pennsylvania Railroad near
Elkton.

1HE ANDREE MESSAGE.
Confirmation Of a Previously Pub
lishod Report.
MESSAGE PROBABLY GENUINE.

1t Was Accompanied by Letter ADJ
dressed to Stockholm Paper, and
tho Publication of This Letter VIII
Remove All Doubt.
Just received here confirms the story
published yesterday In dispatch from
Hammerfest. Norway. saying that one
Of the searchers for Herr Andree met
the sealing vessel Aiken, about July
", and was informed by her captain
that one of the crew had shot pigeon
between North Cape and Seven Islands.
on the northern coast of LaplaISk.
bearing a message signed by Andr'
with the date illeglble,y and addressed
to The Aftonbladet, of Stockholm, read
Ing as follows: ''Eighty-two degrees
passed. Good journey northward. An
dree."
The pigeon also carried q letter ad-
dressed to The Aftonbladet. but the
captain of the Aiken declined to sur
render either the dispatch or the pig
con, and continued his voyage north
ward. The captain is familiar with An
dree's plans. and Is greatly interested
In them.
The news arrived here very indl-
rectly. The captain Of the Aiken COM
municated the information referred to
to the commander of the ship Injoporg,
Of Trumsoe, the latter transmitted the
news to the commander of the steamer
Express, upon which the Lerner Polar
expedition was coming home.' and the
Express finally passed the news along
to the steamer Lofoon. which brought
It here.
If the message from Andree reported
as having been received in the above
dispatch should prove to be genuine
the daring aeronaut would have trav-
ersed nearly one-fourth of the dis
tance from Danes Island to the pole,
The total distance is about 71O miles,
and to reach the SD parallel Andrec
must have drifted through the air at
least 100 miles to the northward. To
beat Nnnsen's record Andree had to
60 due north from Danes Island about
$50 miles
The genuineness of the message said
to have been received from him through
the agency of carrier pigeon Is en-
tirely possible. and, in fact, very prob
able. The publication of the letter ad-
dressed to the Stockholm Aftonbladet,
said to have been carried by the pigeon.
will. when made, remove all doubt as
to the genuineness of the news from
the aeroraut.
