an active, prosperous and wide awake popu.
lati0n.
The value to Washington of an extension
of its railways into such u country cannot
be overestimated Rockville, with its 1000
people, will extend hearty welcome TO the
new road, and furnish a traffic that will
alone issue profit in the operation of the
line to that point.
Washington Grove Camp Grounds is an
other point with large existing traffic with
Washington during the summer months,
and with railroad running trains to the
city at frequent intervals, increased attend
ance there will undoubtedly result.
Mount Airy, the most important shipping
point on the main stem of the Baltimore and
Ohio, between Baltimore and Brunswick !;
Westminster, the metropolis of northern
central Maryland; Union Mills, the centre
of the canning industry, and Littlestown,
Pa, all popular and enterprising towns
would be great daily feeders to the line In
both passengers and light freight.
The taxable valuation of the property OF
the four counties traversed by the projected
road was over fifty millions for 1893, while
the real value is estimated at more than
twice that figure.
The attractions of Gettysburg 1t would be
almost useless to attempt to describe. Over
300 900 visitors are conveyed to it yearly
and doubtless with so short line as this,
tina number would be doubled. More than
100000 have been expended on the monu-
ments alone and every year adds to the list
The proprietors OF the new enterprise
claim that for every mile of its distance it
will prove remunerative from the begin
ming, from local travel alone. The Great
Falls electric road is cited as an example, it
having paid fair profit over running ex-
penses every month from the first day its
cars were put in motion.
Up TO the present time it has not been at
tempted to enlist any outside capital. The
incorporators have signified their willing.
ness TO subscribe one.half of the capital
stock, and it is believed that the people
along the line will willingly take the rest.
Four relay electric power houses will sup
ply the power, placed at convenient inter-
walls along the route.
Within the next thirty days the organiza
ton will be completed, all the stock sub
scribed, and the officers selected
Then active work will commence with
the procuring of the right ofway.
If there is anything like the good times
that have been predicted, one will doubtless
be able TO go on board handsome and COM
Portable electric motor car at Georgetown
and ride into and around Gettysburg battle
ground and return 10 Washington the same
day--in less then year from now and not
TO exceed dollar for the trip.

the trustees at the time they filed their Pc
titon for an extension for time for the sale
OF the canal, claimed they had entered into
an agreement by which the revenues OF the
canal would be increased 100000 per year,
is q corporation which never existed, except
upon paper, and the sole object offs forma-
ton was TO furnish an apparently RESPONSE
BILE bidder to the trustees in guaranteeing
net revenues, and which was used in the
petition in support Of the prayer for an ex-
tension of time that these things were at
that time all concealed from the court; that
the court was fraudulently induced by the
B. 81 o. and the trustees, acting nominally
in the interests of the 1874 bendh olders, but
really in the sole interests of the b. and ..
to pass the decree on July 20, 1894, ratiiying
the contract with the Chesapeake and Ohio
Transportation Company, and extending
the time of the possession by the trustees TO
canal for six years; that on account of the
depressed price Of coal in the markets the
trustees cannot charge tolls on the coming
business of the canal that will even pay the
running expenses
