B. & O. Notes.

General Passenger Agent Scull. Of
the B. & o. R.R.. recently announced
that he had secured the concession
from the Joint Traffic Association
which makes it possible to give stop
over in Washington on all hrst-class
tickets sold over the B. & O. through
that point. The fight over this con.
cession was quite a bitter one and
lasted for long time, but Mr.. Scull
finally triumphed.
In order to successfully handle the
great crowds that are expected in
Washington during the Inauguration
of Major Mckinley, the B. &. o. has
arranged to lay about ten miles OF
additional side track to store sleeping
cars and special trains on. The facil-
tiles this year will be very much
greater than ever before.
