Mrs Buckingham had been married over fifty

WASHINGTON AND GETTYSBURG R. R.
4 Preliminary Survey Being Made for an
Electric Railway from Washington
via Westminster to Gettysburg.

+. H. Stier, of Washington, and P. C.
Kennedy, of Westminster, are now making a
preliminary survey for an electric railroad
from Washington, via Westminster, to Get
tysburg. Mr.. Stier left Washington on horse
back on Monday, and Mr.. Kennedy left
Westminster on Wednesday morning, going
to Mt. Airy to meet Mr.. Stier. The two en-
gineers will proceed to Gettysburg together
and then traverse the route to Washington.
This survey is the outcome of the move
lnent in this city two years age to build line
from ReiSterstown, via Westminster, Union
Mills and Silver Run, to Gettysburg. A
company was formed, with T. Herbert Shri.
yer as president Col Alex. D. Anderson,
Of Washington, was employed to promote the
enterprise. He looked into the plans of the
company, and soon convinced the directors
that it would be better to work to secure a
direct road from Washington to Gettysburg,
for when that was accomplished it would be
a small matter to build line to Reisterstown,
so as to have an electric line to Baltimore.
Col. Anderson and Mr.. Shriver kept at work,
and have succeeded in interesting capitalists
in the enterprise. Among them are Stilson
Hutchins and Francis G.. Newlands, who are
interested in Washington City and suburban
electric lines.
We have no doubt the line will be built.
As the ADVOCATE has said before, the road
would connect the national capital aad the
most interesting historical spot in the country
by direct route. Visitors to Washington
would want to visit the Gettysburg battlefield,
and vice-versa, so that the travel between
these two points would be heavy. The line
would also occupy a large territory now with
out railroad facilities. If any rural electric
railroad will pay surely this one will
An electric road is now built out from
Washington some-eight miles, and an electric
road is built at Gettysburg and over the battle
field. Thus considerable part of the work
is already accomplished. The connection Of
these two roads would be no great undertake
ing
A bill to incorporate the Washington and
Gettysburg Railroad Company was introduced
in Congress some weeks ago by Mr.. yelling
ton, and was passed by the House on Mon
day. Ii will no doubt pass the Senate before
this session expires.
