The Lancaster railroad scheme, We
are glad to learn, has received q terrific |
blow at The hands Of its supposed |
friends the Railroad Company. On
the 18th of February, Lancaster called
upon the head officials Of the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad to knox if the
Company would object to a change of its
charter so as to give it the option to
make its terminus at Chapel Point To
his query the Company answered en-
phatically, yes. No change such as was
suggested, was wanted to IFS charter and
the Company would oppose any measure
looking to that end Notwithstanding
that positive statement Of the Company,
a few days thereafter Lancaster took his
bill to Senator Gray and stated to him
that the Railroad Company was in favor
Of the measure, and at the same time
made similar statement to our dele
gates, whereupon two of those gentle
men Senator Gray and Mr.. deb Wal
bach, Mr. Hicks putting his foot down
on the proposition at once, agreed to give
support to the measure. Senator Gray
agreeing to favor his bill to lop off all
the portion of the road south of Bel AL
ton and Mr.. deb Walbacb the portion
south of Lothsir crossing. The Railroad
Company since learning of the position
the matter has taken against their pro-
test, notified their attorney Mr.. Bernard
Carter to oppose the measure, and Mr..
Carter is obeying his clients instrns.
iPftoFy n " aud Nj, deb. Wal
bach were both informed of the Compa-
ny's position and incensed at the manner
in which they had been deceived, have
changed their positions. Senator Gray
had the bill referred back to the Corpo-
ration Committee Of the Senate where it
ought to die, and Mr.. deb Walbach
states positively that he will now oppose
the passage of the scheme altogether
+ We were satisfied that these gentle
men we're acting with the pures motives
and now that a search hight has been
thrown upon the whole scheme, they have
digressed from the false position they
were led to assume and will no longer
sanction the proposed scheme in any
. shane whatever.
