TIT RAILROAD WORLD
The SEVENTEEN Anniversary Of the
B. & .. Co.
SQalE "REMINISCENCES OF THE
ELABORATE CEREMONIES IN BAL
TIMORE- MISCELLANEOUS RAIL-
ROAD NOTES AND NEWS.

While it is not generally known, the
SEVENTEEN birthday Of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad was the 4th of July. The
corner stone of this great company's
building was laid in Baltimore by
Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last
surviving signer Of the Declaration of
American independence. The Masonic
fraternity had charge of the ceremonies,
and only recently was the relics placed
In large glass cabinet and loaned to
the Masonic Temple, Baltimore, with
the compliments of the B. & O. road
The relics are of a priceless nature, and
consist of spade, trowel and a hammer
laid away many years ago as mementos
of most important event-the build
ing of the first American railway. This
railway first received its charter on
February 27, 1897, and great prepare
tions were made for its building. 1t
was to be great event, and the duties
attendant upon the ceremonies were
therefore intrusted to the Masons. A
grand industrial and civic parade was
arranged, in which every trade and
profession was represented. Each
trade was provided with a float, on
which the workmen were actually en-
gagged making various wares and
giving them away. The city OF Balu-
more was in it's zenith of glory, for
great was the monument for which the
corner stone was to be laid that day.
The ceremonies were conducted in the
most religious manner, and was the
custom of the founders of the impreg-
nable nation, When the event t-ok
place the city was filled with strangers,
many arriving two days ahead of time.
THE day was bright and cool, and every
business house was decorated in way
that was never done before. The pro-
cession arrived at the place WHARF the
exercises were to be held, and here was
erected a platform for the reception OF
Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the pres
ident and directors of the railroad COM
Eany, the engineers, the mayor and city
council and the orator CT the day.
Among the guests we're also the Sp ak
er CT the House Of Representatives
George Coles, of Indiana, the members
of Congress and the Legislature, the
Order of Cincinnati and Revolutionary
soldiers, Col. Grenier and Gen. Devsr-
eux. The ceremonies were commenced
by a prayer by Rev. DR.. WYATT Ma
sonic grand chaplain. The vast audi
ence uncovered their heads, when Mr..
Heath, after an eloquent preface, read
the Declaration of Independence. The
fCarrollton march, composed by Mr..
Clifton, being then performed Mr.. John
B. Morris delivered the address from
he president and directors Of the COM
pany. The event was certainly one
long to be remembered by those who
we're present, ard even at this late date
history Of the company is read with
much interest by everybody. The B.
Z 0. to-day is in many ways like the
one in the past-she has patriots EN-
ployes who are always ready to show
their colors.
