The recent heavy showers have caused the
streams in the lower part Of this county to
overflow. On Wednesday evening, at Nor
gan Station, between Hoods Mills and Wood
bine, on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, the water rose very high, and over
flowed the river banks, submerging the rail
road tracks in many places. The stable of
Charles Hartsock, storekeeper at Morgan, was
washed away, and taken some distance down
the valley Mr. Hartsock's horse, which was
in the building at the time, was badly crippled,
but was with difficulty rescued. His buggy
and the other contents of the stable were car
ried off by the current.
A letter to the Baltimore American from
Frederick on Wednesday says :-'Col. l..
Victor Baughman, president of the Frederick,
Thurmont and Northern Electric Railroad
Company, says that it is the plan of the pro-
iectors of a line from Washington to Gettys-
burg, who hold a charter granted by Congress,
to 90 by Frederick. running their line by way
of Mt. Airy, Union Bridge and Taneytown.
Colonel Baughman says he was approached by
party of Washington people interested in
this project with view to combining with his,
but that he positively declined to entertain any
proposition that did not include Frederick in
a direct line His idea is that if the Freder-
ick, Ihurmont and Northern is built soon the
Washington people will be compelled to aban
don part of their plan and run their road from
Washington to Frederick, and unite here with
the Frederick, Thurmont and Northern.
With this view Col. Baughman is actively
pushing his project and says that he is meet
ing with great encouragement.
