! Gen. A. s. Kimball, Depot Quarter
master Of the u. S. Army, in New
York city, has sent to Lyman Nc
Carly, Assistant General Passenger
Agent of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road In New York, letter Of thanks
for the prompt movement Of troops
that were ticketed over the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad during the past year.
He says that many of these movements
were made on short notice and his de-
partment had too frequently to rely
upon insufficient and sometimes mac
curate data. He realized that under
such circumstances the company was
placed in an embarrassing position and
the extraordinary efforts made by the
line to give satisfaction in every re-
spect merited and received his fullest
appreciation.
