To Connect at Delta.

A number Of railroad engineers have been
In town during the past few days looking 1t
is said. for an available route for railroad to
near South Delta, thsn extend around Slate
Ridge, SO as to make connection with the
quarries, and down to the Susquehanna river
short distance below Peach Bottom, where
it is suggested that bridge will be erected
across the river, and the railroad extended to
a connection with the Querryville Railroad,
running into Lancaster, Pa.
The Quarryville Railroad has recently been
purchased in the interest Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and the persons connected
with this new enterprise are said TO be identi
fled with the interests of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. They have also, 1t Is said, about
completed arrangements for the control Of
the Baltimore and Lehigh Railroad, which is
to be standard gagged this summer and will
connect with the Pennsylvania Railroad
system in Baltimore. This would make Delta
an important railroad point on line eX-
tending from Baltimore to Lancaster.
1t is said that a majority of the stock of the
Baltimore and Lehigh Railroad has been
recently acquired by the promoters of the pro-
ject and that traffic arrangements have been
practically agreed upon.-Bdiimore Sun.
