IMPORTANT WORK ON THE B. G o. X. R.
Changes Of Grade on the Main LIne-The
Mt. Airy Tunnel Condemnation of Prop
erty, Etc.

A Frederick letter to the Baltimore Sun Of
Wednesday says:
The civil engineers of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, who have been making sur
veys for Strengthening the company S tracks ut
Mount Airy and for the construction of n iun
mel at that place, have about completed their
work. They are now making other surveys
over the main line between Relay House and
Washington Junction, where the Metropolitan
branch of that system connects with it.
Right-of Way Agent Order, of Baltimore,
has been going over the proposed route
securing options on land, but in many places
the prices asked are so enormous that
condemnation proceedings will be resorted
to. Many persons, it is alleged, are asking
high prices for their land because the route Of
the road will cut their farms in two, while
others will be cut into sections by the filling
in for the roadbed. To attain the proper grade
TO meet the tunnel entrence on either side of
Mount Airy for several miles il will require an
elevation of the tracks from 20 to 40 feet on
newly made roadbed.
From Frederick Junction TO Mount Airy
the present grade is said TO be about 80 per
cent, but when the tunnel is completed and
the new roadbed constructed it Is said there
will be only 25 per cent grade ON this sec
ton. The new route will require filling in
of five feet on the east side of the Monocacy
river at Frederick Junction, and this grading
will continue to near Mount Airy. The low
est point will require filling in Of 40 feet to
bring it up to the proper grade.
The route will go through the store and
dwelling of j. C. Walker, at Mohrovia, which
will have to be torn down. 1t is said that
condemnation proceedings will be resorted to,
as Mr.. Walker and the company cannot come
to terms ON the price for his place of business.
Many other houses and barns will be demol-
ished for the enterprise, it is said nearly
So, 600, 900 will be expended in the straighten-
ing of the tracks between the points named.
A tunnel will also be run under the bill at H.
chester, where the Catholic College is, and
the curves will also be taken out at Sykesyille.
Equally as great a change will be made in the
tracks from Frederick Junction TO Washing
ion, on which section the engineers began
work last week, If the present surveys are
carried out in that section one or two towns
may be skipped altogether between these two
points. Clements Il Co., of Philadelphia,
have the contract for this section and have
two years in which TO complete their work.
When the road is completed it will be prac
tically new one, and it is said the work is
being done for the purpose of running fast ex
press trains from Baltimore to the West, and
thus relieve the crowded condition of the Me-
tropoitan branch, as well as to overcome the
heavy grade at Mount ART for freight trains.

Dr.Heriug at ST. Jonu,s Collere.

In his address to the Graduating Class at
st. Johns College, Annapolis, Nd, on We'd
nesday last, DIR. Herring gave the following
good advice, which should be read and care
fully pondered by every young man into whose
hands his remarks may fall. DIR. Herring said !:
"Many men fail in life because they have no def
mite purpos Thew industrious, active, aimless
They are ike men firing in the dark never striking
anything except by accident. 1t is necessary thai
one should set out with definite lfe-dea have
some dominating aim. No life-work. Of course
should be entered upon without the most thorough
consideration FIRST as TO whether il Is practicable
that is whether IL Is in the reach of the individual
and then whether he has adaptedness to that par
ticuar calling. And then. having entered upon
chosen course 1t Is essential that II be pursued dill
gently, industriousy. perseyeringly. / tell you
young gentlemen, the Sticking qualities OF man
have great deal to do with his success. There are
multitudes of men in life who fail because they do
not hold on. They constantly changing. The
good they seek does not come to them quickly
enough The haste for gain, for promotion, for
preferment, makes them impatient of delay, and
hence they fit from one thing to another and final
y after struggle and disappointment, fall into the
grave. leaving behind them life all marked over
with failure. would caution you against this,
against the mad craze of many of the present day.
and conservative lines Of action and with a single
bound attain the success for which they not
cause the course may be aiuring. but especially be-
cause 1t will end in disaster. Applause
This college sends you out from its halls with
high hopes. Your friends, who have with deep
solicitude watched your course have set high
mark for you. The State looks to you for noble
ample in good citizenship and all these combine TO
demand that whatever vocation in life you may
choose you acquit yourselves like men. [Great APP
plause.1
The largest possibilities lie before the American
youth. In no other country in the world there
offered such incentives to nobility of character and
life. But let me tell You that rule almost with
out exception, the men who have made their i'm
press upon the history of the country the men who
have won places of honor and preferment are men
who have come through privation and struggle and
out of these has been developed the tough fiber of
their American manhood. lApplause.l
Let your aims be high, and above all be worthy
of your high aims. Deserve success And them if
perchance fortune may not smile upon your effort,
l bid you recall the words which Addison in his
Cato pats into the mouth of Portius:
'Tis not in mortals to command success;
But wen do more, Sempronius; well deserve it,"
