RAILWAY COMPANY CHARTERED.
Proposed Road TO Traverse state OF
NirSiuin.

A bill was introduced into the Virginia
house of delegates Wednesday to incor-
porate the Washington and Richmond Rail-
way Company. The authorized capital is
S1o0Oo,0OO, and the incorporators named
are w. Brydon Tenant, ]. j. Collier, Her
man Ricketts,, Walter Smith, John F. WI
kIns. j. h. Junker, NJ L. Sturges and G.
F. Ambrose. The company is authorized
to construct its road from any point on the
Potomac river to Richmond, and may use
steam. electricity0or any other mechanic
cal power.
1t is stated the proposed road will, if
cons rae ed, parallel the Richmond Fred
ericksburg and Potomac road from Rich
mond to Quantico, and the fact that the
state of Virginia is large stakeholder in
the Richmond. Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac road has caused a feeling in some
quarters that the granting of charter
for rival road would meet with strong
opposition. A similar bi passed both
houses of the Virginia legislature, four
years ago, but from some cause.-the pre-
vaiiine depression in business, it is said
the incorporators did not avail themselves
of the privilege granted them.
