THE RAILWAY TO GETTYSBURG
baltimore Stockholders of the Com
pany Withdraw Their Suit

baltimore Stockholders Of the Com
pany Withdraw Their Suit.
The construction of the Washington and
Gettysburg Railway is again under-consid-
Grafton, and, although some skepticism is
probability that the line viii ever be built
by the present concern, some Of the pro-
moters are most hopeful regarding It. The
withdrawal Of the equity suit instituted by
the Baltimore stockholders some time ago
in the District Supreme Court is the basis
for this optimism This action by the
Baltimore people was taken in consequence
of the decision rendered against them in
the court al Rockville recently. II is said
too, that these Baltimore interests have
been allowed a director in the company in
consideration of their action, and that an
amicable compromise has thus been ef-
fected.
The railway proposed viii be seventy
two miles in length, and will pass through
the most populous towns from Washington
TO Gettysburg, Pa. 1t has a charter from
Maryland and another from Congress
which allows it 10 enter the District. The
route within the District is fixed by the
charter granted by Congress. 1t begins at
the head of Fourteenth Street and extends
eastward toward Brookland and Rhode Isl
and Avenue extended, where it connects
with the present Maryland branch OF the
City and Suburban line owned by the
Washington Traction and Electric Com
pany In Maryland the line viii pass
through Sligo, Avenel Burnt Mills Sandy
Springs and ColesviIIe.
The company which proposes to build
the new line is closely affiliated with the
Washington Traction and Electric syndi-
cate, which owns all the street and sub
urban lines in the District with the ex-
ception Of the Capital Traction It is not
| understood. however, that this syndicate
proposes to build and operate the line as
| part of its system, though something of
| this nature has been discussed. The off,
| GERS and directors of the two companies are
many OF them the same.
The Washington and Gettysburg Rail-
way is organized as follows: President
| George H. Harries; vice president, S. W.
/ Woodward; secretary and treasurer, B. H.
/ Warner: general counsel, John B. Larner;
| directors, s. II. Woodward, Crosby S.

BALTIMORE. Md. Oct 1S.-Henry
Mann, who lives at 1751 Preston Street,
has been stalwart Republican all his life,
but he says that he is going to vote for
Bryan. He is a bookkeeper, but he has,
in past campaigns, done lot of work for
the Sound Money Democrats.
The present Sound Money Democratic
movement in Baltimore city" said he,
Doesn't amount to anything at all. It
was scarcely day after the offices opened
that it was apparent to those running it
that there was nothing doing, as the
slang of the day goes. I am entirely dis
gusted with the imperialistic policy of the
Republican party, and, though I worked
hard for Mckinley last time on the fnan-
cial question, 1 believe, as do many good
Republicans in Northeast Baltimore, that
the preservation of the Declaration of In
dependence is the most prominent issue
of this campaign, and, believing that,

While there is every indication that

5esieged by men working for other coal
carrying companies with various enqui-
ries as to whether the former will re-en-
