Robert G. White, former attorney-gen-
eral Of this State, is at the head Of a
company organized TO construct an cleo

Point Lookout that point of land at the
confluence of the waters of Chesapeake

the company The capitalization is ST.

The new railway is to be called the
Washington. Leonardtown and Point
Lookout Railway. 1t will be ninety-eight
miles long and traverse the three Mary
land counties of the Peninsula between
the Potomac and Chesapeake bay. This
region is largely devoted to truck farming
and the new road is designed to give the
farmers easier access to the markets of
Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
One of the purposes of the company is
TO make Point Lookout a shipping point
for the products of the region through
which the road is TO run. The surveys
have been made by Damon Harris, of
Darby, and the rights of way acquired
for about two-thirds of the length Of the
road. a large part Of the country TO be
traversed has now no other way of get
ting to market than by wagon.

a. Scent car fare has long been the
desire of the wOrkingmen of the city,
and now that such rate is TO be
adopted here, they especially are
thankful. That it is for their benefit
principally, is evidenced by the fact
that present plans provide for the
carrying of passengers at the cheap
fare between the hours Of 6 and z a.

that the rate viii be general on the city

Subject this morning, an official Of the
company said they were not prepared
Ito make a statement at this time.

very desirable. The really fine fruit VIII

Tho experienced peach men say that

such will be the case. Several cars
We're loaded to-day, and as most of the
early varieties have been pulled out
during tho last few years. people are
wondering where the fruit is coming
from.
There are many buyers here to-day
early varieties are rotting, owing TO the
heavy rains, but this seasonable con-
ditiOn is Of advantage to the later va
rieties and will increase the size of the
fruit.
There is general comment that the
