Our New Railroad a Sure Thing.

Those persons who have heretofore
had their doubts that the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad would actually build
the new line through Shepherdstown
that has been surveyed 30 often the
past year, may as well give up now.
Land has actually been bought for the
right of way, and there can now be
no reasonable doubt that the road will
be built. During the past week Ma
jor Abel Hunter, right-of-way agent
for the B. & O., settled the land dam
age with Messrs. Tabler and Welshans,
this side of the Cumberland Valley
Railroad and the Opequon creek, and
few days ago the papers were also
signed for the purchase of the neces-
sary land through the farm owned by
Charles Strider and Mrs. B. F. Har-
rison, west of town. The parties to
the transaction decline to give the
amounts paid, but it is rumored that
the sum agreed upon for right-of-
way through the Strider farm is in
the neighborhood of $4,000. Other
property owners along the route be-
tween the c. V. and the Jefferson
county line have been interviewed by
Major Hunter, but we do not know
that agreement has been reached. 1t
is probable that the Jefferson county
landowners will be visited in the near
future. 1t is stated that those per-
sons who have settled with the COM
pany are very well pleased with their
allowance.
The B. & o. surveyors this week
laid off the switch to connect the new
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad with the
Norfolk & Western Railroad at Shep-
herdstown. The switch leaves the
main line of the B. & o. in the Dan
bridge field, and goes through the
Davis lot and Hartzsll's gardens, pass
ing Just west of the N. & W. station.
1t takes part of the Helferstay prop
erty, the Cookus lot and Mr.. Beltz-
hoover's small house, joining the N. q
W. very close to W. N. Lemons ele-
vator. 1t is thought that this switch
will be constructed at a comparative
ly early date, as it will give the con.
tractors opportunity to get material
at this end of the line as soon as they
begin their work.
The following changes in superin-
tendents were announced by the Nor
folk and Western Railroad Monday
A. G. Needles, who has been acting
superintendent Of the Norfolk division,
has been appointed superintendent of
the Pocahontas division, succeeding
V. A. Ritton, superintendent Of that
division, who becomes chief clerk OF
General Manager johnson. W. S.
Becker, who has been chief clerk OF
the general manager for some time,
has been made acting superintendent
of the Norfolk division.
The Wabash people have begun to
survey for the connecting link between
the Western Railroad at Cherry Run
and the West Virginia Central at Cum
berlaDd. 1t will be vastly difficult
line to construct.
The contractors on the B. & O. cut
off in Berkeley county paid off their
hands last week, distributing $4,000
among them.
