CAPITAL FOR THE GOULD PROJECTS.
TO Reach the SeabOard 1t is Estimated That
Fifty Millions Dollars VIII be Expended
Difficulty of Building Line from Pitts
burg TO the Western Maryland.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

rum tic puih AcuScfs
1t has been estimated that the various pro-
jects ofthe Gould Wabash interests, centering
around the purchase of the Western Maryland
Railroad, will call for an ultimate total outlay
of about $50, 000, 600. This expenditure in
cludes the purchase price of the Western
Maryland, cost of terminals and Underwater ex
tension in Baltimore. the reconstruction and
new equipment required on the road itself. the
Pitisbnrg extension, costing not less than &c.
100000; the Cumberland extension, costing
about ~. OOO, 900; the purchase of the West
Virginia Central and improvements thereon
and the extension to GAINESVILLE, Ohio.
The purchase of the Western Maryland by
the Gould interests means a definite intention
on their part, says the Railroad Gazette, to
establish an independent line to the Atlantic
seaboard, the first serious project of the kind
since the completion of the Lehigh Valley to
Buffalo ten years ago. 1t is an enormous task,
however, and will take much time and money.
The new owners are still long way from
Plttsburg. They probably have strong in
terest in the West Virginia Central aud Pitts
burg; but still there is gap of $50 to 300
miles to be filed from Cherry Run, the west
ern terminus of the Western Maryland, to
Pittsburg, and much of the country is ex-
tremely heavy. All around within twenty
five miles of Pittsburg the valleys are occupied
BY railroads already, so that location will be
difficult and costly. If this connection can be
made for $25, 900, 900, the projectors may be
considered fortunate; and to this must be
added many millions for putting the Western
Maryland in condition for heavy traffic
Moreover, they will undoubtedly find it nee
essary to control the West Virginia Central
and Pittsburg, which will take perhaps ST.,
600, 600 more. However, the Pittsburg dis.
trict is great mine of wealth. In twenty
FIVE years it will furnish more railroad traffic
even than the .Black Country of England;
SO that no new railroad can destroy, or greatly
impair, the value of those now there.

HOMICIDE In FREDERICK COUNTY.
Harry F. Starner Kills Joseph H. Rhine
hart Near Bridgeport.

Henry Franklin Starner shot and killed
Joseph Henry Rhinehart, the itinerant junk
dealer of Hanover, Pa, near Bridgeport,
Frederick county, on Friday evening Of last
week, and was arrested and taken to Frederick
on Sunday by Officer William 81. Ashhaugh
aud placed in the county Jail. The prisoner
is "a years of age, and has wife and two
small children.
In an interview Starner said ''About sun
down Friday evening the l6-year-old son of
Mrs. Koontz came to Mr.. Hobbs place on
horseback where | was working and told me
to bring a gun and ammunition quick, as
the junk dealer was at my mothers house and
was going to kill them. knew who the junk
dealer was, for he caused trouble in our family
before, and going to Mrs. Hobbs, | obtained
the shotgun. Burrying down the road, |
waited until Rhinehart came out, which he
soon did, | demanded him 10 leave, but he
refused. We quarreled for nearly half an
hour. He cursed me and struck at him with
the gun, which accidently exploded and tore
the top of his head off. We were facing each
other when | struck at him. but Rhnehart
turned to avoid the blow. Rhinehart was II
frequent visitor to my mothers house. and
two years ago, when she lived near Littlestown,
my father left her on account of Rhinehart's
attention to her. Finally he commenced
exefting his influence over my sister, who is
20 years old Last fall he called at their home
with carriage and invited my sister to get
in, which she did as also did my mother. To
get mother out he threw her handkerchief on
the road, and when she looked to see where
il went he showed her out and drove off with
sister, and kept her for five days"
