REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Annapolis, Md, Feb. 4.-The Gould inter-
ests are believed to be behind a bill TO in
corporate the Baltimore, Pittsburg and
Western Railroad. which was introduced In
both houses of the Legislature last nlShi.
1t provides for the construction of rail-
road from Baltimore City at udewater 10

line near En,nitsburg. Permission Is also
given for the line to run southweSteriy from
Baltimore 70 a point on the Chesapeake Bay.
Robert Grain, who claims to represent IL IN
New York. Philadelphia and other cities,
had the bill introduced. He is one of the
parties who recently wrote to the Mayor OF
Baltimore in connection with the proposed
sale OF the Western Maryland Railroad: The
capital stock OF the new company Ii placed
at S2,uOu.yJU.
Mr. Grain says this communication means
new trunk line from Baltimore to the
West. The Baltimore, Pittsburg and West
ern. he explains. will connect the North
east and the Great Lakes. and the coal and
oil fields of Maryland with Baltimore 1t
will reduce the distance between the At
lantie seaboard and the West by 800 miles.
and cut down the distance between Balti-
more and Pittsburg 100 miles in the case Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and l50 in the
case of the Baltimore and Ohio.
