ROUTEOF NEW RAILWAY
FROM WASHINGTON CITY TO
FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE.
Traffic Arrangements With Mount Yer
non Road for Part Of Way-Bond
Issue Subscribed.

The route of the Fairfax. Potomac and
Washington Electric Railway Company,
which. as stated in The Star OF yesterday.
has a charter from the Virginia legisla-
ture, Is to begin at Arlington Junction
Traffic arrangements have been made with
the Mount Vernon Railway Company. so
that the cars of the new road will pass on
to the tracks Of the latter road at the
Long bridge and proceed to the terminus
Of the road at Pennsylvania avenue and
1871 street.
At Arlington Junction, where the line or
the Mount Vernon road passing to Alex
andria and Mount Vernon separates from
the one going to Arlington, the new road
will go west to Arlington station. then to
Glencarlyn and to Falls Church. Near the
latter place it will begin to parallel the
Washington and Ohio steam road, and will
run along the southern side of that road as
far as Vienna. On this side of Falls Church.
also, the new line comes near to the troll
ley road that runs from the Aqueouct
bridge to Falls Church. but the two roads
will be on opposite sides OF the tracks OF
the steam railroad.
May Extend to Manassas.
After passing through Falls Church by
the main street the road will continue to
and pass through Dunn Loring and then
to Vienna. At the latter point 1t will take
a southern course and go directly to Fair
fax Court House, a distance from this city
of seventeen and one-half miles. This will
be the terminus of the road, for the present
at least although George p. Robinson, the
secretary and treasurer Of the new COM
pany, says that prominent property owners
between Fairfax Court House and Manas-
sas, distance of twelve miles, have said
that they would build a road connecting
these places. IL the company would oper-
ate it, and 1t is likely that through connec-
ton may be made.
Mr.. Robinson states that this offer Is in
dicative of the cooperation he has met
with on the part of the people living in
the section of the country through which
the road is to pass. He has received rights
of way and cash contributions, the latter
amounting to $4,000. This money Is
pledged by individuals we'll as by the
town of Falls Church and will be paid as
soon as the road Is built.
There is no difficulty about the latter.
Mr.. Robinson says. as the total amount OF
the bonds proposed to be issued. 100000
has already been subscribed. Mr.. Robinson
attributes the interest which this project
has aroused on the part of the residents as
well Of others whose attention has been
called to the matter. to the fact that addi-
tional facilities of communication with
Washington is desired. The country Is
high and the route selected has purpOSely
been along the plateaus rather than the
valleys.
The officers of the company are: Presi-
dent, Daniel K. Trimmer Of York, Pa, vice
president of the York street railway: vice
president, Joseph s. F. Kerr Of Philadel-
phia: secretary and treasurer. George p.
RObinson general counsel. Robert E. Doan.
The directors include the above and r. H.

heartily into the spirit of the occasion. and
the various numbers went with swing
which can only be impaired by youthful
spirits and enthusiasm.
Under the direction of the superintend-
emit. Mr. keenan,. the program had been
prepared with great care. and the boys ac-
Quilted themselves admirably. The enter

ance which was extremely well done. Then

ercises The triumph of the evening. how

Major Armstrong; First Visit to
Brownsville.

THE CALLER man met Major Arm
strong at the st. James to-day,
surrounded by a group of friends,
and asked aim what he thought OF
the prospects of a railroad to
Brownsville, to which he replied,
that the first time he went there, he
stopped at the Miller hotel; that
late in the afternoon he and the
genial proprietor, Uncle Henry,
were sitting in the shade by the
sidewalk with their feet upon a
mesquite post, enjoying Il shuck
cigarette, when he cast his eyes
upwards and surveying the hotel
building, said: "Mr. Miller, how
did it happen that you built such a
large three-story brick hotel, away
out here in this far-off placer" "Oh"
said Mr.. Miller, Eve are going to
have a railroad soon, and | have
built this hotel in time, so as to be
able to take care of the people who
will come to see Brownsville and
perhaps to invest in the rich lands
along the river" That" said
Major Armstrong, ''was in June,
1885. Yes, l think the road will be
built, but 1 learn through the news
papers that the good people down
there are kicking because Col. Lott
asks two and half years in which
to complete his road 1t sounds
