The Baltimore and Belair Electric Line.
| "A letter from Belair says: Engineer B. E.
Cutler, who has been engaged in making sur
veys for the proposed electric railway from
Baltimore to Belair, has submitted his plats
and profiles of the two routes They show
that the line can be constructed at a moderate
cost
1.-The cost reconstruction on the Hartford pike
be estimates at 81, 300 mile. The distance is
about eighteen miles, which would make the
line cost about $40 400. The Hartford pike is
the shortest possible line. with fair grades few
! private road crossings, no fencing and many
| other advantages. The grades are easy and he
! believes the line practicable.
1.-THE other line surveyed is by what is
! known as the Jerusalem pike, which he esti-
mates can be constructed for 81, 500 for dis
lance of seventeen miles, and a saving in bridg-
ing the Big Gunpowder river. This route has
| the heavier grades The bridges at Little Gun
| powder and Winters run are estimated to cost
$500 and 81 300, respectively. The grade at
Cub Hill and Mount Vista, the country home
of Mr.. Charles J. Bonaparte, will have to be
reduced, as the plans contemplate low grade
line for fast passenger travel and freight haul
ing and to be operated at as little cost as pos
sibe. The date for the stockholders meeting
has not yet been decided upon, but it is under
stood that it will be held some time this month.
Residents along the routes have subscribed
quite literally and several thousand dollars
has been subscribed in Belar."
Court Sustains the Deed of Trust.-On
Saturday last Judges Fowler and Burke filed an
opinion in the Circuit Court here in the matter
of the trust estate of William K. Carroll. On
December 31st, 1884, DR.. William K. Carroll
executed deed of trust for the benefit of his
creditors, and for other purposes to James H.
Smith and W. Frank Mitchell. Under this
deed the Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and
Accepted Masons of Maryland was named as
residuary beneficiary. The estate at that time
was valued at $4,000. A petition was SUBJ
sequently filed by William Kennedy Carroll,
to which the Grand Lodge of Masons filed
demurrer. The court says that the demurrer,
in so far as the effort to have the deed Of trust
annulled is concerned, is sustained. and the
petition to that extent is dismissed Jurisdic-
ton is retained over the administration of the
trust by the deed until the question of the va
lidity of the deed is determined. The question
of ratification of an order heretofore passed by
the court directing the trustee to borrow money
will be set for hearing by future order.
The Proposed Electric Railway Between
Towson and Cockeysville.-Some addition
al facts bearing upon this important enterprise
have been brought to light this week. Among
these may be mentioned the following:
The United Railways Company will enter
into traffic arrangement and allow the new
road percentage on each passenger carried.
The Mt. Washington Electric Light and
Power Company will furnish power tempo
rarily until the new company can erect its own
power-house.
The rightof-way will be given from the
York turnpike into the village of Lutherville,
by the Ridgely estate.
Pupils from the public schools at Luther
vile, Timonium, Texas, Cockeysville and
Ashland can reach the High School at Tow
son by the new line and thus save the time
and expense of going to Baltimore.
The stock books of the company were opened
at noon on Thursday and it is thought the
| company will permantsy organize and elect
Carroll County Schools at the WORLDS
| Fair.-A letter from Westminster dated April
