Double tracking Railroads.

Iaborers are being rushed from many
,,orts of the South to the camps in Vlr-
qqinia that are grading the road there for
isv;nO the double track of the Southern
Railway. During the past few weeks
nearly 200 negroes have come from Nortn
Carolina TO begin work on the railroad
The work is being pushed as rapidly as
possible. Over 5000 men are at work
On the road. scattered all along between
Ills citv and Manassas. Already from
Alexandria to Manassas, distance OF u
miles the road has been graded, a great
mart If II double tracked and some OF 1t
t'surfaced." The laborers will be taken
south as fast as the track-laying there
is completed. The whole undertaking is
under the supervision of Captain Dodson
and Supervisor Lynch, of the Southern
The road is also to be double-tracked be-
tween Norfolk and Charlotte, n. G.
The work of double-tracking the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
railroad from Richmond to this city is
also being pushed. The tracks from Rich,
mond to Ashland have been completed
and are in active use daily and stretch
of 30 miles this side of Ruther Glen II
about ready for the rails. The contract
for building the road from QuantIco to
Washington has been let, and tits expect

fore the rush of travel next year. About

A,svandrja as a Railroad Centre.

The change which has taken place IN
the railroad depot yards OF this city DUR
ing the past quarter of century Is olVeh
commented upon. The growth in tracks
rolling stock and the increasing number
of trains is gradually making Alexan-
dria most important railroad centre
A few years ago there were put Two
tracks west of Payne street-one useo by
the Southern Railway and one by the
Washjngton-Sout There were then
Int few trains over either road. Inc
entire space west of Payne street 70
Roberts crossing is now gridironed WIN
tracks. all of which, save the main tracks
on the extreme north and south, are &C.
cupied with trains, some mile long.
Besides these side tracks on both roads
extend from Roberts almost to the dou-
ble-bridge. or as far as the eye can reach.
The round house is unable to accommodate
the locomotives, and there are always a
dozen or more standing in the yards.
Within a few months time almost as
many more tracks will have been con-
structed. as the Washington-Southern IS
about to begin work on the land recently
acquired by it in West End. Trains are
arriving and departing at all hours Of
the day and night and the services Of
half dozen switch engines are required
to make up trains. Apart from these
scenes the growth of traffic on the w.
80. branch of the Southern produces
busy scenes in and about that depot,
while the transfer of trains on the Is. *
O., barge and the movements OF cars on
Union street from FishtOwn to the Drlck
wards south of St. Mary's cemetery IS
continuous. Union street is the theatre
for movements of trains day and night.
Last Saturday one fertilizer company had
use for sixty cars, while lumber dealers,
erocers and others utilized dozen more.
The location ola union yard north OF Alex
andria and the laying Of additional tracks
10 accommodate the enormous through
traffic will in short time produce still
busier scenes. Alexandria is sandwiched
between the two great arteries to the
south and the Potomac river, ana ina
she is destined to reap the benefits OF hel
central position is apparent. These con
ditions will not remain stationary. 1hey
will increase as the years come ana 60
and if there ever was a time when th'
tide should be taken at its flood 1t Is th'
present when strangers are being brough
into cur midst and the rapid growth o
