retire the hated Isl An from power and the
public eye.

A Proposed Virginia Railway.

Plans are being perfected for a railway
line from Culpeper, Va, through the north
ern neck, via Fredericksburg, and the out
look for the building of the road is said to
be fattering. The present plan contem-
plates the line crossing the Rapidan river
at or near Blend ford, then running to
Fredericksburg and from there through
King George, Westmoreland and Northum-
berland counties to deep water on the PO-
tomac or Chesapeake bay The railway, it
is said, will open up a new country that is
now largely dependent upon water routes
to the outside world. The rich agricultural
region of Virginia between the Potomac and
Rappahannock rivers would be brought in
direct rail communication with the city by
way of Fredericksburg.
