WABASH TRAINS KNrER MARYLAND.
Tralnsa are now being run oser the
completed Wabash extension from
West Virginia into sonth Cumber-
land. Nd. The trains pass through
Kn0bleY tunnel and across The new
bridges over The Chesapeake and Ohio
canal aud Potomac river. The iirst
Wabash train from the West Virginia
Central into MARYLAND was run gester-
day and the occasion caused rejoicing.
Trains carrying material Tor bridge
and other construction east are now
being sent down the Ink. A mann
moth bridge is now being erected ever
the Potomac at Weldon tunnel. In
six months il Is believed the link Will
be practically completed TO Cherry

miles without a stop, which Is one Of
the most remarkable sketches CO the

that the road out there Is not straight
away as it Is on the eastern division,
but Is very tortuous and contains
many heavy grades. Ntnutg-fnur miles
on the western division can be almost
regarded at the equivalent Of Us miles
on the eastern division. and TO run rs
miles without q stop would be no
small feat on the very best OF tracks
and pulling The highest kind Of a
train. The run between Mexico and
Slater Is also made without a stop 4
distance OF sixty-eight miles. These
long leaps OF the Hummer makes the
Alton train q most popular one with
Kansas City people making the trip
eastward across Missouri Blooming.
