among a number Of merchants to secure the
establishment of the transfer service for
merly operated by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad between this city and Shepards. on
the opposite side Of the river. The services
Of the tug formerly used for transfer pur-
poses by the railroad company was dis
pensed with nearly month ago and the
local office was also abolished. The agent
for the company, Mr.. Reece Cation however,
remains at his post Strengthening up the
company's affairs. Merchants who ship or
receive less than carload lots of goods are
compelled to go to the new union station
about one mile west of Alexandria; which
means a considerable loss of time to them

committee will be appointed to wait on the
railroad officials and ask for the resumption
OF the former service. -
