300 CARS FOR
ND COKE
EX-SENATOR HENRY g. DAVIS
makes SHOPPING TRIP
TO BALTIMORE.

BALTIMORE, Md. Dec. 81 -ESsen-
ator Henry @. Davis. who owns the
Coal and Coke railroad. came to Bal
tmore and gave an order to the South
Baltimore Steel Car and Foundry
Company for 300 coal cars. He said
his railroad needed the cars In hur-
ry and he was assured that he would
get them with the least possible de-
lay. The cars will be delivered within
a few weeks.
The cars will be of the highest
grade of the hopper gondola style. con-
structed according to the design Of
the Norfolk and Western Railroad.
The capacity Of each will be 100000
pounds. The cost of the cars will
amount to about 100000.
While in the city Senator Davis
visited his friends in the financial dis
trlct. He was congratulated upon the
fact that the growth of his new rail-
road was such as to justify the pur-
chase of 300 cars. To all Inquiries
as to the condition of his road the
Senator declared It was surprising his
expectations.
Baltlmoreans are particularly inter.
ested in the road because Of the bene-
fit which Its position affords the city
as an artery into the heart of the
West Virginia coal.mlning district.
Connecting at Elkins. W. Va, with
the Western Maryland and Of Sage, a
small station in that State, with the
Baltimore and Ohio, the road is close
ly linked to Baltimore.
The road is 1877 miles long, but 1t Is
thought that in a short time, II favor
ed by the prosperity which seems
to be enjoying, It will make further
extensions. It connects Elkins will

pected 1t will go as far as the ohit
