The people of Baltimore city, together
with some of the press have been success
full in convincing Governor Warheld that
it was for the best interests of the city to
have the anti Cutoff Bilr' become
law, as the Chief Executive signed it on
Monday. These provisions prevent any
railroad company from constructing a
line nearer Baltimore city than about
eight miles, thus building an imaginary
wall around Mary lands metropolis that
will retard her growth until some sue.
ceeding Legislature sees the wisdom of
repeating the same. The smoke from
engines has become almost insufferable
and the Pennsylvania Railroad was at
tempting to solve the difficulty by build
ing line around the city. The lnconsis-
tency of this law will doubtless become
apparent by the time that the Legisla-
ture of 1908 assemblies.
On Friday and Saturday, the Green
Spring Valley Fox Hunting Club spent
two enjoyable days in Hartford county.
During their stay, they succeeded in start
ingup several foxes, and had all the cross
country riding that even the most ven
turesome cared for. The visit was not |
without its usual accident, one young |
man, Mr.. White, of Baltimore, being |
rendered unconscious by fall received |
while his horse was trying to vault a
fence. One lady, Mrs. Bonsal was in the
party, and kept we'll to the front with
the hounds, her horse taking every fence
With apparent ease. Others who enjoyed
the hunt were Messrs. George w. Ewing,
John Rush STREET., Thomas w. Cadwala-
der, William A. Larned boyd,
James S.. Wheabee, DIR. R. Percy Smith,
H. P. Stewart, F. B. Smith, Mr.. and Mrs.
F. A. Bonsal, Donald Stewart, Redmond
Stewart and--Cochran. The party
had with them 10 horses and 80 fox
hounds.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company broke allrecords for quick work
on Sunday morning last when the old
bridge across Swan Creek was removed
and the new one placed in position. in
exactly four minutes after the end rails
had been taken up and everything put in
readiness. Theerection of the new bridge
on the outside of the old one was COM
pleted on Saturday, with the floor system
all in place, the rails spiked to the ties,
the old and the new structure connected
up and the engine and all tackle secured
ready to make the movement between I
trains on Sunday morning. AS soon as
the train that left Baltimore at $50
crossed the bridge, the track hands re-
moved the rails at each end of the old
bridge. This required four minutes.
Then the builders started their engine
and the change was made in the time
above mentioned. 1t required some ad- |
proaches to the rails of the bridge, at the
west end of which were water tanks,
where engines obtain their water while
at high rate of speed.
Among those mentioned for the direc- :;
torship of the Tome Institute at the ;
-ecent election was DR.. Thomas S. Baker.
