gers experienced in travelling be
tween Elkins and Belington and
that sffty suits might be brought
against the Baltimore & Chic r;lil-
road The delay appears tc have
occurred as stated IN that article,
but it was not the fault of hi Bal
fimore & Ohio railroad, as stated by
the travelling man and as the 'feie-
gram might have known had there
not been an oversight in he matter,
but was On the Western Maryland
system and was caused by the attcn-
ttion given to an officer OF the
Davis Coal & Coke company, who
