deep. Then it begun to get cold
and i'll a little while the mercury
dropped below zero. A blizzard
set in and in a little time the snow
drifted until practically all traffic
ceased. The trains Oh the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad were tied up
for days, and it took ten days for
a freight train to go from Wheel
ing to Baltimore. Much stock
persisted from cold and hunger be-
fore they could reach their destina-
ton. Many train crews opened
the cars and drove the stock to
haystacks and in that way some
were saved.
1.-The passenger trains were tied
up at different points, sometimes
miles away from town or settle
ment, and passengers and crews
endured great deal of suffering.
They had to get out and break
down fences and gathered brush
wood for fires to keep from freezing
until the rescue parties, whom the
railroad company started out to
aid them safely through. This
was one of the severest in the men,
DRY of man in this vicinity. The
Baltimore & Ohio railroad was fin
ished in 1886, and the men who
worked on it were all leaving to
work on the Louisville & Nashville.
They had gathered at St. Marys
to take a boat down the Ohio
river, The river froze up and was
frozen over for forty days, hence
they were unable to proceed on
their journey, and their suferings
from cold and lack of nourishment
were extreme.

cord breakers in way but could

Wabash Interests Take Over Valuable
Coal Road Property With Equip
rnent, -

The Western Maryland railroad
on Thursday took over the entire
capital stock of the Georges Creek
and Cumberland railroad company.
1t will proceed at once to assume
the official organization and oper-
alton of the property.
The George Creek railroad runs
from Cumberland to Detmold
Mine, Homecoming, Md, and with
branches, has $3.50 miles of track.
1t has 10 locomotives and SOL cars.
The capital stock is 81 900, 900,
par $50. The bonded debts of the
road are S536,ooo first IS, dated
1879 and due October I, 1909; in
terest April and October, at Amer
lean Coal company, New York.
There is also a second mortgage
loan, not represented by bonds, of
SOS, 900, due February I, 1908. as
sumed from the Pennsylvania Rail
road in Maryland.
The earnings of the road for the
year ended June so, 1905, were:

other income, S3,IS1; charges,
S43,8I1; dividends, $3.50, DOOR. De-

was natural step for the Western
Maryland to take over this road,
and much of the product Of this
part of the Georges Creek coal RI
gion will go to Baltimore ovaM

1t is said that the acquisition Of
this road has no connection with
the propose Cumberland extern
sion to Wheeling and Pittsburg.
However, it would give a start Of
one and half miles on such all
extension and would afford a route
through "the narrows", an excep-
tionally difficult region for con-
struCtion work.

THE 3. & 0. R. R. is. ARRAIGNED
Charged With Being Member of Gil
santic Coal Trust and Owner
of Private Cars.

Hidden away in the legal YER
biage of the suit over car shortage
of the independent coal operators
against the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad is the charge that the
railroad is a party to one of the
biggest coal trusts in the United
States, and that the transportation
line really owns a large part of the
private cars, which it allots to
favored shippers.
The largest coal shippers over
Baltimore and Ohio are the Con-
solidation, Somerset and Fairmont
companies in which it was ac
knowledged the Baltimore and
Ohio owned stock up to the time
the Supreme Court of the United
States decided no common car
rier could own coal mines along
its route AS a result the Balti-
more and Ohio announced last
summer it had disposed gifts hold
ings in the coal corporations.
The Pitcairn Coal Company,
which brings the suit against the
Baltimore and Ohio, in the name
of all the independent operators in
the Somerset region, over their
car shortage question, makes the
bold assertion that this deal was
never consummated and that the
Baltimore and Ohio still controls
the three biggest coal mining cor
porations shipping over its lines.
The allegation is made that a
small sum Of money and the stock
control of the coal company passed
to trustee who holds the corpora
tons for the railroad company.
The Baltimore and Ohio has
owned the Consolidation Company,
which owns the Fairmont Com
pany. The Fairmont Company
owns the Clarksburg Fuel Com
pany, and the Pittsburg and Fair
mont Fuel Company. The Con-
solidation Company also owns the
Somerset Coal Company, the
Southern Coal and Transportation
Company, and the Cumberland
and Pennsylvania Railroad.
This combination is capitalized
at S37, 1000, 900, and mines 4 200, :
900 tons of coal annually, running
fleets to New England ports, ships
in the foreign trade, and has an
extensive trade in the Pittsburg
district and on the Great Lakes.
1t is charged that Of the $500
cars which the Baltimore and Ohio
placed at the disposal of the mines
on the Monongahela division in
one month, the Fairmont Company
alone got 1902, leaving but 700
for thirty-odd independent mine
owners.

THE BATTLE IS
TO A FINISH.
National Administration Making War
on Railroads.
WILL ENTER THE CAMPAIGN
OF loOS-PeOple Do Not Fully Appre-
ciate the Bitterness of the Battle.
VIII Be Remembered for Years to
Come.

Washington, Jan. 22.-It is ser
iously to be doubted whether the
country comes anywhere near to
approaching the significance of the
attack all along the line that the
Roosevelt Administration is max
ing on the railroads of the United
States. The casual reader doubt
less notes that some action is being
taken in this court and another in
that but perhaps he does notstop
to reflect upon the meaning and
consequences involved. As a mat
ter of fact, the administration is en-
gagged in most desperate battle
with the railroad interests at the
present moment, the echo of which
will be heard i'll the court for sew
eral years to come and in the next
national campaign. The bitter.
ness of the fight is not shown to
the country, but is evidenced in
the multiplicity of attack now be-
ing pushed by the administration,
on the one hand, and the political
maneuvering going on among the
railroad and financial interests to
sign the death warrant of Roose-
veltian policies, on the other.
There can be no doubt that the
fight is to be to finish.
Under the direction of the Pres
ident all departments of the Gov
eminent are waging war against
the biggest game they can find.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion is after the Hartman and
Hill interests in the railroading;
the Bureau Of Corporations is af-
ter the Standard Oil Co., for tax
ing rebates; the Interior Depart
lnent is after the biggest game it
can scare mp III the land fraud
cases, including the railroads; the
Postofhce Department is preparing
is preparing to whale the railroads
on their mail contracts; the Agri-
cultural Department is on the trail
Of the packers and food manufac-
turers in the enforcement of the
pure food law, which they cannot
ship as interstate commerce un-
less properly labeled, and so on
down the line. Only the War and
Navy Departments, the dogs Of
real war" have not yet been
"sicked" on the enemies of the
Republic" In this fghl the &C
tivities ofall departments pale into
insignifcance before the onslaught
of the Inter State Commerce Com
mission.
To begin with, it must be un-
derstood that whenever the Inter
State Commerce Commission be-
comes aggressive it is reasonably
certain that in the end, if the new
rate law is effective, the ruling Of
the Commission will cost the rail-
roads money. Every time the
Commission passes on the reason
ableness of a railroad rate, and
finds against the railroads, it costs
them money; every Recommended
ton for safety device, if enacted
into law by Congress, will cost
them money: every inquiry into
illegal mergers, if found to be IL
legal, will cost them money; every
suit won in court for rebating will
cost them money. In respect TO
having its pocketbook touched a
corporation has as much Soul" as
a human being. This, in part, ac-
counts for the bitterness of the
present warfare.
