A Trolley Line @Dream. "

The following special was sent
out to the press from Hagerstown
last Saturday:
If plans that are now being
formed mature it is believed that
one may soon ride on electric cars
from BerryviIIe. Va. to Harris
burg, Pa.
Much of theterritory between the
two towns is already possessed of
trolley lines, and many extensions
are planned. If these are carried
.out 1t will not be long before the
missing links in the trolley chain
between the two cities will be built.
The Hagerstown Electric Rail-
way Company. which has lines ex-
tending to Williamsport, on the
west, Shady Grove. Pa, on north.
and Boonsboro and MyersviIle. on
the e2st, is now considering the
building of an extension from
Boonsboro to Keedyville and.
eventually, from Keedyviilc to
Sharpsburg via the Antietam battle
field.
At Shady Grove the Hagerstown
company system connects with
the electric road extending from
Pen-Mar Ia Wayrcsboro. Green
castle and Chambersburg.
Governor Stuart of Pennsylva-
ma, on Friday signed the extension
OF ihe charter OF the Chambrrsburg.
Grecncastle and Waynesboro Elec-
trio Railway Company, which con-
templates the building of an extern
slon from ChamhersburG to Ship
pensburg. Much of the right-of-
way has already beeu secured.
AT Charles Town. jefferson
county, ". Va, last week, a COM
pany was granted "a franchise to
build an electric railway to Berry
vile and other points in Virginia
and West Virginia, reaching as far
north "a the Potomac river. With
the building of this road, it is be-
ilevcd the HaSerstwon company
~ - .th iAN - Sititi W CODntCI
with the lines in the Nirginias.
The trolley road from Harris
burg, south through the Cumber-
land valley, has been in operation
for some time.
The franchise mentioned between
Charles Town and Beryville prob
ably refers to the franchise of the
big electric power company, men,
toned in another column of the
COURIER, as nothing can be learned
otherwise concerning an electric
franchise.
1t is most probable that the
Hagerstown press correspondent
merely had an electric dream, :"
and while his system was filled
with the volts, amperes and watts.
gave free rein to his facile pen,
with the result above chroniced.

Anti-SalOOliStS Helping Mann.

Private information in regard to
the Anti-Saloon League Conven-
ton, now in session in Norfolk.
forecasts adoption of a platform
calling for local option for the

Such platform will materially
aid the cause of Hon. William
Hodges Mann, who is a prominent

date for Governor.
Hon. Harry St. George Tucker.
it is understood, is also a local
optionist, but the backing of the
Anti-Saloon League will. it IS be-

Mann.
Hon. Carter Glass. who is a

lively announced that he will not

year.
The machine" element appears
to be backing Mann, and as this
element in the Democratic party
of the State is also prominent in

League, all things point to Mann
as Nirginia'S next Governor.
