From the Washington Herald of No
vember 6. =F.ss'.
Eight Washington business men
stood on a muddy embankment, just
outside of Brentwood, yesterday, and
watched a brawny laborer drive the
spike holding in place the first rail OF
the long-awaited railroad connecting
the National Capital with the famous
battle field of Gettysburg.
In this little group of Washing
tonians were VIM. H. Saunders, presi-
dent of the Washington, Westminster
and Gettysburg Railroad; e. P.
Thomas, vice president; +. FL. Saun-
ders, secretary and treasurer; ThoS.
B. Redmond, general manager of the
company, and A. B. Farquhar, A. a.
Chaplin, Allan Farquhar, Claude Liv-
ingston, and Henry L. West, officers
and directors of the road.
There was no pOmp connected with
the occasion-no ceremony. There
was no golden spike to be driven by
governors of States-no applauding
crowd. But these eight men knew
that with that moment one of the
greatest financial and commercial
projects this city has ever known was
put under way.
a short distance away were piled
railroad materials in sufficient guam
uty to push the road miles into parts
or Maryland and Pennsylvania never
before given the slightest transpor-
tauon advantage. This occason meant
not only a triumph for Washington
financial genius, with the first Of $3,-
ooO,OOO being expended, but also a
triumph in that virgin territory was
oelng opened up by its means. U
