BUZZ LINE FROM NORFOLK.
Surveyors Near Cape Henry-Ru'
mors of New Project.

NORFOLK. Va, January 1O.-Rumors
OF new railroad building which seem
to have substantial foundation prevail.
and woman farmer of Princess Anne
county reports that a surveying party,
who did not reveal in what interest they
were acting. surveyed a line through her
property near Cape Henry Saturday, and
indicated that they were locating a new
railroad to that cape.
IL Is known that the Frank j. Gould in
terest contemplates constructing an cleo
trio road from Washington to Norfolk
via Richmond, Of which a portion already
has been built, and II Is suspected that
this interest may design to run through
TO the Atlantic at Cape Henry and estab-
lish shore resort at that fine beach.
Another theory lis that the Pennsy!-
vania. which is double-tracking the New
FORK. Philadelphia and Norfolk railway.
nd Is suspected of having control of the
Iorfoik and Southern, contemplates link
" these roads by constructing a few
dies of track near Cape Henry. estab-
shing a car ferry across Chesapea Ike
~, some sixteen miles, and thus form
through line between New York
d the south via Norfolk. Such IA line
,uld be perhaps sixty miles shorter
also lower grade than is one via
:hmond and Washington.
