TO JOIN RAILROADS.
New Pennsylvania Corporation
Has Big Project.

A new railroad corporation, which has
Just secured charter in Pennsylvania
under the name of the Potomac and Sus-
quehanna Railroad, is said to have for its
object the construction of a line, in which
several existing railroad lines will be
Joined, to extend from Williamsport, Pa,
to Baltimore, Md by way of Frederick.
The project is said to include the Wash
ington, Frederick and Gettysburg line
from Frederick to Thurmont among the
roads which it is proposed to link togeth-
er. 1t was learned today that represen-
tatives of the new corporation had been
in Frederick looking over the field, and
intimated to officers of the Frederick
Railroad Company that an offer for the
rhurmont road might be made. 1t was
stated, however, that no offer was actu-
lily made, and the local company had
made no overtures for the sale of the
property. The management of the local
company, it is also stated, was not con-
.erned in the new corpora tion.
1t is understood that the new project
las not been definitely worked out, as
'egards termini, but it is thought that
he line will start on the north at Will
Transport, Pa, where it will connect with
me of the lines of the New York Central
eailroad. From that point it is said, the
inc will come down by way of Duncan
ION, keeping to the west bank of the
,usquehanna, crossing the mountain from
)uncannon to Carlisle, thence to New
lille, Shippensburg, Chambersburg,
ireencastle, Waynesboro, Pen-Mar,
rhurmont and Frederick. The promo
ors of the project, it is said, also con-
emplate the building of line from
ihurmont to Gettysburg.
1t is said the line will be partly steam
md partly electric. Negotiations are
low pending for thepurchase of the troll
ey line being built from Carlisle to New
lille and the Chambersburg, Greencastle
4 Waynesboro Street Railway. This will
leave a gap between MELVILLE and Cham.
bersburg, one from Pc lmar to Thurmont
and one from Thurmont to Gettysburg
to be constructed, besides all north of
Carlisle to destination.
The parties interested are represented
by a we'll known engineer and contract
ing firm of Philadelphia. Representa-
tives last week went over the c., &. &
W. line and expressed themselves as very
much pleased with it. They have made
proposition to the c., G. & W. Compa-
ny, which the latter is holding under ad-
visement, but which it is said will be ac-
cepted by the stockholders as it stated to
be very attractive one. 1t is said that
if the transfer of stock is made the new
company will extend the lire from Cham
bersburg to MELVILLE this summer and
there connect with the line now being
built from Carlisle to Newville, thus CIV

There were fourteen OF these men. and

ADVISES PROPER BALlNG
Importance Pointed Out by Interstate
Commerce Commission.

Commerce Commission.
Washington. D. c., May 1o.--A deci-
sion was handed down by the Inter
state Commerce Commission to-day
dealing with the Importance of the
proper baling of cotton shipped from
points in the South to European des-
the commission says:
1T is not deemed amiss to call the
attention OF cotton growers and ship
pers and the railroads to the fact that
cotton bales from the United States
shipped to Europe are received in worse
condition as to packing than cotton
bales arriving there from any other
country.
The case was brought BY Anderson.
Clayton G. Co. of Oklahoma, against
the Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific
Company and other interstate carriers.
in which 1t was alleged that every
service. including the applying of own
ers or shippers patches to cotton
bales in their compression. was in
cluded in the through rate to final
destination of the shipment.
The commission holds that the facts
do not justify an order against the
defendant carriers: that the carriers
have the right to compress cotton in
transit. and that the shippers or own
crs have the privilege of concentrate
ing cotton at designated congresses.
with the right of such shippers or
owners to deliver the cotton back to
the carriers for transportation to Its
hnal destination on the through rate
from point of origin.
