the case or many who have achieved

at the start when they had TO count
their pennies and exercise prudence
and thrift in their expenditures and
the management Of their affairs
With vast majority of those who are

DEPOT FOR HAGERSTOWN.
Low Grade Line from WilliamspOrt
to Westminster.

10 westminster.
The Western Maryland Railroad
Company has submitted to the Mayor
and City Council OF Hagerstown
blueprint plans OF the new passenger
depot to be erected i'm that city, with
plans for laying two more tracks on
Foundry street. The new depot,
which will be built on the block
bounded by Franklin, Foundry and
Washington streets, will be 135 feet
long and b feet wide and will oc-
cupy the center Of the block with
grass plots on either side. There
will be a grass slope 275 feet in length
on the east side OF the building, and
street will be opened extending
from Washington to Franklin streets
along the east side or the slope.
There will be entrances to the depot
from Foundry street facing the
tracks and also on the other two
streets. Two additional tracks
Washington streets. The application
Of the Company for permission to lay
additional tracks is taken to mean
that the Company expects to begin
work on the new depot shortly.
The rumor current in the last few
days that the Cumberland Valley
Railroad had acquired posses

shops i'm that city has been revived,

property. The rumor goes further
to the effect that the Western Mary
land has an option on valuable prop
erty and tract Of land at Williams
port.

Company will shortly establish large
shops at that place, especially If the
