NEW DRUM POINT PLAN
Senator Wells Bill for Charter
Leaves Baltimore City Out in
the Geld.
FREDERICK CITY TERMINUS.
Line Would Run Almost Due South
From That Point and MAY Leave
Out Anne Arundel County.

A new company. the incorporators
and hackers of which are not identi
fed with the old plan for line
over the same route, is given a
charter 10 construct and operate n
steam or electric railway to the ia
nous tide water harbor at Drum
Point in bill introduced in the
Senate by senator Wells, of Prince
Georges county today.
The proposed company, which is
said to have ample capital back of it.
leaves Baltimore city completely out
of its routing, except i'm so far as
that city may derive benefit through
connections with other roads. While
all of Southern Maryland is TO be
opened up by its rails. it's northern
terminus is to be Frederick City, and
the big city it comes into closest
touch with is Washington instead of
Baltimore.
The corporate name of the railway
is the Frederick, Washington and
Drum Point Railway Company and its
incorporators are Branice E. Baker.
c. A. M. Wells. Richard Nj. Ryon.
Charles c. Mayer, Reese Carpenter
and c. Francis Owens. Two tentative
routes are laid out in its proposed line
from Frederick City to Owings Sta
tion, in Calvert county, and from this
point the road is to follow substan-
TALLY the same route as the ancient
right of way of the Baltimore and
Drum Point railroad.
From Frederick to Owings. however
one route is through Frederick and
Montgomery counties to the station of
the Chesapeake Beach Railway on the
District of Columbia line, and from
here, running with, or along. near or
adjoining or over the Chesapeake
Beach railway. The other route, leav-
ing out possible acquisition of the
Chesapeake Beach road, runs through
Frederick, Montgomery, Prince
George, Anne Arundel and Calvert
counties to Owings and from there
ovar tho old paltinaaro and npuun
Point line to Drum Point at the
mouth of the Patuxent.
A significant right granted by sec
tion of the charter allows the rail
way to deal in the stocks and secur-
tiles of ocean-going or inland water
navigation companies and grants it
the right to erect or acquire i'm its
own name such wharves and docks
as its directors may deem neces-
sary

ID. c. Craven. j. j. Burch, r. b. Kin
caid, all members of the local Aerie,
and Mr.. Hull. all of whom did eff
cient service, as told by the beauti-
full and effective decorations.

master, and managed well. Refresh
ments were served in the lower
room. Music was furnished by Pro-
fessor Schreyer's orchestra and dane
ing was from $50 to 1890. There

TO PROTECT THE CRABS.
MIR. Dennis Says They Should NOT be
Taken in Winter.

Oregon Milton Dennis, former State
Game Warden, was at the State House
yesterday and conferred with Sena.
tor Milburn, to whom he suggested an
amendment in the general oyster law
prohibiting the taking of crabs be-
tween November ] and May /.
Mr.. Dennis says that during the
closed season, which he suggests,
crabs hibernate and are dredged from
the mud. He says that if sthe taking
of the crabs during the winter months
continue as at present the crustaceau
is doomed to extinction
The Evening Capital last summer
started the plea for closed season
for crabs. and the possibility of crabs
becoming extinct if some action were
not taken to protect the shellfish the
same as oysters. Last summer crabs
were very scarce, more so than for
many years previous.

THE ANTS ARRIVE.
$50 Strong Against 10-Hour Law for
Women.

This morning the Short Line
brought here from Baltimore $50
delegates of the Gamers and packers
association of that city to protest
against the ten-hour law for women.
The delegation came on a special
car over the Short Line at $40, and
were given a hearing at the State
House.
The anti ten-hour law for women
is argued to the effect that the
canning season is so short that it is
impossible for the work to be done
with but ten hours daily work by the
women employed, and the women do
not object to the longer hours in the
canning factories during the short
season, and they could not make any
thing otherwise.
