Notes of the Railroads.

The surveyors who are running lines
for the B. & o. cutoff through Shep-
herdstown have been working east OF
town this week, and were surveying on
the Hause farm Tuesday and Wednesday.
This is some distance north of the former
survey. There are no new developments
as to the proposed line.
Engineer w. T. Stone, OF the b. & ..
Railroad, has moved with his family from
Pa;terson's Creek to Harper's Ferry,
where he has rented home and expects
to be located for two years. He will be
employed ON the extensive Improvements
to be made by the B. & o. in this section.
Although details have not yet been given
out, ii is apparent that the railroad will do
a vast amount of work on IFS lines both
east and west of Harper's Ferry.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany has purchased the Arthur Neff farm
of $50 acres at Green Spring, w. Va,
about IA miles east of Cumberland, also
100 acres from Mr. Reece and thirty acres
from Mrs, Kate Baker, paying in cash
S35. 900 for the same, and will shortly
establish at that place tie-creosoting
plant. Men are now at work erecting an
office building, from which the construc-
ton of the necessary sidingS and build
ings will be directed. and when the creo-
soting plant is completed it is understood
that all new cross ties for the entire sYs-
tenn will be taken TO that point and al
lowed to soak in strong preservatives
until ready for use. When completed
about $50 men will be required to run the
creosote dipping plant and yards, ana
this will more than double the population
OF Green Springs.
