The Baltimore and Ohio railroad

special trains 10 Washington during

thought they will run early in the

neers are being taken over the road
in order to acquaint them with the

running passenger trains so they can
perform their duties properly.
SO far, no special rate has been
announced from this city, and the
presumption is that the regular fare
will have to be paid.
