RAILROAD TIE BUSINESS
Several Bargcs Will be Loaded at This
Port During the Fall.

Railroad tie business on the Poto-
mac. which has waned considerably
during the past year and half, Is
beginning to awaken.
The big barge William l.. Donohue,
belonging to the Eastern Transporta-
ton Company, was recently brought
to the shipyards at this port and at
once began taking aboard cargo ot
10000 ties, which she will take to
Boston. The Donohue is the first YES
sci to load railroad ties at Alexandria
in eighteen month, but it is said she
will be followed by other vessels. and
it is probable that shipments will be
followed by other vessels. and it IS
probable that shipments will be ve"y
brisk this fall.
Several barges are reported at High
Point. Quantico and other points along
the river loading ties for Philacei-

ties are being made by the Washing
