1 THE RAILROADS
Plans Proposed fo Unite Five Big.
I? Trunk Lines.
AIR LINETRAIN NORTH TO SOUTH'
Pennsylvania, Southern, Richmond,
tFrederlcksburjr aiid-Potomac and:/
', Atlantic Coast ldne tp.Unite. ?;.*
Otber Items of Interest.
According to a plan proposed-. in ; tho.
Une of the policy of mutual'ty of inte-r-:
csts is to undte the Pennsyivania from
Quantico to Washington, the Richmond/
Fredericgsburg and Potomac, the South?
ern, the Atlantic Coast Line and the
Baitlmore and Ohio roads. and thus give
a thro'u_h line between the N.:th and.
South.
The Baltimore Sun of yesiterday says:.
It ls proposed to make the. comblnation
for the purpose of maintaining an open.
Oiighway for- railroad service between.
the North and South and the parties
named as likely to be in such anagree
rnc-nt, lf 4t is consumnr.ated, are to ba
the Pennsyivania Railroad, the Baltimoro;
and Ohio. the Atlantic Coast-Line and..
the' Southern Raiiway. Ona of the pre-'
liminaries to such a move was' effected:
at tho recent meeting of .stockholders of
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto?
mac Rallrcad, when . it was decidod to
do away with the *cale system of voting
the stoc't of the company. The propos'
tlon to wlpe out this feature was voted
on' by about 15.000 of' the preferred and'
common shares of the company out of
a total issue of sme 17,000 shares. It re?
ceived tho unanimous sanction of the
stock represented at the mfetlng. j
?Under the scale system of voting a
majority of sto.k. if heid by one owner,
did not mean a control of the company, '
a_. for example, 500 shares of stock if
divided among 50 owners would have'
a greater number of votes than if held
ln a block by one owner. The effect of
the stockholders;' action is to give the At
la'ntlc Coast L1ne the control of the
Itichmond, Frcdcrlcl-sburg and'Potomac
Railroad. This property. in connection
with Uie line of the Penr.sylvanla Rail?
road. forms a neck thrcugh which a
"ilarge share of tlie" traffic movement.
north and south via Washington fiow_.."
CO__MON" INTERESTS.
The .chem. of a mutuallty of interests
ls the plan recently inaugurated by tha
Pennsyivania, Baltimore and Ohio and'
Vanderbilt lines to put an end to the
building of parell.l linei when the busi?
ness can bo eared for by ex:.sUr._ routes.
With the. charter recently given by the
Legislature of . Virginia .to the 6e_board
Adr Line interests authority is available
to parellel from Richmond to Washing?
ton the line formed by the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac and the
line from Quantico. The proposition now
under construction is evidently aimed to
do away with the necessity for the con?
struction of .such. a line. The Seaboard
Air Line is a joint user with the Atlantic
Coast Line of the existing route between
Richmond and Washlngton, and the pro?
posed comblnation would. lt ls understood
provide for.a.continiiance oflhls arrange
ment
lt is said to be the general purpose to
give all llncs Uiat may go Into the plan
equal rights and make the ccmbined lines'
an cpenhighway. There is a heavy. bus?
iness handled how between Richmond
and Washington via Quantico and tho
facilities'are sa:d to bc- equal to an in
creos-21 busiri_s. When the traffic war?
rants it the whole line can be made a
doubk- track road. It has been kept in
a modern physical . condition and tha
pro<=pect of the need for a second track
has recently been considered. The Rich?
mond. Fredericksburg and Potomac has
resources available to carry out this im
provcircnt of its line whenever it is deem
e_ necessary and such a betterment is
iprily a question of, decision with the
Pennsyivania railroad for its part of tho
route. Baltimore and Ohio oflieials have
had in view for some time the establish
ment of a direct connection for the South,.
and the Seaboard Air Line is generally
rcgarded as its .probable ally in this direc?
tion.
?EFFECT ON WASHINGTON.
In connection with the proposed combi
nation the depot question at Washington
is likely to receive some similar treat?
ment looking to a mutuality of interests.
Some overtures have already been made
between Pennsylvania Railroad officials
and those of the Atlantic Coast Line,
Southern Rallway and other lines. from.
the South entering Washington relative to.
a unlon depot for the Xorth and South
traffic. This may take a larger signih
cance owing to the effort being made in
Washington to have Congress require all .
the roads entering Washington use a unlon
terminal. The Baltimore and Ohio as
well as the Pennsylvania has plans for
a new depot and the elevation of tracks
to meet the demands imade in the act
passed by Congress. Both of these big
systems contemplate heavy expenditures
in this direction and the question of uni
fying this exrpense and give to Washing-'
! ton a great unlon terminal has metr with
i some approval from members of the of
i flcial family of both roads. . -

address the Doctor showed that he. pos
sessed a great deal of tact Jn talklng to
children as well as ability,to preach the
Gospel to promlscuous congregations.
At the regular morning servlce a large
: congregation assembled to hear Dr.
Guerrant preach his lirst sermon. In the
preliminary servlces the Doctor showed
his experlenco ln preparing the minds as
well as the hearts of all present^to listen
attentively to the sermon he Intended to
dellver.
After a few* introductory remarks the
Doctor took for his text: "And the angel
said unto them, iFear not,-for, behold! I
bring you good tidlngs of great joy,
which shall be to all people." His die
course ln unfoldlng this text was one of
great power and very impressive through?
out,'at times bringing tears to the eyes
of many of his hearers.
The impression made upon1 the morning
congregation was such that although the
night was stormy a good congregation
greeted the. Doctor to hear his evening
discourse. As seems to be his custom he
again by a few introductory .remarks
prepared the minds of his hearers for
Che sermon, and took for his text: "And
we know that all things work together
for good to them that love God?to them
who are called according to His pur?
pose." It Is not saying too much. to
state that a more comfortlng discourse
was never delivered to. a congregation
than Dr. Guerrant's exposition of this
text. Many a sad heart was cheered, and
despondent souls left the church that
night greatly encouraged by the words
that had' Been spoken by the preacher.
Dr. Guerranfs manner is plej.sant. He
is fluent, and every wo.rd shaoj*'; that he
ls in earnest in his endeavor to ^ln souls
for Christ. He, is so clear and simple in
his use of language that a child can un?
derstand' overy word he utters. He
si<e.aks from the heart to the heart with
wonderful effect.
The servlces -will continue during all
this week at tho Grace-Street Presbyte?
rian Church at 12 o'clock noon and at 8
o'clock at night. There will be a wel
come to all who desire to hear Dr. Guer?
rant.
