WASHINGTON. Jay Gould’s Curious Railroad Project. The Reifrond Trouwbles of the East. Pennsylvania Company vs. Baltimore & Ohio. The " Comprehensive Railway Sys: tem.” Fyom Our Own Correspondent, WasnxazoN, April 24, 1873, Juy Gould, that extraordinary piceo of gristlo snd black eye, is now porforming VERY CURIOUS PIECE OF DUBINESS, which has attracted tho stock-markot a8 much as- A1 o woro buifldiug a through lino to the Groat West; it fa tho connoclion of Now York-with Baltimore; Norfollk, and Richmond, by rail and ferrion. This will hava boon completely dono by tho peach-sonson and at tho gathering of harvost and the cotton-crop. Tho magnitude of Gould's namo, and his proportions a# o mpeculator, should not bido tho utility and shrowdnoss of this, his Intest entorpriso. 1t is as follows: Mr. Gould is tho Prosident of tho Now Jorsey Bouthern Raflrond, which oxtends from Bandy Hook without broak to Bayside, on the Dolaware Day, 117 milos,—branching off also to Camden, opposito Philadelphin. From Now York to Bandy Hook is 26 miles of sato navigation, always opon. From Bayside to Bombay Hool, in the Btata of Delaware, is a forry of 4 miles, Thence, by communicntfons noatly porfact, it ia 60 miles ncross the Dolawaro and Maryland Poninsula to tho Chesapeake, and thence by forry 10milos across the bay, or by water 20 milles to tho, wharves of Baltimore. This makos s diroct routo for Now York to Baltimore about 212 miles long, but brokon by throe ferrios. Tho present lino of rafl throngh Philadolphin and Tronton is. 100 miles. It is monifest thab such a broken routo can hardly competo for passenger-traffio under ordinary ciroumstancos ; but tho systoms of Intornal navigation which it Intersects, the cheapness of steam-craft in the Eust, consoquent upon it supersedonco by rail- ways, and the porfoct conversanco of Goulds poople with this kind of tonnago, render it prob- oblo that, as o freight lino to tho Wost and Bouth, this is ¢ A BAGACIOUS MOVEMENT, Jay Gould is Prosident also of tho Narragan- sett Btesmship Company, which s provided with tho largest and tho most numerous flect of eteamboats on tho tidal rlvors ; and ho has just built a mammoth boat at Newport, to convey a train of thirty cars from New York to Sandy Hook. Ttishis design to cross tho Dolawaro and Chosapoako in the same way, and occupy but cloven hours in tho transit. Tho railroads in this region havo been bullt ot the minimum cost, over n level country, abounding in timbor for tios, piles, and fuol; the cost of oporating the road will be logs thau elsowhers in tho conn- try; anditwill bocome & coal-carrier ot low graden, by connecting, at Camdon, Cheater, and Wilmington, with tho Reading systems of rail snd conal, Nloroovor, the probabilities point to THE BPEEDY ABSORPTION of tho only railway bolweon Baltimorc and New York by the Ponnsylvania monopoly, which will thus Jeave the Daltimoro & Ohio, the Lynoh- ‘burg, Norfoll & Tonnossoo, and the Chesapesko & Ohio Roads without any motropolitan link, Bo exerelsed had Baltimoro City becomo on this subjact that it sooured a charter from tho Btato of Delawaro this epring, providing for a ship- conal across tho Peninsuls, Tho importanco of tho Daltimore & Ohio Noad may bo inforred from tho fact that it poy Unt for the manth af March embraced 20,000 employes, and amounted to §720,000. Tho nccusslzfor its indepondent connection with Now York {s soon from tho fact that it has repeatedly cut down mercantile froights 80 per cent from New York to tho West boyond the powor of tho other roads to carry thom, rolylng mainly upon canal and outsido stonm communication. 'Uo build overland from Baltimore to Philadelphis will involve the Baltimore & Obio Railrond in an expeuse of 8,000,000, which is 4,000,000 lots than the stock, 'bonds, and debt of fho Philadelphis. & Baltimore Rond, ond £2,000,000 more than Jay Gould’s road cost, which is doublo the ITongth of routo. Gould’s road cost but $20,000 a milo, TUE SYSTEM OF ROADS In tho Peninsula of Maryland and Delawars, now dopendent wholly upon tho Philadelphia & Dalti- mora Railroad, amouats to tho bigh llgure of 350 . miles, with nearly 100 milesmoro building. This respoctablo systom of roads, nearly all of which have beon mada einco tho Clvil War, threads tho largest peachi-orchard in the world, and sirikes evory oyater point in tho Chesapeake. A syatom of railronds of later Fro\\'flx comes in at tho head of tho Poninsula, which aro_controlled by tho pacplo of that coiiatry, and aim to intorposd_bo- ween Philadelphin and the ecn. One of theso roads leads from the City of Wilmington to the coal-rogions ; another from Wilmington to points dus west along tho Peunsylvanin line, to Qetiyuburg, o th Volby of Vigthin S it Fottys and the Vallay of Vivginia. In thia rond thergina link wun{xng of ‘omly 40 milos. Othor ronds load out from Noweastlo, and from Delawara City northweatward. Mr. Gould may pick up, thoroforo, on this small Poninsuln the points of 500 milea of road, nnd s bay come mercaof 400,000 tons, of which 120 vosdols aro stonm craft.

Erasmus Donnison, of tho United Btatos Navy, attached to tho stenmer Baranno, ut a pistol to his hoad yeatordsy, at noon, an lew Lis bralne out. Lieut, Dennison was 27 eors old, was a son of ox-Postmastor-Goneral ennieon, of Ohlo, and brothor of onry M. Dennison, Paymastor United Btates Navy, " Ilis terrible_ond may bo attributed to two causes— rum and domostic unhappiness. Dounlson graduated at tho United Statos Na- val Acadomy in tho cluss of 1866, Ho served. on soveral vossels in the navy, going up through tho difforent grades to that “of Lioutennnt, and in the foll of 1870 ho obtnined loave of absonco for ono yoar, with_pormission to vielt Eurapo. 1o wené thoro, roamed around Frauco, Gore mavy, Italy, and finally brought up in Vionna, Thore hio foll in with "a fascinating lady from 8an rrancisco—Mrs. Belim E. Woodsvorth, wifo of Commodore Woodworth, of tho navy. His neval gonuection gave him a right to bo polife to tho lndy, and ho exeroisod tho right to its fall- o8t extont, Commodore Woodworth, who waa immonsely rich, was obliged to romain {n Cali- fornin to look aftor his invostmonts, but sa his wifo was fond of travel ho permitted her, with tho ohildren, two in number, to fravel sround ZTurope to hier honrt's coutont. Mrs. Woodworth was a lmx about 80 years old ot that timo. Bho was rich, fascinaling, and very boantiful, ond, as o consoquenco, though knowing that eho was warried, Dennison foll madly iu love with her. This passion Inated for maony mounths beforo ha declared it, and finally; in doflanos of propriety, though perhaps inno- cent of any actual wrong, Mre. Woodworth por- mitted him to bo hor counstant compnnion—in fact, made him, o to spoak, omembor of hor lnmhy in Vionno, sud clsewhoro in Europo wheraver sho traveled. Finaily, this Europoan drenm of blies wds cut short (ly the denth of Commodore Waodworth in this city, about two years or loss ngo. His widow at onco roturned from Europe, ;mmg Dennison coming with her 88 for as Now York, and sho coming across tho oontinent. A fow wockaaftor hor husband's doath, and oftor settling somo mattors connected with his estato, Mra. Woodworth roturned to New Yorl and took up hor rosidence. Bix months nftor- wards, in direct opposition to tho wishes of her frionds, and without ovincing much respect for her husband's memory, she married young Den- nison. The affair croated considerable stir in fashionablo circles, both hero and in Now Yorlk, and oxcited n world of unfavorablo comment. About that timo, or shortly after tho houey- moon (If their was such a thing then in their cao), Mrs. Dennison rosolved to return to San Francisco to look nftor hor pocuninry intorests, and in ordor to havo hor husband ns near hor na possiblo sho managed to have him ordered to tho Saraunc. Tho two thon come here, and, to all appoarances, were as hnl)pg 3 could be, But there were many littlo differcnces botween them, which fiunlly lod them both to beliovo that thoy had mado & mistake. It was notall coulonr du rose, their murriod lifo. In tho flrat place, liko many other naval officors, young Dennison waa gomowhat convivial in bis habits, Ho was an adopt in tho Fnflormunca of that miraclo by which o littlo water was turned into a great doal of wino. This ecaused his wife many n hoart- scald, ond hor ggoat lovo found ftsolf geadunlly .going. Then, Roo, thoro ware cortain pangs ‘of* ‘rogret -on ‘her -part.' Though “threo or four yoars oldor than he, she hed loved him “doarly, and she could not under- stand why it was Lo thought mare of convivial- fl{ than” he did of the joys of his firesido, 8ha folt lonoly and neglected. Again, there woro Pummh shadows tlat wero constnntly spring- ng up hotween them. By the torms of her husband’s will, Mrs. Denniton wns made an oxecutrix, and had full powers, with the other exacutors, to govorn the proporty. But by hor marriago with Denuison gho threw nway this right, n fact of which sho was ovidontiy nob awaro when she put her hend instdo tho matri- monial nooko, Tho knowledge of tho position he was thus placed in ohafed her spirit,and this fact, togother with hor young husband’s intom- porance and extravegance, mado hor ono of tho ‘unhappiest of womon. Then camo o gories of jars and wrangles, and, a8 if to crown this edifico of woo, thore cnmo suothor misery. By hor hasty mavringe Mra, Donnison had thrown away her share to a goodly slico of tho Commodore’s property. Tho fnu» of this, 8 sho afterward found out, did not com- ponsnta for Nor acquisition of dominion over the young gentloman, and_thoreupon sho was morp uuhappy than over. Besides, sho accusod him of sponding hor money rocklessly, and, in faat, sctual misappropristion of a goodly portion of it. Bo this ag it may, Mra, Donnison found hor- 8olf growing poover every day, and finally folt compolled to lossen tho axlmnuos of the family, At this Dennison, who wanted to keep up atyls, aud who, it is sald, only married tho widow for lier monoy, got indignant, and becamo moro reckloss than evor, About this timo tho conple lived in n rented Liouso on Stackion atrect. Theiy lifo was one of oxocoding bittorness, ench acousing tho other of being tho cnuss of thelr mutual misery. Ono day laat snmmerDennison wont into & néighbay- ln§ dm;; storo and told the druggist to put_up & bottle of the deadliest poison ho could com- pound. Tho druggist taok a.dook at the young man, and, diviniog that his purpose waa not a ood one, put him up & bottle of harmless mix- ure, Donnison x:ut the bottle in his pockot and wont home. That night he and his wifo had enother differenco, and then ho told hor Lo was Eulng to kil himeolf. Ho swallowad about half tho contonts of the bottle, bado his wifo farowoll, rufld God to blesa her, and Iaid down on & satln sofa todle, Thisscone crented constornation in the houschold, Mrs. Dennigon soized the bottlo, and sont ouo servant to the drug store to find out_what its contents ‘wore, and another for a physician. The drug man laughod whon the gorvant informed him what had happened, and ho told hor to run home and toll hor mistross that her husband was {n no dangor, About this time tho Saranng was ordered on a cruise, and for mouths Mrs, Donni- fon lived in peace. The Saranac wont down on tho coast of Mexico, and wes gone all of thoe past winter, On Thuraday the ehip roturned and anchored in the bay, Lieut, Dcunison oame ashore aud repaired " to hia wifo's residence on Btockton atreot, This was about 5 o'clock in the ovoning. To his utter astonishment ho found his homo brokon up, and the house in chargo of an ngont of the man from whom it wos rented. Upan in- quiry ho learnod thnt Mrs, Donnison was then in milliary oustody, belng undor tho protection of Drig.-Gon, John Tlowston, Jr,, commanding the Bocond Brigade, Natlonal Guard of Culitor- nin, Tho Lisutenaut's first finpulso was to sue ont o writ of inboas corpus, but ho finally con- cluded to go in search of Aru.
