The residents of Montgemery counts seem to be pretty thoroughly determined that in some way or other both of these lines shall be built. ANOTHER MEETING AT SLIGO.

The turnpike company seemed willing to make arrangements and had suggested that some definite plan be formulated and presented to the November meeting of the cirectors. Mr. Guion Miller, from the same committee, referred to the Colesville pike, and the general impression wns that the road was too narrow for railway. Of the Brookville pike directors six out of the nine had been seen and were favor- able to the projected line to Woodside. The committee's report was adopted. Mrs. Volandt Tells » Sad Story of Her Hus- band’s Cruelties. In the nest little parlor at 1235 Potomac street Mrs. Volandt, the wife of the runaway policeman, William Volandt, yesterday told a Stax reporter the darkside of her married life. As. the dererted lady spoke of her trials and tribula- tions and the conduct of the man who had sworn to stay by her through sickness and in fer with property holders as to right of way, reported progress, as did Mr. Oliver Clark and Sarauel Waters from the same committee. This committee was continued, THE DBRIGHTWOOD RAILWAY. Dr. Stone reported from the committee which had conferred with the Brightwood railway. He had received » communication from Mr. Williams, the secretary of the road, containing an estimate of the cost for building an over- head line extension, provided it ran along the turnpike, where littb grading was necessary. The estimate was $7.*00 per mile, which might be reduced by cheaper ties and poles being furnished by people along the line. m another communication Mr. Williams makes some suggestions. He says: “First. Oeganize acompany and build your road to the District line and then make a contract with the Bright- wood company to furnish the motive power for your cara, Second. Or build the road and givo the Brightwood company tho tame amount of stock (as it cost to build the road) for equipment aud motive power.” Continuing in the same letter Mr. Williams says: “These are suggestions which your compary migh' take into consideration. Of course, at t time the Brightwood company has all it can possibly do to,carry out the provisions of ‘thei charter within the time specified and at -this time could not think of extending. ‘Therefore, if your people wanted a railroad you would have to raise the money to build it.”” PROPOSED ORGANIZATION OF 4 COMPANY. Dr. Stone urged that a company be formed diately for building the roads wanted, and suggested that if it was necessary to wait until the legislature met that the work might be given to the people in the county. Mr. Guion Miller, from the same committee, said that if the road or roads should be built there would be no difficulty in arranging terms with the Brightwood company, as their line would be only too glad to have the extensions as feeders, There was, he stated, no neces to wait until the legislature met, as the road could be incorporated under the general in- corporation laws of Maryland, and such in- corporation. he thought, would give the right to. condemn land. ‘The report was adopted. Mr.*Riley Deeble proposed that the mecting get down to business. He had counted seventy- i -s containing probably an average o! five inhabitants each who would’ use the pro- posed extension to Woo@eide. THe himself Id pay for the construction of a single- track road in front of his property at Woodside (some 900 to 1,000 feet). SANDY SPRINGS WANTS A RAILROAD. Mr. George Bonifant eulogized the neighbor- hood of Sandy Sptings and wanted some road tobe built which wouid keep right on to that heaven-favored locslity. Mr. Asa Stabler and Robert Miller, also of Sandy Springs, spoke of the desire of the Sandy Springs people for rail- way facilities. Dr. Stone.explained that there was no ciash between the two proposed lines. He thonght the generally accepted plan was for a road from Takoma, across country to Burnt Mills and thence up the Northwest branch to Sandy Springs, and another from the District line at Silver Springs along the pike to Woodside. Mr. Benjamin Fawcett thought the first thing to accomplish was to find ont defi- i traffic arrangements could be made with the Brightwood Company. People would not, he thought, put money in a plan until it was known exactly what the roa ‘h must lan the passengers in the ejty would do. Maj. O'Driscoll thought the first thing to do was to incorporate, and then a regular business con- ference could be hadjwith the Brightwood Com- pany. PIE. B. F. Peters offered a resolution provid- ing for a committee of nine to be appointed by the chair to select and recommend a rofite and children clustered around her filled with tears. ‘MES. VOLANDT'S STORY. Said Mrs. Volandt: “Daring ‘all our eleven years of married life he has'treatedme cruelly, often descending so far as to strike me. Once, while in the army and stationed at Fort Bid- weil, Celiformta, in troop C, second cavalry, he so cruelly treated me that the officer in com- mand had him placed in the guard house. In order to help iim along at much as possible I did the washing while there for fifty’ roldvers. To get through it alil was often obliged to work froin sunrise to sunset. “Once when the accumulated bills amounted to nearly €200, the soldiers only paying me every three months, he went among them and collécted all they owed, alleging that I was in great need of the money. As soon as they paid him he went to a gambling houee and lost it all in one night. For this complained to the offi- cer in charge, who once again put Volandt in the guard house and issued orders that all money due for washing should be paid to me alone. ‘At another time when I hnd about $100 in the honse and just after his enlistment had ex- red he took it all and deserted me, going to Itimore. ‘There he spent it in about two months. Then he began to think of home again, but not baving the means wherewith to reach’ it,he tramped it back, begging money and rides on the way. Though his home has always been as. pleasant as that of any man of his station, he would never seck it only when | necessary. To sleep and eat hurriedly in’ it was all he sought it for. THE OTHER WOMEN. “Of Into I have received several anonymous letters telling me of my husband's intimacy with other women, A few weeks ago he was seen at the theater in company with a married woman, With another woman he became so intimate that her husband threatened her with a divorce suit, and finally to bring her out of tempiation’s way moved out of Volandt's neighborhood. This intimacy with the Henderson woman,” Mra. Voland+ continued, ‘‘wng first made known to me about one month ago. Then I saw them standing in her father’s bar room door conversing in the most familiar manner. After seeing them later several times together I spoke to Mr. Morgan, her father, about it, but he replied that his ghter didn’t givea match for the finest man Nevertheless the two are now. together ago. “This Sirs, Henderson. havo been suthorita- tively informed, left her husband in Baltimore for no cause at all. She simply wanted to be | free. Her little daughter bas b left behind to bear the insults that will be heaped upon her in later life. HER FUTURE PLANS. “With no money at all coming ia,” gaid Mrs. Voiandt, ‘we can no longer live in our present house, and yesterday I received a position at Fort Myer of washerwormn to the soldier ‘The officers in command have placed at my dit posal a small house and there Y and my’ chi fren will go. Washing is hard work, but I must do it for my and his children’s sake.” HOW VOLANDT LEFT. On the evening of the day Voland! left he sent his wife from the honse on some pretext in order that he might pack his satchel without | # . 4 m 3 "y 4 secure articles of incorporation, the committee notice or discovery that he had gone. | Mra. | io determine which cangrieyays)y advantageous Volandt went to the station, where she hoped | fate to fallow aud to reports Ae. Vetions to hear news of him, but her con-| ainendments were offered, and an extended dis- solation letter | addresssed 0) cussion followed as to whether one or two com- handwriting. In | wittees should be appointed. Mr. Fred Benjamin proposed a substitute resolution, providing for a committee of nine, to take into consideration the route from Ta- koma to Burnt Mills and Sandy Springs and find out what subscriptions for stock could be raised ai what traffie arrangements could be made and a committee of three to consider in a like manner the proposed route to Woodside. Mr. B. F. Leighton. thought that before sub- scriptions could be urked it would be necessary to show what a1 gements could be made. He thought a commitiee should first investigate the laws and find out whether the corp conid incorporate under the general laws and if so to present some definite plan. It would be premature to ask subscriptions for a tentative rond Mr. Benjamin explained that the committees would only be expected to find in a genéral way what subscriptions might bye looked for providing the roads ran in eertain directions, Ho had the authority of Mr. ‘oyun, the attorney tor the Baltimore and Ohio, that the company could *be incorporated under the general laws, COMMITTEES APPOINTED. Mr. Benjamin's substitute was then adopted and the chair appointed as the two committees: On Burnt Mills and Sandy Spring route, Benja- min F. Peters, B. F. Gilbert, Daniel O'Driscoll, Samuel Waters, Dr. Francis on to Baltimore. of which place she said che was so tired. “Yours, with love, Stella Wyatt,” wound up the penciled missive.’ Stella Wyatt is a married woman, who, until a short time | ago, resided on 32d street.
