| Excellent Arrangement |
| We learn that two ambulance cars are now
in course of preparation at the shops of the {Virginia}
Central Railroad Company in this city, the purpose being to run
one in connection with every passenger train to and from Manassas.
Each of these ambulances will contain twenty-two single and eleven
double berths, capable of accommodating forty-four persons. Under the
skillful direction of Mr. Chiles, the master of car repairs, they will
be arranged with due regard to comfort and convenience, and will
render the journey of the invalid soldier comparatively easy. It is
probably that they will be ready in a week or two. |
