The proposition bas now been made and is in effect that the Pennsylvania company will give the stockholders of the Bald Eagle valley three shares of Pennsylvania stock and a cash honas of fifty dollars per share for every share of Bald Eagle stock ; which will mean that the stockholders in the Bald Eagle Valley will get about $333 per share for their stock. Quite a lot of this stock is held by residents of Bellefonte and Centre county, the largest holders being Mrs. W. P. Wilson, the Cartin estate, the Blanchard estates, the Rhoads estate and the Jack Thompson estate. They bave been given until September 14th to accept or decline the offer of the Penosylvania company, but there is po doubt that all will accept, as the offer means that they will not only get iu cash the par value of their stock bet get io stock of the Peonsylvania railread enoungh to give them an annual income of twenty-one per cent. as against ten per cent., the amonut they have been drawing on their Bald Eagle stock. Since the above proposition bas been made there have been many romois circu- | lated Lereanouts regmiding improvements and extensions. Oue is that as soon as the Pennsylvania company gets control of the Bald Eagle they will double track the en- tire live and thus make it a cas off to di- | vert the trafic from the main line to the | Philadelphia aud Erie division. | Another rnmor is that the link will be | built trom Lemont te Fairbrook,connecting | the two portiovs of the Lewisburg and | Tyrone railroad.
