RaiLroap Rumors. — Last week the |
WatcaMAN published an item relative to
a proposition the Pennsylvania railroad
company would make the Bald Eagle Val-
ley railroad company for the merging of
that road with the Pennsylvania. 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
