This jg a big bargain, and we we only able to carry it out above plan, THE BEECH CREEK NOT SOLD, From the following interview ha with Hon, 8. R. Peale it would appear that the Beech Creek railroad had not been sold to the Penn’a R. R. “Ig it true that the Beech Creek road has been sold to the Iennsylvania rail- road company ?” was asked of Hon. 8. R. Peale at Lock Haven by a Democrat re- porter. No sir, it is not. A proposition has been made by the Pennsylvania railroad company to buy the Beech greek road, but it has not been accepted except by such stockholders as have other purpo- ges to serve. The Pennsylvaniarailroad company is extremely anxious to get this property, and the newspapers in their interest have been industriously publishing that they have got it, and that the road will be turned over to them in a short time. They have not got it and they will not get it if it is in our power to prevent it, and I believe it is in our power to do so. 1 de not object because it is the Pennsylvania Railroad Company that seeks to absorb the BB pech Creek railroad, but 1 object to the idea of concentrating all transportation lines throughout Pennsylvania in the hands of any one company. I feel that it would be very disastrous to the business inter- ests of Clinton, Centre and Clearfield counties to destroy the healthy competi- tion that exists between these two rival railroad lines. I went into this railroad enterprise for the purpose not only of benefiting myself but for the purpose of opening up a new avenue for the bitu- minous coal to ready market. Clearfield county with all her mineral wealth had but one railroad, and her traffic was in the absolute control of one corporation which did not fail to use the power it possessed. By the construction of the Beech Creek road the coal business has been generally stimulated as has business generally throughout the section reached by it. Large investments have been made upon the faith in this line being a competing line with the Pennsylvania railroad lines, and a large business has been thrown upon the road. I am in- formed that agents are now going about among the shippers on the Beech Creek road asking shippers to contract their traffic to the Pennsylvania railroad as the Beech Creek road was sure to fall in to their hands, It strikes me as rather peculiar that these contracts should be sought for if they were sure of the Dee h Creek road. So all alongthe line between here and the eastern markets the agents of competing coal companies have been visiting customers of the several coal companies that ship by the Beech Creek line and these agents have been endeav- oring to take away the customers so ship- ping by the Beech Creek line on the ar- gument that the Beech Creek railroad was about to fall into the hands of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and that thereafter the companies of whom they had been purchasing coal Ww ould not be able to fill their orders. Here we have the thought that the Beech Creek road is to be used not for the purpose of affording equal facilities to all shippers, but, on the contrary, to a favored few. It cannot be that the people wiil submit to the crushing control and mastery of any one transportation company by whatev- er name it may be called, and I cannot, with self-respect, abandon the interests of the people to whom we have madeour pledges and whe have invested their money relying on our good faith. rt — —— NEW WAY OF SELECTING JURIES, The following act was approved by the Governor on June 26th, in reference to the selection of jurors for the trial of causes When any case shall be ready for trial some disinterested persons shall, by di- rection of the court, in open court, draw from the jury box after having well mixed the papers deposited therein as aforesaid, twenty of said papers, one after another, and it any of the jurors whose names shall be challen and set aside for cause, such person shall proceed to draw as aforesaid a further numbet of the said Payer uhtil {wenty jurors shall be writien in a panel by the prothonotary or clerk, from which the plaintiff shall strike one name and the defendant one. and so on alternately until each party shall have exercised the four peremptory challenges allowed by law, and the remaining twelve jurors, having Den NO iy to try moh w di o jury suc shail egloct a Sih > rty n or n Keriking the jury ut aforesaid, the pro- Shonothry or clerk shall strike the seme on f of such party : And provided further, That whenever the first twelve jurors appearing in answer to call of thelr names aa aforesaid tg factory : of further fe rai heal A New, Fieger Crass Bixosn Sswina Micmse, of any No, ean be had by avy subscriber to the ftero low price of $20, including the ReronrEn one year, Along with it ars all ‘th wosl attachments, We d to o ovr sabmeribem ao th for their pt trapage, nod, new, WEDNESDAY, AUG. | ( 885 9, 1885, THE BATTLE OF LEWISB1 ro jon that the mistakes have not been ten- - ” : [fold greater, It is indeed unfortunate, Renewal of the Harrison-Orwig Contest a8 the President gaye, that party treason Over a Boundary Wall, land perfidy in the matter of appoints Lewisburg, Pa.
