Second Tho Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, in pun-nance of the doelur
ed tiollcv of tho Coniinonweallh, as ex-
' i . . i. . t
tiressed in numerous acts ot too ucitiB-
Isture, has acquired by the purchase
of stock and bonds and hy lenses and
other contracts, an interest in or con
nection with various other railroads.
Such interest, however (except ill the
ease of leased lines), is simply that ot
a slock or bondholder, which does not
give to said company control of tho
trucks, rolling stock, motive power, or
business of said corporations ; nor has
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
such control. Each ol the other com
nunicB maintains a separalo mvaniza-
tion, is jioverned by its own officers,
ands control its own motive power,
tracks, rolliti"; stock, und business, und
is subject to its. own general regula
tions. Tho Pennvlvuina liuilroad
Company, by its nmitt lines and the
connections referred to, reaches muny,
but not ull. of the principal points of
I rune, mtiimtucltire, antl minerul novel
opnient throughout ihe Stulo, at most
ol w hich it encounters active and con
stunt competition' for bunnies hy oilier
mi I rim (I companies (over which it bus
in coiiirol). chattered lV tins aim
other Si ales.
Third Of tho ruilrtiatls mentioned
in Ihe third iiaiiiL't'iiph of the plum
lid's bill, the Pennsylvania Railroad
connects with the Allegheny Yulby
Ruilroud. uti'l llif defendant owns a
i orlrollini; intcrc-l in I he sun k of the
Inner conipiioy. The Pbihuh Ipbitt ami
Erin Riiilrinnl is iiporutcd bv tl.e tie
feti.liint under a lease, and ihe mud ol
the ibfrndtilil I cnniiecleil with the
birmer, ituliretilf, by means of inlcr

I bird pui aurnpli iiumid I lie ileleiiouiil s
road also connects with by means of
mlcrvciiiiiu roads, bul ibu deli ndunl
owns no inleresl in and bus no control
over them or any ol them.
Eon nh The main line ot the I'enn
svlvama Railroad and cimnei tintf rail
roads resell into lb counties limned
in Ihe fourth paistfmph of the hi'l
The Pennsylvania "uili'is'l and its con.
neclinu: lima reach thu seaboard at
Philadelphiu, Now Yolk and Baltimore.
while there are many markets of lb"
United Suites thai they do not reach
The cars required for tho larriiiL'c nt
crude oil are of peculiar construction
and very expensive, hnth to liuilil antl
to keep in repair. Whilotho Pennsyl
vania llatlniad Compuny is not hound
to lurtiiph cars at any point other than
ilium the line of its own road, it has
sent to other roads in the oil region a
number of such . cars. 'Ibese cars
would be more than sufficient to carry
all the oil which could bo secured for
Iranninrtalion over tlao Pennsylvania
Railroad, or its leased or controlled
lints; if it was shipied in regular
(inutilities during the year, hut llie on
business ia so fluctuating that while
there are at timua cara nrnro than sill
ticient for all such transportation
there art) other times when the de
mand cannot be supplied.
Except the extont that it own cars
fit lor tho ii rpi wo, Iho I'ennsylvann
Railroad Company has never engaged
nor undertaken to engage, in the trans.
porlation of oil from points on the lines
of other railroads in the cotinlioa men-
tinned In the fourth paragraph of the
hill.
Kiflb Subject to the explanation
beretnlH'iora given as to the rennsyi
vania Railroad Company's ownership
and control of tho railroads referred
to, the defendant admits that there are
pipes nt iron laid for tha purpose ol
transporting crude M)lmlenin lo the
said radrnaila. aa avered in the first
nart til tbafilth paragraph of Ihe plain.
Ufl 'a bill. As in the truth of tha aver.
mints contained in the temuniilig part
of lha fltlh narauranh, except aa to the
existence ol company known aa the
United Pip. Lines, this defendant ia
ignorant, bul, it' material, it is reft to
be provwd by the oomplainaat.
Sixth The defendant dsnies tbat
of producing, buywir,iselling, trans
pot;tin!, and storingsof crude petrolo
urn' in the counties named in para
graph five ol tho bill, Qr elsewhere, or
that It has or bnsiad any connection,
directly or indirectly, wuh tho manu
facture and sale of refined oil ; or thai
il has or has had any connection with
said oil business other than in the-ow-riago
of oil to the extent hereinbefore
stated.
Eighth Neither, In order to attain
thu object and purposes in the seventh
paragraph of the bill charged, nor lor
any other purpose connected there
with, has tho Pennsylvania Ruilroud
Company been guilty of any unlawful
or oppressive act, nor has it disregurd
cd, or abused, or violated its chartered
privileges or duties ; nor has it inflict
ed irreparable or other injury upon tlm
Comnionweulth or its citizens, or upon
any person or persona cngttged in law
ful commerce. The Pennsylvania Rail
mud Company has no control of mo
tive power except on its own line of
ruilroud or lines leaped ny u, ami it lias
never refused to furnish either curs or
motive power to merchants and maun
lucliirers demanding them, on its own
or lis leased lines. In the extent of it m
ability, under such reasonable rules
and regulations as it bus a right to
make and enforce. Whilst it lias fur
nished, its cara on other lines of ruil
rnud where it was not bound to send
them, it has not even there refused to
furnish cars lo merchants und nuiitu
luelurers to I lie extent ol Us ability up
uliircsuiil, and it has never relueed In
ullow men-hunts and manufacturers to
furnish their own cara. The deleii'latil
has never proti-ssed and does not now
profess to be a com moii currier for the
public ol crude petroleum beyond its
own line or its leased lines of ruilroud,
nor a currier ut nil of crude petroleum
to uuy other or greuter extent tbnn as
explained in Ibu fourth piiragraph ot
this answer. Il denies that it lias made
tmlu wlul iliscrimiiiulion between per
sons equally entitled lo its service, in
thu rute charged lor transportation in
10 tho city ol New York, when he hud
011 ready to liwl. On nmo iK-casion
when bis consignee. Henry C. Olilen,
of mo city ol New York, hud alreadj
received his ullolliient of curs, under
tlio company's reasonable rogululions
made lor tiie hem lit of all its ship
pure of petroleum, cars could not be
furnished Mel'arland until Iho relurn
nl those then in tho service of the Bttiil
Olilen
'The defendant denies that tho Em
leiiton und Clarion Railroad Company,
on or about September 5ih, 1878. or at
any other time, made tiy tlomund up
on the defendant for-motivo power und
facilities, or that tho defendant refused
llipBpunie.
The defendant denied Hint at any
time between Juno 27th und Septemb
er Uth. l78..or at an other lime
w ben it bod ears lor llie purpose, It r.-fus
d to William I. Pmvit f cxburg.C'lar-,

all times William L. Fox and his con
signees have hinl their full proportion-
ate share ol all the curs lliul llie tiu
lentlunt bud to furbish, ullhough, as
before staled, it was not bound lo turn
isb curs at the points ut which they
demanded.
And the defendant denies tlio truth
of lhaluvoruiont uf llie iiinlb paragi ugh
of Ihe bill, which relulus lo coiiimuni
.nil. ins alleged to have been made
hy its olliccrs to J isiuh Lombard, .Ir
ani! Henry C. Olilen, ol tho city ol
Now York.
Tenth That defendant 'Iocs mil de
ny tbat tho business of producing, man
ulacluring and shipping petroleum is
tlio chief industry in lliu counties in
tho bill mentioned1, or I hut it uliords
lliu meuns of livelihood to many pur
eons engaged therein ; but tbul bupi
ness constitiitus but a part of tho tolul
eoniinuice of the Hutu, and is not ol
siillieient iiiiiioi'tanco to require the
liilei venlion of the Cotiitiioiiweullb tor
its special protection. The deluiiduiil
is advised and belit ves that tho name
