Judge Slmonton. in the Dauphin count v court, has rendered a decision touching the long and short haul clause of the constitution or Pennsylvania, in which he holds that the cluuse Is self- enforclnc. and therefore does not re quire an act of the assembly to carry it out. The action which brought forth this decision was a suit In equity nrougnt uy romng-miii coninunies ui Harrisburg against the Pennsylvania Ttailroad company. In which the de- femlant filed a demurrer on the ground already stated. An nppcul will liroba bly be taken, as the decision Is regarded as having important bearing on similar questions, such as discrimination In freight rates and shipping facilities. ami consolidation of parallel or competing lines. Should the supreme court bus tain the decision further efforts for leg. Islatton to carry out these constitution' al provisions will no longer be neces ary. A syndicate composed of New York, Chicago and Boston capitalists has been formed to open up the western part of Mexico by constructing a rail road. A committee Is now in Mexico negotiating with the government, and an soon as the men return a regular or ganization will be made. The Alexiran government nas already made some valuable concessions. The company will be capitalized with $8,000,000 or 110,000,000, the Mexican government guaranteeing the former amount. The road will be known as the Mexican and Southern Pacific Hallway company. It will be 350 miles long of which 35 miles have already been constructed. The Pacific side nf Mexico Is practically wunout railway facilities, it Is a ter rltory rich In mahogany, coffee and otner valuable articles of commerce. Mr. Robert P. Porter of Boston, will be president of the new company. The big Brodway offices of the lead ing railroads unite In saying that hoi I day travel has not been so light in many years. On the other hand, regu lar traffic Is fair, but still It is not up u we uurniui volume. PRICEBURQi Margaret, wife of Thompson Hall, sr., died Wednesday at 1 o'clock of pneu monia.
