Another Vtlcr fVosa JmOgm Axpww onhipmect of freight belonging to
theSoath Penij-Isni.
To the Editorof tlie Pre:
Sis: My firet article was nonn -

in motion public thought Newde -
veloninenta will iustify farther state-
ment
It is eaid that the South rennsyi-
tmIi is nr. finished "a few holes in
the ground." This is evasive and
unsound. It is no ground of escape
from the new Constitution, ine
South Pennsylvania is a fully form
ed corporation, competent to "con
solidate, lease or H" its "stock,
proerty and franchises.-" It has a
duly Kurveyed, located and purchas-
fxl "Imp" and "works." which, Al
though unfinished, it can lease
to another railway com pan
competent to take or purchase. It
may "consolidate" its "stock, prop
erty and franchises" with another
road competent to take, and may
transfer all these to such a company.
If, therefore, the Pennsylvania Rail
road ComnanT be not a competing,
parallel line, there is no want of
ability in the South Pennsylvania
Company to contract with the Penn
rylvania, and give it a perfect title
and "control ;" and the Pennsylva
nia may complete and operate it.
There is nothing in the way, how
ever, but jiaraJMism and comix-tit ion.
But this is the verv thing the Con
stitution forbade. The South Penn
sylvania has ftrrctid, hx-ated, jir
chased and joeed a line of rail
way, which it is in the act of finish
ing. It has the power and franchise
to do this, and the tower and fran
chise to operate this parallel line
when finished. Now, if the Penn
sylvania can purchase and control
these powers and fraT.chiws, either
to complete and operate, or to aban
don and destroy, it necessarily im
pugns the very purpose ol the Con
stitution by taking away the com
petition that fundamental law in
tended to preserve. The South Penn
sylvania has a vested interest and
pood title jn the "line" it has eurrey
, twitted and talen, which cannot
le invaded except by the State her
self, or nader her authority. This
is settled by disitn.
It is this line which the Pennsyl-
w- 1 S 1
vania itauroaa ijonipany cannot
"purchase or control," because it is
parallel and necessarily competing.
The fact that the road-bed is not
completed and rails laid does not
destroy this title of th South Penn
sylvania to its duly located line and
the property purchased or taken
over which the line is laid. The
fact that this line is unfinished does
uot destroy its right to sell or lease
it and its purchases and powers over
it to another competent to take it
Thus we have a fully fledged cor
poration, a located and purchased
"line," aod a power to lease or sell,
and this is all the Constitution de
mands in order to protect it for the
benefit of the people.
If the Pennsylvania purchase or
control it, it must be tor one of two
purposes to operate the line or to
destroy it. It must finish or aban
don it If it tiuish, then it will con
trol and operate a parallel and com
peting line. What is this but a
most unnatural interpretation of the
words parallel and competing line?
Abandonment reaches the same end.
But it ia said the Pennsylvania
has a right to build four tracks upon
its road, and it may therefore do
this on the surveyed location and
purchased line of the South Penn
sylvania. Are the people and the
Judges of Pennsylvania so thick
beaded as to be misled by this state
ment? Certainly the Pennsylyauia
may build four tracks, but it must
be its own tracks, on its own road,
under its own charter. II it build
on the line of the South Peunsylva
nia, how is it? It takes the loca
tion and lands and builds under the
charter of the South Pennsylvania,
and when built must operate under
the charter of the South Pennsylva
nia. This it does, in a distant part
of the State and outside of its own
termini. This is wholly vltra rire
and outside of its charter. It is the
parallel and competing line of
another company. Does it make
any difference who finishes it?
Clearly the benign intent of the Con
stitution cannot be defeated by any
such trick. If it can be, then this
im perial corporation can forever pre
vent a competing line by buying up
its stock and controlling it before it
is finished. It is the jyrwrr and
'franchise of the corporation it buys
and controls, not its mere road-bed.
If the purchase or control of the
South Pennsylvania is obtained
merely to abandon, the act is equal
ly vltra vires, and an invasion of the
Constitution quite as palpable. Its
charter power is to build its own
road between its own termini, not to
go abroad and buy or control the
'forks of another corporation under
a different charter. In doing this it
necessarily makes use of powers not
its owe, and this it cannot legally
do in this case.
Again, abandonment and dissolu
tion of tue South Pennsylvania Com
pany do not disable the State from
granting a m w charter, or a new
company from exercising the right
of eminent domain and taking the
unfinished work under the third sec
tion of the sixteenth article of the
Constitution. Yet this abandon
ment and dissolution are inexcus
able, as they "binder and delay"
the rights of the people, and this is
the very essence of fraud.
It is said the "purchase or con
trol" tday be by others. Clearly not,
unless for themselves. If payment
be made by the Pennsylvania Com
pany in cash, bonds, certificates,
stocks or otherwise, it is the act of
that company, and the fact may be
investigated and found, and the of
fending corporation prevented from
consummating its illegal purpose.
In finding this tact circumstances
are evidence. If a company of
bankers or brokers be found acting
the question will arise: Can they
take the immense capital necessary
to finish out of tlieir legitimate busi
ness? Would they be willing to
derange their business by venturing
into a field so large, untried and
alien?" tS'hat answer would they
make to a bill of discovery? This
would be a difficult and dangerous
position.
Perhaps, after all, this talk of pur
chase, etc., is only a feint to reach
another and lawful purpose without
alarming adverse interests. It would
be a legitimate means of reaching
the true interests of the New York
Central and Pennsylvania Railroad
Companies to divide the territory
from which business comes by a
contract agreement. . The Pennsyl
vania Company may retire from the
New England and New York fields
and that part of the West properly
within the sphere of the New York
Central and Lake Shore Roads, and
these roads may retire from Penn
sylvania and that part of the West

' Fighting a Sea KlepTiant.
I'd round Lehrinc's Straits the na
tives live mostly on whales' blubber.
Up there they hunt the walrus for
his ivory and oil, and also for his
hide, which they make into Coots.
I've seen sometimes as many as five
hundred on a cake of ice, all bellow
ing like thunder, so that you could
hear them for miles.
Then there's the sea elephant, and
tough fellows they are, too. It's ea
sy enough killing them, but when
they are dying they kick up a great
fuss. With tlieir little short teeth,
I've seen 'em bite off pieces of rock
as large as a spittoon and throw 'em
at a man with fearful force. I found
one oa a reef one day and as we
needed some more oil I ordered the
boat steerer to make way for the
gully in the rocks where he was.
We came right up to him, put an j
iron hook into him and hauled lam
after us out into the clear water.
Then I got into the bow, right un
der his nose, when he grabbed the
bow of the boat in his teeth and
tore away a 6treak fore and aft He
bit off the ends of three lances, and
another be snapped out of my hand
and tried to thiow it at us. Once
he made a snap at me with his
head, throwing me in the boat on
my back. I picked up a hatchet and
with my two bands buried it in his
I -i, T. 1 Ml 1
head up to tne nanaie. it aineu
him outright He was twenty-five
feet long and gave two dozen barrels
of oil. We made blanket sheet of
its blubber, cutting it -into pieces
three feet square. Then piercing a
hole through the center of each
block and running through a spun
rope we made a raft of them and
towed it to the shio. The usual
way to kill a 6ea elephant used to
be to run right up to him, hit him
under the jnw with an oar, which
would make him raise up his head,
when we would tire right up through
his mouth into his brain.

Gold In an OKI Mont..
Said an old timer: "I never eaw
a ghost, but I once made a pretty
good raise where I at first thought I
had found a dead man. I was pros
pecting down in Amdor county, Cal
ifornia. One day I went np the
creek about a mile, and seated my
self on a rock to rest Across the
stream, on the opposite bank, were
the remains of three or four cabins.
Some of these had almost tumbled
into the creek from the wearing away
of the ground on that side. I ob
served that part of the fireplace of a
near cabin had tumbled down the
bank toward the creek, and that the
foot of an old gum boot was sticking
out of the dirt It seemed to pro
ject from beneath the t tones forming
the hearth of tne old cnimnev. i
thought it was strange that any man
should have laid his hearth over an
old gum boot Then it occurred to
me that some man might have been
murdered and buried under the
hearth.
"Crossing the creek to the old
chimmen, 1 found that the foot of
the old boot projected from under a
large Hat stone that was still in
place. I lifted the stone, and found
that there was only one boot there,
and no sign of a human skeleton
nor bones of any kind. I kicked
the old boot down the bank, and
then took a pan of dirt and ashes
out of the old fireplace, as I had in
several instances made prettv lair
strikes in old hearths ; for it is well
known that the early miners were
often careless and lost a good deal
of fine gold in retorting it burning
out quicksilver it contained on
shovels. As I was passinz down
the bank I came to the old bootand
in passing gave it anotner kick,
sending it almost to the creek. It
landed leg down the hill and from
the end poured a golden shower of
nuggets and dust
"In a moment I threw the dirt
out of my pan and reversed the boot
over it, when out tumbled two large
buckskin bags filled with gold dust
So long had the treasure laid con
cealed under the hearth that the
strings with which the bags were
tied had rotted, and one gave away
under the kicks 1 had bestowed
upon the old boot. When all the
gold was gathered up I found that I
had nearly 52,000.
Greenbacks.
"Old Greenbacks" was the souo-
riquet given to Secretary Chase in the
army, the green ink with which the
backs of the L nited fctates paper
money was printed. 1 his .ink was
invented by Stacv J. Ldson, and
patented in 1S37, as antiphotograp
hie. It could not be photographed
on account of its color, and could
not l dislodged by alkalies by the
counterfeiters to get a complete fac
simile of the bills, and as it was a
secret known only by the American
Bank Note companv and the myen
tor, it was impossible to counterfeit
the green back money. It was used
by many banks before the war, but
never was a leading feature in the
bill ; but even if the composition of
the ink had been known, it would
have been of no use, as the work
could not be copied from the genu
i ine bills with any kind of ink. The
date of the patent could be seen on
all the bills, in small print. Old
General Spinner wanted to have
Congress enact a law making the
counterfeiting of national notes a
capital offense, as was once the case
in Great Britain, and to r ave them
bear the legend which had been on
bills then issued by the Bank of
England : "To Counterfeit is Death.

I have just received two car loads of the Self-oiling Steel-skein Scliuttler Warons, tlie
most complete Western Wagon in the market for Koad or Farm Purposes. On tlie latter
tbere is a Uear Brake, to be used when hauling hay or grain, a something that farmers
know the necessity of when hauling on hilly farms. Every part of the Wood-work of
wagon has laid in 8tock three years before being worked up. insuring the work to be
oughty seasoned before being ironed, lleing the patentees of the
DOUBLE COLLAR AND OIL CUPS.
It is the only Wagon made that has this improvement. It avoids the
necessity of taking off the

EVERY WAGON FULLY INSURED.
In olfering this make ol Wagon to the public, will say I used the same
make of Wagon for five years when freighting scrota the Rocky ilouu-
Jjtains, over roads that were
the test. I feel warranted in saying I believe them the Itest Wagon on
