" cniuit answer your question as to
j when work will prolmbly be commenced on
j tlie line. There are, however, certain most
important legal limitations on this point
that it would be well for all parties to keep
in vkw. My RSJollcctkiU ! that tbe road,
j under the la , must be completed before Be-
ccmber, lJMi, or its charter is lust and cannot
be renewed, inasmuch as other charters have
already been taken out on many portions of
lis Due, which charters will become of rative
if the South Perm legal limit as tutime is ex
reeded. Even with the gKcalrst prompt r.e-s
on the rotumittee's part, liarely twenty
rtiotilhs are now left ill which to finish the
j line entire to save its tliarier right, and as
icf Engineer siiiuiik estimates that by the
gnat.st d: 11 iger.ee and by working tbe largest j
possible force of men cmtinuonsly J3
months will be consumed in sontpleting tlie
liue. it will l apparent to ail ctjnstirvaiivti
people that the two limits are already dan-p-rously
dose together. I cannot, of conrse,
ttll you anything regarding the rail contract.
I presume, Irowever, this will be in the hands
of the company, and, as three such promi
nent Pittsburghers are iu the company, it is
only ,lr to nip-oe that they will endeavor
to bring as much bosineas to their owu town
as possible."
The above story ! eonflrtnfsl by the fol
lowing telegram sent from Philadelphia on
thr same day : " The.S.joth Penn road is go
Ing to be built. Xone of the uftcials will
talk tfT publication. Particulars were ob
tained from one of the most prominent
numbers of the syndicate. He said tlmt
plans were now perfected by which sulficierit
nninev will l raise.! to complete the road.
This determination is tlie outgrowth of an
agreement just entered into with the Vander
brlts, of New York, fwha arwaubscribers to
sbiinorrasioned by the attempted transfer
of tbe Vanderbilt intertill tu (lie Pennsylva

For Advertisers to Remember.
One of the queer things in business is the
propensity of the people to seek irregular
meditims of aJverii.;ng. It is unaccounta
ble the prices Some men y for sticking
their advertisements in irregular places.
Especially is this so when compared with
their unwil'injrnesi to pay anything for ad-
j reniaing iu the regular channels. A Jver-
l first-clasa standing, carries tlie impri-nion
; thtt the advertiser has a standing in his own
. comniunity wIikH lie is Dot atraut to show
to his neighbors, and that lie does not siirisik
j from coinpetitiou with tlie best of ihcm. If
j any one is going to a place to buy, whether
j he be a trader or buying for bis own use and j
j has to seek dealers thruu-jb advert isements,
where will he look for tliem T To registers.
