DETROIT TERMINAL
ISP. R1 CERTAINTY
Officials Now in Western City; to
Use Pere Marquette
Tracks
Sfecial te The Telegraph
Detroit, Mich., Aug. 28.—With the
arrival here yesterday of Vice-Presi
dent W. W. Atterbury, of the Pennsyl
vania lines. In company with H. T.
; Hatch, chief engineer of the Vandalla
system, Detroit manufacturers and oth
er heavy originators of tonnage found
! thrir dreams of years on the point of
j realization—a Pennsylvania terminal
In this city, and that at an early date.
| Vice-President Atterbury confirmed
I this almost at once and assured the
; public that further statement would
! be made 'within the next five days"
1 and was congratulated by prominent 1
.members of the Chamber of Commerce i
I at his hotel.
It Is the purpose of the Pennsylvania
;to utilize the tracks of the Pere Mar-i
I quette road, now in the hands of re
ceivers, for the connecting link with
Toledo between Toledo, Detroit and the
| East. Receiver Waters, of the Pere
Marquette, was quoted in a telegram
from Petroskey to-night as confirming
this.
The chief problem now confronting!
I the Pennsylvania is that of terminals.
These will cost, Including approaching
trackage and other facilities, in the
neighborhood of $20,000,000, according
to Mr. Atterbury.
Surveyors at Work
on Western Maryland
Special to The Telegraph
Johnstown, Pa., Aug. 28.—Engineers
who are believed to be a part of the
force that has been running lines for
a railroad down the BenscreeH Valley
are working in the Hogback tunnel lo- I
callty. They began a survey along
the hillside from a point opposite
Island Park toward the terminus of tne
Johnstown & Stonycreek railroad at
the operations of the Valley Smokeless
Coal Company.
This Is taken to mean that the route
of the contemplated railroad, frequent
ly mentioned, will be along the Hog
back hill, the aim being a junction
with the .T. & S. system to the Valley
mines, thus affording connection with
the Pennsylvania railroad In central 1
Johnstown.
It is also evident that the B. & O. is !
not doing the work, for if this were j
the case tho company could make a
tunnel or nearby.
The Western Maryland and the
Pennsylvania railroads have been
closely allied for years and have nu
merous traffic arrangements. In Cum
berland, for Instance, the two railroads
use the same depot, the Western Mary
land trains running east to Baltimore
and the Pennsylvania trains running
connection with Its own system at the
northwest to Bedford and Altoona.

"Buffoonery" Teddy's
Rejoinder to Garrison
Special to The Telegraph
New York. Aug. 28. Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt directly attacked the
administration last night in a state
ment in reply to Secretary of War Gar
rison's comment on the Colonel's Platts
burg speech. Colonel Roosevelt inti
mated that Mr. Garrison was clouding
the issue by "buffoonery." He again
defended Major-General Leonard Wood
and characterized as an imputation on
its own conduct the administration's
rebuke of General Wood through Mr,
Garrison.
The Colonel reiterated in' his state
ment that he had not mentioned the
President in his Piattshurg speech and
did not speak of the administration. His
speech ,he said, was a plea for prepared
ness and against divided alleelance to
the flag. The administration s rebuke
of General Wood, the Colonel thinks,
was inexcusable. It constituted, the
Colonel says, "an unconscious commen
tary by the administration on its own
attitude."

PENBBOOK PAVING TO
BE HUSHED THROUGH
Will Complete Work Before Win
ter ; Council io Hold Special
Meeting
Every effort is being made by the
borough council of Penbrook, backed
by a majority of the residents of the
village to rush the paving of Main
street from end to end through be
fore the snow flies.
Council at a recent session passed
the ordinance on first reading and is
now planning to hold a special meet
ing to pass it on second reading so
that final action can be taken at the
next regular session.
A delegation of prominent Penbrook
men recently called on the Sftte High
way department and procured its
consent to pave with asphalt. The
Harrisburg Traction Company will
pave a big portion of the thorough
fare and the State will take care of
another big section so that the cost
will not fall so heavily on the
borough.
When this big stretch of roadway
is completed, there will be a continu
ous boulevard of more than five miles
running east from the State Capital.
The road is one much used now by
autoists and its popularity is bound
to take a big jump at the conclusion
of the work.
