Wapsy Coal Field Line
Altoonn, Aug. 12.—At the instance
of bondholders and certain creditors,
Attorney, W. Frank Vaughn of this
city and J. B. Denny, of Johnstown,
have been appointed receivers for the
Altooita and Northern Railroad com
pany and the Blair-Cambria Coal
Company, by Judge Orr of the Fed
eral Court of Pittsburgh. They have
already taken charge of the affairs
of both concerns.
The coal company was virtually the
owner of the railroad, better known
as the Wopsy road, a short line run
ning from Juniata to the coal field
at Dougherty, on the Cambria side
of the mountain.
The affairs of the two companies
are so interwoven and the only way
to get the coal to market is over the
railroad, so that the court, when the
application for receiver was present
ed, appointed Messrs. Vaughn and
Denny to the joint receivership.
Tlie object of the receivership is to
put the coal mining on a paying basis
by increasing the tonnage, provided
funds can be raised for financing the
work.
