A i the annual meeting of the Interstate Tele phone and Telegraph company in Philadelphia action was taken which will have quite an advan tageous effect on the telephone service and when consummated will result in a long distance line t'roin one end of the state to the other. It was decided at the' meeting to extend the lines of the Interstate company west to Pittsburg and points in Ohio and north to Binghamton, N. Y. The announced object is to reduce long distance rate? and to increase the number of persons reachable from each of a number of individual exchanges by several thousand. Several weeks ago there was chartered a new telephone company, called the Juniata and Susquehanna company, with the avowed purpose of operat iii lines in various counties in the central part of the state, among them being Snyder, Huntingdon, Mifflin, Jun- pany named above, and it will tonnect the lines it has secured with the lines of the Interstate com pan at the Susquehanua river, thus giving it a line ( 'ear from Philadelphia to Bellefotite. The Phrenix company, ofAltoona, already has a traf fic arrangement with the Interstate company from there to Johnstown and Pittsburg, in the western part of the st.ite, and also with the Central Com mercial company, of Bellefonte, and wherever the latter company publicly gives notice that it has been absorbed by the Susquehanna com pany, then the line of the Interstate compans will leach from Philadelphia clear to Allegheny county.

Mar shall, of Allegheny, which would Rive Marshall a majority of one vote. The anti-Quayites, however, declared these figures are misleading, and that the best Marshall can do is 97 votes. The significant event of the senate caucus was the action of Senator Wash burn, of Crawford county. Mr. Wash burn was elected as a Populist two years ago, and at the last session voted for .lenks for senator. Last nighi he attended the stalwart Republican caucus, having announced his inten tion to vote with that element.
