despondent victims OF the disease often
fancy themselves the prey, i'll turn, of
every known malady. This is due, in
part, to the close sympathy which exists
between the stomach and the brain, and In
part also to the fact that any disturbance of

CONSOLIDATION WITH THE BALTIMORE,

ROAD.
President Frazer, of the Wilmington
81 Reading Railroad. has issued tho fol-
lowing notice to the stockholders:
Notice is hereby given that The e.
rectOrs of the above named company
and the directors of the Baltimore,
Philadelphia & New York Railroad
Company, by joint agreement, under
tue corporate seal OF each of said
companies, have agreed to consolidate
the said companies, and in said agree
ment have prescribed the terms and
condition of such consolidation, with
such other matters as are required by
the acts of assembly in such cases
made and provided. Notice is further
given that said agreement will be sub
mitted to the stockholders of the Will
mington s. Reading Railroad Company
on Monday, the31st day of May, A. D.,
1875, at 10 o'clock, M, at the office of
the company, at Coatesville, Chester
county, Pa, for the purpose of taking

WHAT THE B., p. q N. Y. RAILROAD
co. Is.
Considerable inquiry being excited
as to what was the Baltimore, Phila-
delphia & New York Railroad Com
pany, GAZETTE reporter instituted
inquiries in regard to the matter and
ascertained the following facts:
Some years ago the Legislature of
Pennsylvania granted charter to the
Juniata il State Line Railroad, which
was to construct road running north
and south, near Bedford, Pa. Under
the charter the company possessed
valuable franchises, which included
the right to extend their road eastward
to Philadelphia and north towards
New York. They had, in fact, a "rov-
ing charter" not unlike that granted
to the Milford and Bay Shore Railroad
by the Delaware Legislature, only
more "roving" in its provisions. Some
time after the above road, with all its
| valuable franchises was consolidated
with the Maryland and Pennsylvania
r. r., it partially graded n route from
Baltimore, Via Bel Air, Md, and Ok
ford, Pa, to Philadelphia. After the
consolidation the company was called
tho Baltimore. Philadelphia s. New
York Railroad Company. They re-
tanned the franchises secured under
the charter of the first road which were
confirmed by recent decision of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
The Company, at present, operates
very little road, and is now endeavor.
ing to secure the construction of a
through line between Baltimore aud
New York. The Wilmington & Read
ting will not materially assist in secur-
ing this end, but it will prove n valua-
BILE feeder to the new road when it il
constructed.
A number of Philadelphia capitalists
are connected with the B p. Il N y.
corporation.
