chiZfng Col. Scott.

PHILADELPHIA, March l2-The annual
meeting OF the stockholders of the Pennsyl-
Hanla railroad was held at 10. o'clock this
morning i'm Musical Fund hall, and as was ey.
pected was very largely attended, notwith-
standing bad weather. MANY prominent citi-
ZenS were present; the mayor of this city.
VIM. 5. StOkely, presided. There was consid.
cradle discussion at the beginning as TO
whether the report which had already been
published should be read, and it was decided
affirmatively. During the reading many Gues.
tons were asked in explanation of certain
matters, which were generally answered by
Col. Scott. He said his salary was $2IO0O q
year since the reduction; before that he got
S30Gu0. The vice president got $1,000 and
Sl2,oUp. The other officers OF the company
nave salaries from $1,000 to $1,000. and the
assistant president s., ,S1. When that part of
lne annual report was read concerning the
purchase OF the Empire transportation, quite
number OF questions were asked Col Scott
lie thought 1t was profitable investment and
ne was confident from the earnings of the
transportation company that the entire pur.
chase money could be paid off i'm four wears
whereas eight and ten years are allowed to do
SO. The old Empire company he said made
lots of money, and he believed the Pennsylya-
MA company would also make money out Of
IL. Several years ago the company could not
nave been purchased advantageOuSly but
last fall 1t had been done to great advantage
Mr. Potter, stOckhOlder, objected to the prO-
posed funding measure of the PENNSYLVANIA
