STOCKHOLDERS MEET,
The South Penn Sale Discussed, and a
Proposition Declined

The South Penn Sale Discussed, and q
Proposition Declined,
PHILADELPHIA, July PA meeting Of
stockholders of the Beech Creek Railroad
Company took place yesterday afternoon at
the office of Thomas Hart, Jr. There were
present from outside the city, ex Senator
William A. Wallace, President of the
Beech Creek Company; ex-senator Peale,
J. a. Boyd and also nearly every stockhold-
er of the road in the city, including Presi-
dent Keim, Solicitor Ksercher and Secre-
tsry Foster and Director l. V. Williamson,
of the Reading Railroad Company; ]. NJ
Gazzsm, Z. G. knight, ]. n. Hutchinson
and others.
The gentlemen present represented over
81 ,000, 900 of the capital stock of the Beech
Creek Company, and the proceedings were
b.rmonious throughout Many Of the men,
bers present had given but little attention
10 the matter of the sale Of their road to
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. and
he whole gubjecf was brought up for their
benefit and thoroughly discussed in all its
details.
|. Senators Wallace and Pearle were par
ticulsrly strong in their opposition to the
measure. The scheme was denounced as
breach of good faith on the part Of Van
derbilt The proposition of the Pennsyl-
vsnia Railroad Company, as stated in Gen
ersl Msgees circular, heretofore published
was presented to the meeting for consider
alton, and it was unanimously voted not to
accept il in is present shape.
A committee consisting Of Messrs. Peale,
Gazzam and Boyd, was appointed to look
after the interest of the stockholders opposed
to the transfer. These gentlemen will pro-
ceed to gather sll possible information On
the subject and report at an early day to the
stockholders such steps as they think neces,
sary to be taken for the proper protection OF
their rights. There is q feeling of conf.
dence among those who attended the meet.
ing, which would indicate that they are in
possession of information not yet made
public. No claims are made, however. ex.
cept that the matter Of transfer is still an
open question, aud that the large minority
