Scraps Of News.

Secretary William D. Seller, of the
State Agricultural society was in Phila-
deIphia last week attending a meeting
of the committee appointed to make ar
raugements for the Annual state Fair.
After carefully discussing the condition
of affairs the ecommittee came 70 the con-
clusion that it would not be advisable
to hold an exhibition this year as the
people Of Philadelphia have not taken
enough interest in the matter

PENNSY'S RIVAL.
THE BEECH CREEK AND THE WANDER
BILTs.

A dispatch from Bellefonte says. 1t
now seems that there is more In the
purchase of the Beech Creek Railroad
by the Vanderbilt family than was at
first apparent or is as yet generally
known. 1t is all very well to have the
enormous proceeds the road is now
earning, which no company car, more
for than the present owners. But the
real incentive to the purchase was the
elimination of a scheme hatched IN the
brain of William III. Vanderbilt four
or more years ago and only now being
practically executed by his descendants.
Here it is:
1t has always been known that the
one hobby of the senior Vanderbilt
was to have through line across the
State OF Pennsylvania ,and
IN COMPETITION To THE Pennsylvania.
When the South Penn was in pro-
cess of organization it was thought his
purpose would be effected, but as it
terminated mostly on paper the outlook
for competing line grew vague and
distant Now, however, with the Pine
Greek and other Vanderbilt lines in the
east, the 108 miles of the Beech Greek
in the central part of the State, there
remains an inconsiderable gap to COM
plete through line, and then taking
into consideration the work PARTLY
done on the South Penn, there is stock
enough subscribed to that apparently
insolvent institution to build the inter
vening space, eq uip it and open up a
competing liue in opposition to the
Pennsylvania.
THE ADVANTAGES.
Then note the advantages; The
route will be right through the great
coal and coke belt, take in most of the
iron manufacturing localities, aud
though the location and scenery will
not compare with those of the Penn
sylvania, that account, it will neverthe
less have the advantage of being many
miles shorter and run through the
region from which it can haul the bulk
of the coal and coke tiaffic, with 6
goodly share of the iron production.
Compare the resources Of the Beech
Creek at present with that ofany Other
road and they are far in advance
The entire stock is only S5,000,00O
preferred and common, and in 1887 the
gross earnings of the road were $7S6.
1928, Al, while the expenses all told
were but $413, 3,630,45, leaving the cleai
net profit of 1878, 1926, or an interest
of u per cent, on subscribed stock.
INCREASED EARNINGS
For 1883 the increase was TO almost
10 per cent, and it is now in fair way
to show a proportionate increase for
1850.

The Purchasing Agent of the Penn
sylv ania Railroad has awarded contracts
for the construction of freight cars to
eight firms, only one of which is located
west of Erie and Pittsburg. There
were great many bidders for the work,
aid it is well understood that the Penn
sylvania Railroad succeeded in getting
the work done on very favorable terms.
The fortunate contractors are the
Pennsylvania Car Company, Detroit,
Mich. the Murray, Dougle Company,
Milton; Erie Car Works, Erie; Pardee
Snyder 81 Co.. Washington; Harris
burg Car Manufacturing Company,
C'rlisle; M. Schall, York, and Schall q
Shoop, Dauphin. A portion Of the mes
cars will also be built at the company's
shoops at Altoona. An agent of the
railroad stated that as more cars were
needed on the Western lines than in
the East it is very probable that addi-
tional contracts will be placed among
Western Car builders.

Church Notes.

The Baptist congregation are making arrangements to have their church re- painted.
 During the heated term services at the NJ. E. church, south, will be held Sunday evenings at 6 o'clock sharp.
 At meeting of the session held last Monday afternoon, Rev. W. c. Wheat was elected pastor of the c. r. church for another term of ftwelve months.
 Next Sunday will be Children's Day at the c. r. church. An interesting programme has been arranged and win be rendered at the evening service.
 The Presbvterians, o. s. expect to begin work on their new church in a very short time. It will be located on the corner of River and David streets, east of the Baptist church. The church will be almost an exact counterpart of the Presbyterian church in Morrilton, admittedly one of the handsomest and most conveniently arranged churches in the state. In size it will be 42 \ 40, arched ceiling 24 feet. surmounted by a tower 65 feet in heighth from fouDda- ton, the whole to cost when completed nearly $2000. Itis expected that it will be ready for occupancy early in the coming fall. It will be known as the Washburn Memorial Church.
