Work all along the line of the Penn

forward with the idea of finishing the
same before cold weather sets in next
Winter, II possible. Atsome points gangs
are working day aud night, and big show

Joseph Doan, of Yardley, was con-
victed at Court on Tuesday, of furnishing
two Indian boys with beer and whlskey
on last New Years eve, and was sentenced

Large day and night gangs are work.
ing. vigorously in the great railroad cut at
the Hanging Rocks, on the Northeast Ex-
tensions and when this is completed the
roadbed from Hartsville STATEN to Rush
Valley will be ready for the ties and rails.
Large quantities Of sand and stones are al
ready collected for the bridge over the
Neshaminy, and foundations for several
Of the piers arc dug. The bridge win be
long one, resting upon nine piers and
two abutments.
The new railroad for which surveys
have been made between New Hope,
Bucks county, and Easton, was chartered
yesterday at Harrisburg as the Easton and
Philadelphia Railroad, with ex-Council-
man Carroll r. Williams, of Philadelphia,
as President, and these Directors: John
II. Dingee, e. ID. Cook, G. d. Metzler
aud Thomas Ii. Stout, of Philadelphia /;
Wilson Paxson, of Lumberville, aud Thos.
Briggs, of Newtown, Bucks county. The
capital stock is 81, 900, 900, and helength
Of the road thirty-two miles.
President Williams said last evening
that the new road would be independent.
1t will connect at New Hope with the
Northeast Pennsylvania branch OF the
Reading, and at Easton or Phillipsburl
with the Delaware, Lackawanna ant
Western, and other roads IL the connec
ton can be made. Twenty miles Of thu
road had already been located, he said
and 1t was expected to begin work upoi
1t In the Fall. The road, he thought
would be profitable, as there are large
stone quarries and several iron furnacel
along the line, and number OF villages
including Lumberville, Centre Bridge
Riegelsville, Upper and Lower Black
Eddy and Point Pleasant. The road will
give an entrance for the Reading Railroad
into Easton. Bonds to the amount Of
81, 900, 900 will be issued. -Psi,alelphio
Record Of Thursday.
The many new railroads which are
being built or surveyed through Bucks
county and the eastern portion Of Mont
gomery, county furnish an increasing
source OF conjecture and speculation
among the residents OF that stretch Of
country, many of whom arc looking fol
big booms for their respective localities II
they can only induce railroad to come
their way. The FINAL location of the LIE
high Valley Railroads. extension to Phil
adelphia, for which dozens of different
surveys have been made, has been par.
ticularly fruitful of all sorts Of guesses.
The latest story Is that the surveyors Of
the company have been marking out Q
line parallel to the Northeast branch Of
the Reading, and that the Lehigh Valley
people would like to buy that branch line
from the Reading. The extension OF tho
Northeast branch to New Hope is beinl
pushed vigorously, and is to be finished
in September. Gangs are working on II
night and day, and the road-bed is nearly
ready for the ties and rails from Harris
Vile Station to Rush Valley. Why tn,
Lehigh Valley should desire to purchas'
this little branch line it Is hard TO imagine
and there is no reason to suppose that !
has any such desire.
| The surveys that have been made alonl
the west side of the Delaware river from
New Hope TO Easton, presumably in th
interest of the Reading Railroad, are SAT-
to be really for the Delaware, Lackawan
ma and Western, which has branch run
ming to PhillIpsburg, and which is report
ed to be anxious to get line TO Philadel
phia.
The Reading and the Lackawanna ar
on very good terms, and the Reading
Northeast branch would give the pthe
road an entrance in Philadelphia. Thi
new line, for which much Of the righ
Of way has already been secured, will
compelled to hug the foot Of the hill
along the river very closely most Of tn
way, and at little place called Narrows
vile II will be necessary to remove all lh
six houses that comprise the village in OF
der to get room for the railroad belwee
the river and rocky, almost perpendlcu
lar, hillside.
The fact that the Reading Railroad
spending $4oO, 900 to 100000 to bull
the fifteen miles OF new road from Harts
| vile to New Hope, lends probability I
the story that II expects to secure som
important connection. It would not pa
to extend q railroad that has always bee
! operated At loss unless some more In
