From 40 PhIladelnhia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
The purchase Of that portion Of the South
Penn Railroad in Fulton county by George
T. Bser. one of the managers of the Reading
Railroad, presumably in the interest of that
company, and the expectation of some move
soon in the Courts by the anti-Corbin ele-
ment among the stockholders caused good
deal Of talk yesterday about the alf1irs Of
Reading on the street. At the office of the
company it was auJhoriIatiTeIy stated by q
prominent official that the Reading was in
no way interested in Mr.. Baer's purchase.
and the transaction remained invested with
great deal of mystery
PESNsy's MAILED HAND
When the Pennsylvania Riilroaa made its
famous agreement with the Eanderbilts, by
which il secured possession of the SJuth
Penn after long litigation. it IS generally
supposed that a majority Of the stock and
bonds were tGsned over 70 il and are now
locked up in its strong boxes Having this
control of the road the Pennsylvania re-
fused to sell the piers of the South Penn
bridge at Harrisburg to the Reading, though
the latter offered very handsome price for
them. and II has sought in other ways to
prevent its rival from getting beyond Har-
risburg lift has been outwitted now. aud
the Reading or one Of It's connections has
secured the right of way Of the unfinished
road through FELTON, county for $500. it is
.ta s.Ffl 10. ~. -,
present management of tue Reading Is able
10 grasp an opportunity when il offers itself
The Directors of the Pennsylvania have not
yet got over their chagria at the way in
which they were euchred by the Reading in
the purchase Of the Pennsylvania Ware
housing and Safe Deposit Con1panys wharf
properties on the Delaware river.
coRBISs sUsTENs Foley.
Recent moves on the part of Reading shows
that President Corbin has decided to build
up the rosds general merchandise and pas
senger traffic. Two mild winters, which
have brought the road to the verge Of bank
ruptcy,. have convinced President Cosbin
that the coal business is very poor sort OF
reliance, and be is now bending his energies
70 increasing the freight and passenger traffic,
which is at present greater than it ever was.
1t was for this purpose that the wharves on
the Delaware were purchased, and the ex-
tension beyond Harrisburg and the proposed
line from Williamsport to Elmira, n. y,
have the same end in view.
The present management realizes that il
the Reading is to be permanently prosperous
II must become trunk line and compete
for business on eqnal terms with its rivals.
This it cannot do at present, but the compile
ton OF the extensions projected viii put it
in position where it will not only be able
to increase its coal trade very greatly. but
also to secure large amount Of general
freight that now goes to the Pennsylvania,
the Lehigh Valley and the Baltimore and
Ohio Roads.

To the Philadelphia Le,iger correspondent.
who called on him, George r Baer. who
purchased the South Penn railroad last Sat-
urday, said that his professional connection
With the purchase prevented him from say
ing who is the real purchaser. This. how
ever, will be developed within the next thir-
ty days within which time the South Penn
viii! be organized. On the one hand il is
contended that the purchase gives the Read
ing road absolute title to the franchise Of the
South Penn, and that it will now be bnilt
under the auspices Of the Reading. while on
the other hand il is claimed that the sheriff
Of Fulton county could only sell the South
Pean's personal property in that county, and
that he could not sell the charter, which
slone gives the right to construct the road
and the ownership OF this IS in litigation.
At the sale Mr. Baer, as attorney for the
bondholders, gave notice that the road is

The statement by Mr. BaeF. that the South

was taken as meaning that there is some i'm

the Reading is interested in the matter,

ive-year limit is nearly up.
The Reading Railroad Company isextend-
ing its system from Harrisburg up the Cum
berland Valley by constructing road known
as the Harrisburg Terminal. One Of the
most important and costly pieces of work
done by the south Pennsylvania Company
was the building of the a massive cut stone
piers in the Sasqnehsnna river At Harris
burg. which were to carry the SJ0o,0oo rail
road bridge across that stream. The pos
session Of these piers was something the
Reading Company had in view in the build
ing of the Harrisburg Terminal, not only on
account of the time they would save in
throwing bridge over the susquehanna.
but because Of the greater saving in money
which would be insured.
SOMETHING Oh 4 SURPRISE
The supposed owners of the piers were, Of
course, opposed to the Pennsylvania Rail-
roads interests. and the Reading naturally
expected TO have no trouble in getting this
important line OF masonry. When President
Corbin went to Harrisburg for that purpose
he was much surprised TO learn, therefore,
that the ownership of the piers bad been
transferred to the Pennsylvania Railroad.
No one seemed able TO give any information
as to how the astounding change in title had
been made, but that it had been made there
was no doubt.
So the Reading had to contract for the
building Of an entirely new set OF piers and
Of course, the Sheriff sale in Faiton coun-
ty cannot cover the old South Pennsylvania
piers The sale, therefore, IS puzzle to
both sheriff and purchaser of the property
vaguely sold as @The South Pennsylvania
Railroad and another complication is
added to the numberiess complications that
already envelop and confound the affairs Of
that luckless project.
