ONE PROMISING OIL FIELD.
A Famous Suit Against the Pennsylvania
Road to be Tried This Week.

A Famous Suit Against the Pennsylvania
Road to be Tried This Week.
Mr.. A. H. Logan, the oil man, has just
returned from a five weeks visit to the West
Virginia fields. He is much impressed with
the territory, and thinks it is one of the
most promising regions. The wells are not
large, but he says they are stayers, and some
of them brought in four years ago are still
flowing a little. The biggest we'll yet
struck produced 720 barrels per day.
Mr.. Logan is one of the firm of Logan,
Emory & Weaver, who have pending suit
against the Pennsylvania Railroad to re-
cover 1921, 900 for discriminating against
them in the matter of freight rates. They
are depending on the act of 1886, which
allows triple damages if such charges can be
proved. Their real bill is, therefore, for
Sl07, 900. The suit will be tried this week
at Smethport, and Mr.. Logan will leave foi
that place to-day. He said last night that
he had been member of the firm for eight
years and they never made anything. All
the profits on the business went to the rail-
roads. The firm is represented by Messrs.
Sherman, Lee and Elliott.

BUILDING THE NEW BRIDGE.
Progress of Work on the Pleasant Valley
Fine Structure.

Progress of Work on the Pleasant Valleys
Fine Structure.
A report that the contract for the Ninth
street bridge work had been abandoned on
account of the recent destructive flooding of
the pin-holes, is incorrect. The foreman of
the laborers at work on the bridge was
seen yesterday, and he declared that his men
were under orders to work right along.
This gang, consisting of Italians for the
most part, has been employed at the bridge
since the beginning of the work.
1t has been found necessary to construct
an elevated boardwalk over the arches of
one section of the bridge. As the laborers
progress in their work they extend this walk.
1t is a somwehat inconvenient footway,
owing to the fact that there is sharp rise
over every arch, and constant climbing
and descending of steps is necessary.

The Castle Shannon Railroad TO Greatly
Better Its Facilities.
The Castle Shannon Railroad Company
contemplates making number of improve
ments this spring which will place the road
on better footing than ever before, and
will give its patrons better accommodations.
The passenger car equipment of the road
will be entirely replaced with new ones
having double seats on both sides and fitted
up in good style. They have already been
ordered.
When the cable road from the incline is
completed, it will do away with the horse
shoe curve and give direct connection with
the incline. The work on the latter is being
pushed as rapidly as possible.
The road has several new locomotives and
intend adding to the whole rolling stock of
the road as fast as traffic requires it.
