SANDERS IS
OUT OF IT.
Changes Made in the Lakeside Rail-
way Company.
NEW BLOOD IS INFUSED.
Hon. D. D. Phillips Becomes the Active
Manager Of the ROad-LakeSide EX-
tension VIII Commence at Once.

The management of the Lakeside Rail
way Company has experienced a number
of radical changes during the past few
days and it is expected that the operation
of the road will reflect considerable re.
newed life in consequence of the changes.
New blood has been infused at the head
of the corporation, which is now in the
hands of two very wealthy and enterpris-
ing Philadelphlans, named Andrews and
Halfman.
The two gentlemen have purchased the
interest in the road held by Dallas Sand
ers and Mr.. Johann. Mr. Andrews sue
ceeds Mr.. Sanders as president and Mr.
Halfman takes Mr. Johann's place as
secretary OF the line. All changes in con
sequence OF the deal took place to-day
Hon. D. d. Phillips, who has been sec
retary and treasurer of the road, becomes
treasurer and manager, He assumed the
management this morning and was in
town to-day making arrangements for
changes and improvements in the con-
struction of the line.
Mr.. Belts, who has been superintendent
of the road, has been assigned to a super
visorship at the power house in Mahanoy
City, the office he held having been abol-
ished.
Messrs Anderson and Halfman spent
two or three days of last week inspecting
the present line and the line comtem-
plated to run between Mahanoy City and
Lakeside. As a result, active work
will be renewed on both branches. The
Lakeside line will be constructed this
winter This having been decided upon the
Lakeside Land and Improvement Com
pany should bestir itself and prepare to
increase the attractivehess of thissummer
resort. The construction of the Lakeside
line will be directly to the interest of the
Land and Improvement Company and
ultimately lead to line to connect Lake
side with the Tamaqua Lansford electric
railway. If the owners of the summer
resort show the same spirit that the Lake
side Railway people now manifest Lake
side will certainly attain next summer
the reputation which it can gain the
Glen Onoko of the region.
Mr.. p. j. Ferguson is heavily inter-
ested in both the Land and Improvement
Company and the Tamaqu
electric railway, and as he is not near
sighted it is more than likely that ne will
take steps to bestir his corporations in the
direction the new Philadelphia syndicate
has taken.
A gang of navvies under D. H Llewellyn
to-day commenced making improvements
on the Lakeside Electric Railway in town.
They spent to-day raising the curve at
the corner of Centre and White streets,
which was originally placed so low that
during rainy weather the rails were
covered by water.
The rails on Centre street are to be ex-
tended so that the cars will run close to
the crossing at Main street and it is eX-
pected that within few days the line will
be extended out West Centre street.
| The advancement of Hon. d. d. Phillips
to the active management of the Lake
side Electric Railway is an evidence of the
excellent qualifications of that gentleman
and many changes of mutual benefit to
the road and its patrons may be looked
for in the near future
