The Pittsourg, Brownsville and state
Line road has been recently organized
as a continuation of the Pittsourg, Viz
ginia and Charleston, which is now
built TO West Brownsville, Pa. That
line is operated by the Pennsylvania

county has been long projected. Ihat
company had authority to build from
Brownsville TO the State line, but TO
avoid litigation on the ground Of alleged
abandonment OF that portion OF the
road, it was decided to secure ne"
charter to cover the uncompleted part
of tho road. The line has been located
and route adopted from West Browns
Vile to the State line along the LETT or
west bank Of the Monongahela river as
far as New Geneva, Pa. This work was

postpone all the work for another year

after Q O'Clock when they got things In
