RAILROAD NOTES.

The following statement regarding the
Central Transportation Pullman judg-
ment was issued from the Pullman office
yesterday: THE decision referred to
is not at all a final one. as the case vii!
be appealed to higher court. When q
former suit was carried to the tniled
States supreme court 1t was decided that
the Central TRANSPORTATION company
had no power whatever to make such a
lease. and that 1t was invalid. 1t is not
at all likely that the higher court will
sustain the present decree of the cir
cult court. The Pullman company is
the largest individual stockhOlder In the
Central Transportation company.
-:-.-
Judge Myers. In the district court at
Leavenworth, Kan, has decided that
land abandoned by a railroad reverts
to the former owner. Fifteen years ago
when the Leavenworth, Topeka and
Southwestern was constructed, ten
acres of land running through large
farm was taken by condemnation pro-
ceedings. In 1894 the road. which had
been operated under lease was aban
doned. The owner of the adjacent land
rebuilt his fences. including the railway
line in them. When. recently. opera
tfOns were resumed on the line. his
fences were torn down and he brought
suit. The case will be taken TO higher
court.

The annual report OF the trackage
of the Pennsylvania Railroad company
has been completed. 1t shows the miles
of tracks between Jersey City and Pitts
burg and Erie to he S,073. OF this mile
age. 4.0S4 Is of the first track. LII of sec
ond, $40 of third, 234 of fourth track and
2.233 of company's sidings. During last
year there were five miles of additional
first track laid, % miles of second third
and fourth. and "a miles of company
sidings. making total new trackage
of Ga miles. The mileage given above
does not include any of the lines west of
Pittsburg which are controlled by the
Pennsylvania company. Last year con-
siderable new track was laid on the
lines west. but the tables have not been
prepared. Most of the new work in the
East was done on the Philadelphia and
Pittsburg divisions, although all sec
tions Of the system were gone over.

OF Settle, Republican, fer Congress. Is
