English capitalists, who have now f.
nanced the ntarprise, became alarmed.
owing to the Encouraging business
outlook, which developed into the de

in a recnt period that they were dis
posed to take up the matter again. and
the money required to complete the
road, about $2,100,000, is NOW available.
About seven miles Of track has beeu
completed, and is In operation between
Adamstown and MOhnsville The route
