Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News.")
TRENTON, Aug. 80, 19O0.-The same
syndicate of local capitalists vino, headed
by Wilbur F. Sadler, Jr., recently under
took an enterprise looking TO the connec-
tion Of Harrisburg with New York City,
has Just completed most important deal
in this direction.
Yesterday this syndicate, together with
several Philadelphia bankers and brokers',
took up the controlling stock in the
Doylestown, Newtown and Bristol Trolley
Company, and viii hereafter run electric
cars between this city and Willow Grove,
and in addition, viii operate a direct sys-
tenn between Morrisville and the Quaker
City.
1t was for the purpose of bringing Tren-i
ton into immediate communication with
Newtown that the Sadler people recently.
began to build the line from Morrisville
to Yardley, and with the completion of
this branch of the enterprise, the syndi-
cate will have Joined all of the larger
| towns of Bucks county with this city and
will have in its undisputed control cir
cult of eight big towns and numerous
thrifty Pennsylvania townships And all
of these according to the present plan.
will be connected as well with Philadel-
phia as this city.
Besides running this line around by way
of Yardley, and thence through Doyles-
town and Willow Grove. Mr.. Sadler says
he will at once commence the construction
of track over the Bristol and MorrisviHe
turnpike. which his syndicate owns abso-
lutely, and thence to the Quaker town by
way of Torresdale. In a straight line be-
tween Morrisville and Torresdale, the
| trolley will go through Tullytown, and in
going around by Yardley the loop will
pass through Newtown. and thence by
way of Langhorne to Bristol, but in
reaching Willow Grove a branch will go
| on to Doylestown.
Thus the Sadler syndicate claims to
| hold in it's solitary possession the only
| two possible reads to Philadelphia, and
| can run either direct or in a circuit,
| making the same Philadelphia terminus,
and at the same time bringing all of the
| Bucks county settlements into closer
communication than has yet ben con-
! sidered.
Trentonians may in few weeks, it is
| claimed, ride to Willow Grove on the
| trolley, just as is done from Philadel-
|
| to be given an opening into this city
Yardley, Newtown, Doylestown, Lang
horne, Bristol, Tullytown and Torres
/ dale.
The plan is to run the Bristol and
| Torresdale road. the Bristol and Lang
horne road Langhorne and Newtown.
| Newton and Doylestown, from one
immense power house, located at New
town. The fourteen miles Of track be-
| tween Newtown and Doylestown is laid
on private right-of-way, which pre-
vents fast time being made and it is
| understood that frequent and easy con-
nections win be made with the Doyles-
/ town and Willow Grove road.
| Mr.. Sadler was seen at the Trenton
House last evening but he still refused to
| say very much concerning his latest un-
| dertakings. He did acknowledge, however.
/ that he and his associates had completed
the long pending deal, whereby the Bris-
| tol, Langhorne, Newtown and Doylestown
| road will pass into the hands of the syn
| dicate AS previously announced in these
columns the syndicate is composed of
Owen Moon. Jr., A. C. Reeves and Ridge
way Fell, of this city, and two or three
| Philadelphia bankers and brokers.
| Mr.. Sadler also admitted that the Bris-
! tol and Torresdale road and the road
| which is to be built along the Bristol pike
now owned by the above syndicate, and
| the Yardley and Morrisville line would all
be operated from the power plant at New
/ town.
l The Sadler-Moon syndicate has of late
spent several hundred thousand dollars in
| the accuisition of right of way between
this city and Philadelphia, and now those
| interested are perfectly satisfied as to
their ability to control the future trolley
business of this particular quarter of the
| country.
