SOUTH PENN AGAINTALKED or
Rumors that il may he Built by
Andrew Carnegie Within the
next Three Years.

OF the rumors of new railroads
projected to tap different parts
of Western Pennsylvania that
have gained newspaper circula-
ton recently, one of the most
plausible, says the Connellsville
Courier, is the extension of the
Carnegie ore road, otherwise
known as the Pittsburg, Besse.
mer & Lake Erie.
The Carnegie road will not stop
in the coke region, it is said. 1t
will be remembered that Andrew
Carnegie was one of the promo.
ters and leaders in the South
Penn railroad, the projection and
smothering of which has oc.
cupied so much space in railroad
history during the last 10 years.
On q recent visit to Pittsburg he
said that the South Penn road
was sold out by the Vanderbilts
through the pressure made on
them by the Pennsylvania people
as a matter of self preservation,
but that the South Penn scheme
was so good a one that it would
still be carried out some day.
Well, there is no constitutional
barrier TO the Carnegie road be-
ing extended from Connellsville
region TO the seaboard, tapping
the rich territory through which
the South Penn was surveyed, g.,
paralleling it whore it cannot use
the original survey. IT is said
that it is a nice question of law as
to whether or not the charter of
the South Penn, which is con-
trolled by the Pennsylvania and
the Vanderbilts, viii control the
question Of the right of eminent
domain for another road which
wants the right Of way for actual
rather lhau obstructive utility.
Ltis not anon the improbable
tiles, therefore, ynaG the Carneg-
ie road will be extended to the
seaboard, with a terminus either
at navigable point for deep sea
vessels on the Potomac or on the
shores of Chesapeake bay, within
the next three years.
