THE OLDEST RAILROAD.



The traveller who leaves Plym-
outh for London By The Great
Western railway viii notice when
be has proceeded tso and three.
quarters miles and is passing The
244th mile post from psddington
that the Train crosses a single
line Of railroad almost at q right
angle on the level. To it immedi-
ately succeeds an oyerbridge, and
then, on the left hand or ~ofFn side
may be seen the single line in eues-
tion, laid upon rough stone blocks,
but presenting a decidedly out-of-
date appearance. Perchance a train
Of four or FIVE little trucks loaded
with square humps Of china clay
and drawn BY . couple Of horses,
may be seen, bat in half a mile the
old line trends away nOrthEard and
is lost sight Of. Ii belongs, says the
Railroad Gazette, to the oldest raa-
road company in the world.
The Plymouth and Dartmouth
railway was incorporated on July
20, 1919, for making and maintain
ing a tramroad or iron railway for
the passage Of wagons and other
carriages" from Crabtree TO near
tho prisons Of war on Dartmoor
These prisons had been erected
about ten years before, ON the lone
lest and widest tract Of land that
could be found, to accommodate the
French prisoners of war who incon-
venienily crowded Plymouth sound
in hulks The protector Of the line.
however, Sir Thomas Tyruhitt, had
a great idea that Darsmoor vas ca
pable Of cultivation.
The Plymouth and Dartmoor
Railway company was dissolved,
and reincorporated BY an act Of
1865, for the purpose Of bringing it
under the provisions Of modern acts
as to using steam power. etc. The
old rates were revised and power
taken TO carry passengers. 1t then
owed f75.OO0 70 the mortgages
Messrs. johnson, who released il on
being paid 10 shares. The company
has since constructed some local
lines near Plymouth, which are
worked BY tbe Great Western and
the London and Southwestern; in
fact, it IS virtually a joint line now.
Still, though it owns no rolling
stock, it has nominally an inde-
pendent existence, receives its
rents, maintains 3 London Office
aud may undoubtedly be considered
the Oldest railway company in the
world.

NEW SWlNDLE BEING WORKED.
UnsuspecIing Farmers are Made The Victims
Of the Successful Game.

A story of a slick pair OF swlndlers,
who work as clever a scheme as the
envelope game in the side show or
the time worn lightning rod act, and
who trimmed farmer out of fifty
dollars, has just come to light. 1t is
a new game and the unsuspecting far
mer plays the victim. These sharpers
are expected to remain in this section
as long as they prosper through this
new game.
William Rushmore, a farmer who
resides near Herrick Centre, in Luz
erne county, was the victim. He was
busily engaged in fixing his fence
along the public road Wednerday af.

walked by with his eyes glued on the

Gigantic land frauds on the Pacific
Coast have been under secret investi-
cation by the Interior Department
for some time. Such startling runners
nave escaped that Secretary Hitch
cock has promised to make a com
prehenslve statement in the course of
the next few days The first public
development was the suspension
from Office of Asa B. Thomson, re-
ceiver Of the United States Land
Office at La Grand, Oregon. Thom-
son has been Indicated for receiving
brbes. 1t is said that the Depart
ments investigation will involve
United States Senator Mitchell and
Representative Williamson, both re-
publicans from Oregon, who recon-
mended Thomson's appointment. 1t
is known that Secretary Hnchcock's
feelings toward these men has been
very bitter since the investigation
started. Many government officials
and members OF the Congress are
believed to be implicated IN these
land frauds and startling revelations
are daily expected.
