RAILROAD NEWS
FROM ALL POINTS
"A Philadelphia Syndicate Pays
Penalty Rather Than Take
Over Narrow Gauge.
souTHERu's TOURIST TRAIN
Virginia and Carolina Roads
Making Large Contracts for
Cars and Equipment.

The failure of the Philadelphia syn
uicate, headed by Mr. Morrell, of the
nrm of Drexell. Morgan & Co., to ac-
rept the option obtained on the Tide
water and Western Railway, better
known as the Farmville and Pow
hatan narrow gauge, and buy that
property for future development, is
source of regret to the people who
live along the line. They had hoped
that the railroad property would fall
into the hands of rich people, who
would develop it and make 1T line
worthy the name.
Mr. Morrell has never explained
why he allowed the option to lapse at
cost to him of something like $4,000,
but the superstition is that the strin-
Eency in the money market caused
him to abandon any and all ideas he
had of developing Virginia properties
II is also presumed that the antag
onisric attitude of Southern legisla-
lures and corporation commissions
made him think that 1T were better to
pay the penalty OF forfeited option
Than to go into speculative develop
ment scheme that was subject to the
whims of queer legislatures.
Be this as 1t may, the fact remains
THAT Mr. Morrell let the option lapse
And the holders of the securities of
the little bankrupt road received the
penalty. which is perhaps the only
dividend they have ever received on
their investment in the aforesaid Sc
rurities. It. would have been good
thing If 'tie raad itself could have
received this 5000 penalty. for it
NEEDS it. but ii went to the holders of
The bonds and other securities of the
road.
However, 1T is about as broad as it
is long. for the road is being oper-
Hted by the holders of the securities.
and they have to foot the bills in the

Harris admits his crime. He doesn't

no forgiveness for him In this world.
So he sits, quiet. waiting. watching

Harris was brought yesterday morn

he was captured early Thursday morn
