as to Short Road

HARRISBURG, Pa, September 20

that the two-cent fare law passed by the
recent legislature is unconstitutional In its
application to the Susquehanna River and
Western railroad
This company operates a thirteen mile
branch Of the Pennsylvania railroad from
Duncannon to Bloomfield Junction
The court holds that there is nothing to
prevent the state from passing an act
regulating the rate to just and reasonable
charge" so far as this road is concerned.
but that 1.-The maximum rate of cents
per mile would be unjust and unreasonable
and will not fairly compensate the plaintiff
company under present existing conditions
of said roads traffic" and that, therefore,
SO far as this road Is concerned, the act of
1907 Is invalid. unconstitutional and void
being in derogation OF the fourteenth
amendment Of the Constitution of the
United States and sections o and 10 Of ar
ttcle OF the constitution OF the state of

KING CARLOS OF PORTUGAL.

A report some time ago that the King of
Portugal was in dire need Of money to pay
his debts is apparently verified from the
fact that he has sold his yacht, the Amelia,
to the royal navy. to be converted into a
cruiser. The fact that both the king and
queen are very fond Of the sea makes it
that much greater a sacrifice. 1t is said
that the king was obliged to effect a settle
ment Of advances of 1000, 900 francs ile-
gally made by the treasurer to the reign
ing house. These advances have been the
subject Of bitter recriminations against the
latter by all those opposed to the present
regime at Lisbon, and both the king and
the premier realize that it is a source of
weakness in their political program which
must be eliminated before the new cham
Der meets. Toward the liquidation of this

ALLEGE BANK IS SOLVENT.
Depositors Refuse Partial Payment Of
Institutions Liabilities.

PITTsBURG. September 2o.-Remarkable
allegations were made yesterday at joint
meeting of the stockholders, depositors and
creditors Of the Farmers and Drovers' Ma
tional Bank of Waynesburg, which failed
last December. The meeting was held In
the Monongahela House, and was attended
by 200 depositors and stockholders and by
the representatives of ninetyfve different
banks and trust companies located in Penn
sylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, New Jersey
and Illinois.
At the meeting. which at times became
almost riotous. the allegation was made
that, instead of the bank being insolvent, 1t
has at the present time $41 900 to its credit.
This allegation was made in report sub
mitted by the representatives of the diff
ferent banks.
The representatives were asked by the
board Of directors to accept 6 per cent of
the face value of $4,000 Of doubtful paper
outstanding. They declare that the bank

necessary to sell the whole of the crown

coming poor. but it is only fair to them
to say that 1t was from the revision of the
civil list and not from extravaganza that
they got in this rut.

FOOT CRUSHED OFF.
Mr.. ]. J. Flaherty, Of Hutton, rIet
With Unfortunate Accident.

Mr. John j. (Number) Flaherty, of
Hutton, freight conductor on the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, running be-
tween Cumberland and Grafton, met
with an unfortunate accident Monday
night at Hardman's, a small station a
few miles east of Grafton, whereby he
lost his right foot.
His train, which was westbound, had
orders to take the siding at Hardman's
to allow a passenger train to pass and
after seeing that the switches were
closed Mr.. Flaherty attempted to jump
on the caboose of his train, which was
still moving, but making miscalcula-
ton in the darkness, his foot went I'M
der the wheels of the car, injuring it
so badly that amputation was neces-
sary, the operation being performed in
the Grafton hospital the same night.
Reports state that he rallied from the
shock and is in no immediate danger.
Mr.. Flaherty was unmarried and
lived at Hutton with his mother, an
aged lady who is highly respected.

VIII Soon Be On Sale.

The incorporatOrs and directors of the
Youghiogheny Light and Power Com
pany met in Oakland on Sept. 26th, and
organized by electing Alfred G. Stur-
giss, president; Truman West, first vice
president; Peter A. Chisholm, second
vice president; James D. Hamil, treas
ur0r; Hiram P. Tasker, general mana
ger, and Bowie johnson, secretary.
Subscription books viii soon be opened
and 1000 shares of $40 each will be
offered to the public at par and the pro-
ceeds applied to making hydraulic sur
veys of the head in each of the three
falls and the average flow of water per
minute, securing land for plant and the
right of way to lay pipes from the plant
to "heads' of the Swallow Falls in the
Youghiogheny river, the Deep Greek
falls on the east, and Muddy Creek
falls on the west, and the purchase of
suitable pipes to carry the water direct
~ to the impulse wheels at the plant
without any expense for dams. The
capital stock will probably soon be in
creased to $40, 600, which, it is believed,
will cover the entire cost of erecting
the plant and equipping it with the
most modern machinery and starting
the impulse wheels, etc, into motion.
The average head will be over 200 feet
and the minimum horse power 5000 to
1 10000 according to location of plant.
If each horse power brings a rental
of $50 per year the income will be at
least 500, OO0 or enough to cover the
entire cost of the plant and equipment
each year.
| This is certainly the safest and most
profitable investment ever offered to
the public. The general manager has
already received scores of letters from
/ tinanciers in all sections of the country
asking will any of your stock be Of
fered to the public?" In reply | will
state that local investors will be given
the first chance to subscribe, and if the
$4,000 is not speedy taken the capital
stock viii be increased and both bonds
and stock placed in financial centres for
sale.
