MORE ACTIVITY IN
TROLLEY CIRCLES
Three Roads of Maryland to Merge
New comptny to Have si,5oo,ooo
Capital.
From The World Of Monday:

From The World of Monday:
Following the reported activities in
trolley circles told of in The Evening
World Saturday there is further sig
nificance in the reports that in the
plan for the merging of the Washing
ton. FIR derrick and Gettysburg Rail-
way Company with the Frederick and
MiddIetown Railway Company, the alb
sorption of the Jefferson and Brad
dock Heights Railway Company is con
templated, has been disclosed by the
sending of notices to the stockholders
OF the last named company that a
meeting will be held Tuesday, Decen-
Der to consider the plan of consoli-
dation. Meetings Of the stockholders
OF all three companies will be held
on that date to vote on the propose
ton to consolidate. The adoption OF
the proposition is assured.
The company which viii be formed
by the merging of the three compa-
MES will probably be called the Fred
erick Railway Company. The Fred.
erick and Middletown Railway Com
panys line from Frederick to Middle
town and its leased extensions-the
Jefferson and Braddock Heights Rail
way Company's line from Braddock
Heights to Jefferson, and the Myers
vile and Catoctin Railway Com
pany's line from Middletown to
Myersville-are now operated und er
the name of the Frederick Interur-
ban Railway, but no company of that
name has ever been incorporated and
the corporate title of the parent com.
pany, the Frederick and Middletown
has never been changed.
The controlling interest III the
Myersville and Catoctin Railway Com
pany is held by Hagerstown parties
but its line is operated by the Fred
erick and Middletown Company under
lease which has still four or five
years to run, and no change in this
respect VIII be made by the consolida
ton.
Many of the details of the plan oil
consolidation are yet to be threshed
out, but the new company will prob
ably have a capitalization of $500,
900 of which $1,250,000 will be CON
mon stock and $250,000 preferred
stock. The bonds of all three CT the
companies which are to be combined
will be retired, and new bonds will
be issued covering the entire prop
erty.
That the consolidation of the Fred
erick county lines will be but stel
toward the consolidation of the lines
in Frederick and Washington coun
ties and the southern part of Penn
sylvania and probably others, form
ing big trolley system operated by
one corporation, is the opini1n of per
sons who have watched the develop
ment OF the trolley business in this
part of the country.

BUYS w. VA. COAL
Pittshurg-5uffalo Company Buys Inn
mense Tract OF Coal In Fairmont
District--Gets Lower Freights.

One OF the most important trans
actions in West Virginia coal prop
erty consummated this year has been
closed by the entrance of the Pitts
burg-Buffaio Company into the Brack-
enville section of the Fairmont dis
trict. The move places the corpora
ton in position TO compete With West
Virginia coal operators and meet
them on Their ground in the kong
fought battle Tor control OF the trade
in the Northwest.
The property in question consists
of 2.440 acres OF excellent coal, for
which the Pittsburg- Buffalo Company
paid $500 an acre, or total of $780,
$40 The land is advantageously To-
Gated in relation 10 transportation,
and 1t is the purpose OF the corpora
ton to open ii without delay, The
mines will be opened and operated
with a view to the highest efficiency
and safety, and nothing viii be left
undone TO protect the property and
lives OF the employees.
II was stated that the purchase had
been mad 10 meet the ruinous com
petition which West Virginia coal has
created in the markets Of the North
west, not to speak o. markets nearer
home. The Pittsburg- Buffalo Company
will operate the proposed mines with
a view TO securing its share of the
Northwestern trade. This will be
made possible by the freight differ
entail and the reduced cost Of labor
in the mines OF West Virginia.
An important development brought
out by the sale of the property shows
the rapid rise in the price Of large
bodies Of coal Ia that section, this
Brackenville tract having been offer
ed last year at $115 an acre.
