Wapsy Coal Field Line

Altoona, Aug. 12.-At the instance
of bondholders and certain creditors,
Attorney, w. Frank Vaughn of this
city and j. B. Denny, of Johnstown,
have been appointed receivers for the
AltooIfa and Northern Railroad COM
pany and the Blair-Cambria Coal
Company, by Judge Orr of the Fed
eral Court of Pittsburgh. They have

owner of the railroad, better known
as the Wopsy road, a short line run
ming from Juniata to the coal field
at Dougherty, on the Cambria side
cf the mountain.
The affairs of the two companies
are SO interviewer and the only way
to get the coal to market is over the

ed, appointed Messrs. Vaughn and
Denny to the joint receivership.
The object of the receivership is to
put the coal mining on a paying basis
by increasing the tonnage, provided
funds can be raised for financing the
work.

Work Soon to Start on MaryS-

Children

Marysvillc, Pa, Aug. 12.-Plans
for the construction of playground
for borough children, a proposition
long before the Marysville Civic
Club, are taking definite shape.
A plot of ground has been Sc
cured. in Myrtle avenue from the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Early next
month work on the construction of
the ground will be started. 1t is
not probable the work will be ad-
vanced to completion, but it is eX-
pected to be put in such shape that
with a little work, it can be made
ready for use early next year. Do
nations of money are now being re-
ceived from borough citizens.
No definite decision has yet been
reached by the organization as to
what form the memorial to the men
and women of the borough who
served with the American forces
shall be. A large town clock and
bronze memorial tablet are both
being considered. 1t is likely the
selection will be made from these
two.
