Pennsylvania Railroad May Purchase
Norfolk & We4ern.

There is a belief in banking and
railroad circles that the purchase of
the Norfolk & Western Railway by the
great Pennsylvania system will soon
become a reality Some weeks ago
the Pennsylvania bought from English
holders many mi lions Of dollars worth
of stock in the Norfolk & Western, and
persons who are in a position to know
what is going on say tha' the trans
fer of the N. & w. % the PennSy will
be accomplished in the near future.
though it will take some time to com
plete the details. The policy of the
Pennsylvania, which has in reality
dominated the N. & w. for some years
past, is to bring all the properties
which it controls into one great svs-
TEN. thus insuring harmonious man
agement and greater efficiency in oper.
alton.
If this deal is consummated it would
mean, in all probability, great expan-
sion Of railroad business in this sec
tion. The Pennsy would use the
Shenandoah division of he N. & W.
as its main lire to the South, at least
for freight. Great terminal facilities
and extensive shops would be provided
at Hagerstown. Possibly the Cumber-
land Valley division would be made
tour-track line, AM the Shenandoah
Valley division would ultimately be
double-tracked. The proposition is
full OF interesting possibilities to this
section.

Gov. Cornwen Appoints Board.

Governor John J. Cornwell has Just
named the committee OF five from the
House and Senate, three Of whom are
Republicans, and two are Democrats.
10 draft legislation providing for the is
suance OF not to exceed $4,000 900 in
bonds for good roads, as provided by
the legislative amendment, which was
carried by an overwhelming vote in
November.
E. b. Stewart (Rep.), of Morgan
town, is member OF the committee,
together with r. M. Saunders (Rep.D
OF Huntington; George w. McClintiS
(Rep.), OF Charleston; J. S. Zimmer-
man lDem.) }, of Romney; E. H. Nor
ton (Dem.), OF Webster Springs.
Great interest has been manifested
throughout the State as to the person,
mel Of this commission. and from the
fact that the men selected represent
both parties and all sections of ths
State, it is taken 10 mean that no effort
Will be made TO make the matter a par
tlsan measure but one aimed FOR the
best interests of the State.

Midnight Scare at Winchester.

Hundreds OF Winchester residents
were awakened last Sunday night and
greatly alarmed by an explosion of un-
known origin which, acting much lika
an earthquake, shook buildings. ratified
windows and caused chinaware to rock
on. the shelves. Investigation has
iaiied 10 disclose the source of tho
oiast, and II has been put down as one
OF those mysterious night noises which
occur in communities from time to
time but whose source is never dis
covered. Ii is generally believed the
disturbance was due to the bursting OF
a meteor, for the reason that the expIo~
sion seem to be high in the air and did
not proceed from the ground.

Henry Ford Makes Big Change.

Henry Ford, the famous automobile
man, in letter to dealers the first of
the week, made a startling change in
the methods of selling Ford cars,
trucks and tractors. All territorial
lines have been dispensed with, and
hereafter Ford agents can sell cars
anywhere in the United States, regard
less of the territory of any other deal
er. Heretofore the lines have been
most strictly observed, and it has been
crime for one dealer to sell a car
in the territory of another. So strict
were the regulations that dealers were
required to furnish records Of all cars
sold, wi h their serial numbers and the
name and place of residence of the
purchaser, and the rights of the agentI
were most carefully protected. These
rules have now all been abrogated, an1
authorized dealers are allowed to sci
anywhere. This does not mean. how
ever, that the Ford company will sell
ndiScrlminate!y-it will furnish cars
only to its authorized agens.
There IS great deal of diSsatisfac-
ton with the new order on TIL part
of agents who have had large, fat sec
tionS as their exclusive territory, bu
those dealers who have a limited ter
ritory are not especially concerned, as
they figure hat they will have increased
sales. The National Highway Garage

change in prices, and there will prob
ably be none, as the Ford company
made a considerable cut few months
ago.

hartinsburg Has Dark Time.

Last Sunday afternoon a short cir
cult at the plant OF the Potomac Light
and Power Company in Martinsbure
caused a IRE that destroyed the biz
switchboard and damaged the gener-
ator and the building, causing a loss
OF $4,000. The loss is covered by in,
surance. Martinsburg was in com
plete darkness Sunday night, and a
Knowing resident of that city said that
II the lights had come on suddenly
during the night there would have been
scandals enough revealed to keen
tongues wasging for twenty years.

Property for Benefit of Poor
and Needy.

New York. Oct. Charitable be-
quests Of approximately 81 .35oO were
made BY Jacob H. Schiff, banker and
philanthropist, who died last week. His
will. filed Monday in surrogates court,
leaves the remained Of the estate TO be
shared equally BY his son and daughter.
Mortimer J.. Schiff Of Oyster Bay. and
Mrs. Erstea Warburg
The widow was amply provided for
outside the will and III a separate docu-
ment provision also was made for Mr.
Schiff's personal employees and the EN-
ployes Of Kuhn. Loeb & Company. the
bank firm Of which he was the senior
member. according to counsel for the
executors,
No appraisal Of the actual value of the
estate is possible at this time, it was sa1d
and probably would be determined only
when the state comptroller fixes the
transfer tax. In the petition filed with
t&a will only the legal requirement Of
more than $4,000 in real and personal
property was mentioned.
One Of the many charitable requests
was $4,000 to the Jewish Orphan asy-
lum of Frankfurt on-the Main Germany,
Mr. Schiff's birthplace. This sum is to
be added to fund he created many years
ago in memory of his parents.
