Joseph P.

The committee, including representatives from about a half dozen other short lines of the United States, will discuss the divisions of freight rates between the short and trunk lines with representative of the latter and members of the Commission, preparatory to the rendering of the final decisions by the latter today as to rate questions now before it for settlement.
A major improvement to the Ligonier Valley line has just been completed in the form of a quarter mile of new track on the curve at Longbridge, new 105-pound rails of latest design having been laid to replace the old rails.
