From Harrisburg to Warren on a stormy legislative note
In Harrisburg debates over railroad power and public spending dominate the scene. Gov Hartranft amends a Pennsylvania Railroad stock bill to double stock limits while denying unlimited issuance and the Senate us votes. Petitions for Centennial funds flood in as Somerset fire aid is approved. Snow and sleighing extend the winter and political squabbles over salaries versus fees continue.
