Railroad Matters--The New Jersey
Consolidation.
The lease Of the united railroads in
New Jersey to the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, which has for months
been the object uppermost in the minds
of railroad men, capitalists and politi-
clans Of New Jersey, was submitted to
the united Board of Directors in Tren-
ton yesterday. The committee, to
whom the matter has been confded,
had meeting last Saturday in Phila-
delphia in conjunction with similar
committee from the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, and after eleven hours
debate all the provisions Of the lease
were finally agreed on. Their work
was approved by the Directors of the
New Jersey companies yesterday, only
few verbal alterations being made, and
the meeting adjourned to give the Com
mission time to make the re-
auired alterations. The Directors
will then have another meeting, after
which the lease will be submitted d.
rectly to the stockholders. Before the
meeting adjourned yesterday an offer
was received from another powerful
company, which it is not necessary to
name, submitting proposals equally fa-
vorable to those made by the Pennsyl-
vania, and offering in addition bonus
OF nearly one million dollars This
offer will of course affect materially the
negotiations now going on, but although
the security offered is ofa first class de-
scription, the matter will not rest with
the stockholders If the lease to the
Pennsylvania Company is rejected bv
them, the second offer may receive con-
sideration, since the amount Of property
to be transferred is to the value Of
forty million dollars, embracing rail-
roads and canals that cover seventeen
out of the twenty-one counties Of the
State. No event will be watched with
greater interest to New Jersey and New
York.
