In Reading there may be l50 maa suspendsd in

keep up business relations with its employees 40

desrous OF decreaAng its expenses % or any other
specified per cent, but the fact is, they have not
got the work tN employ the same numbeg Of hands
that were I, qulred four months ago. It is an un-
precedented TACT that the roadway department Of
the Reading Railroad vas never reported to be in
| a better condition.
President GOWen returned home from Europe
last week, and after spending several days in New
York, returned to Phfladelphia. The.runors that
Mr.. Tom Scott, Of the PennsylVania Railroad, had
succeeded in 90 manipulating aHairs a. to gain
control OF the Reading Railr0ad, are strenuousIy
denied by those in high authority. The Psnnsyi.

Yesterday the case of the proposed Fair

OF Mr.. SharsW00d so far IS certainly remarka-
bic. The following little scene occurred
MT. Burton. snow, as to Councils not Civ :
ing the contract 30 the lowest bidder %
ShArswoOd, j. really do not want to hear
anything about this, ] have no right to in
Qulre into the discretion Of Councils. But il
had, after what have heard from Mr.. Smed-
Icy, the Chief Engineer, they were right in
doing what they did, in giVlag the contrac to
Mr.. Wiley. But have nothing to do with
this question OF the exercise of their discretion
In the matter.
What Judge Shasswo0d could have heard
that would justify the giving OF the contract
to bidder requiring S200, 900 more pay, than
one VINO offered the same security, Is mystic
rY that needs explanation. The public Is not
30 quick Of comprehension and there will have
to BE- very Welghty reasons 20 reconcile them
to what ct present appears to be an outrage ON
common sense.
We have high opinion of Mt Smedley s
judgement. aud will walt patiently for the rea
sons that convinced Judge ShaTsWoOd. Blu
$500 600 Is nice little sum, and the public havl
laudIble curiosity to know why they should
DO 50 much out OF pocket without any appar
