FEARS OF A CoMBINATIoN-JAY GOULD AND

Considerable interest has been aroused among the
public generally by the that have been in circu

lantic and Pacific Telegraph Companies The alleged
trigues Of Jay Gould get hold Of the Western Union
have caused some alarm in commercial circles, and
Notwithstanding Mr. 0rtons denial it Is generally be-
leved that 'where there is much smoke there must
be fire." Several commercial gentlemen, whose
business obliges them to the telegraph to large
extent, in conversation with HERALD reporter yeser
day expressed their that effort about be

be very inconvenient and very injurious many bust

characterized as vague and evasve Instead of meet
ing the issue squarely" said gentleman whose bust
with the West compels him TO the telegraph
largely, 'he simply processes ignorance as TO the
amount of Western Union stock held by Jay Gould.
don't believe the President OF the company could be
ignorant OF its interests be unable whether
he held 10 or oOo shares TINS noncommtta style OF
answering questions always shows there Is something in
the background which it is not deemed expedent TO
avow"
Such as q general thing was the tone OF nearly all
those spoken by the HERALD reporter yesterday and
it was perfectly plain that uneasy feeling pervaded
the commercial community in regard TO this subject
The consolidation of the two companies would be looked
upon unmitigated evil there would them TO all
nents and purposes be no competition worth speaking
Of and all the teegraphng in the country would pract
caly be In the hands of complete monopoly, which
would be in position charge whatever might
suit its convenience, and there would be redress
The admissions OF Mr. Orton that there has been some
talk among the shareholders Of the two companies
above mentioned on the subject of union of their In
teTests tend to confirm the opinion that
SOME CONVERSATION Is on FOOT
which will not be for the public benefit, and
they considered tantaInount to ad-

is looked simply special pleading say that one
company could do the whole business of the country
less cost than portion and therefore that monopoly
would be able to send messages at lower rates. The
ability to do is not doubted but there very stub
born doubts that any reduction would be made If
there was no increase. Hopes are entertained that

recently started in California may succeed the only
hope of cheap rates l. in competition Further devel-
opments awaited with Impotence, and 1t is be-

The w. a IL. IL. IL. CO.'S Claim.


NATURE OF THE CONTRACT BY WHICH IT DE-
MANDs 70 OPERATE THE READING LEHIGH
ROAD.
The general nature of the claim upon which
the Wilmington X Reading II. Il. Co. bases it's
right to operate the Reading & Lehigh II. r. was
stated in the notification served by the officers Of
the former company upon the latter, and printed
III these columns yesterday. little explana-
ton, however, will serve to make the matter
more clear and readily understood.
The Wilmington IL Reading II. r. Co.'s own
track ends about mile and half below Read
ing but i'll order to reach the depot and Penn
street it leased from the Reading & Lehigh Co.
Chen the Berks County, this much OF the
Reading 4 Lehigh's track, IN which lease it was
Reading Lehlgh Co. to pay the interest on its
Mortgage Bonds for the period OF sixty days af-
ter the said interest had become due, that Ii to
say, for sixty days after the first day of Novem-
ber. 1874, then it should be the privilege OF the
Wilmington Il Reading Co. to enter upon and
operate the Reading * Lehigh road. 1t was in
virtue of this stipulation in the lease that the
notification was served. The engine house from
which the W. x II. locomotives were excluded
used in common by the two roads, as was
also that portion OF the track OF the Reading *
Lehigh road through the city of Reading.
OF course the foreclosure OF the mortgage oil
the Reading d Lehigh Co. would vitiate the CON
tract, but there s no other consideration which
will. II the w. X r. Co. shall operate the Il. d
l.. road as permanent thing then it will become
liable for the interest in default.

FEELING OVER THE ELECTION OF THE oFF1cERs-
THE DIVORCE Observation-Disclosures ABOUT THE
UsURY LAW AND THE REPEAL OF THE TAX ON
BONDS AND MoBrdAdEs.
DOVER, Jan. 6.
The Legislature met promptly this morning at
iOA. NJ and organized by electing the officers
already reported. Tho combinations which
brought about the unexpected results in the
choice of officers have been freely discussed, and
this morning. each train going away from Do
yer conveyed crowds of disappointed ones dis
gusted with politics, and philosophizing upon
the fathlessness of politicians in general.
No business OF legislative Importance has yet
been introduced into either House, but the
olution of Senator Riddle in leaving the Divorce
Committee out OF the list Of standing committees
IL significant of the feeling of the members of
the Senate, at least, Oh the question of dvor-
ces. The action of the Senate in adopting the
resolution very plainly says that there will be
no use in bringing any divorce cases before the
present Legislature
The Commissioners having charge of the
building of the State Capital met here this
evening for the purpose of finishing up the re-
port, which will in all probability be presented
to the House tomorrow. 1t has been ascertain
ed that the disbursements have exceeded the
amount appropriated for that purpose by about
$4,000, for which an extra appropriation VIII be
asked. 1t is conceded that the remodelling of
the State House has been done in such man
ner that the committee will have no difficulty in
getting the amount asked for.
The standing committees of the House have
not yet been appointed, but in those OF the
Senate it will be noticed that the lone Republi-
can Senator from New Castle has been honored
with the chairmanshlp of the committee on Re-
yised Statutes one of the most important in the
Senate, while by parliamentary usages he is
chairman of two others.
The appointment of James ii. Ray as chairman
of the Finance Committee indicates a strong
effort for the modification OF the Treasury laws
and repeal of the tax ON bonds and mortgages.
1t lis expected that the Legislature will be in
session until noon ON Thursday when it will ad-
iOurn over until Monday, when the real active
work of the session will be commenced.

Death of william Shield rake.

HE FALLS UPON THE ICE IN PHILADELPHIA AND
RECEIVES FATAL INJURIES.
William Sheldrake, a prominent citizen of Kent
county, and residing near Pennington, went to
Philadelphia, last week, on business and while
walking along Chestnut street he slipped on the
ice and broke his leg. He was conveyed to the
Washington Hotel, where he was stopping, and
medical assistance summoned. The violent ma
ture Of the fracture however, brought on NOR
tliication which resulted fatally on Tuesday.
Mr. Sheldrake was largely engaged in the lum-
Der business, and was member of the Della
ware House Of Representatives from Kent coun-
ty in 1879.
