Railroad Litigation

PHILA DELPHIA, Oct. lO.-RumorS have
prevailed both here and in New York Tor
some time past indicating that the stock
holders OF the united companies OF New JsT-
Sey were about TO take such legal me aSure-
as were neces ary 10 confess the lease of those
lines To the Pennsylvania CO mpany, and the
idea gained ground that the officers of the
latter corporation were engaged in this pros
pect i've ticn. A letter TO this effect was
received yesterday by Col. Thos. a. Scott
from the president of the uuited companies
of New jersey which had a depressing inf l.
ence on the stock, but a reply was imne-
diately sent stating that no steps looking TO
the amendment of the provisions OF the lease
were contemplated by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. On the contrary, the
counsel OF the company have been directed
TO contest such movement. II is not known
here who instituted the report OF legal pro-
ceediDgs tending 10 affect the lease, but all
rumors are disposed OF by the fact that the
rental for the quarter ending September Both
is being paid as usual AT the Office of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company this morn

The Speakership contest assumes no new
shape today. The combination printed i'm
yesterdays STAR mad been effected despite
denials, except that Cox when the confer
ence closed had not named an umpire, but
preferred to wait until he consulted his
friends. IL may after all iSll through. for
two reasons: L rSt. the inability o. the can
didates Ia il 10 deliver the goods; and, second, A.,
because every candidate opposed 10 Randall
imaglnes himself 70 be his strongest autago-
Dlst, and rs not iDclined TO yield the field. Il
is not believed, for instance, that If Cox
should enter the combination, that he could
haLd over the votes OF the nard money men
OF New York To a soft money candidate: any
more tnan Sayler, q soft money candidate,
could do rtce CerSd. The desire is 10 beat
Randall, and there are votes enough perhaps
to beat him, but how TO concentrate them is
what is now puzzllng the anti Randall men.
Coy. IhTockmOTton, of Texas, said last
night that Notwithstanding he was claimed
in The Randall calculations ne had positively
made no pledge TO any candidate. Black
burn, OF Kentucky, is one of the most active
IN the effort to defeat Randall.

been as numerous as was expected, there not

concede the choice Of Bishop for governor
over their candidate by at least 10000

which insures the election OF q demo.

the result to the Indifference Of the repub-
