I'm the Reading railroad contest the
Circuit Court o! the United States, Philadel-
phia, Monday, made decision the effect Of
which is TO suspend all matters in litigation,
and leave them in siatu quo until after the
stockholders meeting and election, on March
IA. The Court, in the first place, revokes
so much of its orler of November 18th as
authorizes the deferred bond scheme. In
the second place the Court continues the
further hearing of the case until March %,
aud orders that until the decision of the case
the Reading Railroad Receivers and Man
ayers are restained from doing anything
whereby the Reading Company may be
bound touching the deferred bond plan or
the proposed Sl5O,OO0 900 loan. AT the same
time no rights are to be forfeited, but all
matters concerning the deferred bonds are
to remain as they now are. 1t is evidently
the intention of CouEt to await the result Of
the Reading election, on March 18th, before
finally disposing of the questions as to the
legality of the deferred bonds and the $780,
600, 900 loan.

AT the municipal election in Philalel-
phia, Tuesday, the vote was the highest
ever cast at u purely local election in that
city, and, with the exception of the vote at
the Presidential election of 1880, it is the
highest ever cast on any occasion. The
total vote on Receiver of Taxes, according
to the returns received, was ISL ,454; on
Mayor, l50,SG5; on City Solicitor, l50, ,S37.
John Hunter, Independent Republican, en-
dorsed by Democrats, is elected Receiver of
Taxes by majority Of 26,ll6; Samuel g..
King, Independent Democrat, endorsed by
Independent Republicans, is elected Mayor
by a majority Of 55SS; and William Nelson
West, Republican, is re, elected City Solicitor
by majority OF 2O,s62. Mr.. Vests MAORI
ty represents the Republican party majority
as nearly as may be, 1862 and this added
to Mr.. Hunters majority of26, 6,ll6, make an
aggregate of 46,97s, and this, in turn, shows
the extent to which all the "bosses" Of
every kind were defeated at Tuesdays cleo
ton IN Philadelphia. The people have as
serted their independence in most emphatic
form and substance.

The Hon. Fernando Wood died at Hot
Springs, Ark, on Sunday evening, aged Gs.
His death is due to gout, complicated with
rheumatism. Mr.. Wood was born in Phila-
delphia, on June Il, 1912, the day upon
which President Madison's Cabinet decided
to declare war upon Great Britain. Henry
Wood, his original ancestor, who came to
this country in the seventeenth century,
settled in Rhode Island, but in 1855 moved
to the vicinity of Philadelphia, on the New
Jersey side Of the Delaware River, in order
TO avoid Rhode Island Puritan prosecutions.
The original family burying ground is said
TO exist yet, short distance north OF Cam
den. Mr.. Woods father removed to New
York in 1920, aud six years later Mr., Wood
began his career as a clerk. In 1882 he
commenced business for himself, having
previously worked at cigarmaking, which
trade he had picked up from observation.
The cholera epidemic of 1882 caused his
business venture to fail, and he returned to
clerkingi but in 1886 he again essayed busi-

LEAVENWORTH.
LEAvESwoRrH. Kas., Feb. 0. 1881.

EDIroR CARBON ADVOCATE When, after
an absence of fifteen years. revisited my
old home at Weissport and Lehighton, was
overwhelmed and bewidered at the marvel.
Gus changes that had taken place. Most of
the old cherished landmarks had disappear
ed-been blotted out by the strides of i'm
provement, and it was difhcut TO realize
that your borough of to-day was the old Lee
highton l had left so few years ago. The
whole country seemed to have been renew
ed and built over, and the town presented
scene Of thrift and enterprise which was a
surprise TO even a Western man. | missed
many old familiar faces, and was deeply i'm
pressed at the havoc grim death had occa-
stoned in the ranks of the old settlers OF
Carbon county. The Aourishng condition
of Lehighton and Weissport was a source of
qualification not only to myself, but to others
away off here, to whom l communicated
the pleasing news. My example will even
tuate in more pilgrimages from the scattered
boys and girls who have strayed away TO
the prairies. They all seemed to have an
attack of home-siekness when l described
the dear old burgh, and expressed a determ-
ination to revisit you.
After leaving Lehighton | went TO New
York, where purchased a car load of trop-
lea. fruits, aud brought it safely through TO
this place, despite the severe cold weather.
] put up stove in the ear, and keptan even
and pleasant temperature during the entire
trip, so that not an orange or lemon got
frozen. My whole trip was enjoyable in
every detail, the only regret being that
could not tarry longer with my old child
hood friends aud neighbors, Of whom there
are some, doubt not, who will read this
that will have pleasant recollections.
Yet the prairies Of rare old Kansas never
appeared haudsomer TO me than on my re-
turn. All nature seemed 10 be awakening
with the approaching advent of spring, after
the severest winter ever experienced IN the
Stale. There Is vigor out here, in this
Western atmosphere, that banshes indol-
ence and iniuses energy.

The trial of General Secretary D. r.
Jones, of the Coal Miners Association, for
conspiracy in inducing the coal miners Of
the Waverly Coal Co., to strike, which has
been in progress for several days at Green's
burg, Pa was concluded Monday evening
the jury finding Jones guilty as indicted.
The trial has created great interest among
the working classes throughout the country,
especially those connected with labor unions,
who look upon the case as one involving a
broad principle. The conviction is consid-
ed as direct stab at all such organizations,
and establishing precedent whereby other
officers of leading trades unions may be
prosecuted.

a number of women being the contestants,
much i'll feeling was developed. When
Hon. Judge Jameson rose to retire for
lunch, one Of the contestants, no longer able
10 govern her anger, struck another with
her fist. The blow was returned, then hair
pulling was INDUCED in, until, in few
minutes eight women, one of them 10 years
of age, were involved in the fight. The at
torneys for the contestants separated the
principal clients by sezng them by the
waists, and the Temperance of the Judge
finally restored quiet, though scratched faces
and torn clothes gave evidence of the fray.
