from the Sixth and Tenth wards in this
city, and also from adjacent towns, the
railroad companies manage to handle the

How Gen. Lilly Lost 500, 900.
READING, Pa, July 2l.-The Allentown
rolling mills were sold to Charles Gilpin,
ESQ, to-day, on account OF the Donuhold-
ers, who are A. Pardee 4 Co., for 500, 900.
The bonded indebtedness was 100000, of
which Pardee 4 Co. held 100000 origin
ally, and lately purchased the balance at
fifty cents on the dollar. They held book
accounts against the concern to the amount
of about 81, ,3C0, 900, so that although they
appear to have secured great bargain for
S2OO, 900, the work actually cost them about
two millions of dollars The works will be
run by the owners, and under private man
agement, ii is expected, will no doubt, be
more profitably conducted than formerly.
The heaviest looSer in these mills, next to
the Pardees, il is said, is Gen. William
Lilly, Of Mauch Chunk, who sunk a round
hundred thousand in the concern. All the
present stockholders lose every cent they
invested
