TO EJECT THE READING.
Six Suits in Eiecment Filed Yesterday
Against AnstIn Corbin's Big Road--A
Resume Of an Interesting Case.

Six Suits in Ejecment Filed Yesterday
Against AnstIn Corbin's Big Road--A
Resume Of an Interesting Case.
1t will be remembered that the Wall
street and Philadelphia stock markets were
somewhat shaken about three months since
by the fling of several petitions in the
United States Circuit Court in this city pray
ing for the appointment of a receiver for the
Reading Railroad Stock of the company
tumbled two points and was only rendered
frmer by the immediate appearance of Pres
ident Austin Corbin in print with solemn
assurances that there was nothing in the
suits for damages which accompanied the
petition for the appointment of receiver,
and that the Robert Morris Land and Coal
Company, which brought the suit, was a
business myth resting upon the unsubstan-
tial foundation of more or less diaphanous
Revolutionary land-titles.
But the filing of six supplemental suits for
ejectment yesterday in the Clerks Office of
the United States District Court in this
city, looks as if there is business smeant by
the opponents Of the Reading.
The Robert Morris Land and Coal Com
psny was formed in last May with capital
of S., ,OOO,O 900 with the distinct purpose of
wrestling from the Reading Railroad the
possession of !, 100 acres OF valuable coal
lands in Northumberland county. The al
Legations made by the original suit were
that the Reading Railroad was mining 81
10000 worth Of coal annually and that
timber etc., was being taken from the land
to its great detriment. It was claimed that
the titles to the land held by the Reading
were fraudulent or imperfect tax titles. AS
a cOrrelative of the suit the claim was made
that the railroad was utterly insolvent, etc.
The Robert Morris Land Company has
had its movements guided by such eminent
legal advisers as Wayne McVeagh and
host of others, and when the case is argued
here in the January term, number of emil
nent lawyers will represent both sides.

THE CASINO STILL OPEN.

The Scene of the Fire Cannot be Touched
by the Authorities.
Building Inspector Brown and Fire Mar
shal McFadden inspected the Casino yester-
day forenoon, but did not order the build
ing closed. They think the smoke was
caused by cigar stump which was thrown
among paper in the cellar. The Casino has
been several times condemned by the build
ing inspector, but as it was built before the
board on wooden buildings was created, the
condemnation cannot be enforced.
The Casino was open as usual last even
ing, and was visited by large crowd. The
injury by the affair of Thursday night was
trivial,

OPINIONS OF LABORlLRADERs.

Aney taNor Chaln-Oangs working on Bad
Highways Opposed 70 Interference
With the gOiler.
The opinion of labor leaders on the uues-
tion of finding employment for convicts is
favorable to providing them with such work
as will not compete with regul,rr labor. The
officials OF the Amalgamated Association
were seen in relation to the sui ject. Secre-
tary Martin said:
81 am opposed to putting convict labor to
work on roads where it would compete with
men who earn a living by such work, but 1
think il would be good idea to put them to
work on roads which are now altogether
neglected. Take, for instance, the road from
this city to Homestead. 1t isin a neglected
condition, and it seems to be nobodg's busi-
ness to keepit in repair. There Is good
opportunity Of employing convict labor.

THE OLD LOG COLLEGE.
A Celebration Commemorative of the
En.ndinn. of tho n-.nh-Lo.ia- CAn-oh

A Celebration Commemorative of the
Founding of the Presbyterian Church.
Log COLLEGE GROUNDS. Pa, Sept. 5.-The
odd Log College" celebration, under the aus
pices of the presbytery of Philadelphia, North,
was held to-day on the old Tennent farm, near
Hartsville, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, where
the college was originally located The farm is
about twenty miles from Philadelphia. The
exercises of the day are really commemorative
of the founding OF the presbyterian church in
the United States. The log college was estab-
lished in 1925 by William Tennent and flour
ished until 1742, when Princeton college was
founded, and it may be said that the Princeton
institution of learning sprang up from the
primitive college established by Tennent.
Early this morning President Harrison, ac-
companied by p NJ. Gen. Wanamaker, Mrs.
Harrison, the Rev. J. w. Scott and Private
Secy. Halford drove over from Jenkiutown,
Mr.. Wanamaker's country home where the
party had spent the night. The president was
given a most hearty welcome. Gov. Beaver,
who was also one Of the party, came in for
generous ovation.
The exercises of the day made long pro-
gram, including addresses by the Rev. j. X.
Turner of Martinsville, Pa, descriptive of the
founding of the log college and the useful
career of its founder; by the Rev. T.. NJ. Patter-
son, ID. ID. IL. j. of Philadelphia editor of
the Presbyterian, on LOG College Evangel-
ists;" by the Rev. Dr. Murray, dean of Prince
ton college; by the Rev. Richard McIIwaine
ID. D. LII. D., president of Hamden Sydney
college, Virginia, on Influence of the Log
College in the South"
At the conclusion of the Rev. Mr.. McIlwaine's
address President Harrison was introduced and
spoke briefly. At the conclusion of his
remarks the president and party were escorted
to a special tent prepared for them, where
bountiful lunch was spread. The lunch was
entirely informal, and at its conclusion the
president, Mrs. Harrison, and the Rev. Mr..
Scott entered their carriage and started back to
Mr.. Wanamakers att enkintown at , 40 o'clock
The Rev. Ebenezer Erskine, ID. D., of New
vile, Pa. delivered an address on "Presbyter-
ians of :he Cumberland Valley" at the after
noon session. Short addresses were also made
by Gov Beaver, p. M.-Gen. Wanamaker and
President Knox of Lafayette college, which
closed the days exercises The attendance is
estimated at %, 900.

Hints to Housekeepers.

A little gum arabic imparts a gloss to ordi-
nary starch.
To clean steel, rub the article with piece Of
wash leather dipped in kerosene
A good egg has a clean, healthy-looking shell,
while bad one has a dull, provisioning
shell.
Cake is baked when fine splinter of wood
will pass through without any of the cake adj
herring and not until then.
When papering a room, a small apartment
can be made to appear large by being covered
with a paper of subdued color without any
particular design.
When ivory becomes discolored it may be re-
stored to its white color by being soaked in wa
ter and when wet exposed to the action OF the
light while shut up in well-closed glass case
If, before grinding the mornings coffee, the
berries are heated for four or five minutes. or
until they take on a darker shade of brown, the
flavor of the coffee will be much improved.
If the varnish on the woodwork or furniture
is changed in spots TO white from drops OF col
ogne of bay rum, or from heated dishes, it can
be changed back by lightly rubbing the spot
with cloth wet in camphor
Articles made of ivory should not be exposed
to heat or dryness. They should never be ex-
posed to the direct rays of hot sun, or placed
in closet near or under fire. as they are very
apt to split under such circumstances.
To prevent tin from rusting, rub fresh lard
over every part OF the ulSn, anu tnen put IL IN
a hot oven and heat it thoroughly Thus
treated any tinware may be used in water from
rust indefinitely.
Scissors should be kept in good order. 1t is
a mistake to use old scissors, which have be-
come nicked at the edges, for trimming lamp
wicks. This is frequently the cause of uneven
wicks, which smoke the chimney and give a
very uncertain light.
A sponge is excellent for washing windows,
and newspapers will polish them without leav-
ing dust and streaks. Use a soft pine stick to
cleanse the accumulations of dust from the cor
ners of the sash. Ammonia will give the glass
a clearer look than soap.
If your sewing machine needs cleaning oil
all the bearings with kerosene, used freely.
Run your machine fast for few minutes un.
threaded then wipe of clean; oil with machine
oil. and you will be surprised TO see how easily
it will run and how clean it will look.
Stone jars in which lard has been kept and
greasy pie plates, may be cleansed by putting
them in kettle with ashes sal-soda, cover
ing them with cold water, and allowing them to
boil slowly for two hours. Let them cool in
the water.
To clean and tighten cabe-seat chairs, turn
up the chair bottom. and with hot water and
sponge wash the cane work so that it may
be thoroughly soaked. Should it be dirty use
little soap. Let il dry in the air, and it
will be as tight and firm as when new
