the ex-sheritf only partially relates of an
experience with three strangers several

Linderman was visited at his home by a
gentleman who gave the name of b. w.
Wilson, and said he desired to buy farm
Tor an Allentown lady. He looked at a
farm which Linderman had for sale, said

upon u price, to which was added $500 as
commission for Wilson. Just what
happened after this Linderman does NOT

BELT LINE VICTORY.
Philadelphia Council Passes the Ordi.,
nance and Reading Terminal.


nance and Reading Terminal.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-THE Belt Line
and Reading Terminal ordinances were
passed by select council yesterday. The
obstructionists in that chamber were as.
tonished at the strength exhibited by tho
friends of the Belt Line bill, which was
passed in conformity with the minority
report of the railroad committee.
The passage of both bills at one session
of the council was hailed with delight by
the friends of progress and the promoters
of the prosperity of Philadelphia. Both
measures will be considered by common
council tomorrow, and there is every in.
dication that the two bills will be passed
by that body by decisive majority.
The Reading Terminal ordinance was
taken up first. II was passed unanimously
every member of the chamber voting fol-
it. This surprising vote is explained BY
the fact that secret caucus of those mem.
bers of Select Council who are under tho
thumb of the Pennsylvania Railroad Conn
pany was held at noon yesterday, and
every man who had pledged himself Ia
vote against the Terminal bill was dissolved
of the pledge in order to strengthen the
opposition against the Belt Line ordinance.
II was subsequently explained that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Companys agent,
seeing that the Reading Terminal ordi-
nance would pass, concentrated all the
strength at his command to have the Bell
Line ordinance postponed for week, in
response to letter from President Roberts
of the Pennsylvania railroad, in order that
the differences between the two companies
might be arbltrated The chamber, by
vote of q to 10, refused to postpone the
measure, as it was evident that the PROPOSE
ton was made only TO delay the bill,

street lamps in places where they were
much needed, but the only fault to find is
that they did NOT put enough new ones up,
for there are many places that should be

condition, there being less paved space Of

TIE National bankruptcy law pending in the House of Representatives is one of the best measures of the sort ever drafted. It is calculated to meet want that the moneyed and commercial inter- ests of the country have long felt It SC happens that some of the best and most enterprising merchants sometime or other go to the wall. If they can pass through bankruptcy, so as to gain a fresh start, such men can nearly always get new credit and frequently build up new fortunes. Jay Cooke, Philadelphia's famous banker, is cited as a notable ex' ample, though he is not by any means an isolated one, since every large city furnishes thousands of them. The bill is really a California one, but is pushed by National organization. It should become law.
