with much seriousness:
There has been q change in the system.
Corbett is down to hard work now and he
doesn't go outside the house ut night Nobody
but his hackers and intimate friends are al
lowed around the training quarters now. and
he is working hard and steadily. He only goes
out in the daytime to walk and row. and at

EAsroN, Aug. Judge Schuyler, In tho
Northam pton County Court to-day fled his
opinion in tho case OF Elizabeth &. Gummere
and others against tho Lehieh Valley Railroad
COMPANY, It being motion for n receiver for
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company and for
a preliminary Injunction restraining the Read
ing Railroad from operating the Lehigh VAL
ley. The motion was based on allegations.
the purport OF which was that the directors OF
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company were on
gagged in n conspiracy to ruin that company in
the interest OF the Philadelphia and Reading
Company. Tho Court says there is not the
slightest evidence to support the allegations.
In further reference to tho subject. the Court
says:
Tho contention OF the comrlanants Is that
this lease is illegal. first. because 1t was not
within tho ordinary management OF the COM
pany. and, therefore, not within the powers Of
tho directors to mako It, and In tho second
place, because. as tho complalnants allege,
the lines Of tho LehiGh Valley and philadsl-
phia and Heading railroads were at the date
OF the lease parallel or connecting, and. there
fore the lease was In violation OF article Z
section 1 OF the Constitution. which provides
that no railr5ad sornoFF r, shall lease or
pllrChAS6 the wOrkS OF franchises in any
way control any other railroad corportion
owning OF, having under its control II parallel
We are not ask ed to intefere with the nos
session OF tho property which would still re-
main in the Philadelphia and Recalling Rail-
road Company. but merely to restrain that
company BY Injunction from using the prop.
erty. it's plain that such nm injunction would
do tho complainants no good while it would
work incalculuble injury to tho Philadelphia
and Reading railroad Company. We have no
right to issue u preliminary injunction under
such circumstances
Recurring to the question OF the validity Of
the lease on tho question OF competing
lines. Judge Schuyler said that it must DO
remem bered that the Reading first leased the
Lehirh Valley. and that 1t subsequently ac-
qured control Of the Lehigh and SusQuehnnna
road. a competing limo. through thu lease OF
the Central Railroad OF New Jersey 1t was
clear therefore that the lease of the Lehgh
Valley, being first made and effected. must
stand. unless II could TO determined that tho
Reading and the I.ehgh Valley wero Compel

TIE HORSE AND tLREIIGE TRADE
A Dull Horse Mnrk~t-~low Sni-s OF Carr
rinRes and Wnao =.

The excessive hcnt last week made business
very dull In tho horse md carriage trade.
Notable exceptions, however, were tho regu.
lar Tuesday and Friday sales mt Van Tassell b
kearneys. The attendance was slim. but
nenrly every ono was a buyer, and. as many Of
the horses and carriages offered we're OF high
quality, many were sold at satisfactory prices.
Quotations OF tho local horse market are:
Pairs OF carriage horses. $500 to 81 80: good
drivers $3.50 to $500 each: teams Of express
or truck horses. 5000 to $1,000: saddlers Oe
high quality. SlCO TO 81 900 each: business
horses. $175 to $500. and strectcrs. Sl25 to
$3.50.
In the carriage trade there Is a general
movement among dealers toward lowor priced
for summer carriages. Every house Is marking
them down to the lowest figure. This offers
an unusual chance to purchase an entirely
new and stylish vehicle at little cost.
The studebaker Bros Manufacturing Com.
pany were among the first to lower their prices
on fancy traps. At their repository, 2U5 and psf
