leaders of the State League, and re-
ceived thrashing that sent the stock
of the team far below par. The score
was II to 0. Wilkesbarre played an
errorless game and pounded out eleven
hits, knocking the sphere in any dir
ection that suited them. Jeanesville
got in four little scratches and made
four errors"

RAILROAD STATEMENTS.


Readings, LehiGh Valleys and Jersey
CentrAl's Issued Tuesday.
The eagerly awaited and much-dis-
cussed statements of the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad and Coal and
Iron Companies were issued late Tues
day afternoon, as were also condensed
statements of the Lehigh Valley and
Central of New Jersey Railroads,
Those of the two Reading Companies
were not as good as expected, simply
because since the recent deal eXpecta-
tions have far exceeded existing con-
ditions.
The statements, however, are really
very favorable when put into compari,
son with May of last year. The surplus
of both companies shows an increase
of Ss77, ,5sO-s29 900 for the railroad
company and s47 $50 for the coal and
iron company. For the first half of the
year there is an increase in the surplus
of 81, ,oS4 ,2O5, while far the same period
in 1891 there was deficit of slOl, ,73i.
