The Lehigh Valley Railroad
Defended by a Pennsylvanis
Court.

In the Northampton County
Court an opinion has been handed
down in relation to the Philadelphia
and Reading and Lehigh Valley
Railroad deal. The suit was
brought by Elizabeth S. Gummers
ct al against the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company ct al, and
asked for the appointment of a
receiver for the Lehigh Valley and
for preliminary injunction. The
motion for a receiver was based
on any number of allegations, the
purpose of which was that the
directors OF the company are en-
gagged in a conspiracy to ruin it
in the interest of the Philadelphia
and Reading.
The motion for a receiver was
denied on the ground that there
was not the slightest evidence to
support it.
Judge Schuyler dismissed the
question of conspiracy very lightly,
as if he thought that the railroad
officials were to be taken at their
word and affidavit. OF course they
meant no deception. The opinion
says on this point
There is not spark of evidence to
implicate the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company. The Lehlgh Valley lease
was the first step in what will jpass into
history as the great Reading deal, !"
which was consummated the following
day by t1ei acquisition of like lease
from the Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey. Whatever purpose vas in the mind
of the Reading directors when they
acquired the Lehigh Valley lease, we
discover no evidence that the Lehigh
Valley directors participated in or even
knew of that purpose. These two allie
cations, therefore, may be dismissed
without further consideration.

Every subscriber of a local paper
should make it a point to file every
paper received. In after years the
pleasure of perusing the account of
happenings that have in many
cases passed from memory will be
greater than reading events fresh

newspapers possess an inestimable
value, providing, as they do, the
means of missing links in the chain
of local history.

Sullivan County, N. Y, this sum-
mer from New Jersey, that we
believe the following description
of the place, portion OF which is
taken from the Ontario & Westerns
Summer Homes" book, will prove
interesting.
Liberty is one of the most pop
ular resorts in Sullivan County,
situated 1873 feet above tidewater,
still in the valley of the middle
Mongaup, stream whose name
signifies in Indian dancing fea-
ther, and around which the glisten-
| ing steel of the railroad track winds
in almost a true line of beauty, on
its upward climb, two miles be-
yond, to the summit between the
blue lake, Indian named Ontario,
and the sea. To the north of the
village lie a range of hills, more
than 1000 feet high, dappled with
fields and woods, where the cozy
farm house nestles, and up whose
sides the gardens climb. West
| ward lies Walnut Mountain, from
whose summit eleven lakes, gleam-
ing like silver shields in an emerald
setting, may be seen with the naked
eye. From this coign of vantage
the vision may range from the
wood capped peaks of Pennsylva-
MIA to the crags of the Catskills,
where the ghostly crew of Navig-
ator Hudson keep their vigils,
and where Rip Van Wink1e took
his nap.
The whole panorama is wood
sey and wild and lonesome, east
and west and north and south,
while
Along its tawny gravel-bed
Broad flowing swift and still,
As if its meadows levels felt
The hurry of the hills
stretches the Mongaup,
'Noiseless between its banks Of green
From curve to curve it slips; +
The drowsy maple shadows rest
Like fingers on its lips.
The high altitude, with its cool,
health-imparting breezes, combine
to make Liberty very desirable
as summer home. The walks
and drives about the country are
beautiful and romantic. For all
those who desire to pass vacation
amid beautiful scenery, pure air
and water, with fresh and bounti-
full dairy products, amid streams
and ponds well stocked with trout
and bass, upland and marsh with
whirringpartridge and silent wood
cock, we would suggest their locat-
ing in one of the quite farm or
boarding houses, which are too
numerous to mention here. Zone
of these houses, Mr.. Henry Ern-
hout's White Sulphur Springs
House, near Liberty, is advertised
on our second page.) Remem-
Der, too, that Liberty is best
reached via the Ontario & Western
Railroad, railroad which, under
the able management of Mr.. ]. c.
Anderson has been greatly i'm
T, proved during the past five years.
The cars are complete modern
luxuries;the speed is rapid and safe
and the regions traversed are en-
chanting Pending the completion
of improvements at the foot of Jay
street, the Ontario & Western ferry
boats start from the foot of West
18th Street and West 4ad Street.
