READING DEFEATED,

It's Deal Declared to Be Unconstitutional
and the Trust Must Be Dissolved.
New YORK, Aug. 26.-The Reading
deal, so far as the state of New Jersey
is concerned, has been knocked out.
The suit of the people of the common
wealth against the combination has
been decided in the peoples favor.
The Reading deal is unconstitution.
al, illegal. null and void. So
says Chancellor McGil in decision
made known Thursday. The chancellor
holds that the trust must be dissolved.
1t is against the public policy, because
it aims to create a monopoly in an
thrascite coal, an article of very general
consumption in the state. 1t is illegal,
because the law expressly forbids such
leases and com binations among rail-
roads. Four times since the trust was
formed the Reading combine has used
those powers of monopoly which Chan
cellor McGill condemned to increase
the price of coal. There will be no
doubt an appeal from Chancellor Nc
Gilps decision. but the fact that so
eminent jurist has declared the PEG.
pies side in the issue to be right is
sufficient indication of the probable
final result of the great struggle.

POPULARITY OF THE bike -

With what wonderful rapidity the
bicycle has gone into use>all over the
country, and as its utility has been
demonstrated new features have i'm
proved it's comforts. The pneumatic
tire is rapidly taking the place of
cushion tires; the tandem, and the
seats for the little ones makes it almost
possible to take the family and go to
town." The army officers have been
testing it as means for the transpor-
tation of messages and troops. It is
not likely, however, that it can take
the place of the railways for transpor-
tation. Their speed and comfort is
hardly to be met by any competition.

Terrible Explosion In u Coiliery In Wales

Terrible Explosion In 4 Coiliery In Wales
Over One Hundred Men Imprisoned.
LONDON, Aug. 27.-A fearful mining
accident occurred yesterday at the
Park Slip coal pit near Bridge End, a
mining town in Glamorganshire, Wales.
The day shift Of miners had not been
long in the mine before a most ter
rible explosion was heard. The
day shift comprised $50 men, and
their relatives and friends rushed
to the pit mouth to learn the extent of
the disaster. The explosion had caused
the earth and rock to fall and the
mouth of the pit was closed. -
Not single man of the $50 in the
mine had made his escape and it is
feared that there has been great loss OF
life. Hundreds of the miners in the
vicinity have volunteered their services
and the work of clearing the pit mouth
is being pushed as rapidly as circum.
stances will permit.
In the afternoon rescuing party
assembled to the surface bearing with
them two men whom they had found
near the bottom of the pit. Both the
men were badly burned and uncon.
scious. The physicians have little hope
of their recovery.
Shortly after these men were brought
up the flames from the buring pit as
cended and set fire to the structures al
the pit-head. When the flames issued
from the pit all hope was abandoned.
Those who escaped death in the ex.
plosion have certainly been suffocated
or burned tod cath.
