regular.

Another discovery has been made In the
Hallinger case. 1t was pointed out BY
Lawyer Charles ]. Peshall. It Is that the
proceedings before Judge Green Tuesday
were irregular, and that the appeal to tha
Circuit Court is time wasted by everyone
but Hallinger. While was talking to
Mr.. Peshall yesterday about his discovery
letter from Trenton was handed him.
1t had been written by Lindley Rowe.
and it notified Mr.. Peshall that Tuesdays
proceedings in Court were irregular and
of no effect.
THE LAW IN THE CASE.
Mr.. Peshall said that the information
In the letter was correct, and he referred
me to the following act which was passed
by the Fifty-frst Congress and took effect
last April. 1t covers this case, and Sec
tlon 4 provides:-"That no appeal,
whether by writ of error or otherwise,
shall hereafter be taken or allowed from
any District Court TO the existing Circuit
Courts, and no appellate jurisdiction
shall hereafter be exercised or allowed by
said existing Circuit Courts, but all ap-
| peals by writ of error or otherwise from
said District Courts shall only be sub
ject to review in the Supreme Court of
the United States or in the Circuit Courts
| of Appeals hereby established, as is here
matter provided
Mr.. Peshall says that this act prevents
the Circuit Court Judge from acting in
Hallenger's case further than declaring
| the appeal was wrongrully made. because
the Circuit Court has no jurisdiction in
the case. He ADDED that nothing would
be done until the third Monday in March
when the Circuit Court begins, and then
the appeal would be dismissed for want
| Of jurisdiction"
THE FURTHER PROCEEDINGS.
This action. Mr.. Peshall says, will place
Hallinger three times in jeopardy, for he
will have to be resentenced. When this
is done, Mr.: Peshall will again apply for
writ of habeas corpus to Judge Green,
and if it is refused, an appeal to the
United States Supreme Court will be
| taken.
Counsellor Peshall said last night that
| he had no desire for delay in the final ter
| mination of Hallinger's case, and he
would like to have the Attorney General
waive with him all technicalities and SUBJ
NIT the case on its merits to the Circuit
Court. This could be done by having the
original writ issue from that Court. Mr..
Peshall is SO confident of winning his
legal fight, he will make this proposition
| to the Attorney General.

VREELAND'S BARN BURNED.


A Badly Managed Fire-A Bucket Bril-
gade's Good Work
Aslight fire at the foot of Winfield ave-
nue., Greenville, caused considerable ex-
citement yesterday afternoon. 1t was in
the barn of Daniel Wence on the New
York bay shore. Box No. So was pulled
by Policeman Thau and engines Nos. Sand
10 and antiquated No. truck responded.
The nearest water plug was at Linden
avenue and Avenue e, but the tiremen
ran the hose down Linden avenue instead
of cutting across the lots. The result
was that with all the hose available the
firemen found that they needed few
hundred feet more in order to reach the
barn. BY the time the error was rectined
the fire had communicated TO the large
three-story dwelling adjoining the barn.
Mr.. George Vreeland. who was nearby.

A short regular meeting of the Union
Hill Council was held last night. Becker
g. Co. notified the Council that
the new engine house in New
York avenue was finished and ready
for inspection. 1t was decided
to inspect the house as a Committee of

Railroad asked the Council for permis-
sion to erect poles on the west side of the
boulevard in preparation for the intro
duction OF electricity. The matter was
referred to the Street Committee.
Town CLERK Forman said he was un-
certain as to whether collector was to
be elected in the spring. and asked for the
opinion of the Town Counsel.
The property owners on Bergenwood

COMBINE STOCKS BOOM.
A Wild Scene On Wall Street This
Morning-Heavy Speculation.

The Stock Exchange has seldom pre-
sented scene of greater activity and ex-
citement than it did this morning just
after the opening.
The announcement that the great deal
by which the Reading Railroad Company
has obtained control of the Lehigh VAL
ley and the New Jersey Central Com
panies had been consummated had given
the market q tremendous boom yesterday,
but it had gathered force over night.
Reading sold at the close last evening
at 55 1-2. This morning it opened at
81 1-2, and went up by jumps until it
reached 64. an advance of 8 1-2 points,
and all within the first few minutes after
the opening.
ing orders. and fairly climbed over each
other in their eagerness to make trades.
There were few selling orders from
London at the opening, but those were
swept away like chaff in the wiIdfire of
excitement that followed the sounding of
the gong.
Dealings were largely confined to
Reading stock, and out of 100000 shares
of listed stocks sold during the first hour
after the opening, 270,0 were of Read
ing.
The volume of the business transacted
was something unprecedented. The floor
ol tne po"SssnME12H q 80 was oio o"ued WIN
excited brOners. and swarms OF messenger
boys were running in and out con-
tinuously.
The galleries were thronged, and with
in the four walls of the big Board room
perfect pandemonium reigned.
a curious thing about the market, was
that while the coal stocks were so trem-
endously strong, the rest of the list seem
ed to be weak.
The general list was evidently being en-
tirely neglected by the traders.
A big business was done in New Jersey
Central, which advanced 3 points during
the first hour of business, to 1917, and
Delaware g. Hudson Canal Company
which jumped up four points this morn
ing to l34115 After the first bulge there
was a slight reaction and Reading de-
clined to 63.
The genera. opinion in Wall street is
that the stock will sell at par before long.
Reading bonds, of which there is u
large and varied assortment. have also
felt the effect of the boom, and this
morning they were all quoted from to
IL per cent higher than The last reported
sales.
Strange to say, the activity in Reading
and Delaware and Hudson, did not seem
to affect Delaware and Lackawanna in
the slightest.
