BIG RAILROAD DEAL MADE.

The Reading Absorbs tho Jersey Cen
tral and Lehigh Roads.
New YORK, Feb. 10.-The Jersey
Central and Lehigh Valley railroads
have passed under the control Of the
Reading. The Reading guarantees
the payment Of dividends up to seven
per cent. on both Jersey Central and
Lehigh stocks.
The dividends will be, It is said, on
a sliding scale for several years. To
secure this guarantee Reading puts
In trust securities enough to cover
the amount needed each year, which
is about 81, 500, 900.
Neither property has been leased to
the Reading, because that Is against
the law.
The executive officers Of the Jersey
Central and Lehigh Valley are to have
conspicuous recognition in the reor-
ganization. This com bination will
control nearly fifty per cent Of the
coal trade.
1t Is understood that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has assented to the
agreement and that tho Vanderbilts
have agreed to abandon the Southern
Pennsylvania Railroad scheme.

AND, PERHAPS, BREAK THE TRUST.

His Attack on the Pool OF Iss6-CosI

New YORK, Feb. 15.-The stupen-
dous coal combine. engineered by the
leading financial houses OF New York
and Philadelphia and the managers
OF the corporations engaged In the
anthracite coal trade, is the most alb
sorbing topic in Wall street to-day.
Wall street has become nervous
over the possibility that a vigorous
stand may be taken by the State au-
thorities Of Pennsylvania against this
gigantic monopoly. 1t Is known that
Gov. Pattison Is no friend Of monop-
olies, and In 1885, during his first
term In Office, he issued q strong pre-
sentiment against several railroads
and other corporations which had
combined to control the anthracite
coal trade, and which had at that
time arbitrarily advanced the price Of
coal.
In his letter to the attorney-gen-
eral OF the State at that time Gov.
Pattison said: "They can mark up
coal prices to any figures they please,
thereby subjecting tho public to their
mercy, injuriously and unwarran tably
taxing every firsside, and imposing
upon coal consumers the financial
burdens which the speculations OF
some Of these companies have en-
gepdered. :,
Against such ombinations tho
individual is helpless. The Common.
wealth OF Pennsylvania, In creating
corporations that are members of the
anthracite coal com bin ations, vested
them with the right Of eminent do
main and other fran chises Of a public
nature. They owe certain duties to
their creator. Their Interference with
the natural currents or conditions
OF trade has been In violation OF
what is believed to be sound public
policy, and against the best interests
OF the State. 1t prejudices the public
and Expresses individuals. It is q
perversion OF the purpose for which
they were created"
1t is believed that Gov. Pattison
holds the same views to-day that he
did when he made this telling ar
raignment in 1886. The only differ.
ence is that the situation is now much
more alarming than 1t was then.

make the leap together. but she re-
fused to do so on account Of the purse
being too small and the water too
cold. Stanley then agreed to jump
alone.
