A Great Railroad Deal.

One of che greatest railroad combinations
ever effected in the history of railroading
has just been brought about by the Read g.
ing, whereby it secures control for 999
years OF an aggregate mileage of
nearly 1000 miles of railroad and
nearly so per cent. Of the anthra-
cite coal region. The roads absorbed
are the New Jersey Central and the Lehigh
Valley. and after Feb. % the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western will pass under
the same central management, though each
road will. to a certain degree, retain its
autonomy. except in matters of general
policy.
The effect of this giant deal will be a
shut down. virtually, of competition in
coal. The Reading is coal producer as
well as II coal carrier, and is now master of
the situation, with power to make its own
terms and prices. However, the engineers
OF the combination say that prices will not
be made higher; if any change at all is
made it will be in the line of reduction, as
it is the purpose Of the combine to
consolidate offices and officers cut off all
expense that can be done consistent with
good service, and institute general policy
OF retrenchment that will put the property
on profit-paying basis without cost to
coal consumers. AS a matter Of fact, the
absorbed roads have been paying good divi-
dends heretofore; but corporations are never
averse to increasing their net earnings. 1t is
said that the gross earnings of the consoli~
dated roads the current year will amount
to $50, 00o, 900.
The general belief is that the Vanderbilts
have secured control of the Reading, as we'll
as the absorbed roads, and that the Pennsyl-
vania will agree to work in complete har.
mony with the combination. thus forming a
great line with girdiron of track from the
coal regions to the lakes and the ocean.
And this accounts for the great furry In
Reading railroad stock noted in the Morn
ING News dispatches yesterday. Nearly
400, 900 shares we're sold Thursday in blocks
as large as so 600 each.

An Opera Matinee IN Peris.

The first matinee that has ever taken place at
the Grand Opera, in the way Of regular per
Torrance, says a Paris letter in the Philadel-
phia Telegraph. came Of two days ago. and
was an immense success. Popular prices we're
tie rule. the best seats in the house costing
from 50 cents TO 81 co. for which sums places
could be secured beforehand without extra
charge Ticket ruled lower as the spectators
mounted higher. TIL. in the fonrth gallery. the
uppermost OF all. the price Of admission was /
franc, only 20 centsl- And as one eau hear and
ses to perfection in that very lofty position
impecunious lovers OF music we're decidedly 70
luck.
There was not a vacant seat in the whole vast
theater- The boxes on the two fashionable tiers
the first and second, we're crowded with groups
or delighted children, or with merry schoolboys
and girls. winding up their ChristInan HOLIDAYS
IN this enhancing fashion. The performance
comprised the ballet Of "Coppelia," with the
and the opera OF La Favorita." with Mme.
Deschamps-Jehin considered by a good many
connolsseurs as the finest female SINGER of the
company, in the role of "Leonora." So it will be
compromised that IL. Bertrand the incoming
diector. had done his best by his new class Of
patrons.
The performance began at O'Clock. and
there was an intermission of half an hour after
the ballet, to give time TO the spectators to 20
and get something to eat Anything like a regu-
lar meal was, of course. out of the question, but
an tne restaurants in the neighborhood were
beseiged. the bill of fare in general being sand
wicheS and beer, while all the refreshment bars
in the opera itself were literary cleaned out A
good many Of the spectators in the cheap places
had, with commendaoe forethought, supplied
themselves with provisions, bringing rolls and
sansages and such small eatabes with them in
luncheon baskets, as they used to do at the
University exposition. Then the opera was
given, and everybody was most enthusiastic
and applauded all the performers with frenzy
and insisted upon calling them three or four
times before the curtain at the close of each
ended
At last the poorer classes Of Paris have offered
TO them the highest form of musical entertain
ments, at prices within their means, and they
are no longer compelled to seek for cheap
amusements at the cafe-concerts and the music
halls. So important was this experiment con-
sidered that the minister of public instruction
gave directions to NJ. Bertrand to prepare and
forward to him a report of the Representation
before the end Of the evening.
