"A correspondent at New Hope writes
as follows to the NeWto,cn Enterprise :.
The report that the boating OF coal on
the Delaware Division Canal has been
stopped is not true. On April we re-
ceived orders to notify all captains OF
company boats (that were empty to tie
up at home until further orders, for the
very reason that there was large accu-
mutation Of boats at Mauch Chunk, and
coal was not coming In freely. II was
thought best for them to tie up al home,
where they could live cheaper than at
Mauch Chunk, until such times as they
could load them promptly, when they
would be sent for. This is perhaps the
foundation for the rumor. II Is not at all
likely that the recent combination among
the companies will affect the canal seri-
ously. The Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company is not in the combine 1t Is
true the l.. & s. Road, owned by The L.
G. e. N. Co., was leased to the Reading
or was In the great deal. It was leased
to them by the New Jersey Central,
which has been operating the L. g. s.
since 1886. 10 fact, the Philadelphia and
Reading, and the New Jersey Central
have been operating the l.. & s. under a
lease since 1871. There are many ru-
mors ahoat about the canal. All are
without the least foundation OF truth
The canal will continue TO do business as
usual, and under the same mana cement.
