An Irresistible Combination Effected
to Control the Worlds
Coal Business.
Tho Jersey Central and Lehigh
Valley Roads In With the
Reading.
The Psnnsylvania Coal Industry Under
One Managemsnt-Cievelan for a
Prcsidencv-Edisen Co,

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10.-It w0s announced
Tonight that arrangements, which for
somo time have been in progress designed
to place the coal producing and carrying
interests on more stable foundation. have
been completed. The primary object was
to secure more economical management in
tho coal trade by avoiding expensive selling
agencies, etc. The plan now formed by
President Mcleod embraces the most OK
tsnsive financial enterprise yet undertaken
in this country. Briefly outlined it means
that the Reading has acquired practical
control of the Lehigh Valley railway,
Central railway of New Jersey, and other
lines, and in addition to the Reading
terminal now constructing in Philadelphia,
will have the magnificent terminals Of the
Lehigh Valley and Jersey Central in New
York harbor. Through the Lohigh Valley,
now western extension, there will be pro-
vided direct route to the lakes at Buffalo,
with spacious terminals there. In the
carrying on of the coal trade tho saving in
commissions, agency expenses, etc., is ex-
pected to reach several millions of dollars
annually. When it is further known that
control of the Delaware, Laokawana &
Western has passed into hands friendly to
the Reading the investing public will recog-
nize that the new arrangements will tend
to secure harmony in the coal trade and
save Unnecessary expenses.
The Lshigh Valley is also paving the Erie
one and one-quarter million dollars annu-
ally for trackage. which amount will now
he not gain to the Lehigh Valley. In nd
dition to this vast amount Of traffic will
he thrown to it. This coup of President
McLsod's is considered one Of the greatest
in railroad fnanciering, and makes the
Reading as strong corporation US there ia
in the world. The plan is approved by
Messrs. Drexel, Weloh and others.

a MADRID. Feb. 10..-The four leaders Of the
anarchists who led the recent attack upon
the town Of Xeres, were Qarroted to-day.
The men were executed surrounded by de-
tachments Of infantry and cavalry and the
route from the Jail to the platform was
lined with soldiers with loaded rifles. The
executions we're public and the plaza and
streets leading to it were packed with a
dense mass Of people. The names Of the
four men executed were Busigni, Zarza-
tolla, Lamala and Lebrijano. When the
prisoners mounted the scaffold they we're
ACCOMPANIED by the four executioners,
and by the priests and monks. Zarzatella
was greatly excited and his demeanor
showed that he was terribly frightened, but
the other three oulprits were calm and re-
signed. The condemned men were led to
the chairs in which the exeoutioners SO
curely bound thom. The metal collars
were then placed about their neoks. Then
each of the exeoutioners took his petition
back of the posts and grasped the powerful
leverage operating the garrote. At given
signal eaoh executioner gave sharp turn
to the lever and each of the condemned
men died instantly. After the executions,
though the spectators. many of whom were
friends of the mon executed, were bitter in
denuncintion OF the authorities, there was
no sign of any disturbance and everything
in the town was tranquil.

indiscriminately. No one was hurt, and
the Indians, apparently satisfied with hav-
ing scared the people, rode away. Harry
Cody at once mounted pony and rode
sixteen miles to Coolidge for assistance.
Fifteen armed cowboys immediately
left for the ranch, which is sixteen
miles distant, arriving at nine r. M,
but all was quiet. The cowboys remained
at the ranch until noon to-day. but could
