existed between the Reading and Lehigh
Valley since February, 1892, on the ground
that the former company owed the Lehigh
Valley Company a considerable sum of money
on account of the lease, which it was impossi-
BILE to collect
The money due the Lehigh Valley is said
to be for material bills and other current ex-
penses, which should have been paid promptly.
The Reading Board of Managers accepted
the proposition of the Board of Lehigh Valley
without dissent and the matter was brought
before Judge Dallas, of the United States
court who came to this city for the purpose
of hearing the case. As there was no opposi,
ton, he made the necessary order, which ter.
inmates the contract between the two com
panies. This order also breaks all contracts
between the Lehigh Valley Coal Company
and the Reading Coal & Iron Company.
Early in the day Mr.. Wilbur resigned his
position as receiver of the Reading Company
and during the afternoon Judge Dallas ap-
pointed John Lowber Welsh to fill the
vacancy
The breaking away of the Lehigh Valley
practically ends the great Reading combina.
tiOn. 1t leaves the Lehigh Valley as it was
previous to the combine, or nearly So There
was some talk on the street to-day of ha wing
receiver appointed, but the officials of the
company deny that there is the slightest
possibility of such action being taken. The
work of possession oftheir property will begin
at once by the Lehigh management, and the
Reading will turn over and account for all
the property of that company just as speedily
as possible.
1t is also rumored that the Pennsylvania
Railroad company will become the possessor
of the Lehigh Valley, thus giving them
shorter haul to New York. This report bears
some credulence, from the fact that the Penn
sylvania Company was understood to be
diekering with the Lehigh Valley previous to
the great scoop made by Mr.. Mcleod.
The following circular signed by Cha rles
HartshOrn, vice president of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company, and Joseph S.
Harris president of the Philadelphia & Read
ing Railroad Company, was issued last
night
''The lease of The Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company 20 the Philadelphia * Reading
Railroad Company having this day been
terminated rs OF August l. 1898, the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company this day resumes
possession and operation of its lines. Ali
officers, agents and employees now engaged
on the Lehigh Valley Railroad system, will
remain in their present positions until other
wise ordered, and will receive their COM
pensation from the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company for services performed after August
l, 1898"

THE LOCAL SENTIMENT.
The Annulment May Precipitate Disastrous
Coal Trade Effects

The Annulment May Precipitate Disastrous
Coal Trade Effects,
So far as the railway people are concerned
the snnulment of the p & r Compapv,s
lease OF the Lehigh Valley Railroad seems to
give general satisfaction, and the minor
employees of both roads do not hesitate to
express an opinion favorable to it.
But there are some people who look upon
the split as a forerunnvr of evil to the coal
industry. Should the annulment of the lease
lead to breaking up of the coal combine il is
feared that those depending upon the mining
interests will suffer by big drop in the basis.
Under the Reading lease that company sold
all the coal mined by the Lehigh Valley and
individual oollieries, and now that the Lebieh
and individuals must again seek its own mar
ket there must necessarily be competition.
and drop in coal prices will naturally follow.
One gentleman Of town said to-day that the
only thing that worried him in connection
with the change was fear that there NAV be
a receivership OF the Lehigh Valley Company.
preliminary TO general reorganization for
business on the old standard.
All the railway employees are delighted over
the annulment because they take the view
that more men are required to operate the
two roads separately than were required un.
der the combined system.

tickets are in the field, one is known as the
Ring or Bosse; tick ct the other as the PEOPLES

cate, is the most popular, and as they are Rd
vocating several popular reforms and their
nominees are men Of excellent standing, both
in and ou. of the order they will probably be
elected by handsome majority.
One of the important features of the meet
ing will be the election of National repr, sent
atives. There are large number of candi-
dates.

AGAIN ON GUARD. :

For second time in almost third of
century the Democratic party has se-
cured c,ntrol OF the national govern
aaent, and on each Of these occasions
Grover Cleveland has been elected to the
Presidency. The conditions for con
tinued supremacy in ths nation were
never as bright for the Democratic party
as they are at present. Cleveland comes
back stronger than ever ia the admira-
tion and confidence of the people Of the
nation at large. There is no longer any
attempt, even among his most bitter po-
htical opponents, to decry or depreciate
him. All that has passed, and in It's
stead he has come to be- almost univer--
sally recognized as the maker Of his own
fortunes and the carver of his own des-
tiny. There is no one but who will adj
NIT now that what be has ,hieved has
been due to no caprice OF fortune, but to
the clearness of his common sense and
strength Of character. His inauguration
voiced the welcoms with which the ma
tion greets his return to Washington.
The country once more feels that it has
chosen for it's chief executive q man upon
whose good sense and public virtue it
can implicitly rely. Ia every section it
reioices TO see such aiman once more at
