READING GOES TO PIECES.
A Receiver Appointed on Motion of Hon
 1T. c. Platt.

T. c. Platt.
 PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2l.-The affairs of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad company were brought into court late yes terday afternoon. All day there were ru- mors on the street that receivers were to be appointed. The offices of the United States circuit court were constantly besieged by newspaper men and parties interested in Reading matters who were eager to obtain the latest news.
 The proceeding was brought by ex-Sen- ator Thomas c. Platt of New York, a holder of third preference bonds, against the Phil adelphia and Reading Railroad company, the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company and the Pennsylvania Com pany for Assurances on Lives and Granting Annuities. The receivers appointed are Archibald A. Mcleod, president of the company; Chief Justice Edward M. Pax son of the supreme court and Elisha F. Wilbur, ex-president of the Lehigh Valley Railroad company. Justice Paxson at once sent his resignation as chief justice of the supreme court of Pennsylvania to Gov ernor Pattison.
 The Readings pay cars, which were called back on Friday before their contents had been distributed, were not sent out to- day. The rise and fall of one of the most extensive and ambitious railroad combina- tions ever attempted are embraced in the comparatively brief period of one year and a fortnight. It was just year ago this month that the formation of the great Reading-Jersey Central-Lehigh Valley al- liance was publicly announced. Railroad men and Wall street financiers were sur prised and impressed by the magnitude of the combination. In mileage it was the largest railroad system in the east, and its ownership of coal mines made it apparent ly the arbitrator of the coal markets of the country. The hand of J. Pierpont Morgan was frankly disclosed in the new combina- tion, and the prestige of his name added much to the public confidence in the sta bility of the scheme. Never did so great an enterprise start out under more favora- ble conditions.
