The Philadelphia and Reading r. r.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 15.-The
U. S. Circuit Court was well filled with
6nanciers and attorneys this morning
when hearing was begun before Judge
Dallas upon the petition Of the receiv-
ers of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad for authority to enter into an
agreement to unite with a committee
to re-organize the property and also for
authority to pay the commissions con-
templated therein. Judge Dallas sug-
gested that the whole matter be re-
ferred at once to Geo. L. Crawford, spe-
cial master in the Reading receivership.
The judge took this step, primarily, so
that other proceedings of the Circuit
Court could go on. The master was
instructed to hear all arguments for
and against the plan for reorganization
and to report to the court as soon as
possible, The hearing began before
Mr.. Crawford at noon.

LYNCHED.-Oscar Morton, wealthy
and prominent citizen OF Stanton, KY,
was iynched on Saturday at Beattyville.
He went to Beattyville to attend the
fair and after drinking good deal of
whisky attacked William Simms, the
sheriff, against whom he had a grudge.
Both drew pistols. Simms was killed
and Morton was shot through the neck.
Two weeks ago Morton killed man at
Stanton, and on the way to the fair he
had attempted to kill the fireman of
the train because he refused to increase
the speed of the locomotive. a public
meeting was held in the square. Col.
John Drummond made a speech, in
which he said that the murderer must
be hanged, but that it must be done
quietly and in perfect order. The
crowd went to the Jail, overpowered
the warden and took the prisoner to
a bridge. A rope was placed around
the prisoners neck and he was told to
Jump or he would De riddled with bull
lets. He jumped and his neck was
broken. None of the lynchers made
any attempt to conceal their identity.

ONE OF the "circles" of the A. P. A.
in Chicago has named itself after the
infidel Tom Paine. Catholics, as well
as Professionals, believe in the founder
of the Christian religion. and surely
that religion, whether true or false, is
better than no religion at. though Paine
did not, and Ingersoll does not, think

sent from the A. P. A. in Washington
to make proselytes in Virginia. Yir-

dent' Debs and his chief assistant, MIR.
Howard, must be born 'hellions," for
it now appears that they had been and
are yet supplied with annual passes on
the railroads affected by the late rail-
road strike, and actually used them
while they were conducting that strike.
The reason they assign for having ask
ed for the passes is that unless they had
obtained them from the railroads, the
members of their union would have
been assessed to pay the price thereof.
But, as often said before, violent strikes
and common sense are incompatible.

AS GEN. ScHoFIELD, the commander
the U. S. army, will soon be retired, he
can not expect to be benefited by the
increase he recommends in the size
of the army, and must therefore be
credited with personally disinterested
motives in making that recommends
ton. But last summers experience
taught many other people besides Gen
eral Schofeld, that the observance OF
law and the preservation of order in
this country can no longer be enforced
by municipal or State authority, and
that as the national power must be
used for that purpose, resort to it be-
fore any damage has been done, will be
better for all parties concerned and for
the country at large.

The Plumber Growing Less

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-President
Weir, of Adams Express Co., said this
morning that the Virginia train robbers
did not get in all over $25, 900. He said
that the checks aud drafts which con-
stituted part of the booty, and which
can be replaced, may make the loss
even less than that.

BRUSSELS, Oct. 15.-Further returns
of the parliamentary elections show
that the liberals have been crushed be-

The Catholics have lost seven seats,
five of which were captured by the
liberals, and two by the socialists. AS

the San Diego Union. that the Southern
Pacific company has purchased q right
Of way through the SANTA Margsrita
ranch, paying the owner, Richard
O'Neill, $4,000 therefor. The people of
Escondido are therefore elsted, regard
ing the move as a sure indication that
the Southern Pacific will soon build
from Tnstin into this county. 1t is
hardly likely that the road will traverse
the entire width of the ranch, as the
only feasible route is along the coast,
where the line of the Southern Califor-
MIA now runs. The route understood to
have been chosen by the Southern Pacific
is through the back country, through
Fallbrook and other productive regions,
and in this case the right OF way would
be through only corner of the Santa
Margarila. The recent movements of

The Populists are understood to be peo-
pie that deepise usury. and who would
rather see the empyrean fall and be con-
ironted with the wreck of matter and the
crush of worlds than allow a banker to

this, and he know the poor woman. With

THERE are great many impatient
people who want newspaper to an
nounce at once that the ticket of their
leading opponent Is already knocked
out. The HERALD would far rather lead
it's readers to calm and dispassionate
estimate of what is ahead. Eatee was a
very weak nominee in 1882. That was
twelve years ago. The conditions are
essentially different. We think Demo.
Gratis will make very serious mistake
in assuming that the Republican nomi-
nee will be weak candidate now.
Should Estee prove strong DOW, just as
he proved weak in 1882, it would simply
be another verfcation of the old adage,
''the case being altered, that alters the
case" 1t is never good idea to live in
FOOLS paradise. To succeed the Demo-
cratic party must resort to every device
OF wisdom and energy available.
