READING ROAD TO BE SOLD.
Judge AchesOn Refuses to EnjOin 1t
EOreclOxure

Judge Acheson Refuses to Enjoin Its
Foreclosure.
PHILADELPHIA, September 21-In the
United States circuit court today Judge
Acheson rendered an opinion refusing to
grant the motion asked for by w. w.
Kurtz and other bondhclders of the Phila-
delphia and Reading Railroad Company to
enjoin the managers of the company from
executing the decree of the foreclosure
sale Of the Philadelphia and Reading rail-
road property. The complainant is the
holder of ten first mortgage bonds of the
Philadelphia, Reading and New England
Company, guaranteed by the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad Company and
sought to prevent the foreclosure sale be-
cause of the belief tnat he will lose his
property If the road is sold. Judge Acne
son states that notwithstanding that the
sale has been advertised for several weeks
the bill was not filed until September H.
less than two weeks before the day of sale
The judge says:
with respect to the objections now made
to the terms of the decree of sale l am
not convinced that any one of them is
well founded. AT any rate, the complainant
is in position to raise these objections
at this late day.
NO valid objection is perceived to the
manner in which the trustees and the re-
ceivers propose to sell the property and as
sets Of the companies.
II am of the opinion that no good reason
appears for staying the sale, and the mo-
ton of the complainant that the defendants
be enjOned from executing the decree of
sale and that the sale be stayed is denied +"
A like motion instituted by Samuel d.
Rhodesa, smother bondholder, was similarly
disposed of.

PREDICTED THE STORM
The Weather Bureau Warned the Democratic
Managers.
The Cool Weather and How Long II
Will Last-Summer Has Prob
ably Gone for Good.

The season of straw hats has passed, and,
Judging by the temperature today, fall has
made it's appearance in earnest. A few
shirt-waists and alpaca coats were to be
seen on the streets, 1t is true, but their
wearers looked rather uncomfortable. and
when they come to dress for dinner the
chances are they will put on heavier cloth
ing.
Summer went out like lion, and if Sat-
urday was really the last day of summer,
it was a day that will not be soon forgot
ten. 1t started out with the thermometer
at 76. and during the afternoon a maxi
mum Of "a was reached. Then came the
storm. Down went the mercury as If it
were on toboggan slide, and cooler
weather came on the wings of the wind.
Through the north and west there has been
considerable frost, but in every timely
warning was sent out by the weather
bureau, and the damage was thus mini
IniZed as compared with what 1t would 9th
erW.Se have been.
So far Washington has not been visited
by frost, but at an early hour this morn
ing the official thermometer at the weather
bureau went down to 46, total fall Of 4S
degrees since the intense heat of Saturday.
'The officials at the weather bureau are feel
ing very well satisfied with the accuracy
with which they predicted the drop In tenn
perature here and elsewhere. Saturday,
hours before the time set for Mr.. Bryan's
speech, Professor HaZen sent a special bull
letn to the democratic managers in charge
of the affair. advising them that a severe
storm might be expected at o'clock. or
little later. At o'clock there seemed little
chance of the prediction being fulfilled, and
it seemed as though Mr. Bryan would not
have to battle with the elements. 1t took
but few minutes, however, for the storm
to gather, and when it came, it proved to
be storm of the first magnitude, as those
who were caught in 1t can testify.
Washington did not catch the worst of
the drop in temperature, for a slight frost
has been reported from Philadelphia, and
the grape-growng section Of New York
suffered touch of the blight. which has
probably done a good deal of damage to
the vines. At Winnipeg-well, Winnipeg
| always does try to beat the record for cold
weather, and at an early hour this morning
the mercury went down to 20. the coolest
reported from anywhere this season.
A Star reporter who called at the weather
bureau late this afternoon was told that
the conditions are rather favorable for
slight rise in temperature, but not such as
would constitute a return of summer. To-
morrow will be warmer than today has
| been, but the maximum may not be reached
before Wednesday. Thursday will be cooler
again, for there Is a cold wave chasing
| hard on the heels Of the warm one, and
drop of ten degrees in the far northwest
during the past twenty-four hours is ex-
pected to make itself felt in this neighbor-
| fair weather is promised for tomorrow, but
| this afternoon there was a possibility of
| the wind veerng from south to east, which
would increase the likelihood of rain,

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Causes the Arrest of Mr.. Alfred Henry
Lewis.
Charges Criminal Libel i'm New
York PublfcatiOn-Mr. Lewis
Released ON bail.

Prince Augustin de Yturb.de, who has
figured in the courts to a considerable ex
tent of late, has once more come to the
front. This time Prince Yturbide figures as
complainant in a warrant charging Mr..
Alfred Henry Lewis, the well-known jour
nalst, with criminal libel.
The alleged libel was published in the
New York Journal under date Of Washing
ton. August % 1t was as follows:
'If the latest rumor is to be believed.
Prince Augustn Yturbide is by no means
a hero to his valet. According to this ru-
NOR the latter, a stout, good-looking young
Irishman, named Thomas Carney, today
bumped the princes imperial head against
the floor ct the princes rooms, No. lois
18th street, the cause, 1t is alleged, being a
paltry few hundred dollars back wages.
"Yturbide would have got off more easily
had he not tried, it is stated, to punch Car
ney's nose when he mentioned the matter
of wages. But he did, ard Carney, SO the
story goes, hiplocked the prince, threw him
and then beat a tattoo on the floor with the
princes head, until the prince yelled
Ell ough! Now the valet spreads the story
tnat he is going to sue the prince, ard
promises to tell a lot of interesting things
ii Yturbide does not pay.
prince Yturbide is getting to be PAIN
full subject in Washington society. There
is more than a whisper among the clubltes
that he had been sent tc Coventry by the
Army and Navy Club and 10y the Metro
poltan Club for inattention to the pay
ment of dues. Last year he became in
volved in quarrel with Colonel Robert
Neville at the Metropolitan Club over his
prowess as a horseman. YtCrbde Claimed
that he could do certain feats which
Neville calmly told him were impossible.
A duel was threatened, but anxious friends
were never able to get the parties into the
field.
Later Yturbide was mentioned in con-
nection with a lot of scurrilous letters
which had been sent to Mrs. S. S. Howland.
Mrs. Senator Wolcott and Mrs. Henry May.
When called to account. Yturbide. it is said,
promptly declared that they were written
by Miss May Williams, an estimable young
lady of good family, whose engagement
with him had but recently been broken off,
but Washington society took Miss Will
liams' side of the controversy with start
ling unanimty.
Mr.. Lewis visited the Police Court ard
gave bonds in the sum of 500 to secure his
presence when Eeeded. Mr.. Beriah VIII
kins was the bondsman. No date has been
fixed for a hearing of the case.
An amusing feature of the is the
record of the arrest of Mr.. Lewis at police
headquarters. He was first asked his oc.
cGpation, and the answer was Journalist.
The next question was, Can you read and
Hrite?" The latter interrogatory seemed
superfiuous. but Mr.. Lewis answered in the
affirmative,

Statements About the Pacific Coast.
Vice Chairman Stevens of the silver
party was at silver headquarters today, af-
ter an extended absence. He will stay
here only a few days, and will leave for
Chicago, where he will be the most of the
time until the election. Mr.. Stevens as
serts that the fight is in the middle west,
and believes he can do more from Chicago
than from this end Of the line.
Mr.. Stevens received a number of visit
ors this morning. He conferred with Sem
ator Tillman and the democratic managers
about the dates for speeches of the Caro-
linian. The Senator will speak in Phila-
delphia tonight, and will conclude his en-
gagements in the state tomorrow. He is
booked to speak at Kingston, n. c., on the
9th. There is desire to have him in New
Jersey, and he may go there.
Mr.. Stevens declared that the interview
of Vice Chairman Apsley of the republican
congressional committee about the Pacific
coast states being for Mckinley was ''ab-
surdly ridiculous" He also laughed at the
statements about Colorado having much
Mckinley sentiment in it. About 1T5@o
votes will be cast in Colorado said Mr..
Stevens. Bryan will get 100000 and Nc
Kinley will get about 25,Wn. This will
give Bryan 125,000 majority in the state,
and he will get every bit that much.
There is the utmost harmony in the state
as to the ticket of electors. All four par
ties are supporting the same ticket CT
electors, and have fused on the same men
for Congressman. There are two state
tickets in the field, but this will not affect
the national ticket. 1t will aid it by bring
ing out full vote. AS to the other west
ern states 1 will say that there is not a
state west of the Missouri river that is
doubtful. California will give Bryan from
10000 to ia.0W majority. Washington will
give him 10000 and Oregon will go for him
by from 10000 to 10000 Absolutely nc
headway is being made against silver any
where, and no headway can be made
against it."

MIR. DRYAN'S PLANS.
VIII Put in His Time Next Month in
the Middle West.

1t is said on good authority that after
he fills his dates in the east, Mr.. Bryan
will spend the remainder of his time speak
ing in what is regarded as the close states
of the middle west. He will put practically
all of the month of October in at this.
The speech-making in the east is, 1t is
understood, entirely at the wish of Mr..
Bryan himself. He believes 1t will do good.
Whether he thinks it will do good in the
east is not known. He knows that his
speeches are published verbatim, and he
may think that what he says I'm the east
will be more widely read in the west. In
other words the eastern speeches are in
tended for western and southern consump-
ton.
1t is limited that Mr.. Bryan might have
abandoned his trip to Maine and Massa-
chusetts had not Sewall and George Fred
Williams insisted on his going there. They
insisted so strongly that he could not re-
fuse,
