able effect on the present traffic arrange
ment between that road and the Lehigh
Valley of his election to the presidency
OF the latter company, he said there
would be none whatever, at least none
that would be detrimental to the Lehigh
Valley.
What the policy of the rcorganzed
management will be has not yet been
announced, but it is very probable that
the first important step taken will be to
cut down operating expenses and bring
them somewhat near Il level with those
of other prominent Eastern roads. For
several years past the operating expenses
have amounted ito nearly II per cent of
the gross earnings. Well posted rail
road men say that in view of the excel
lent physical condition of the road this
could be cut down at least 10 per cent
This would bring it down to about the
basis upon which the Reading was
operated last year.
Mr.. Walter, the newly-elected presi-
dent, declined to be interviewed on his
future policy, and Immediately after the
adjournment of the board of directors
left for Drifton.

SEVEN THOUGHTS.

All simple people are not great, but
all great people are simple.
There is too much dialogue on most of
the pages of this life.
He who does not look before, will
generally be found behind.
It's pretty hard to admire man who
has succeeded where we have failed
You can make lots of headway some
times by admitting you are wrong,
when you are not.
Whenever you begin to suspect fault
in yourself, you may feel assured that it
is obvious to the rest of the world
There is nothing makes a person an
grier than to know they have made a
fool of theirself after having had their
own way about a thing.-N. Y. Weekly.

Judge Woodward handed down an
opinion on Friday dissolving an injunc-
lion against the school directors of Marcy
township. The directors had let q CON
tract for the construction of six-room
school building, together with heating
apparatus, etc, aggregating in total cost
al out Sl5,0 900. The citizens alleged that
this indebtedness, together with what
had already been contracted would carry
the district in debt more than the conSti-
tutional limit of 2 per cent. Hence the
bill was filed and an injunction granted
restraining the directors from further
proceeding with the work The Judge,
in his opinion, sets out that school drec-
tors have very large discretionary powers
and that the court did not feel disposed
to interfere with them in the exercise of
their discretion. He further found the
testimony did not warrant the bri nging
of the bill and hence it was dismissed.

Miss Nellie Mclean, of Greenfield, il

1t is reported that Elder Grayson, of
the Wesleyan Church, colored, has
abandoned his sheep to the wolves.
Some how the Elder, being fine look.
ing young bachelor, became very popu.
lar with the young ladies of the Church.
Had he been discreet in his apportion.
ment of spiritual comfort among them,
he might have Jared better. But he
seemed to be more deeply concerned for
the souls OF one or Two of the fair sisters
than for others. The consequence was
that while he guarded the hearts of these
the devil got into the others, and he
suddenly became conscious that "hell
moved beneath his feet TO meet him at
his coming" Finding Hillsboro SO close
to sheol, he is said to have skipped to
Indiana, which is undoubtedly Buehla's
border land. There are several here
who would be glad to have his number,
which they think is on the shady side of
Easy Street.
