IN REGARD TO THE SAlJE-NO |

The Reading Company, the purchas r
of the Wilmington and Northern Rail-

which organized to control the Phila-
de.phia and Reading railroad after the
foreclosure of the general mortgage,
and also of the Philadelphiaan andReading
Coal and Iron Company. It has made
the following statement in regard to
the purchase OF the local railroad
The conflicting rumors relative 10 the
purchase of a majority Of the stock OF
the Wilmington and Northern railroad
were set at rest this afternoon. It
turns out that the Reading company is
the purchaser. The Wilmington and
Northern was originally the Whining
ton and R,ading railroad. After the
foreclosure Of the Wilmington and
Reading mortgage, and also OF the
mortgage OF the Berks county railroad,
(Which was a company organized in
the interest Of the Wilmington and
Reading railroad), the Wilmington and
Northern was organized, and a traffic
arrangement entered into between the
old Philadelphia and Reading railroad
and the Wilmington and Northern, un-
der which they practically became parts
OF the same system. The Wilmington
and Northern used the tracks OF the
Reading in and through the city OF
Reading. The actual terminus OF tho
Wilmington and Northern is at Highs
Cut, several miles below Reading. No
material change. therefore, is made in
the railroad situation; but by the ac-
quisition Of this property the Reading
obtains freer and fuller control OF the
line. and will be enabled to operate II
to greater advantage in connection with
its own system, and, no doubt, give
greater facilities to the business inter.
ests along its lines. The Wilmington
| and Northern railroad has valuable ter.
mlnals in the city Of Wilmington, in
Guiding wharves on the Delaware. AL
these terminals will be very adyanfa
geaus 10 the Reading system. IL II
, stated that for the present no chang'
will be made in the officers or EN-
D ployes.

GROSS FRAUD ALLEGED
Many Regard Themselves as

MATTER TO END IN OHAEOBRY

MANY PhOPERI1 OWNERS GAVE
NOTES WITH WAIVERS or EX-
EMPTION, THINKING THAT THEY
WERE GIVING RECoNlMENDA-
TIONS.
Between forty and fifty property
owners in this city, most of them re-
siding in the Highlands, regard them
selves as the victims of a clever swim
ding game, and are up in arms ready
70 fight to the bitter end before paying
money which they feel that they have
no right to pay.
Some time ago agents of a corpora
ton known as the Lightning Rod Com
pany came here and began equipping
houses with lightning rods. Victims
claim that the representation was that
the rods were to be put up merely tor
advertising purposes and that there
would be no charge. Most persons are
glad to get something for nothing, and
those living in the Highlands are no
exception. After the rods were up they
signed what they believed to be certi-
ficates that the work had been salts
factorily done. In reality, it is said
they were notes confess!ng Judgment
for three or four times the ordinary
charges for putting up rods, with &
waiver Of any and all benefit of the ex
emption laws of the state.
Among those thus victimized wer'

Hc Saw Our CROPS.

iankton Herald: E, j. Wentzy, repre-
senting the Big 4 Mills of Sheldon, Iowa,
was in town a couple Of days this week
and in a conversation had with him de-
clared that he had visited every part OF
the state within the past ten days. He
SAYS that from Mitchell north to Aber.
deem hessrops have been quite badly in
jured by the recent hot and dry weather,
but the best wheat he has seen this year,
in fact some of the best he ever saw, was
west from Mitchell in Aurora and Drule
counties. But he says the yield of wheat
this year has been largely overestimated.
The corn all over the south half of the
state is in prime condition and will,
with no future drawbacks, be the best
ever gathered.
