PENNSY GETS READING.
The New York Central is
Said to Father the
Deal.

PHILADELPHIA, June 9. 1900-The
Philadelphia and Reading Railway is
about to pass under Pennsylvania con-
troll. AS the third of the parallel sys-
TENS, covering the anthracite coal coun-
ties of Schuylkill, Northumberland, Luz
zerne, Carbon and Lackawanna centres,
the Lehigh Valley and Central Railroad
of New Jersey, comprising the other two,
the Reading has been most inviting terri
tory The New York Central is the father
of the deal.
At the conference last November be-
tween President Galloway, of the New
York Central and President A. j. Cas-
satt. of the Pennsylvania, it was agreed
to partition. off the hard and soft coal
territory. Since then Pennsylvania has
acquired the West Virginia fields in adj
dition TO the holdings in the Youghio-
gheny region in this State. Baltimore and
Ohio, Chesapeake and Ohio, and Norfolk
and Western have come under Pennsyl-
vania control.
The great lake trade has been secured
by the requirement of the Erie and West
ern Transportation Company's fleet of
seventeen steamers, known as the Anchor
Line, and the Western New York and
Pennsylvania completes the link TO the
lakes.
Pennsylvania secures practical control
of the Reading through the New York
Central, and the New York Central acts
entirely on the holdings of J. Pierpont
Morgan and w. K. Vanderbilt. Morgan
has a hold on the Reading in a five years
agreement under the late receiversnip to
handle its stock and care for its fiduciary
interests. Under this agreement nIr. Nor
gan has had certain advantages and has
acquired a majority of its stock.
1t was under Mr.. Morgan's direction,
so it is stated, that the recent dividend
was declared, the first dividend on Read
ing stock of any kind since 1874. What
the object of the declaration was is not
yet apparent, but it is alleged to be part
of the Morgan scheme of absorption OF
the three parallel lines into the Pennsyl-
vania anthracite coal fields.
The Lehigh Valley has been acquired in
dependent of the new Constitution of the
State, which directly forbids the absorp-
ton of parallel lines. The movement is
entirely New York Central, and was made
by the New York Central management.

THE LONGEST AND SHORTEST
SERMON.

The longest ermon on record was
preached by Rev. Isaac Barrow, q
Puritan preacher of the seventeenth
century, who once delivered a sermon
in Westminster Abbey lasting three
hours and half; and the shortest SER
mon ever preached was perhaps the
sermon which Or. Wnewell was fond
Of repeating from the text, "Man is
born unto trouble as the sparks fly up
words" The sermon occupied barely
aminute in delivery. Tue following Is
verbatim report:
Il shall divide the discourse into
three heads; () Mans ingress into
the world, ~ bis progress through the
world; (3) his egress out Of the world.
Firstly, his ingress into the world
is naked and bare.
SECONDLY, his progress through the
Work Is IrOnDIe and care.
Thirdly, his egress oat Of the world
is nobody knows whore.
"To conclude:
If we live well here, We will live well
there.
II can tell you no mere if preach o
year"
Then be 4 ave the bsnsdiction.
This sermon, however, is not az short
as the famous charity sermon Of Dean
Smith. His text was:
"He that hath pity upon the poor,
lendeth unto the Lord; and thst which
ne hath given, he will pay him again.
His sermon was:
eff you are satisfied with the 10.
curity, down with the dust. "-B .ltimore
