More Rumors Concerning the Penn
sy{vanfa and the b. & o.

NEW YORK, June THE World to-
morrow will say: 1.-THE report was renewed
yesterday in Wall street that the Pennsyl-
vania and the Baltimore & Ohio are nego-
tiating for the lease or the control of both
the Reading and the Jersey Central rail-
ways. While the officials of the three COM
panies decline to confirm the story, it is
generally believed. The Baltimore & Ohio
is very closely allied now with the Penn
sylvania, and the opposition which the lat
ter system has always offered to every at
tempt of the Baltimore & Ohio to acquire
convenient passenger terminals in New
York harbor has been withdrawn. The plan
is for the division of the two railroads be-
tween the Baltimore & Ohio and the Penn
sylvania systems. The Baltimore & Ohio
will be given control of the double-track
line between Philadelphia and Bound
Brook. N. J., on the Reading system. and
also that part of the Jersey Central which
runs from Bound Brook to Communipaw.
including the Broad-street depot in Phil
adelphia and the Jersey Central depot in

GEORGE CLAMP1TT's CONDITION.


Bicycle Police Bray and Losh were called
late last night to sos South Pennsylvania
street. where 1t was reported man was
beating his wife When they got TO the
house they found Mrs. George Clampitt
with about half her clothing torn off and
otherwise showing the effects of an as
sault. Her husband was not to be found
in the house after the police had searched
every room. Then they went to the back
yard and found Clampitt on his knees near
the fence supporting himself with one hand
on the ground and the other against the
fence. They thought at first they had an
insane man to deal with. but as soon as
they got hold of him IL was discovered he
was limp and evidently suffering from
something he had taken. He was unconsci-
Gus. He was sent to the City Dispensary,
where DR.. Virgins worked with him for
some time.
At the house the police were told that
Clampitt had frequently of late caused
trouble, often become violent His condi-
ton last night was due to an overdose of
liniment, made up principally of oil OF
JOY. which he had taken for stomach trou-
BILE. The assault upon his wife was before
he took the liniment, and his actions, IL
was thought, were the result of suffering
from his complaint.

day with William j. Eberle, OF Allegheny
Pa. as chairman. One of the most impor-
tapt actions of the convention was taken
tonight. when resolution offered by Dam
iel De Leon. editor of the People. the So
vote of So TO 4. The resolution says that
every member of the Socialist Labor party
who is officer in pure and simple Brit
ish style trade union shall either resign his
Office in the union or be expelled from the
Socialist Labor party. The pure and
simple union was described as one in
which no politics is allowed. and these, il
was declared. are dominated by the CAPT.
talistic class. The one condition on which
labor unions will be recognized by the party
is that they affiliate with the Socialist La
Dor party by joining the Socialist labor and
trade alliances. This means war to the
knife between the Socialist new trades
unions and the old style pure and simple
unions" exclaimed one delegate with ref
erence to the resolution which was adopted.
