with his rich. black beard which fell TO
the second button of his shirt waist and
his bronzed and furrowed face. But
the interest was due to the two things
he had with him. The one, a gold
headed cane of the finest kind, in strik =
ing contrast to his appearance; the
other large bundle wrapped around
with a linen cloth. the corners of
which were knotted together The bot
tom of the bundle was stained with
blood and that circumstance, in con-
junction with the cane, gave rise to all
sorts of ideas in the minds of the pas .

The incorrigible Steve West was
picked up on the street in a drunken
condition night. before last. A war
rant will probably be sworn out
against him for the non-support of his
family and an effort will be made to

fine of $5 and costs to Lukins. He was
charged with using obscene and pro-

GBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
Philadelphia, June 25-For long time the
future of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company

Lehigh Valley Railroad Company have been
purchased by a number OF railroads whose lines
are connected in close relation with he Le-
high Valley property. Among these purchasers
are the Philadelphia and Reading the Erie. the
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western. the Cen
trail Railroad of New-Jersey and the Delaware
and Hudson. All these companies have bought
certain amount of the shares Of the Lehigh

The Packer estate which for many years
trolled the Lehigh Valley, and at one time owned
outright 10000 shares, has sold 10 the parties
named, through bankers. the whole Of their
holdings. A step in the direction OF a more
formal adoption of a permanent policy in ref
erence TO the future Of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road has just been taken in the election Of f.
