DreNeI ~ Co. Purchase Packer and
University Holdings.

Philadelphia, Jan. G.-Following the
announcement that controlling interest
Of the Jersey Central has been secured
for the Reading company comes the an
nouncement that Drexel q Co. have pur-
chased the remaining 10000 shares of Le-
high Valley stock belonging to the estate
of the late Asa Packer and also the hold
ings of the Lehigh university OF the stock
Of that company. Official confirmation Of
these purchases was made by T.. I. Stote-
bury. member of the DreXel firm.
Three years ago the company author
lied the issue Of $15,000,0O0 mortgage
and collateral trust gold bonds, paying
not less than 3 per cent. Drexel Il Co
financed the issue of $5,000,O00 of these
bonds and secured mt the same time an
option upon onc-half the holdings of Lee
high Valley stock, which amounted to
100000 at S2T.50 per share, the stock
then selling around so. That option was
! exercised by the DreXelS some six months
ago. With the purchase just announced
The firm Is now in possession of the entire
Packer holdings, which. with those of the
Lehigh university and that purchased in
the open market, places the Morgan in-
te|sts in undisputcd possession Of the
Ichigh Valley.
This completes the great deal which
has brought into the possession of the
Morgan Vanderbilt interests the three
largest of the anthracite carrying roads-

JERSEY CENTRAL SOLD
Reading Road Effects the Deal Through
J. P. Morgan g. Go.
PRICE NOT MADE KNOWN.
CuImination of the Vast Deals to
Control the Anthracite Coal
TrafIic--Came as n Sur
prise to Wall street.

New York, Jan. 6.--Wall street was
treated to surprise Saturday when
just about noon the official announcement
was quietly made that the control Of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey had
passed to the Reading company through
the efforts of ]. l.. Morgan u Go. Mr..
Morgan's firm, it was announced, had
secured control of the Jersey Central,
had offered the same to the Reading
company, and the latter company had
accepted the offer. The terms of the
purchase We're not made public and will
not be given out until all the details are
arranged for.
Although the announcement came
somewhat unexpectedly, rumors about
a probable change in the control of the
Jersey Central have been current for
many months. The Pennsylvania rail
TOAD and the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
| road We're ut various times reported as
having acquired OF being in negotiations
for the acquisition of the Jersey road.
AT one time, indeed it was reported that
the Reading company would secure con-
troll, but all these stories were consecu-
lively denied or discredited by the va
rious interests. Recently rumor had
| neglected the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, as its attention was diverted to
other consolidation schemes, and al
though the stock OH Friday was very
| strong it was not then suspected by out
| siders that the Morgan plans We're as far
matured as they were.
Owned by Few Men.
| The controlling interest in Jersey Cen
| tral has been held by small coterie Of
men generally referred to in Wall street
as ''the First National bank crowd" and
| this coterie consisted Of such men as
George f. Baker, president of that bank;
| Henry G. Fahnestock, Charles Lanier, j.
Rogers Maxwell, president Of the Jersey
| Central; Henry w. Maxwell and others,
all of those NAMED being directors of the
Jersey Central. 1t was generally accepted
as IL fact that the stock of this coicrie,
constituting the control of the railroad
was for sale, provided they could get Il
sufficiently high price for it. This price
was variously stated at figures ranging
from $3.50 to $500 share. The latter
figure was the correct one. 1t is not
| however, believed that the coteric sue.
cccded in getting this price from Mr.
Morgan. and in financial and railroad cir.
cies figure in the neighborhood of Ia
Mas guessed At as the probable purchase
4 price. However this may be, j. l.. Nor
gan u Go. yesterday admitted that til,
minority stockholders would lie Offered
The same terms as those made with til,
majority interests.
The Jersey Central and the Reading
company are two Of the great anthracite
coal roads. During the year 1899 these
two roads carried 15,076,O53 tons, ol
about onr-thiid Of the total anthracite
output which was Al ,665, ,2O3 tons.

Crime and Criminals,

Crimes and criminals are decreasing
in number. The judicial statistics af-
ford indisputable proof of it. But it is
no less a fact, although most people
ignore it, that while crime in general
is diminishing, professional crime is
on the increase. The professional Grim
inal is developing and becoming a seri-
Gus public danger. But in this matter
of crime neither science nor common
sense is allowed a hearing. When,
after repeated warnings, a man has
proved himself to be a moral leper, an
outlaw, a criminal in character and
habitual practice, to set him at liberty
is quite as stupid and as wicked as it
would be to allow a smallpox patient
to go at large in the community.
A single prison would suffice to bold
the entire gang of known criminals
who now keep the community in q
state of siege, and a single wing Of
any one Of our goals would more than
suffice to provide for the band of out
laws who may be described as the
aristocracy Of crime in England. But
while we are ready to sacrifice any
number Of valuable lives on the battle
field to attain results that are often
doubtful and sometimes worthless, the
inalienable right OF these hunan
beasts Of prey, not only to life, but to
liberty, Is maintained with all the
blind fervor Of religious superstition.
If some small share of the labor and
cost successfully expended upon keep
ing cholera and the plague from our
shores, or even in stamping out rabies
among dogs, were diverted in this di.
rection, organized crime might be
abolished in a single decade.-Asslst.
