NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Oficial announce
ment was made to-day that the controlling
interest in the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, recently acquired by ]. Pierpont
Morgan & Co., has been sold by the firm
to the Reading Railroad. Morgan & Co.
state that further details will not be made
public at this time. j. Rogers Maxwell
the president of the Jersey Central, is
quoted as saying that he understands the
minority shareholders will be offered the
same price for their shares as has been
offered to the majority stockholders.
The Commercial Advertiser says OF the
deal: '1t is understood the terms are that
the Reading shall guarantee at least per
cent dividend on the Jersey Central stock
1t is reported, also, that ]. Rogers Max
well, president of the New Jersey Central
would be president of the Reading. The
two roads have been working close to-
gether for a year, having a perfect agree
ment upon rates and the distribution of
traffic. The acquisition OF ownership by
the Reading in the Jersey Central will,
however. have some further advantages
For one thing, the Jersey Central can be
made to carry most of the coal. 1t is the
more natural route from the mines TO
tidewater, and the Reading has been grad
ually developing a large miscellaneous
traffic. Coal was once 65 per cent. of the
Readings business. Now its business has
developed along other lines, that only 40
per cent Of its general business is coal.
The miscellaneous traffic can be developed
still further. The combination will take
rank as one of the few very large ones
which have ever been attempted in this
country The size of the transaction is
best gauged from observing the figures
Of the Jersey Centraps bonded debt and
stock issue. It's total bonds are s47, ,192, 900
on which an annual interest OF s., 1861, ASS
is paid. In addition, Jersey Central guar
antees interest of 1852 on bonds of leased
lines, amounting to $40 256. .6s2. These leased
lines include the New York & Long Branch
Railroad, the Lehigh Valley & Hudson
Railroad and the Lehigh & Western Coal
Company. The total issue of Jersey Cen
trail stock is s27.11S. 7OO On this dividends
of per cent. were paid in 1892 1893 and 1894,

JOHN BARDsLEY DEAD.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 5. = John
Bardsley, formerly city treasurer of Phil
adelphia, is dead of heart disease at his
home here, after an illness of ten days.
AS city treasurer in 1890 John Bardsley
became involved by the failure of the Key
stone National and Spring Garden banks.
He was charged with embezzlement of
1899 900 of city and state funds. sentenced to
fifteen years Imprisonment and fined
s237, ,530 He was pardoned in 1896. Bardsley
attained distinction in Philadelphia poll
tics by his service as chairman of the
finance committee of Common Councils,
when he earned the title of Honest
John" When he became city treasurer the
Inflated Keystone Bank was tottering to its
fall, but Bardsley, depositing immense sums
in it, for which he crin1inally received the
interest, boistered it UP. The city at that
time could not legally benefit by money de-
posted in financial institutions, and it was
tacitly understood that the benefits were
perquisites of the city treasurer. The fail
ure of the keystone Bank and the flight of
Gideon w. Marsh, its president, precipitat-
ed the ruin of Bardsley and revealed the
rottenness which had been his official in
heritance The scandal had many ramifica-
tions, and the severe sentence which was
imposed upon the convicted felon was In a
measure brought upon himself by his re-
fusal to implicate those who also had
profited by his transactions. That they
were many was known by his check stubs,
for large amounts given to persons who
were designated by unintelligible catch
words. Bardsleys disgrace was complete.
When he pleaded guilty his picture, which
had hung in Independence Hall with those
of other men noted In the citys history,
was removed and banished to the store
room. His property was swept away, and
at frequent intervals in the earlier part
of his Imprisonment he suffered the shame
of being led from the penitentiary. in

the city to lawyers Office to give evil
dence in the untangling of the financial
knot of which he was the cause.

Played with old Time Ginger In the Field

Bobby Rothermel played one of his
old time games yesterday. His only
error cut no figure, while his snappy
work at second was responsible for
getting his team out of tight places
several times during the game when
it seemed as if the Bloomingtons
would score, and in one inning he re-
tired the entire side. With the stick he
was likewise there with the goods.
Out of five times at bat he flew out
once. made a 2 base hit and two
singles, and got his base on balls.
Reference to the tabulated score and
summary will satisfy the fsir-minded
as to what Bobby was doing while
the game was going on. He is trying
to do his best now and should be en-
couraged. With Mullaney back in

President Sexton has placed Nc

Sexton in discussing the matter,

One error that did not lose any
thing was made by Rebsamen in the
first inning when he dropped the bali
that should have put out Quigley,
the first man up. After that clean
ball playing was the rule, although
there were some narrow margins.
Jap Poor. who was with the team in
the first part of the season, played
right field to fill in. He had been re-
leased by Evansville TO whom he went
from the locals. Hughes was touched
for nothing better than a scratch q
base hit and Rothermel acquitted
himself brilliantly at second.
Rock Island earned two in the fourth
with the stick. Rothermel and Reb-
samen each put one where nobody
was and although Middleton flaw he
brought run. O'Brien fouled, but
Jimmy Hoy showed one out to left for

thing. Rothermel strolled and Rebsa-

Bloomington found a nest of nine

way, found a nest of very different
sort. Fairminded observers are of
the opinion that each discovered
about what was coming. There were

the visitors made their third out with

the run was cut of with q eorking
double play when two men were on
base. In five of the innings Bloom
ington's first man up saw first. A
double in Bloomington's half of the
seventh, after two men had hit, drew
the locals out of another bad hole.
Beedles was slaughtered for 10 safe
ones and therein lay the secret of
