purchased by the Morgan syndicate. Every
day for a week the Wall street ticker has
given some intimation Of approaching rail-
road deals. To-day. when Baltimore and
Ohio stocks rose until the common had
reached a higher point than ever before
known, the report was passed around that
IL had gone into new hands.
In respect to these reports VIM. Salo-
mon. chairman OF the Baltimore and Ohio's
Executive Committee said:
i did not know OF the sale OF the New
Jersey Central to the Reading until Satur-
day. II has not affected the stock Of our
road adversely. On the contrary, some one
seems to want TO buy Baltimore and Ohio.

REASONS WHY.
Some Members of c. & I. Opposed
 the Charity Hospital Resolution.

Some Members of c. & I. Opposed
 the Charity Hospital Resolution. Editor The, Advertiser:
 As one who did not favor the adop- ton of the resolution of the Commer- cial and Industrial Association endors- ing the movement to establish Ro- man Catholic hospital, want to state that my position Is based on these sew eral grounds: First, no proposition. defining the plans. purposes and policy of the hospital. had been presented by any one: second; not only did the lead CTS of the movement fail to make 1t clear that municipal aid would not be sought, but, on the contrary. the remarks of the champion on the floor of the meeting showed unmistakably that such aid would be accepted. and, perhaps, solicited; third, the city had already taken steps which promised to bear fruit in an adequate hospital ab- sslutely non n-sectarian in control ss well as in the. reception of patients; fourth, tho good women who had so faithfully maintained the inhrmary had requested . postponement for fur ther investigation. which was strenu- ously opposed and defeated by the friends of the resolution.
 Let those in authority, directly or through duly accredited representa- tives, make public the plans. purposes and policy of the proposed hospital, with assurances that municipal aid will not be accepted, either directly or indirectly, by contract for the care of the city's patients or by the absorption of the property rendered by the ladies to the city, and believe that not only will much of the opposition of laymen and clergy abate, but hearty support be given by those who now withhold it.
