JinuIe of the Bells.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Powell, who were
married at Scranton on Saturday, have
taken up their residence at Upper Lee
high. Upon their arrival here on the
$50 Lehigh Valley train yesterday
morning they were met at the station
by handsome carriage and spanking
team to convey them to their home.
The carriage and horses were decorat-
ed with strings of sleigh bells, cow bells
and other noise producers, all of which
were concealed from the bride and
groom until the carriage started towards
Upper Lehigh.
As the vehicle passed through town it
attracted a great deal of attention, the
Jingle of the bells serving to bring it to
the notice of every person on the streets
at that hour.
Mr.. and Mrs. Powell thoroughly en-
joyed their unenviable position and ac-
cepted the joke in the manner which the
perpetrators intended.

READING Gets
LEH|CH VALLEY
Former Road Is to Do1ni-
nate Hard Coal Trade.
Positive Announcement Is
Made That the Plan of
Consolidation Has Been
Agreed To.

The report which has been current in
financial circles for ten days. that deal
is on foot to turn control of the Lehigh
Valley over to the Reading Company,
received more definite shape yesterday.
1t was declared that the First National
bank, of New York, which has been
buying Reading stocks representing
powerful interests seeking to control it,
is also engineering the reported Read
ing-Lehigh Valley deal. There is now
said to be a pool comprising $40, 900
shares ont of the sos, $50 shares of Lee
high Valley stock outstanding. This
bought by Drexel Morgan interests from
the Packer estate.
Several months since this stock was d.
vided into four blocks between the Erie,
the Lackawanna, the Reading and the
New York Central.
When the Reading bought control of
the Jersey Central it virtually increased
its call on Lehigh Valley stock to so, 900
shares. The plan, as outlined yester
day, is to let the Lehigh Valley, which,
in view of the peculiar distribution of
the stock outside of the pool among in
Vulnerable small holders, is considered
enough to insure safe control
The purpose of the scheme is that the
Reading shall absolutely dominate the
hard coal trade, and that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, controlling, as it now
does, the soft coal business, shall agree
to maintain freight rates at a point
which will prevent bituminous from in
fringing on the legitimate market for
anthracite.

Papers Lost in Mine.

Report was made today that many
papers OF the greatest Importance to the
city of Pttston are missing and are be-
lieved to be in the pocket of Michael
Langan, whose body with those of fifty
seven miners is entombed in the i'll
fated Twin shaft.
AT the time of the disaster in 1896,
Langan was acting mayor of the city
and a few hours before he entered the
mines had received valuable papers.
There is no hope of ever penetrating the
fallen rock and recovering either body
or papers.

Do you blame man for being

We don't The fact is we are
hard to please ourselves-hrst about
clothes, then about manufacture;
in fact, everything else pertaining
to the clothes we sell. But there
is the success of our ever increas-

LIVE STOCK.
Important Decision Handed Down
by Judge Pollock.

Judge Pollock handed down a
decision yesterday in a case from
Traill county which will be of gen.
eral interest to owners of stock rum
ming at large. It involved con-
}struction Of the proviso clause to
section 6I53 of the code. The main
lection makes any person owning or
having in his charge or possession
any horses, mules, cattle, goats, sheep
or swine, liable for any damages for
trespass they might commit upon
the lands Of another; while the pro-
viso clause says that "none of the
! provisions OF this chapter shall be
construed as conflicting with the pro-
visions Of section I549 of the code
which permits stock to run at large
from the first day Of December Gas
Iamended) until the first day of April
bf each year.
! Itwas held by the court that while
such stock from December to April
could not be take.. up as an estray
yet if they trespassed upon the prop
erty OF another and committed any
Manages the owner or persons having
In possession such stock would be
liable to the party damaged for the
amount Of such damages.

The Editor.

The following essay written by
a school boy on 'The Newspa-
per" is going the rounds: New
papers are sheet Of paper on
which stuff to read is printed.
The men look over the paper to
see if their names are in it and
the women use it to put on
shelves and such. I don't know
how newspapers came into the
world, I don't think God does.
The Bible says nothing about
editors and / never heard of one
being in heaven. The first edi-
tor 1 ever heard of was the one
who wrote up the food. He has
been here ever since. Some
editors belong to the church and
some try to raise whiskers. All
of them raise hi in their neigh
borhood and all of them are liars
all that I know and l only
know one. Editors never die,
at least never saw a dead one.
Sometimes the paper dies and
the people feel glad, but someone
starts it up again. Editors never
went to school because editors
never get licked. Our paper is a
mighty poor one, but we take it
so ma can put on the pantry
shelves. Our editor don't
amount to much, pa say he had q
poor chance when he was q boy.
He goes without underclothes in
winter, wears no socks and has q
wife to support him. Pa hasn't
paid his subscription in five
years and don't intend to.

COTTON.
New York, April 10.-Shorts met with
trying conditions in the cotton market
today and were eventually forced to seek

total absence of offerings around the
opening led to a scare Of pit shorts which
rapidly grew to proportions which affect

had responded more generally than. ,ex-

and New Orleans manifested latent
strength of no mean order. On the call
the feeling was steady with prices I'M
changed to four points higher. mo-
mentary pause was followed by sharp
upward movement in May which soon
spread to the rest of the list. As the
market stiffened demand from shorts in
creased apace until the bear forces were
excitedly endeavoring to extricate them
selves from an unenviable position. The
influences at work were of bearish COM
position, receipts were heavy, the weather
conditions South quite favorable to field
work, the goods market accounts quite
in keeping with former statements, spot
demand almost dormant and speculative
interest in public circles conferred on the
stock market Yet the knowledge that
the market was heavily oversold, and
very little long, prompted shorts to bend
every energy toward retreat The esti-
