The Reading system in itself is re-

the country.
The reorganization of the Reading
for such 1t may be termed, means tle
converging of certain lines that will
give free eastern tidewater points and
full western connections. The New
York Central cannot obtain coal trade
over its own lines, but the manage
ment has concluded that the Baltimore
and Ohio is the outlet to its interest =
and. as stated ten days ago, is now al
possession of the field over the Penn

Ohio will become part of the Read

Ohio is not sought for by the Penn

At Dover March 8


John Edward came down like wolf
on the fold,
And his pockets we're bulging with sill
yer and gold,
And the legions at Dover all trembled
with fright
When the noble John Edward sailed
into the fight
He threatened and d.cksred and prom
ised and plead,
And talked like a jack-ass all gone in
the head;
Whenever he opened his talking ma
chime
John Abbott grew silent, Gale Layton
turned green.
There stood Little Frank with the men
of his class.
Their garments exhallng the fragrance
OF gas,
And dainty Jer Blakely, the shy little
elf,
And sweet little Simeon, stuck on
himself
They gird on their armor the people
turn pale,
Not knowing how many small men are
for sale;
Then noble Sam Baynard shows what
he intends,
His knife Is all whetted TO murder his
friends
Ben. Groves fell to crying, the dear lit
tie chap.
Till Robertson soothed him awhile on
his lap;
McFarlin went over, a smile ON his
face
With not enough sense to perceive his
disgrace.
And then there were others they call
''want-tO-wn"
The freaks who are out, but who want
to be in;
And there was the rabble from north
and from south,
Who vote for John Edward, and talk
with their mouth
Like the surges Of ocean that break
on the rocks
They beat on the leglons commanded
by Knox
They made no impression but yet
they were wroth,
And vented their fury in bubbles and
froth.
They came down to Dover all thirstlng
for blood
They went-their tail feathers bedrab-
bled in mud;
And some were assured as they step
ped through the door
The State House at Dover should sec
them no more
Their stomachs all empty, their money
all spent
And sadder, though wiser, than ever
they went;
All back to their homes, there quickly
to forget
The claims they had made and tht
money they bet.
And Bateman and Townsend were louc
in their wall.
And Roberts wept loud on the bosom
of Gale;
Such depths of despondency. none ever
Their lies are exhausted, and what
shall they do?
When Hanna had learned that the bat
tie was lost,
He sold out his gas stock some points
below cost,
And all understand e'er they battle
again,
| Iis beest to steer clear of a contes:
with MEN.
