LEGAL FIGHT SEEN
IN COAL CO. SALE
PhiIa. Concern Said to Have
Bid Under Successful
N. Y. Syndicate
INTEREST PAYMENT, ISSUE

A legal battle between financial In
tcrests in this city and New York looms
as the result Of the sale Of the 02 per
cent interest in the Lehigh and Wilkes
Barre Coal Company by tho New Jersey
Central Railroad.
The sale was made under the de-
cisiOn Of the United States Supreme
Court in the Reading case. Five pro-
posals for the purchase were received
by the directors of the New Jersey Cen
tral. The road held 169,7SS shares,
which it sold at S1S5 share last week,
or a total Of S31 ,410, $50.
This bid, which was not the highest
offered, was submitted by syndicate
headed by jackson +. Reynolds, a vice
president of the First National Bank
of New York. It is said the bid was
not made upon the same basis Of facts
proposals made by the four unsuccess :
full bidders.
Three Philadelphia Syndicatcs Bid
Three Philadelphia syndicates bid.
The Lchigh Coal and Navigation Conn
pany bid 500 Il share, or $50, 259. .720.
This was the high bid. The Franklin
Securities Company. affiliated with the
Franklin National Bank, bid $31 ,G20, =
l44. Brown Brothers & Co. headed u
syndicate bidding $2S. .694.172, with in
tereStS on deferred payments.
When the bids were opened last
week. after several poStponemcnts. II
was found that the Reynolds syndicate
bid made as of that date, was S3j n
share higher than bid made by this
syndicate two weeks before. This bid
carried interest on deferred payments,
$4,000, 900 TO be paid December q, the
balance strung along until October |
next. This would make the entire pay
ment about So. 495.O 900. The board
of directors of the New Jersey Central
sold its Lchigh & Wilkes Burrc stock
to the Reynolds syndicate upon that
basis.
Question was raised, before this was
done. as to wethor the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation and Franklin Securities bids
had not carried interest on deferred
payments, MS seemed likely was intend
ed. although not stated in the bids.
They should be telcphoncd and asked

on the ground 1t would seem like ask g.
ing for new bids. 1t was not done.
committee was appointed by the
Board Of Directors Of the New Jersey
Central September 30 last, TO receive
and consider proposals for the sale OF
the coal stock. This committee con

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose appica-
lions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton. N. Y, for a
sample b,ttle. When writing be sure and

| the battle of North foint and the re-
tirement of the British TO their ships.
1t was this matchless defense th&t
saved the nation and checked the pro-
posed attack upon Philadelphia and
New York.
Then took place the attack upon the
historical Fort McHenry; 16 bomb
and-rocket vessels bombarded the fort
throwing constant shower of rock
cts and bombs, the later weighing 22O
pounds. Colonel Armisted, In command
of the fort, was unable to reach them
except on one or two occasions when
they came nearer. AS the army was
retreating, a more severe lombard
ment than before was executed. I'm
der the cover of darkness, as last
resort, several rocket vessels and
burgess, with 1,25G picked men, passed
south of Fort McHenry and attempted
to land. After passing the fort they
threw up rockets of rejoicing ard to
light landing place. This, however.
was their undoing, and caused Com
modore Rogers "invincible crew" at
Fort Covington, under Lieutenant New
combe and Barney's fiotilla mer, I'M
der Lieut. John Webster, at Fort Bah
cock, to pour into them a ptiless fire,
sinking one barge with all on board
and compelling the rest to retire. The
enemy retired badly damaged under
the fire from Fort McHenry and the
Lozaretto. At safe distance they
continued to lombard Fort McHenry
until morning. The bombardment
lasted for 25 hours, and they are said
to have thrown 1900 to 1900 great
bombs, 400 of which landed in Fort
McHenry.
Dr. William Beanes, who had en-
countered the displeasure of the Brit
ish at Upper Marlboro in their march
upon Washington, had been carried off
in their fleet. He was a particularly
close friend of Francis Scott Key, who
visited the fleet at Baltimore to seek
the release of his friend. Having
boarded the Minden, one of the ships
of the fleet the British compelled him
to remain until after the bombardment
There he was during that memorable
night when Fort McHenry was being
SO terribly assaulted. We can we'll
imagine his anxiety as to the fate of
the fort and the attack to be made
upon the city wherein resided his fam
lily and loved ones. He and his friend
paced the deck during that night Of
September 13. The bombardment
ceased just before day. So long as
the bombardment continued they knew
the fort had not surrendered. but when
! it ceased before daylight 1t left them
in great suspense as to the result. We
may well imagine how earnestly they
looked forward to dawn and sufficient
light to relieve their anxiety. How
happy they must have been when they
saw that "the flag was still there"
Kew was stirred to the depths by pa.
triotic fervor and devotion, and there
wrote his song Of rejoicing, 1.-THE Star
