LEASE OF LEHIGH VALLEY RAILROAD TO
THE PHILADELHHIA AND READING
DISSOLVED BY THE DIRECTORS
OK THE FORMER CORPORA
TION. Philadelphia, Aug. 8 The lease
of the Lehigh Valley railroad to the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad was
this afternoon disolved by the direc
tors of the former corporation. The
action was taken because the Reading
coal and iron company failed to pay
$968,768 for coal purchased from the
Lehigh Valley coal company prior to
the Reading receivership, and which
default violated the lease.
The Lehigh Valley railroad petition
ed the United States court to abrogate
the lease and the Reading receivers
assenting, Judge Dallas ordered the
separation. The latter also appointed
John L,ojvber Welsh to succeed E. P.
Wilbur as a Reading receiver. Mr,
Wilbur will probably soon retire from
the Reading board of managers, but
will retain the presidency of the Le
high Valley.
It was provided in the lease that if
the agreement between the coal com
panies each of which is controlled
by its respective road should
be terminated for any reason, then
the lease of the Lehigh Valley rail
road to the Reading should at once
be terminated.

A circular letter from the audi
tor general on this matter.
The county officials have received a
circular letter from Auditor General
Gregg directing that hereafter an
itemized statement must be made of
all fees received each day. Fifty per
cent, of all moneys in excess of $,
000 of office expenses must be re
mitted to the State.
The circular closes as follows:
"Commencing with the year iSot. no
clerk hire or expenses of office will be
allowed in the annual settlement of
the accounts of the county officers, ex
cept the auditors report be accom
panied by itemized and properly re
ceipted vouchers accounting for all
clerk hire and office expenses to be
deducted from the fees received.
County officers are instructed to take
receipt for all money paid for clerk
hire and expenses of office, the origin
als of which aie to be forwarded with
the auditors' report for the year 1893."
Investigation Invited.
Of course it is nroner to inauire
about what any man says, Is it true ?
I he most rigid investigation is in
vited into the testimonials published
in behalf of , Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Special attention is called to the hiirh
O
character of the persons whose testimo
nials are published by the proprietors
of this medicine, as evidenced bv their
occupations or indorsements. In fact,
no matter where a testimonial in be
half of Hood's Sarsanarilla mav be
from, it is reliable and as worthy of
confidence as if it came from your
most trusted neighbor.
