vOn a recent visit In lMilladelnhla

of the wholesale' and retail business

rXTnAnaeAmv at Trantnn Chancellor
Runyon appointed Judge Lathrop, of
the New Jersey Court of Appeals, rp'
celver for the Central Railway of lhat
State. Thus ends this matter, after
much tontentlon and delay. The ap.
plication for the appointment had to be
made In Now Jersey, and as no outside
creditors were In condition to seek relief
through the courts by the Intervention
of a receiver, it was necessary to have
the co-operation ot the company In the
application. It Is hoped that the step
taken may result to the benefit of all
parties having an interest In tbe man
agement of the company's affairs.

" To every thing there Is a season, and a time

To say that anybody felt aurprleed or greatly

when the L. A W. Coal Co. was first formed the
coal tiBfflo was still ojo of the beat paving

later, when t tines grew worse, and economy the

Lehigh afc 1Vllkes.HB.rre Coal Co.
In the U. S. Circuit Court, at Pitts,
burg, on Monday; receivers were ap
pointed for the Leblgh & Wilkes-Barre
Coal Co. The event though not unex
pected, Is said to have caused consider
able excitement among stock jobbers in
Philadelphia, more or less effecting the
entire stock market. The receivers are
E. W. Clark. Esq., of Philadelphia,
president of the Lehigh Coal and Navi
gation Company and one of the direc
tor,! of tbe Lehigh and Wllkes-Uarre
Company; It. Williamson, Esq., of
New Jersey, also a director ot tbe
Lehigh and Wllkes-Earre Coal Co.,
and W. W. Tilllnghast, of New York,
secretary and treasurer ot tho same
company. The L. and W. Company
holds property In each of the three
States from which the receivers are
taken, and probably accounts for so
many being named. It is claimed by
tho trlonds ot the coal company that its
condition is bettered by tbls step, and
lhat in no respect can it operate to the
prejudice ot Its creditors or to the pre
judice of the creditors of other compan
ies. v
