-Rcporte" increase of wages on the Lo
high Valley Railroad. During the latter
part of lost week, says the Easton Argus, a
rejiort was circulated in South Easton that
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company had
concluded to raise the wages of itscmployes
the same to take cllect on tho 1st of May,
The report was also circulated on Ihe upper
divisions, but bv -iian.v it was disbelieved
A gentleman who came from the 1'. k N. Y
division a few days ago, informed our re-
orter that the reiort was true os rrganls
that division, but whether there would bo a
general advance along the whole line he. hod
not learned. From another sourco our re
(Mirier learned that tho main line nn
branches will be included in the advance,
train hands only receiving it. Anotlior re
port says tho wages of tho shop hands will bo
advanced, but this !s not from what wo
would call a reliable source. How much the
advance wi',1 be, or what grade of workmen
will receivo it, will probably not be known
until Paymaster Wilhelm arrives.

would not only bo the biggest ana hottest,

and riotous In the hotels, and until daybreak
and all the forenoon thoro wcro feverish and
uneasy rumors of attempts to steal tho halls
of meeting, to pack the building, and to pre.
occupy ull the seating room. Each delegate
and reasonable contestant was furnished with

A soon its Chairman Miller had called tho

yielded to tho cntlro Democracy tho control
