A SHORT SUSPENSION OP HOSTILITIES
'SPECIAL TELEGRAM TOIIIS DISPATCH.
Philadelphia, January 8. The hold
ers of Philadelphia and Beading Bailroad
first preference income bonds are still in
suspense. The managers held a brief ses
sion to-day, and adjourned until noon to
morrow without taking any action in regard
to the payment of interest upon the
income bonds. There was a live
ly time at the general office of
the Beadinc, for President Corbin had
some unexpected callers. One of the first
trains from New York, to-day, brought to
this city three'prominent brokers who were
loaded for bear. They were Simon "Worm
ser, of the firm of S. & M. Wormser &
Co, which has a large following of
speculators among the Hebrews of New
York; Alfred Scullv, a well-known capital
ist and speculative leader, and Mr. Dow, of
the firmot Dow, Jones & Co.
Hardly had President Corbin got seated
in hs arm chair at the Beading general
office until the trio gave him a surprise
nanv. The scene was a storm v one, and in
language quite free from verbosity, Mr.'
"Wormser told President Corbin that he was
a base deceiver, who had no regard for the
"truth.
ME. WORMSER'S CLAIMS.
Mr. Wormser asserts that within eight
davs President Corbin told him positively
that full interest would be paid upon the
first preference bonds, and upon the strength
of Mr. Corbin's representation Mr. Wormser
and his clients held on to the large blocks of
Readies stock and income bonds which they
possessed, and acquired more.
After the heat of passion had passed.
President Corbin agreed to submit the books
and accounts of the company to Lindley
Smyth, President of the Pennsylvania Com
pany. Mr. Smyth agreed ta
make the inspection at once, with
expert accountants. The mortgage provides
that the managers must pass upon the ques
tion of interest not later than January IS,
and it is probable that they will delay their
action until Mr. Smyth completes his ex
amination and reports to Messrs. Wormser,
Dow aud Sully, as representatives of the
junior bondholders.
It Mr. Svmth'a report regarding the
amount of earnings and the disposition of
them is satisfactory to the New York
brokers, that will probably end the proceed
ines. but if the report indicates that ex
penditures were made which ought to'have
been paid for by the issue of new bonds, a
strong effort will be made to induco the
managers to revise the application of earn
ings and pay something as interest upon the
firtt income bonds.
ALI. GONE HOME AOAHf.
Messrs. Sully and Dow returned to New
York about 4 o'clock, but Mr. Wormser
remained two hours longer, and had a long
consultation with Spencer Brvin, of Brvin
& Toland, who have been prominently
identified with all movements against the
Corbin administration.
It is said that one result of to-day's con
ference will be to present a pretest at the
annual meeting, to be held next Monday,
against the re-election'of President Corbin.
The election will be controlled wholly by
the voting trustees. Everyone familiar
with Beading affairs believes that the action
of the managers in refraining from
declaring interest upon the first preference

Heard by Ibe Tariff Commit,
lee Rice .Kalirrs Alio.
Washington, January 8. B. Jure, of
New York, was the first gentleman to ap
pear before the Ways and Means Committee
this morning. He said that imported to
bacco, whether it came from Cuba or Su
matra, was injurious to a great Industry in
seven of onr States. Had the 'Secretary of
the Treasury followed the plain terms oi the.
law, the first bale of Havana or Sumatra
wrappers that came to this country would
have been the last. The Secretary had
adopted a system of averaging the quality
of wrappers which was entirely unauthor
ized bylaw.
S. G. Hubbard, President of the New
England Tobacco Growers',Asxoeiatlon; W.
C. Morse, representing the Chemung Valley
Tobacco Growers' Association, aud Jona
than Wychoff, of the New York State To
bacco Growers' Association, all asked pro
tection for the tobacco grower.
The afternoon session of the committee
ras devoted to hearing arguments by the
wine ana spirit interests. George T. Stagg,
ol Kentucky, read a prepared statement fell
of statistics exhibiting the importance of
the distillery interests. He mid that the
distillers do not ass: for a repeal of the in
ternal revenue laws, as it would, while in
creasing business temporarily, result in
overproduction and consequent depression.
They would like to have the tax reduced
irom 90 cents to CO cents a gallon, but did
not care to have it entirely wiped out, as
they recognized the fact that whisky is used
as a beverage, and should bear its share of
taxation.
Victor E. Piolett, an old fanner of Penn
sylvania, argued in favor of the duties on
agricultural products and said he would tax
everything which competes with what the
farmer crows or makes.
Colonel John Screven, of Savannah, spoke
in favor of raising the duty on rice. F. G.
Ernst, of New Orleans, representing the
rice miller;, asked that, in the new tariff
bill, the definitions of the various kinds of
rice be made more exact Xarge quantities
of patna or really "cleaned" rice were being
imported as "uncleaned" rice at a rate of
duty three-quarters of a cent a pound below
the proper rate. The rice men could not
stand any further cut in the duty on rice;
in fact, those having old lands could not af
ford to do business at present prices.
Congressman Lansing, of New York, en
deavored to impress uppn the committee the
desirability ot giving 'agriculture the same
degree of protection given manufactures.
The business of raiting seeds was practically
a manufacture. He wanted a duty of 40
cents a bushel on peas and beans raised for
seed, 20 cents instead of 10 cents on barley,
and $4 instead ot 52 on hay.

City Hall circles are busily employed over
the possible changes in the City Clerk's
office. George Sheppard is understood to
stand under the lightning of an appoint

which case George Booth will change chairs
and desks. The office of Assistant City
Clerk, it is claimed, under the civil ser

for several years been connected with the
office, and knows its ins and outs thor
oughly. Another candidate was in the field yester

it is almost useless to protest against the
re-election of Mr. Corbin. who is carrying
out the will of the influential banking
house.
While it is believed by many that the
policy of the managers in charging expendi
tures for construction to the expense ac
count is unfair to the income bondholders,
all admit that the junior secnrities and the
stock will ultimately be benefited by it, be
cause the fixed charges are not increased

SlioTel nr.d Hoea.
Messrs. Hubbard, the ax manufacturers,
whose works were destroyed by fire about six
months aco, at the foot of Forty-eighth
street and Bailroad, have completed their
new manufactory at the Sharpsburg bridge,
and are working in it. The new works be
longed to tbe Citizen's Oil Company, and
was operated by tbem ior many years.
After the Standard and Globe full got control
of the oil market, the Citizen's propertv be
came useless and was thrown on the
market. WHen the Hubbards were burnt
out, they got possession of this buildinc,
and after a complete renovation converted it
into a fine shovel and hoe factory. The
company has transfered the ax manufactory
to Beaver Falls, and will simply make
shovels and hoe sat the Sharpsburg' works.
There are now some 100 men employed in
the works, and when they get the whole
place in full working order, it will give em
ployment to double that number.
NEW STEEL FURNACE.
Ad Addition to the Large Plant of William
CInrk'a Son Jfc Co.
William Clark's Son & Co. are extending
their plant. They are putting up a new
open-hearth steel furnace on the Siemens
Martin pattern, which is nearly completed.
The new furnace will have a daily output
of 60,000 pounds of steel. The fnrnace will
be built entirely of silica brick. The fur
nace, being separated from the other open
hearth plant, will necessitate the erection of
a hydraulic crane, ladle crane, pumps and
molds. The cost of the entire work will be
upward of 515,000. There has been within
the past year a big boom in this branch of
steel manufacture, and there is talk that
other furnaces are to be erected around the
city.

CHEERI BLOSSOMS.
Officer Tonne Carried a jFnrlg of Flowers
Yealerday.
The prevailing condition of the weather
is having, a serious effect on fruit trees, and
if a very cold spell should set in, it can be
set down that the fruit crop will not
amount to much in this section next season.
Officer Louis Young, of the Southside, lives
on Arlington Heights. Yesterday, when he
reported for duty, he carried in his hand a
twig of a cherry tree, covered with fully de
veloped blossoms. The tree from which it
was taken grows in his lot, where there are
several other fruit trees in bloom.
Inquiry about the matter developed the
fact that fruit trees all over the roan ties are
budding, and the blossoms are so far ad
vanced that even a heavy frost would kill
the entire crop.
' Officer Installed.
Allegheny Council No. 3, Independent
Sovereigns of Industry, last evening in
stalled tbe officers for the year 1890. The
new officers are: President, Mary Stuck

tary, Adam Hoffman; Treasurer, S. J. Pat
ton; Conductor, L. L. Piannett; Assistant
Conductor, Anna ilunden; Inside Guard,
Lucie Boyd; Outside Guard, W. B. Hall.
After the installation Mrs. S. McLaughlin,
tbe retiring President, was presented by the
members of the council with 'a pair of gold
eyeglasses.
Grocer Seeking; Vnrlcty.
Some wholesale grocers of this city feel, it
is said, competent to run Long & Co.'s roll
ing mill, provided they can buy it cheaply.
Their views vary somewhat as to what they
would be willing to pay for it. One propo
sition looked to tbe raising of 5200,000, and
this sum, it would seem, is contemplated
with the view that it would purchase the
plant and stock it, as some talked as though
they expected it could be purchased at near
the price bid last Monday.
Death of Bllnot IS. Holmes.
Minot B. Holmes, aged 20 years, day re

evening of typhoid fever, from which be

He was a sou ot Captain B. D. Holmes,

A meeting of tbe William Flinn Repub

George Harrison occupied the chair, and
John Smackum acted Secretary. On motion
D. W. Downig. of Wooster street, was in
dorsed as a candidate for constable of tbe
Eleventh wnr.'
CONSUMPTION,
IN its first stages, can ibe successfully
checked by the prompt use of Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral. Even in the later
periods of that diseaso, the cough is
wonderfully relieved by this medicine.
"I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
with the best effect in my practice.
This wonderful preparation onco saved
my life, I had a constant cough, night
sweats, was greatly reduced In flesh,
and given up by my physician. One
bottle and a half of the Pectoral cured
me."' A. J. Eidson, M. D., Middleton,
Tennessee.
" Several years ago I was severely ill.
The doctors said I was In consumption,
and that they could do nothing lor me,
but advised me, as a last resort, to try
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. After taking
this medicine two or three months I
was cured, and my health remains good
to the present day." James Birchard,
Saxien, Conn.
Several years ago, on a passage home
from California, by water, I contracted
so severe a cold that for some days I
was confined to my state-room, and a
physician on board considered ray life
in danger. Happening to have a bottle
of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, I used it
freely, and my lungs were soon restored
to a healthy condition. Since then I
have invariably recommended this prep
aration.' ' J. B. Chandler, Junction, Va.

Winter Hats and Caps; any kind of Winter Furnishines, such as MufHers,
Gloves, Heavy Weight Hosiery, etc., and Winter Footwear this week,
even supposing you don't require them for immediate use. And for
why? Because our prices are so low that supposing goods purchased
are not required for immediate use, you'll be the gainer in buying for
future use. In view of the fact that the newspapers will from now on
be filled with advertisements from clothiers embodying all sorts of state
ments in order to induce people to buy statements which only require
a few moments' thought to convince people of their ridiculousness it
will be advisable for you all to MAKE COMPARISONS OF GOODS
AND PRICES BEFORE YOU BUY, before you part with your well
earned money.
