BWi Sj r pv' ?F&$pfyg$ izm X &."K 6 mum in it, The Greatest Bailroad Coup of the Age Engineered by Mr. McLeod. BEADING IS KOW Oft TOP In the Anthracite Carrying Trade by Securing Control of ALL OTHER COMPETING LINES. Details of a Deal That Represents Brains as Well as Capital. PHILADELPHIA WILL BE A GAIXEE Philadelphia, Feb. 10. The arrange ments that have for some -time been in progress, designed to place the coal pro ducing and carrying interests upon a more stable foundation, have been com pleted. The primary object in view has been to secure more economical manage ment in the coal trade by avoiding expen sive selling agencies and heavy commis sions, so that while coal will not cost any more to the consumers the coal producers and carriers can get better results and se cure profits by saving expenses. The combination and complex agreements heretofore made have been generally found inadequate to accomplish the object sought, as the binding force was insufficient. There has now been carried into practical effect a plan, formed" by President McLeod, which embraces the most extensive financial en terprise yet undertaken in his country, and which he thus briefly outlines: The voting trust now holding the stock of the Philadelphia and Beading Bailroad will shortly expire, and the control of the stock of that company has passed already into iands that are friendly to the present Beading management The Beading Bail road ha? by lease acquired control of the Lehigh Valley Bailroad, a corporation in the State of 2few Jersey. The Port Bead intr Bailroad, which is under Beading man agement, has bv lease acquired control of the Central Bailroad of New Jersey. What the Heading Will Control. This is practically placing in the Beadipg Company's Lands the control of the affairs of the Beadintr, Lehigh Valley and New Jersey Central Bailroads, and also, through the latter, of the Lehigh and Susquehanna Bailroad, and of the Lehigh Navigation Company. Under the lease they will be paid a guar anteed dividend of 7 per annnm upon the stock of the Central Bailroad of New Jersey, and a guaranteed dividend upon the stock of the Lehigh Valley Bailroad at gradually increasing rates 5 per cent perannum until Jlay 31 next, then C per cent per annnm for the half year until November 30, and after ward 7 per cent per annum. In each case it is provided that the surplus earnings of the respective companies, if any, beyond the above euarantecd rates of dividend, shall be divided between lessor and lessee until the lessor's share reaches the guaranteed rate of 10 per cent per annum. The creat advantages of the new arrangements are obvious. In addition to the splendid Beading Terminal, now constructing in Philadelphia, the Beading will acquire the magnifi cent terminals of the Lehigh Valley and New Jersey. Central on New York barbor. Through thcLehiah Valley's new "Western extension there will be provided a direct route to the lakes at Bufialo, with a spa cious terminal there. When it is further known that the control of the Delaware, Lackawanna and "Western Bailroad has passed into hands that are friendly to the Beading management the investing public will lecogaize that the new "arrangements will tend to economy throughout the various railway systems concerned and will make more stable values for coal company securities without adding to the cost of coal to the consumer. Millionaire In the Ki Deal. The financial arrangements herein out lined hae the active support and co-operation of A. J. Drexcl, P. Piermont Morgan and J. Lowber "Welsh, and also J. Rogers -Man ell and George F. Tucker, of the New Jersey Central management The latter gentlemen and their friends have become the largest stockholders of the Lackawanna stock. The followine statement was furnished the press this evening: "Through the great est deal ever made in the history of rail roads the Beading Bailroad Company will pay a dividend on its stock this year. The Beading Bailroad Company's net earnings will increase ?4,2j0,000 during the next 12 months. The Beading Bailroad Company now controls by lease for 099 years the Le high Valley and the Jersey Central Bail roads, and on February 23 the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western will "be controlled in the interest of the Eeadinjr. The Bead ing Bailroad Company and its leased lines now represent six hundred millions of capi tal, and its earnings will amount to 580,000, 000 per year. This is the greatest coup ever known in corporation finances, besides with the famous South Penn-Beech Creek-West Shore deal of 1883 pales to absolute insig nificance." The statement as to the control of the Lehigh Valley and Jersey Central is made authoritatively at the cencral offices of the Beading Bailroad. President McLeod is to-day the king of railroad financiers. The days of Beading's financial difficulties are at an end, and to day there is no stronger railroad corpora tion. It control": 72 percent of the anthra cite production, and hereafter it is absolute master of the situation. By this combina tion the net receipts for anthracite coal will be at least 25 cents per ton greater than dur ing last year. The result of this stupendous deal is so far reaching as to be difficult of comprehension. Terms of the Tripartite Agreement. The terms of the lease with the Central Bailroad of New Jersey provide for a guar anteed dividend of 7 per cent on the stock of that company, and in addition the Jersey Central is to receive one-half of its own net earnings in excess of the amount required for the 7 per cent dividend until the total dividend reaches 10 per cent per annum, the surplus over 10 per cent to revert to the Beading. The Jersey Central earned last year U) per cent, so that the Beading will get a part of it from its lease from the start The Lehigh Valley is guaranteed a divi dend at the rate ot 5 per cent per annum until May 31, 1892, from that date until December 1 at the rate of C per cent, and after the last named date the guaranteed dividend is 7 per cent In addition to the guaranteed dividend, and alter the latter is paid, the Lehigh Valley stock is to receive one-half of tue net earnings of that road until the total dividend shall equal about 10 per cent per annum, atier which the surplus goes to the Beading in the same manner. Haft Confidence In the Lehigh. Aside from other considerations, to be mentioned later and which will affect the earnings of these two companies equally, President McLeod is confident that. the Lehigh Valley, after May 1, when its new line to Buffalo will be completed, is certain on us own merits, to earn more than the full amount of the nuarantee wholly re gardless of any benefits which its revenue vay derive from the new relations between Jie' three companies. It should be remembered that the Lehigh Jailer is now paying the Frio 1,250,000 an Jually for trackage, a sum equivalent to 3 er cent on its capital stock, and that the iehigh Valley makes a net gain of this amount, which, added to the 5 per cent the company is now paying, will provide for the 7 per cent guarantee and leave a surplus of 1 percent In addition to this the Buf falo and lake xraffic of all these lines will be thrown oerthe Lehigh Valley. It will be seen that President McLeod has made an uncommonly good bargain. To Cut Down tho Expenses. But the most important point is vet to be stated. It is Mr. McLeod's conviction, as it has been that of well-informed and con servative capitalists" for many years past, that the existing methods of the present corporation are useless and expensive. An agreement has been reached that will com pletely revolutionize the old system and re sult in savings to the companies interested in the mining of coal. The plan is to con solidate offices and reduce the number of officers and employes thus engaged at pres ent The joint business of marketing the product of these companies will practically oe controlled by President McLeod s cor poration, and will be so conducted as to not only secure economy, but to prevent sense less and unnecessary forms of competition. Itis Mr. McLeod's theory that the indus tries of Pennsylvania are now paying fair and reasonable prices for their fuel, but that he rates- now prevailing at New York, Boston, Chicago, in Canada and other distant points should be so equalized that they will bear a proper and just relation to the location of these markets 'with regard to the service of supply. This will give the industries of Pennsylvania their proper advantage over those of distant points which have their own advantages ot location and which now operate against Pennsylvania," because in addition to such advantages of location they have those of equal prices for fuel also. This is a wrong which will be righted. It is. estimated that these changes, taken together, will yield a new increase of at least 25 cents per ton on all coal handled by the consolidated Beading Bailroad and with out costing the consumers one penny more than at present, except at such places as the product of their mines is now sold at.actual loss. Heading Is a Great Corporation. As the tonnage of the three companies, exclusive of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western acrererated about S24.000.000 an nually, the single item means a net gain of tO,OO0,000. The Beading's present tonnage ot ten millions will give it an increase of 52,500,000. Under the terms of the leases and contracts the increased profit from this source of the other companies will be de rided equally between the respective earn ing companies and the Beading, giving the latter additional profit of $1,750,000. Sofrom this source alone the Beading's net revenue will be increased by the sum of four and one quarter millions annually. This means a dividend on Beading stock this year. Nor is this the end of President McLeod's great achievement The absorption of the Lehigh Valley and New Jersey Central still lett in the held one competitor ot no incon siderable importance, the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western. It can be confidently stated that tbe Lackawanna management will be so changed as to bring its policy into entire, accord with that of the tripartite alli ance, and will thereafter act in close har mony with the Beading. This coup of President McLeod's makes tbe Beading as strong a corporation as there is in the world. Gross Receipts S8O,O0O,O0O. The gross receipts of the Philadelphia and Beading system will hereafter be 580,000,000 annually, and the number of its employes will approximate 100,000. It is now plain what was in Mr. McLeod's mind when he acquired the Poughkeepsic bridge and the lines contributary thereto, which, throws tbe Beading and its entire augmented system into the very heart of New England, giving it the only rail road from the Middle and Southern States to the East, enabling it to virtually control the coal traffic of that entire region. Mr. McLeod had the hearty support in this matter of Mr. A. J. Drexel and the bank ins house in which he is associated, Mr. John Lowber Welsh and others. Mr. George F. Baker, of the New Jersey Central, and others above mentioned, have secured the largest holding there is at present in the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Bail road. The success of this combination, hav ing at its back the.strongest financial insti tutions in the country, is assured. A FORMER EXPERIENCE TVith a Sudden Increase in the Valuations as Returned by tho Asset tors Ex-Commissioner Beckert Has Decided Opin ions Upon the Subject. Ex-County Commissioner Beckert was probably attracted to the Commissioners' office on Tuesday by the fight waged against tbe increase of assessments. Mr. Beckert knows all about it as he went out of office in 1879 in the fight, being the first to depart from the practice of the fathers, and the first martyr to his convictions. Mr. Beckert jumped the county assessment from 542,000, 000 to 5340,000,000 and reduced the millage thereby from 14 mills to 1J mills. Mr. Beckett agreeswiththepresent Com missioners that the only way to overcome the irregularities of assessors is to get pretty nearly to the actual value of every piece of ground in the county. Under the old ar rangement, he says, it was nothing uncom mon to hnd one property holder assessed $10,000 higher than another on property of no greater value than that of his neighbor. With the millage at 14, tho one paid $140 more county tax than his neighbor whose property was of the same value. When the change was made the man who had escaped was taxed for county purposes but little more than previously, while the over taxed man who had been assessed by an assessor who tried to do his duty as sworn to do, was relieved by a heavy burden. Mr. Beckert states that the assessment ought to be really double what it is at present, and say ing nothing of taxing oil rock thinks that it is nothing less than a farce to tax coal as low in some instances as 525 an acre, when the owners would not take $300 an aero for it. The pressure on Mr. Beckert became eo heavy that he was forced to lock himself in a room and station a guard at the door with orders to admit but one appealer at a time. As soon as he was heard he was dismissed and another admitted. Mr. Mercer states that the incqualites in coal assessment are almost as great as ever. There are instances of one assessor in one township placing it at 575 an acre, while in another the same vein equallv eligibly located is not assessed at all, both surface and coal being putat 75 an acre. FIGHTING FOE A GOAT. Cliarfres and Counter Charges Over the Possession of an Animal. Ellen Keefe had a hearing before Alder man Foley yesterday on a charge of perjury preferred by James Halligan. The trouble originated over a goat, both parties claim ing it Finally Halligan toot the goat away from Mrs. Keefe. Mrs. Keefe ap peared beiore Alderman Bichardson and swore out a warrant against Halligan, charging him with larceny. Halligan had a hcariug on February 5, and was held in 5300 bail for a trial at court. He furnished bail, and then appeared before Alderman Foley and swore out a warrant against Mrs. Keefe for perjury, alleging that she per jured herself in swearing that the goat was her property. Mrs. Keefe had a hearing yesterday, and in default of $500 bail, was remanded to jail to await a trial at court The goat was present at 'both hearings and figured quite prominently, much to the merriment ot all present. Interesting to Local Shippers. Most of the local freight agents are now in Chicago attending a meeting of the Cen tral Trafhc Association. It is expected that the recommendations of the Pittsburg com mittee about tbe bottle and skelp iron classi fications will be reconsidered. The bottle men are verv anxious to know if their product will, be returned to the third class. THE PITTSBURG, DISPATCH. THURSDAY, WITH MILITARY POMP And All Possible Honors From Citi ' zens Adjutant General M'CLELLAND IS LAID TO REST. An Immense Assemblage Witnesses the Final Ceremonies. IJIPKESS1YE EELIGI0US SERVICES The remains of the late Adjutant General William McClelland, the fearless, - ,. iranh.x and faithful soldier, were buried yesterday with military pomp and display. The funeral procession was the largest ever seen in Pittsburg, and an assemblage of probably 25,000 people crowded through the streets to witness the burial march. i The body of the dead General was taken from Samson's undertaking rooms to the Third Presbyterian Ghurch 'just across the street at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Company C, Eighteenth Eegiment, Captain W. H. Davis, acted as escort. The casket was placed in front of the altar where a truard of honor from the Veterans' Associa tions and the Eighteenth Begiment assumed charge of it. The church was empty when the remains were carried in. Following the corpse came floral tributes from soldiers and citizens. They were arranged about the casket and altar with military precision. The dead body was dressed in full uniform. On tbe left breast was arranged badges and medals of merit won while inactive service. The National Colors Conspicuous. Around the simple black casket were thrown, with easy grace, the national colors. The dead soldier's chapau and sword lie on the coffin. At its head and foot a private soldier stood with arms at "parade rest" tils guard of honor, bearing military em blems on their lapels, stood back of the two soldiers. The light in the church was subdued. The lamps burned dull and dim. A friendly ray ot sunshine streamed through one of the Cathedral glass windows and threw a mellow colored rain bow over tho military emblems on the altar. Just as the great oaken doors swung open to admit the humbled crowd assem bled to attend the religious services the huge pipe organ rang out in sweet but doleful cadences some funeral hymn. The church was soon filled. Several of the front seats were reserved tor the Governor, his Cabinet and staff, the Cham ber of Commerce, the Press Club and vari ous military organizations. A seat well back in the audience to the left on entering the church was heavily draped in mourn ing. A bar of flowers was placed across the entrance to the seat. It was General Me Clelland's pew. Shortly before 11 o'clock Governor Pat tison. his Secretarv of State. Attorney Gen eral, Private Secretary and acting Adju tant General, entered the church. They were escorted to the seats reserved for them. Immediately following them came Major General Sriowden, Brigadier Gen erals Wylie and Deckert with their staffs. Delegations from the Chamber of Com merce, Press Club, G. A. B., Loyal Legion and Union Veteran Legion followed and were seated back of the Governor's party. A Most Impressive Occasion. Every available seat in tbe church was occupied, and a quiet, deep and calm as a grave, spread over the audience. It was a solemn occasion solemnly observed. A quartet sang "Eo:k of Ages." Bev. E. P. Cowan, D. D., read the funeral service, after which Miss MavBeesleysang "Angels Ever Bright an Faird." Bev. Dr. Cowan then delivered an earnest address, in which he told in beautifully rounded periods the simple slory of General TSIcClelland's life. Bev. Dr. Biddle, chaplain of Duquesne Post 259, G. A. B., of which General Mc Clelland was a member, told the htory of the dead man's military life. Bev. Dr. Stew art, pastor of the Harrisburg church at tended by General McClelland, then de livered an earnest prayer and the services concluded with the benediction. Governor Pattison and his party ap proached the casket and took the last look at their dead associate. They then left the church. The congregation then filed by the dead soldier. Alter tbe church was cleared the churchyard gates were opened and a constant stream of people marched down one aisle and up the other for two hours. A few minutes be fore 2 o'clock the churchyard gates were closed and those in the church wree hur ried by the coffin. It was then closed and arrangements for the funeral march were made. Before closing the coffin the badges and medals were taken from the remains at the request ot his sister. Movements of the Military. From Fifth avenue and Grant street down Sixth avenue to Smithfield street tho Eighteenth and Fourteenth Eegiments and Battery B were drawn up in company front When the casket was carried from the church to "the street the Grand Army Band played a dirge and the military were orBered to "present arms." The casket was carried to Battery B's caisson and the mili tarv procession, to the music of "The Mar seillaise," moved to the cemeterv. The military led the way, followed by a fu neral wagon bearinethe floral tributes. Then followed the remains on the caisson with a riderless horse following. Honorary pall bearers from Pittsburg and Harrisburg and relatives and friends of the dead General followed, then came the Governor, his staff and cabinet, General McClelland's old Bat tery B of Lawrence county, other veterans and the stafi officers of the National Guard. It was nearly 5 o'clock when the funeral procession reached the cemeterv. The Second Brigade Band plaved "Nearer My God to Thee." Following this the Eight eenth Begiment fired a salute of three volleys over the grave. Dr. Cowan then offered a brief prayer and Dr. Biddle pro nounced the benediction. The services were very brief but impressive. S. G. Fianklin, the brigade bugler, performed the final part of the ceremony by sounding "taps," which in military life means "lights out." The casket was then placed in the vault and the assembly dispersed. It was nearly 7 o'clock when the military returned to the city. Another lot of draught horses arrived at the Arnheim Live Stock Company, Limited, at 52 Second avenue, Pittsburg, Pa. Among them are several teams which wjll weisb. from 3,400 to 3,800 per span. They have also several teams of carriage horses well hroke, some very fine trotters and pacers, 75 head of draught and pit mules, all sizes.

Charles Dally comes to the defense of the Moon township school authorities. He says the reason they have fallen behind in the matter ot salaries is that they have had a building debt weighing them down. He also says that his experience as a director proves that women teachers as a class are superior to men, at least to the young men who have taught during the last 20 years. He says that not one man in a dozen enters tbe teaching business save as a stepping stone to something else, and that very fev ever become competent teachers, while many women embrace it as a life profession and are ambitious to excel.
