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,

Fish Warden Hague has received word of
quite a number of people along the Ohio

count of the strict law they are nervous
about having them in their possession, but
fear to give them up to.the Warden, think

Concerning this the Warden said last night:
"Those who turn their seines over to me

Thinks Women Teachers Are Beit.
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.
