THAT MASTER STROKE.
President McLeod's big deal with
the Lehigh Valley, Jereey Central ami
D L. & AV. combanies lias put the
hopes of our townsmen up to a high
notch. The tidings are accepted as
the forerunner of prosperity for all
interested In and dependent upon the
Anthracite coal'trade.
Of course there are some croakers
who look upon the deal as a had omen.
They euy It Is a monopolistic move and
that none hut the monopolists will
henefltby It. Fortuuately these be
lievers are hopelessly In the minority.
All who have taken pains to Invest!
gate the circumstances surrounding
the deal and have tried to understand
what It means cannot entertain any
such Idea.
One of the main objects of the deal
Is to bring about stability in the coal
trade and uniformity In price?. This
can work no Injury to the miners.
For years agents have been making
the prices and have been sole arbiters
of the trade. They have been re
ceiving from 10 to 35 cents per ton as
commissions and in the pell-mell rush
for this revenue they have frequently
sacrificed the producing companies.
In mnny instances It has happened
that sales made y these agents have
not only netted the producing com
panies nothing, but have hardly
netted the cost of transportation.
It la not Intended that this deal
shall lead to an increased charge upon
tne public. On the contrary it Is
belieued that the consolidation will
bring about 'economies that will
prevent senseless competition aud
leave the product on the market at
prices lhat will be fair to the producer
and consumer alike. There will be no
ruinous competitions whereby the
coosumera at distant points will bo
able to purchase the coal for less than
it can be procured in Pennsylvania.
This alone is what the Anthraolte eoal
miners have been complaining of for
years and anylhlnR that tends to
remedy the evil must, necessarily, be
of direct benefit to them.

a capital of $700,0000,000 and the an
nual product of $120,000,000.
The arrangements of the deal are as
follows : The Reading Railroad Com
pany leases the Lehigh Valley Rail
road Company on a guarantee of 6 per
cent, on the stock to May 31, 0 per
cent, from that time until November
30, and 7 per cent, thereafter for a
period of 000 years. The contract
with the Central Railroad of New
Jersey Is slightly different. In cflect
this contract Is precisely the same as a
leas?, and the Reading guarantees 7
per cent, on the stock for a period of
009 years. The Reading Rullroad
Company has leased to a New Jereey
corporation the Port Reading Roll
road Company. The Reading Coal
and Iron Company has secured con
trol of the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany. Til lit acquisition of the Rtad-
lng Coal aud Iron Company was
made through a lease aud stock ar
rangement. The control of the Dela
ware, Lackawauna & Western Rail
road Company has been purchased by
the new friends of the Reading, who
are said to have an absolute control of
the majority of the stock, who will
elect a Board of Directors and take
I possession of the company at the an-'
nual meeting, which is to he held on
February 23. TiSt Reading Company
also agrees to glvene-half of the sur
plus earnings above iqe guaranteea
dividends to the Lehigh Valley and
Jersey Central companies up to 10 per
cent., after which the Reading Com
pany returns all the profits which
may be named.
During the past year the Lehigh
Valley Company earned over 6 per
cent, on its capital stock, the' Jersey
Central 101 per cent, and the Dela
ware, Lackawanna & Western 10 per
cent. All good-paying companies.
With all these companies consolidated,
a control of 80 per cent, of the $120,
000,000 annual production, consolid
ated offices, reduced number of officers,
and other employes, a joint business
of marketing the product, the abolish
ment of the farcical coal pool and the
saving of from 10 to 3) cents per ton
now going to reckless, grasping agents,
the Reading company should be able
togtt along pretty well under the
deal. It is believed that on the
estimated production of 42,000.000 tons
for 1892 from $1,200,000 to $10,000,000

can be saved be the curtailing of
commissions and con'ceBslons.
President MeLeod hiuts at the
future policy of bis company. He
says unnecessary mining and the
construction of useless road will be at
un end. The mining of coal will
henceforth be done under the most
economical managenlent possible.
Good mlues will be worked hi the best
possible manner and unprofitable
mines will bo abandoned.
The careful observer must admit
that the Reading company is now in
the hands of a Napoleon. President
MeLeod is lifting it steadily fioui the
mire aud eru long he w ill have it in
the ranks of the best paying corpora
Hons of tho country,' and When the
Heading becomes a paying Concern
we amy count upon it that its cm
ployes will not be left.
GOOD RIDDANCE.
The destruction of tho Hotel R'yal
in New York was not only a good
riddance and, but for the lives lost, a
public benefit. Otherwise New York
could have congratulated herself on
the destruction of a crazy old tray
where morality fell far below par,
Among the many guests who are re
ported "mlsBing" the larger propor
lion will never be found. They are
dead, to far as their connection will
the fictitious names inscribed on the
hotel register is concerned. The char
ucter of the Hotel Royal may be tstl
mated from ths fact that on the night
of the fatal fire there were six score of
guests aud only three tiunks in the
bugguge-room. When the sleepers
we're rudely aroused there was some
thing more than death staring many
of them In the face. There was dis
grace, a tarnished name, and peihaps
a wrecked household. This explains
why thero was such a sudden disap
pearance of those who were lucky to
escape from the fire trap. It also ex
plains wffy the list of the missing is
not decreased or is not likely to be de
creased unless by chance'.

recently paid a visit to Mahnnoy City, and
whilo thoro called upon ono of tho fair

strong attachment for this particular young

time. After spending a pleasant evening
in thi company of this lady, and when
the time for departure had arrivtd, our

a doslro to do "the grand," gave his fail
entertainer to understand that her pres

beyond expression. Having never mot the
young man previous to that evening, she
was doubtful about boing able to recogniz
him should she decide to accept his invita

particular young man takes great pride in
tbo manner in which he dresses his hair.
AVith this fact in view, he replied to the
