PRESIDENT MGLEOD TALKS ONTHE DEAL HE SAYS IT WILL BENEFIT ALL CONCERNED WILL REGULATE THE MARKET Antl Supplant 11 Spirit of Undue and Perhaps Unfriendly Competition by Xlfirmonlouft Action, AVI 1 ere by Fair Hates W1U be Maintained. AN INTERVIEW on Wednesday A. A. MoL'od, presidont of tho Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company, gave a few hints of how the re cent consolidation of tho railroad and coal business will b-i shaped for goneral benefit. Mr. McLeod said that coal cannot continue to be sold at present price; at points long distances from the mines without impoverishing everybody concerned in tho business and causing a general reduction of wages. The capital, resources and labor are now taxed as mat ters now stand, ho said.in order that distant points may be. supplied at loss than bare cost, while our own consumers along the lino of the road nocessarily pay the prices required to keep the business moving. To meet this situatiou, and to provide the natural remedy, tho principal mining and transportation companies have como to gether, and propose to supplant a spirit of undue and perhaps unfriendly competition by harmonious' action and to endeavor to establish and maintain fair and equitable rates and prices at all points which have a just and proper relation in respect to the services renderod. In connection with what has been said and written concerning the roduction of train service and tho discharge of employee on the lines, Mr. McLqod said they were exaggerated. The restriction of produc tion, he said, means fewer trains, and con sequently the suspension of a large number of men until there is a demand for coal and the mines are again working on full time Speaking further in connection with the re duction of tho force of employe the presi dent said tho public should not lose eight of the fact that it is a necessary incident, if not one of the objects of such alliances as we have formed, that many practical business economies can be effected, and that the un necessary duplication of ofEc:' and officers and salaries and supernumeraries of vari ous kinds can be done away with. This Ib now being accomplished In a measure, but nothing more. Such economies invariably produce better service at a lower cost to the patrons of the road. Speaking on tho purpose, of the alliance President MoLeod said: "Tho Impression Baems to prevail that tho alliance of those roads was formed solely for tho purpose of controlling the anthracite coal tra'Je, but that forms only ono of the many element involved. It was of the most vital con sequence to each and all of these lines to be placed in a position to meet the compe tition of tho pioat trunk lines in every re spect. Having attained this position, it will be policy to give tho public tho motl prompt and efficient servico at as low rales 89 are compatible with the service re quired, and, at the same time, to provide for the Reading's stockholders, who have waited for many years for some return upon their investment, some adequate compensation for the doiay. The Reading is naturally enough tho parent of tho coal trade. For many years sho has carried an investment of upward of ?72,000,000 at high rates of interest- without any return. This burden, accompanied by a lack of proper and timely development of her un paralleled resources, has stood in the way of her assuming her proper and natural position in the trade. Hor resources have always been sufficient to warrant tho pay ment of dividends on her stock, but they have been permitted to lie dormant while others have usurped the. place belonging to her by right of priority in the field. How that the depletion of the coal estates has reached the point whore her residuum must soon bo called upon to (furnish ton nage not only for her own but to other lines, it is both natural and proper that she should take Ihe initiative and exert a groater influence in the conduct of the business."

Wo are all more or less small boys in that respect for after all is said and done there is nothing that brings so much real enjoy ment as the circus. "Circus" is a most compreheniivo term in this connection for the Forepaugh "circus" is not only circus, which includes th great Vaidis Sisters in their double, revolving trapeze act, but it has also a genuine Moorish Circus Co., a menagerie, a museum, an aviary, an equescurriculum, a hippodrome, a groat stroet parade and a spsctacle The Fall of Ninoveh. With all those featuros, save tho spectacle, the public is already more or less familiar, and it has been like something bearing a semblance, of a spec tacle Rut, judging from reliable news paper reports, The Fall of NInovoh is a spectacle upon such a scale of real mngnifl conco and grandeur that it so overshadows prs'Ious attempts at spectacular display that it misht fairly bo sail that the real, genuino thing in the way of a spectacle has yet not boon Been. The Fall of Nineveh is the production of Rottig, tho world famous creator and originator of the great out-door exhibitions s The Fall of Babylon, Rome Under Nero and several others of that style.

Mrs, Stain, a rather good looking' Polish wo man 20 years of age, lived with her husband and infant child in Now Philadelphia. Mrs. Stain and "Charloy" Zuncs have eloped and, according to accounts, the couple are now located in or near Butto City, Montana. They left this town togethor, with Mrs Stain's baby, last Saturday. On Tuesday last Chief of Police Davis, of town, received a letter from Justice of the Peace Devino, of Now Philadelphia, asking that a watch bo kept for the woman, but, of course, the notice was three days late and the police could do nothing in the matter. An investigation by a Hkhald reportor bIiows that "Charley" Zuncs, who was at one time a saloon keeper in this town, and has figured in a like capacity in Potts vlllo the past fow years, came to this town last week and disposed of his property here. Ho was joined by Mrs. Stain and her infant child and on Saturday last the trio left town for Butte City, Montana, the baggage being shippod in tho name of "Frank Greon." Since that time nothing has been hoard of the couple, saye on an nouncement in a Pottsvilie paper that a man named Stain residing in Now Phila delphia has been desorted by his wife, who is alleged to havo carried away her infant child and some money belonging to boarders in the house.
