Mr. Havrity was accosted by a number of nowspaper men, but ho steeied clear of all subjects having a political tendency, and declared that his visit was purely of a business charactor. Mr Harrity admitted to a Herald reporter that the object of tho visit was to hurriedly glance over tho electric railway lines now operated in this region and get some idea of tho field for extending all lines, Mr. Harrity alto confirmed what tho Ilra ali) stilled immediately after tho purchase by tho Philadelphia syndicatowas announced, that tho new deal will result in ono of the greatest electric railway developments of the ago. When tho failure on Saturday of tho Phil adelphia iron firm in whicli tho Bailoys are interested was spoken of a member of the party stated that it would in no wise impair the Schuylkill Traction Company's business or plans. Tho syndicate will assumo charge of all the lilies nud all extensions which have been contemplated so long will ho put through as tiist as capital and labor can push them.

Like the enterprising merchant who failed in business every whipstich and made a fortuoo every time, tho great corporation which carries our wealth to markot is again in tho hands of Iloelvers and will do well by it. Tho Reading always comes out of its troubles tho gainer and fortunately our peoplo lose nothing. Those who may loso are the overly-sharp and would-bo smart finan ciers who call in loans suddenly in tho en doavor to swamp tho borrower, with a view of utterly crippling the compiny and use it to tho advantage of rival3. Fortunately the Reading had a brainy man at the helm in Mr. McLood, and it was a coup worthy of a Napoleon that placed tho company again in Receivers hands with Chief Justice Paxsou and President Wilbur, of tho Lehigh Valley, as co-rocoivors. Tho trio, McLeod, P.ixsou and Wilbur, will put tho company on its foet again in a very short tiwouud what was first feared as a disaster will be hailed us a bless ing. As a community our interests lio with tho Philadelphia & Iteading Company, and overy man, woman and child in Schuylkill county should stand by it. There is room for two mammoth railroad corporations iu this Commonwealth, and thoro should, and will, soon come an cud to their clashing and rivalry. O0P. NEW JDOE. It is stated on very good authority that tho appointee for the place of tho lato Judgo Green will be Hon. James B. Roilly. All along it has been rumored that Mr. Roilly could havo tho position if he wanted It, and now wo are told hu has decidod to accept it. This means that ho has made up bis mind to say good byo to political aspirations forever and settle down. Ho will, of course, resign his seat in Congress just whon ho could have been of much service to his people and he will endeavor to retain the many friends ho has made iu nnother sphere of usefulness. Can he do it? Can he bo elocted noxt fall to a position for which he was twice defeated? Is he not killing tho goose which laid the goldon egg? are questions which nro all apropos just now. Mr. Rellly for Congress and Mr. Reilly for Judgo are two vastly dlQ'erent things, and many of his warmest supporters aro beginning to wall over what they call his ml'judgmeut in deciding to leave his pro6cnt field of usefulness for one in whioh it is feared he canuot remain. Of course, I don't agree with all that is uttered against Mr. Rellly by his nearest friends. .There is something to commend in his choice. He has battled with adversity all his life. He has beon elected five times to Congress after re peated close encounters whicli were expensive, and he should not be called down because he electa to get a berth which will be free from bi-ennial strifes and which will give him a chance to make himself acquainted again with his chosen profession. He will have to weather the storm of one fierce battle next tall and if he succeeds he W fixed for life, be cause he will make a good Judge and a popu lar one. Mr. Koch made a gallant fight and had the Governor oIiomu to appoint a Republican it would have been your candidate of last year.

Tho rumors. Tho snow storms and heavy drifts woro responsible. Messrs. Kearns & Egan, the contractors, say tho connecting link could be completed if they had ten days of good woathor. Tho new deal will prove one of the best arrangements that have yet beon made In connection with the development of electric railway lines in this section, as It will give it ample financial backing and prestige for all purposes. Assurance is glveu by somo parties who seem to have an idoa of what tho policy will be nnder the now arrangement that within a very short timo attention will bo given to tlio perfection of the routes in town and tho extension of the lino to Mahanoy City. It is said that lines will bo extended down East Centre and East Coal streets and may probably be necessary In tho near future to stablish a power house iu or very iient Shenandoah. Tho gentleman who spoke of tho town ex tensions said ho also beliovcd that the deal might ultimately involvo negotiations for tho control of the Lakeside pleasuro resort prop erty; that in sddition to tho revenue from tho placo in tho summer season after tho various projected olectrio linos aro completed the syndicate may find the placo very suitable lor n source of power by water. It is also hinted that tho syndicate may eventually develop as a distributor of power of illuminating tho many owns along its lino. There is little doubt that the deal will ultimately result in one of the largest olec trio locomotion undertakings in the country and that it will affect facilities for ttnvol in Schuylkill, Northumberland, Columbia, Luzerne, Carbon, Lehigh and Northampton counties. Major Hamilton, manager of the SUamoldu Electric Railway, stated to the Shamokin. Council Wednesday ovoning, before whom ho appeared in tho interest of the company, that his road will connect with the Schuylkill Traction Company at Locust Gap, which. would make a continuous lino from Potts vilie and Shenandoah to Shamokin. The now road will run through Maizeville, Frackville and connect with the Schuylkill Electric road at Port Carbon. Major Hamilton also represents a syndicate, which a few days ago secured a eharter for an. electric road to run from Shamokin to Dan ville, via Elysburg, and is proeident of the couipauy. Capt.
