Reading Railroad Com'
pany who are supposed
to be In a position to
rccoivo Important In
sido information that
tho roceivershlp will
terminato beforo tho
closo of Slay. Among
tho reports is ono that a plan for the
rehabilitation of the company has been
prepared and Is not in tho nature of a re
organization, but provides for tho infusion of
now capital without disturbing tho present
securities of tho company. Tho plan has
been endorsed by tho counsel for tho general
mortgage bondholders and is now being con.
sldercd by tho Reading Board of Managers
and preference incorno bondholders.
Tho plant is to mako a new issuo of bonds
fo r $30,000,000. Theso bonds are to bearO
per cent, interest and to bo a lien after tho
general mortgago bonds and ahead of the
incomo bonds. They aro to bo offered to the
present security holder at 05. A syndicate
has been mado up to take thoso not subscribed
for. Soveral days ago subscriptions to tho
syndicate to tho amount of $10,000,000 woro
Becurod, and on Tuesday thoy were increased
by $17,000,000, making tho total $27,000,000,
No diiliculty was anticipated in obtaining
subscriptions for tho remaining $3,000,000,
Tho largest subscribers to tho syndicato are
Drcxol & Co., of Philadelphia, and Droxol
Morgan & Co., of New York. Tho bonds,
sold at 85, would realize $28,500,000. Tho
floating debt of tho Reading Company
$18,uuu,ouo, aim It would therefore bo pro
vided with $10,500,000 of working capital.
Tho bond issuo would obvlato an extensive
reorganization and would render unnecessary
the use of receivers' certificates upon tho
plan which was originally suggested by the
bondholders.
There is every probability that tho plan
will bo ready to bo presented to tho meeting
of tho board of managers on Wednesday
next, which will bo tho first meeting under
tho new management. If the plan meets
with tho approval of the security holders, as
is confldensly expected by its authors, tho
attempt to raise money by issuing Receivers'
certificates will be finally abandoned.
President-elect Joseph S. Harris will

It was necessary to dismiss the class in tho
High School room yesterday on account of
parts of the ceiling falling. The ceiling
suffered considerably from water when the
building was set on fire sonio weeks ago by a
defective Hue. It was thought temporary
repairs would pull it through to tho end of
the term, when the board intended to make
permanent repairs, but it now looks as if tho
whole ceiling will have to como down beforo
the room can bo occupied with safety.

Where aro you going this summer? You
havo not decided yet? You'ro going to tho
World's Fair, of course 1 Let us mako a
suggestion. You can spend more or less time
on tho way as you desiro, if you go to Chicago
by water routo from Buffalo, which city can
bo reached with convenience from tho an
thracite region by way of either tho Phila
delphia & Reading, Lehigh Valley or Penn
sylvania railroads. Tho steamers leave
Buffalo every evening.
Your steamer will arrivo in Cloveland at 7
o'clock standaid tirno tliu following morning.
Your breakfast will bo sorved early enough
for you to eat it leisurely beforo arriving if
you wish it. Tho steamers runs up tho river
to tho foot of St. Clair St., ono of tho
principal city thoroughfares, adjacent to all
depots, steamboat landings and street cars.
At 10 o'clock ono of tho Detroit & Cleveland
Stoam Navigation Company's steamers leaves
for Detroit, and nothing is more delightful
than this water trip. This would leave you
throo hours to look ovor Cloveland. A great
deal can bo dono in thrco hours. Half an
hour's rido on tho Euclid avenue cars will
carry you out through the best part of tho
city, most of tho distanco along tho world
famed Euclid avenue, to Lako View
cemetery, whero stands the tomb of Presi
dent James A. Garfield. The monument is
full of the product of tho highest art. This
can bo looked over thoroughly in an hour, so
that thcro is a margin of an hour for any
Incident or accident that may involvo loss of
time. Wo assumo that you wish to seo this
placo of national interest first of all, but
Cleveland's attractions are worth a much
longer, stay in that city. This is easily
feasible, if yon havo only ono day to spare,
as another Detroit & Cleveland boat leaves
for Detroit at 10 p. m. dally.

Fortunately the horse was walking. Tho

nothing In particular. Tho horse stepped
over tho child without injuring it aud the
front wheel of the wagon barely passed the
infant's head. Tho driver did not know tho
child was under tho wagon until tho oxcited
peoplo on the pavement attracted his attcn
tiou. Ho stopped tho horso just as ono of
the hind wheels of the wagon struck the
child's head, but did uot pass over it. Tho
injury inflicted was slight. Of course the
parents wero very much excited, but they are
equally censurable with the driver for not
keeping the child oft tho street.
