General Passenger Agent, 20 Cortland* street, New York- READING GETS LEHIGH VALLEY Former Road Is to Domi nate Hard Coal Trade. Positive Announcement Is Made That the Plan of Consolidation Has Been Agreed To. The report which has been current in financial circles for ten days, that a deal is on foot to turn control of the Lehigh Valley over to the Reading Company, received a more definite shape yesterday. It was declared that the First National bank, of New York, which has been buying Reading stocks representing powerful interests seeking to control It, is also engineering the reported Read ing-Lehigh Valley deal. There is now said to be a pool comprising 340,000 shares out of the 808,820 shares of Le high Valley stock outstanding. This pool includes the stock, 100,000 shares, bought by Drexel-Morgan interests from the Packer estate. Several months since this stock was di vided into four blocks between the Erie, the Lackawanna, the Reading and the New York Central. When the Reading bought control of the Jersey Central it virtually increased its call on Lehigh Valley stock to 80,000 shares. The plan, as outlined yester day, is to let the Lehigh Valley, which, in view of the peculiar distribution of the stock outside of the pool among in numerable small holders, is considered enough to insure a safe control. The purpose of the scheme is that the Reading shall absolutely dominate the hard coal trade, and that the Pennsyl vania Railroad, controlling, as it now does, the soft coal business, shall agree to maintain freight rates at a point which will prevent bituminous from in fringing on the legitimate market for anthracite. Jingle of the Bells. Mr. and Mrs. John Powell, who were married at Scranton on Saturday, have taken up their residence at Upper Le high. Upon their arrival here on the 9.30 Lehigh Valley train yesterday morning they were met at the station by a handsome carriage and spanking team to convey them to their home. The carriage and horses were decorat ed with strings of sleigh-bells, cow-bells and other noise producers, ail of which were concealed from the bride and groom until the carriage started towards Upper Lehigh. As the vehicle passed through town it attracted a great deal of attention, the jingle of the bells serving to bring it to the notice of eyery person on the streets at that hour. Mr. and Mrs. Powell thoroughly en joyed their unenviable position and ac cepted the joke in the manner which the perpetrators intended. False Alarm of Fire. Several persons noticed considerable smoke in the vicinity of St. Anthony's Italian Catholic church on Wednesday evening, and without making a proper investigation raised the crv of "fire." This was heard by Timothy Iloyle, who hurried to Box 32 and sent in an alarm. An unusually prompt response was made by the members of the Citizens' Hose Company, and two carts and the truck were out and on their way to the supposed fire when the news was re ceived that the alarm was not war ranted. The seen was due to the church sexton lighting a fresh lire in the furnace, to heat the building for next morning's services. Lost Money Found. Irvin Smith, an employe of the D. S. & S. Railroad, while on his way to his home on North Washington street after receiving his pay last week, lost a 320 bill.
