New Yokk, Feb. 11. The late coup of
President McLeod is the greatest in the
history of railroad financiering and
makes the Reading as strong a corpora
tion as there is in the world. The gross
receipts of the Philadelphia & Reading
system will hereafter be $20,000,000 an-
nu ally, and the number of its employes
will approximate 100,000, being more
than is employed by any corporation on
tins planet. It is now plain what was
in Mr. McLeod's mind when he acquired
the Poughkeepsie bridge and the lines
tributary thereto, which, through
the Reading and its entire argumented
systems, goes into the very heart of New
England, giving it the only all-rail route
from the middle and southern states to
the east, with connections with all the
important JNew ingiana roads, and en
abling it to virtually control the coal
traffic of that entire, region. Mr. .Mc
Leod has had in this matter the hearty
support of A. J. Drexel and the banking
house with which he is connected, of
John Lawler, J. R. Maxwell and George
F. Baker And . the - New York. Cen tral

ware, Lackawanna. & Western, railroad.
the success of this combination, backed
by the strongest financial institution
this country, is assured.
Jumped Into the River.
New . Brunswick, N. J., Feb. 11.
George Baier, a prosperous German
baker, committed suicide this morning

cliffs one mile below the city and took a
plunge of 100 feet into the Raritan river.

the afternoon. Baier went to Germany
three years ago. He' was then reputed
to be a single man, but on his return he
was accompanied by a woman and three
children. The woman claimed to have
married him ten'years before. Baier's
wife admitted when the body was taken
to the house that she had frequently.
quarreled with him, and that the suicide
was doubtless the result of a. quarrel
which they had had on Sunday.
Both Want the Whalebacks.
Ddlutii, Minn., Feb. 11. Represen
tatives of St. Louis and San Francisco
syndicates are here conferring w'th the
McDougall people regarding the lines of
whaleback steamers. "The St'. Louis
syndicate anticipated the establishment
of a line to ply .between St.' Louis and
European ports by way of Mississippi
the Gulf of Mexico. The San Francisco
people are considering' a line across' the
Pacific. If the St.' Louis project goes
through, a shipyard will be established
for the construction of whale backs at or
near Cairo, at the mouth of the Ohio
river. - ;'.:;.:
Gorernor Boles' Sad Mistake.
Dubuque, la.,'. Feb. 11. Governor
Boies' silence on the 'silver question at
the Denver banquet last night is called a
fatal blunder by this evening's Tele
graph, which has been an earnest sup
porter of his claims to the presidency.
It declares that Governor Boies' availa
bility depends on -his ability to command
the support of the friends of, free silver.
Having forfeited their support at Denver
last night, he can no longer, be regarded
as a presidential possibility.

Effect of the Spots on the Sun.
San Francisco, Feb. 11. Dispatches
from the observatory at Harvard Univer
sity state that the sun Vpots are used as a
basis for the prediction of great storms
and general atmospheric restlessness on
the earth's surface. Such theory is
ridiculed by.Professor Davidson.. Speak
ing of the matter today, he said :
"It is impossible to say there can be
affinity or resultant atmospheric activity
of the earth's atmosphere. We cer
tainly have no reason to fear storms or
anything of that sort. . These solar dis
turbances are something difficult to
image. Our earth could be dropped
into one of those depressions on the
sun's surface with' no more effect than a
scuttle of coal might have if similarly
thrown in. They tried once to prove
that Indian typhoons were the result of
solar disturbances, . but they had to give,
it up, for they had no proof."
