THE BEADING DAXLTT TIMES DISPATCH, READING, PEIWA. With a Good Plteher In the Boi RdiOf lrears Hone in tne iMifu. Welcome Mr. Jones! You are the gen tleman we have been looking for for weks; nay, ever since Reading entered the State League. We appreciate your good work, onr only regret is there were not more of onr brethren present to witness the first game for weeks in which Heading took an active part.

It was good game, marked with heavy hitting and sham heldtng, which at times was oni liant. Johnstown had Nevens in the box. a Southern Leaguer, but he only lasted seven innings, ihe locals finding bim Die. Joe. ftulvev gave ns an ex hibition of how he earned the title of "king of third basemen" by making five beantixul stone of hard hit balls followed by clean line throws to second and first.

The fielding was good throughout, barring the nst inning, which has always been the case when the home team had a win ning pitcher in the box. Ihere is no disputing it. we have a good club now. one that is able to cope with any in the league, and although it is ratner late. they may yet make a fair showing in percentage before the season closes.

Both clubs play again this afternoon. THE SCOKE. BEADISO. I JOHS8TOWS. HPOAK: RHFOAX 12 2 1 Smink.rf.cTO 2 2 16 8 10 3 8 ljZeahold.lf.2 1 1 3 8 0 OCote.c 0 1 5 2 8 1 urtman mO 0 1 1 1 0 4 2 ft 0 1 2 4 i OLvons.

Orders have been issued by the Treasury Department to all 8 rea.su ries to pay out gold over the counters the same as other classes of money. The effect of this is to practi cally place the gold reserve among: the available Treasury cash assets. As a re sult the gold balance has been somewhat reduced, being sligb tly below $100,000, 00O. The net Treasury balance is $11, 750,000. Receipts continue light and expenditures heavy, so that before the month of August expires the Treasury balance and the gold balance will both probably be lower than now.

IN A RECEIVER'S HANDS. The Bridge System Placed Under the Protection mt ttx OonrU. Pheladelphia, Aug. 21. It was learned in this city to day that a Receiver bad been appointed on Saturday for the Philadelphia, Keading and New England Railroad by Judge Pratt, of Brooklyn, upon application made by the Guarantee Trust and Safe Deposit Company of Philadelphia, which is the trustee of the first mortgage upon the pro perty, xnis roaa is oetter known as the Poughkeepsie Bridge system and the Receiver appointed is James K.

O. Sherwood, of Brooklyn, who acted in a simi lar capacity prior to the reorganization of the system under me title it now bears. The technical ground for the Receiver ship, as stated in the application made by the trustee, was the default in the payment of the interest npon the first mortgage bonds, neither the May nor the August coupons having yet been paid. This interest is guaranteed by the Reading Railroad Company, which baa operated the Ponghkeepsie Bridge system since its reorganization, and the ReadingRecei vers assign an a reason for its non payment that it has not been earned. As is well known, the greater part of the moneyto build the Poughkeepsie Bridge was furnished by Pbiladelphians, aud nearly all the bonds of the Philadelphia, Reading and New England Com pauy are held in this city.

One of the gentlemen interested in the property said to day that the appointment of a receiver had been asked for in order to prevent an attack being made upon the property through the medium of the Courts by outside that under the receivership the property would be operated to the best advantage and the interests of all concerned conserved. The Reading Receivers signified their assent to the Receivership proceedings several days ago, and for the present at least the relations between the Reading aud the Bridge system will continue as in tne past, in some quarters, However, it is thought that the Receivership is only a prelude for some new arrangement, nnder which the Philadelphia, Reading and New England will be jointly operated by two or three of the larger companies, of which the Reading may or may not be one. Ihe Reading Receivers have promised to furnish the bondholders with a statement showing the financial results of the operation of the system during the last fiscal year, which ended June 30, and the statement will probably be forthcoming within a lew days. It is understood that Mr. Sherwood has already qualified as Receiver and has assumed control of the property.

'Ihe Philadelphia, Reading and New England Railroad Company is the result of a reorganization and con solidation ot the Pouphkeepsie Bridge Company and tne (Neutral wew England and Western Railroad Company, l'he line ot the latter extends from Campbell Hall to Silvernails, in New York, 53.04 miles, which, together with the Hartford and Connecticut Western railroad, extending from rJarttord, to Khineiocfc, in. 109.75 miles, and trackage of 1.25 miles over tne Newburgb, Duchess and Connecticut, gives it a total trackage. exclusive of sidings, of 164.04 miles. The company was formed through the con solidation of the Hudson Connecting and the Poughkeepsie and Connecticut Railroad Companies, July 22, 1889. It was consolidated with the Poughkeepsie bridge company early in AMUSEMENTS.

The troubles growing uuk ui tue ug ting oeiween rencn and Italian workingmen employed at the salt works in Aignes Mortes, France. threaten to involve grave international complications. It is not in Borne alone that the popular indignation at what the Italians consider a gross breach of international comity is hndmg vent in demonstrations that are evidently intended to coerce the Government into demanding an apology from France for the attack npon Italians and the pay ment oi an indemnity so compensate tne inmuiea oi i ii off wno were killed. Riots directed aicainst French men have occurred in many of the provincial to ns, and the situation is con sidered exceedingly grave. The most serious outbreak of popular leeung against tne rencn occurred in this city late last night, when a hooting uuu biempia jaj ourn me rencn tL.ui oassy.

The rioters, however, attempted to carry out their threats to burn the Em bassy notwithstanding the presence of the soldiers. Tbey were ordered to perse, but refused to do so, whereupon me somiers cnargea upon them. The mob beld their ground ior time and fougnt stubbornly.

It was not until several charges upon tnem were made that they began no retreat, ngnting ail tne time, ortv five of the rioters were arrested. Many of tne mop wno were at tne forefront ot the fighting were wounded bv the sabres that the soldiers used unsparingly. The noting in the provincial towns was only quelled by the use of troops, the police being utterly powerless to handle the mob. Further developments are anxiously awaited. RECENT ELECTRICAL DEVICES.

IN VACATION DAYS. Many Children Who To Not rind Health In Simply CmiIdc from Stndy In the Summer The Cim of A. H. Chandler's Daughter. Enthusiastic parents praise Paine's celery compound; their feeble daughters and sons gain weight and color by using it.

Children upon whom the duties of school rest heavily and who do not find KLIZA. OUACB CHANDLER health in simply taking a vacation, should take Paine's celery compound. Alfred H. Chandler, of Bellefonte, writes to the proprietors of this great remedy My daughter is to day as well as she ever was in her life, but I believe that if we had not got Paine's celery compound for her that she would not be here with us to day.

She was attending school, but got 'run down and her illness developed into what the doctors said rheumatism and rheumatic fever. Eerv one said she could not live. I employed three doctors, but they gave her no re ief. I read about Paine's celery com pound in a paper one day. I believed would help her, so 1 went down town and got a bottle of the compound and hurried home and commenced giving it to her according to directions.

Hy the time she had taken half of the bottle she was able to sit up in bed, and by the time she had need four bottles she was tree irom pain. We continued to use the compound. When we began she was nothing but a shadow.
