The Hartshorns Committee of the Reading road,

met at No. 10 Broad-et yesterday. The following
objection.?? to tho plan were presented by Isaac I..
Rice and received the hearty approval of the meet?
ing:
Piral 'l'hit the itatemenl of esrnlnga set forth in

thai the plan contemplates sn Indefinite extension
of the receivership, and make? no provision to re
?tore Hi.mpany to ?olvency; third, th?- bond?
aaaentlng to ti.?? plan are, sa soon as deposited,
affici,-i hy six contracta to which the aaaentlng
bondholders, th? committee, two syndicate?, tha re?
ceiver? and the company are parties, and the com?
mittee haa the right to enter into other contracts
which may affect th?.?? h.n.i? Thus assenting

converted Into obligation? depending for th? lr right?,
not on recorded mortgage?, bul upon those mort?
gagee a? varied by Instrument? already executed,

companying the j -?.? r? and th.ntract entered Into
by th? c. mmlttee with the receivers and th?? com?
pany, charges amounting to over 11,000,000 per an?
num are givi ? superiority over th?- aaaentlng mort?
gage and Income bonds, and other chargea to an un?
Im '? ? amount may in future In ilk?? manner be
preferred by future contracts. By this means aa?
aentlng mortgage and Incom? bonds lose their r??
apectlve prioritlea, and thus ar?? postponed to third
Income bonds, tl ft li. tha: the plan, oy considering
,,. isaeta ?,,???,??? third Income bond? not issued for
tantlal valu??, recognise? the right claimed by
the company to Issue thirl income bond.? to any
amount for any nominal consideration. Thus, the
third inc.,m?? bond? and the securities postponed to
them ar?? rendered valueie??; and as those bonds
ar?? the only Issue which can f??? Increased for the
capital requirements of the company, the destruc?
tion of their valu?? renders Impossible the recupera?

sixth, that the plan ani the contracts air?:? ly en?

The yard has a water frontage of oser 400 feet on

A NEW DISCOVERY BY THE
SHAKERS.
I'"?r mot" than a hundred years the Mount
Lebanon Shakers have studied the cultivation
? of medicinal plants, and se.ught to extract from
them th'ir healing essences. Their labor has
not been spent in vain They nave made a
discovery that will prove a Westing to mankind.
| It consists of a cordial that causes Immediate
; relnf ?n cases of indigestion The importance
j of this discovery will be apparent when we
? r.-allze that nearly nine-tenths uf all our suffer
, ings are caused by dyspepsia or Indigestion.
j Nearly every person you meet has this digestive
; trouble ln some of its varied forms?sick head
I ache, distress after eating pain and fulneas
In the chest after eating, palpitation of ths
heart, etc., are but symptoms of Indigestion. To
relieve these sufferings has been the study of the
Shakers, and they have succeeded. The reason
the Shaker Digestive Cordial has such an Im?
mediate salutary effect Is that it causes the food
eaten to b<> dlg"sted. fe?r It le undigested food
that causes the distress. The cordial causes the
food tu b?? digested b-fe>re there Is time for it to
ferment an?! sour on the stomach. When the
food Is se? digested It gives strength and vigor to
the feeble body, makes one feel bright and cheer?
ful. an?i makes one gain ln flesh.
The Digestive Cordial Is s?> prompt ln its action
that the vcy first de>se will have a perceptibly
favorable result. It gives Immediate relief.
in order to prove this statement small trtsl
bottles placed in the elrugglstH' hands, which
l'an b<> obtained for ten cents each. This trial
bottle will have a decided beneficial effect, and
will satisfy any one that the Cordial ls adapted
te? his case. After a trial give praise to the
Shakers of Mount Lebanein. iff, Y.

Denver, ?'?)!.. Dee. 12? Two speeches on bi?
metallism were deliver???! at the banquet of the
Denver Manufacturers' BxchSBga last nicht,
luv! Holmes, of Burnley, England, chairman of
th?? Parliamentary CoaBSBlttee of Trades' I'nlon
?".?tigress of the United Kingdom, speaking on the
t.?.ist. "Bimetallism anrl Wage-earners." said:
Thinking men account for present trade depree
??iein by the appreciation of colei conse<juent upon
demonetization of Bllver in 1SJ>3 ani since. If silver
is restore?! to Its former position, It will revive
trade ami commerce the world over. Public opin?
ion ln England has recently grown rapidly on the
subject, ami textile-workers and others are co?
operating with the Bimetallic Lea.g_e. Bimetal?
lism will be an Important factor at the next Brit?
ish general election In 1895. and will be a ten quee
tlon In Lancashire and other constituencies for
Parliamentary candidates.
Wharton Barker, of Philadelphia, on speaking
of "Bimetallism .and Manufactures." said, among
other things:
Professors of political science ln Great Britain,
men in the front rank in Europe and America,
favor bimetallism. The opposition comes from
money-lenders. The demonetization of silver has
contracted the world's money almost one-half, and
appreciated gold to the great advantage of the
creditor class and th?? dumage and ruin of the
debtor class. The proposed plan of bank cur
rene-y set forth in Presi.lent ?Cleveland's message
sh.eu!?! I??? <?npose?l by ever.\ citizen who has the
welfare of the people at heart. Bimetallism muit
be restore.l by independent action by America, and
can I?.? whenever the people arc determined to have
financial as well as industrial independen???; aban?
don British ivl'l monometallism, as they have done
with British free traile, whenever they know the
difference between American policy and an allea
policy.
He suggestee] that America admit silver from
Am.T.. u u mines to cniiitige upon payment et
seigniorage, absorbing three-fourths of the differ?
ence between the London nrlce and the coinage
value, and that foreign silver be admitted for
coinage at a seigniorage absorbing all the differ?
?nee between the London price and OOlBSfS.
