Williamson has written to me several times asking

owners. 1t is said that Williamson has swIndled
Caldwell g. Co. to a large extent. The drafts hc
used were mailed by the Pittsburg Forge and Iron
Company in street letter boxes i'll Pittsburg and
seems probable that Williamson fished the letters
out Of the boxes. About that time there were COM

NATURE or THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN TIE COM
pANIFs-No ATTEMPTS TO DIVERT BUSINESS
FROM EACH OTHER.
Most of the gas consumers Of this city received
notice yesterday of the proposed increase i'll tho
rrce of gas after April 10. The announcement
were the complaints ma;e. especially among tho
small consumers, of the extortions of the gas com
panies. Not only have the COMPANIES agreed to
charge uniform rate for gas, but they have also
promised not TO try to get each others customers
away j. Carpenter, of the ST. Omer Hotel, WAS
given notice on Wednesday by the agent of the
Municipal Gaslight Company of the proposed i'll
crease i'll the price OF gas. When he tbredtentd 10

this was done. ;he agent told h:m that he would
not be allowed to do tins, the gas companies lad
agreed not TO interfere with each others b1Sie>S.
Charles R00nc, president OF the Manhattan vas
light Company, saId yesterday 10 a liiBt NJ re-
porter there is very iItlc to say abou; the mat
ter. The gas companies have Simply made an
agreement to charge uniform price Tor gas, ana

employed hereafter to solicit business lor any par
ticular company Anybody who wants 10 Use Gas
must select the company with WhiCh hc prefers TO
deal and no other company will try Ia secure his
business Whether such an agreement wall be kept
remains to he seen. There was no written con-
tract drawn up for the representatives, OF the COM
panlos to sign. II is simply a matter OF honor.
Oscar ZollikOiler, president of The metropolitan
Company, said that the understanding among the
different companies that they Should not Interfere
with each others business was entered into to iii
sure The keeping ND of uniform rate. IL the
panes were connecting actively for business, one OF
them would be to try to underscll the Others.
The cutting of prices was generally begun by agents

AWARD ~ ELEVATED RAILROAD DISPUTEs-DECIS-
ION IN FAVOR or THE NEw-YOEK COMPANY.
When the lease of the elevated railroads to the
Manhattan Company completed about a year
ago. the two companies paid to the Manhattan
SO, 600, 600 for the completion of the lines. The
New-YOrl Company paid Onc-thrd OF tins SUN
in cash. and the Metropolitan IN payment
on its part gave $G,O00,0 900 of its bonds The pur-
pose Of the payment was to complete tie lines ac-
COrdmg TO existing plaus and in part to equa2e the
bonded indeb pGneSs of the two companies. l. was
supposed by the officers of the Ncw-York Company
that the money would be lald out in the extension
OF the roads according TO the proportion in which it
was paid 1t appears, however, that about S75O,OO
of the money paid by the Ncw-fCIk Company was
spent on the Metropolitan Road .
Ii is said that ts' only mclnbr of the Manhattan
Board who opposed this expenditure was Benjamin
Brewster of the New-YOYk Company. HIS OppOsi-
tion was so strong that finally the matter was left
to three arhtrators to decide the prcpriety OF
the action. These were eX-Judge Dillon of New
York, Ex-Governor IngersOll, of Connecticut and
Courtlandt Palmer OF Newark, N j. Arguments
were heard by them about two weeks ago, and 1t
was then agreed that each one should submit
written opinion without consulting the others
Tie opinions were received aud read Wednesday
afternoon and they agreed in deciding that the
Metropolitan Company should repay To the
other the sum expended from the New
York Company's payment, on the metropolitan
Road. Officers of the New-York Company declined
yesterday to say anything about the decislOn
which was they said, q friendly settlement. 1t
was ntimated that If the amount should be eX-
pended now on the New York lines the Judgment
would be satisfactory. jose +. Navarro OF the
Metropolitan Company, refused to express any
opinion about the matter.

ever, that the isty-five persons that have already
agreed to take the 5000 shares will do so and that
there will be no shares available for the public.
With reference to the criticism that has been mad
that 5000 600 would not cover the cost of opera

ficient for snch q building as proposed. I've do not
