THE TELEPHONES,

PRELIMINARY PLAN OF CONSOLIDATION.
The actual consolidation Of the Uuion (BelI)
and American District telephone corporations
will probably not be accomplished for some
weeks yet. The plan embraces the forma lon
Of new company, which Is to buy out both Of
the old companies, the stockholders in each re-
ceiving propordonate share Of stock in the
new corporation. This plan will undoubtedly
bo adopted. but no organization has yet been
etertci. For a Lime after the consolidation the
company will use the separate Switch boards and
general offices, IS ut present. Both Telephones
will be used, and j uniform system Of calling
will be adopted, So thnt the sender may use one
style Of instrument and the receiver another.
Duplicate lines will be absorbed aud Il single
inStrumen: substituted.
The radical chauge will be inaugurnted in the
outlying district offices, and the work gradually
carried dow town. Subscribers will expert
et;ce no trouble, and the change, which will not
come for some time, will Simply give them
the benefi, OF the exchange lists Of the
other company. What style Of instrument will
be ulti niately adopted has not yet been decided,
as the number Of Instruments now in use will
necesstate the using Of both systems for some
time to come. Each company now has about
1.GUt telephones In use, and they will prefer,
naturally, to have these worn out before new
ones are substituted No time h1s been fixed
when the consolidation will be effected, aud
meanwhile new contracts will be refused except
in cases where there is possibility Of duplica-
ton Of Lines.

REMOVAL.


One of the Institutions of Our City.
For several weeks past; the sound Of the
hammer has been heard and gangs of me-
chanics have been seen going in and out at
Nos. II and 10 Madison street. opposit Nc
Vickers Theatre. This has been prepara-
tory to the OCCUPANCY of the building by the
Metropolitan Business College, formerly on
State street The College is remarkable for
its growth, and had simply outgrown its old
clothes, hence removal became absolutely
necessary consequent upon this Increase. a
long lease has been secured, and the SCHOOL
is now permanently located IN the very heart
Of the business district. The new quarters
are very large and we'll llghted, and
are fitted up with every convenience, SO
that the college can now boast Of the finest
rooms of any similar school in the United
States. As to the work of the college, a
single instance illustrates: 4 young man on
South Water street attended the evening ses-
sions three months, wien he found that lie
could earn as much III half Il day as he pre-
yiously did in..an entire day, and not at rolling
barrels, either. He now attends the day
school forenoons and earns his wages III the
afternoon. 1t is not too much to say that 50
per cent in value was thus added to the
whole life Of that young man. The moral is
obvious, aud young .nen should act accord
iugly.

Realf, wife Of Richard Realf, deceased, the
poet-journalist Of Pittsburg, commenced
suit for libel to-day against J. B.
Lippincott s. Co., the well-known pub
fishers Of Philalelphls. She claims $50. 600
damages. TIE alleged libel complained
OF appeared in an article in Ldpptncott's
Maguzine, which gave history of Realf and
dealt largely with his domestic life and
trouble. The sketch was written by Erastus
Johnson, and, among other things, it speaks
Of Realf being bound to moral carcass,
meaning the plaintiff. 1t alleges thatshe was
a woman Of the town when Rea1f married
her, and paints her in the blackest colors as
domestic fury and 4 Meg 3ferrilics. She
has no synpathizers here where it's believed @

SIOUX SUPPLIANTS.

The Majority OF North rn warriors
Surrendered - Sitting - Bull Sure to
Follow.
FoRr BuFoRD, D. T., Feb. S.-The surren-
der of Sitting-Bu1ps followers is almost
completed fact. The large body Of hosttles
which came to this side of tile line under
Sitttns-Bull, and which has been for some
little time encamped on the Porcupine, a
tributary Of the Missouri River, fually.
through the influence Of the scout Allison,
reached Poplar River on Jan. 81, and will
arrive at this post on Feb. l. It is camping
about thirty miles from here tonight. The
band numbers between $50 and 400 souls
men, women, and children, and is under
the leadership Of Chiefs Crow-Klng, Good
Bear, Big-Skirt, Long-Dog, and Black-Eagle.
The latter is one of the h0stiles who was
sent down BY Gen. Miles in 1876 to the Chey-
enne Agency, from whence he subsequently
escaped. They are under the escort OF Maj. 7.
B. Devices, Second Cavalry. with his COM
pany, and are still armed and have with
them their ponies and lodges, The formal

line. Tile proposition Of Mai. llges to pro-
coed to the. line and demand his surrender
from the Canadian authorities has not yet
been replied to from Washington. In addi~
tion to these hosti!es. who are coming in,
the influence Of Allison has caused the
surrender OF one OF the most dangerous
Chiefs the Sioux have ever had, named
Low Dog This Indian, with his pe0~
pie, withdrew FROM Sittmg-BulVs lead
ership when that Chief talked Of sur
rendering last fall, and refused to leave
Canada. He is the Indian Of whom Maj.
1lges spoke in his dispatch Of Jan. 10 to Zen.
Terry as follows: ''Low Dog, the Indian
who was reported killed last fall between Par
nelps Station and O'Fatlon Creek, lis believed
to be with Sitting-Bull, and is doubtless exer
cislng bad infuence.' The circumstances
which forced the surrender now OF this
Indian aud his followers are simply want,
hunger, and colt. He arrived at Poplar
Creek on the same day that the Indians un-
der Crow King CAME from Wolf Point and
delivered himseif up to Mai: 1l9es with the
request that lie might be sent to Fort Buford.
His coming in leaves Sittlng-Bull the only
hostile Sioux Chief now at large, and there
can be but little doubt that he will soon grow
weary of his solitude and come in to join his
friends at Fort Buford. He may possibly
have a desire to be the last one to surrender,
thinking it will increase Ills fame and repu-
tatiou.
