The Western Union Negotiating For the
Rapid Telegraph Company.

NEW YORK, July Considerable at
tention has been paid in Wall street to ru.
mors concerning the leasing OF the Ameri.
can Rapid Telegraph company by the
Western Union company. 1t Is stated
that the Western Union company IL
willing TO assume control OF the
lines Of the other company pro-
vidingit can make an advantage
GUS contract. Some Of the Rapid direc-
tors have informally expressed them
selves in favor OF executing long
lease of their lines to the Western Uu-
ion in consideration of 81 per cent. annual
interest on their capital stock OF So, 00O, 900,
and providing also that the Western Union
company will assume the obligations OF the
leased company. Some difference Of
opinion upon this subject prevails among
the officers of the Rapid company. The
officers OF the Western Union company
deny that any official proposition has been
made relative to leasing the Rapid COM
pany's property, but there Is reason to
believe that some Of the leading directors
OF the Western Union are In favor Of
acquiring control Of the lines Of the smaller
company. They are unwilling to assume
the obligations Of the latter, but
think that the Western Onion can afford to
guarantee at least three and half per cent.
on is capital stock. The Rapid company
now has more than IA. 900 miles Of completed
wire. Vice. President May, whose Office is
in this city, said Wednesday that he was not
prepared at present to give any information
about the proposed lease. The executive
committee Of the Western Union met Wed
nesday, and among the disectors who at
tended were General Eckert, Jay Gould,
Cyrus W. Field and Russell Sage. The
subject OF leasing the Rapids lines was dis
cussed, but the officers subsequently de-
clared that nothing was done.

firm put on bids on three buildings,
for which they had prepared plans, aud
were successful in two instances, the Chtca.
20 aud St. Louis buildings. The witness
denied that there had been any corruption
between Hill and the firm OF Bartlett,
Hayward a. Co. 1t was not true that the
firm had received any undue or unfair In 1.
formation to aid them In contracts.

Lose BRANCH, July l2.-The couple
In the parlor car whose movements are ex-
citing the greatest interest here-Mrs.
Langtry and Mr.. GebharIt -breakfasted
together this morning at 1850 o'clock.
The agent sent In search OF Mrs. Langtry's
trunks Wednesday returned with them tri-
umphantly yesterday evening and rushed
Immediately 10 the car TO acquaint Mrs.
Langtry with the good news. Although
Mr. Beswlck, Mrs. Langtry's secretary,
had engaged room No. % at the Central
hotel, near the depot, for Mr.. Gebhardt
yesterday at the rate Of $40 day, and the
latter's baggage was conveyed thther, he
remained In the car all night, evident
ly preferring bis novel house
on wheels to the more prosaic
hotel apartments. This morn
ing Mr.. Beswick registered the names Of
Mr.. Gebbardt and servant. II was shortly
after eight O'Clock in the morning when the
first signs Of life within the car were obser-
vable. The curtains Of one OF the windows
were suddenly drawn aside, the blinds
raised and Mrs. Langtry made her appear
ance, her long hair streaming down her
back. She seated herself by the window,
her elbow resting on it, while her maid
dressed her hair. Shortly afterwards Nr.
Gcbhardt emerged from the car door and
after rubbing his eyes aud looking around
as il wondering where be was, crossed over
TO the Central Hotel, returning, however,
almost Immediately to breakfast. The
breakfast scene was an attrac.
tive one and was performed before
quite an audience OF villagers
and visitors al the Branch, who had assem-
bled at the platform opposite, until
MR.. GEBHARDT SUDDENLY AROSE,
and with an angry jerk, evidently annoy ed
that some one was looking, pulled down
the blinds. Mrs. Langtry rceIined at
breakfast In luxurious arm chair, the
crimson satin cushions.of which were en-
broidered with the initials l.. L. and F. &.
entwined in monogram OF gold. She was
attired in dainty white swiss muslin worn
over blue head, and her prettily slipper I'd
feet were clad in blue silk stockings. Mr..
Gebhardt sat opposite to her In an easy
chair covered with gray fur.
Later in the day carriage drove up and
Mr.. Gebhardt appeared with a soip.box in
his hand. He placed the box on the ground
So that Mrs. Langtry would not be com
PEELED to mp from the car. They drove
10 the west end bathing ground, where
Mrs. Langtry went bathing, she wore a
white flannel costume with a jaunty little
cap Of the same material. There we're few
people about when she entered. but no one
seemed TO recognize her for some time.
Mr.. Gebhardt stood by smoking a cigar
and appeared rather impatient. He hurried
her into the carriage as soon as she emerged

CARRIED AWAY,
GE RIM Y.

LONDON, July l2.-The North German
Gazette u Berlin quotes letter from Sar-
gent, the American minister, In which he
states tina: Germany's pretense that the in
terdIction OF the importation Of American
pork was owing to sanitary reasons, 10 be.
coming the ihinnest veil. The Gazette In
reply TO the assertion Of Sargent, repro
duces an article from a Cincinnati paper, In
which II Ia declared that half the lard man
utactured In Americs consists OF cotton seed
oil, tallow and clay. A Times correspond
cnt at Berlin says II Ia believed that the
German government has now found the
long.sought pretext for favoring native lard
by prohibiting imports from America. The
justification by the North German Gazette
OF the introduction Of the importation Of
American pork by alleging that American
lard Is impure is n characteristic example
OF the reasoning Of that paper.
