West Haven Notes.


 The praise service at the M. B. church last Sunday evening was well attended by an ap- preciative audience. The choir under the leadership of Mr. Edwin Ferry. acquitted themselves admirably. Rev Mir. Thorpe, the pastor, made short address on the impor- tance and power of music in the church and household. He also in his remarks gave illustrations of the power of music when bat ties were being fought. In war times it en- of the soldier. He related one instance about 8 bugler at the battle of Shiloh, one of the most stubborn and bleodiest of the war. The bugler went in different parts of the field and played soul stirring airs which put fresh vigor in the hearts of the worn out and most discouraged soldier boys and they fought on and won the day when defeat seemed nearly inevitable. The reverend gentleman is a very interesting and eloquent speaker. The many friends of Mrs. Geo. D. Nichols of Center street will be glad to learn that she is much improved in health. She is at pres ent in Meriden, where she went about a month ago, and the change has been greatly to her benefit.
 The borough has had some very unwelcome guests-the festive mosquitoes. They have been making their annual visit and their stay has been very annoying to our citizens, but they are leaving and it is is hoped that they are going for good, for their music is not ap- preciated.
 What is needed most now is good supply of rain; the lawns and gardens are feeling the effects of the drought.
 The West Haven Veteran Memorial asso- citation will have special meeting at the | town room in Thompson's block on Wednes- day evening and it is hoped there will be g good attendance.
 Business is very brisk in the different man ufactories in this borough for this season oi \ the year.
 | Captain Walter Thompson is at his house \ on Water street on a short vacation and hii new house that he is having built on Fi-s | avenue will be completed in Q short time.
 There were several electric lights put uI in different parts of the borough the lsttel part of last week where they were the mos
 needed, and they are highly appreciated ant it is hoped our borough fathers will keep oI | with their good work and give us some nor, light in the dark spots.

A NEW MOVE.
The Reading Strikers Attack the Com
pAny's Charter.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January 16.-The
Reading Railroad strike has assumed new
phase.
For several days there has been under
consideration by leading men in the order
of the Knights of Labor the advisability
of bringing suit by the Commonwealth
through the Attorney General against the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad and
Coal and Iron Company to compel them to
do certain things which, it is alleged, they
are Obliged TO do under their charter aud
the various privileges granted by the State.
One charge is that the companies, by re-
fusing to settle with the men, are corner
ing coal and other neceSsaries for the pur-
pose OF enhancing their values and eXoTt-
ing eXOrmtant prices from the community.
Another charge relates to the RESPONSE
hilities OF the companies as common car
rlers, II helGg alleged that on account of
the companies action men are employed
who do not give the best OF service and
whose 81 TLs result ia delay and loss to
the community. There are other charges
which have been discussed aud it is said
SOME legal proceedings will shortly be in
stiiutCi.
1t was first thought by prominent
knights, who are gathering evidence for
the purposes of legal action, that the best
way TO yet at the facts in controversy
would be by Congressional investigation,
surh IN Was ordered in the case OF the
Southwest strike 4 movement was
started To have Congress appoint a com.
mitire o. investigation upon the ground
that ruhIy interests warranted it, but
after further uuu-ilrralion it was decided

grc~aiOuu committee until the Attorney
General of the State could he heard from

GAS CONSOLIDATION
The Wheeling and West Va. Natural Gas
Companies Made One.

Yesterdays Pittsburg Dispatch contains
the following information, which will be
interesting to Wheeling people:
It is now assured that the Wheeling and
the West Virginia natural gas companies
will consolidate The conference commit
tee had another session Saturday, and
agreed upon 4 basis of consolidation, and
after few details, which are said to be
unimpOrtant, the terms will be submitted
to the boards OF directors Of the two com.
panies The capital of the consolidated
companies will be Il, 900, 900. The deal
is looked upon as OF great importance in
the gas and financial world.
The first effort toward consolidation
was made as early as last August, but such
a difference Ofopinion sprungup that nego-
tiaLiOns were dropped Immediately. The
West Virginia Company had obtained
pretty exclusive privileges for Wheeling,
except so far ~ manufacturers were con-
Cerned. The Wheeling Company put for
ward great eXertions and soon had line
to Wheeling with plenty Of gas, and they
began TO supply the manufactures, but
couldn't get much show for domestic con.
sumption.
A couple OF weeks ago the negotiations
were reOpened, and the conference commit
tees have been:in daily session, and on Sat
urday reached basis of agreement. The
capital stucl, of the Wheeling Company is
II, ,OUO, 600 and the other company little
over that amount. 1t is understood that
the basis Of settlement il a fair division be-
tween the two companies. The ronsolda-
ton will reduce the expenses considerably,
and give supply Of gas satisfactory TO all
consumers
At TaylOrstOwn the two companies con
troll 10000 acres, and the West Virginia
Company lately got hold OF a new terri
tOp, and well sunk few weeks ago
showed strong How of gas The Wheel
ing Company also has ,3On acres at Ilick-
ory and 3, 100 at Mcknight's The two
companies, long before they thought Of
consolidating, made an agreement about
the Taylorsville territory that neither
would sink more wells than was required
to give goad supply, and effected other
arrangements for mutual protection.
Both companies, by previous conditionS
were kept from supplying many people
who desired gas, but the consolidation
wipes away these difficulties, and it is uu-
deTsIood that SOME important extensions
and Improvements are to be made after the
articles are ratified.
