AN ELEcrRIo.LIGHT TRUST.
A Suggestion That May Materially Affect the
Bidding 20 Light This City.

There il In PhiladelDhia trust that controls
all the electric lighting in the city Il recently
declared dividend of 70 cents share the par
value of each being 500, and tho selling price
$40 per share. Last October dividend of 81
per share was declared, the one of the past week
being the second in six months The trustees,
after transacting this business, considered
suggestion to form one of the largest trust deals
yet attempted. Il was proposed to
consolidate all the electric lighting companies in
the United States in q trust. so as control all
the slectric-light plants in the country. Propo-
sitione have been made 20 purchase all the GER
tifcates of the trust in Philadelphia, and there
is ample capital behind the scheme 20 carry il
out il satisfactory deal be made. It is
said that the electric lighting franchises of
erat of the large cities Of the United States have
already been absorbed by this trust syndi-
cate and the chances of the absorption of the
Philadelphia Ernst are excellent Tho scheme
does not contemplate the purchase of the fran.
chises of companies in the small towns but only
of those in such great csnters as New York,
Boston, Philadelphia aud Chicago
It 10 possible this movement may have some
effect on the bids that expected from the
sevsral companies in regard to lighting this
city. Engineer Shearer has sent statements of
what is required under the resolution passed by
the Eastern companies. Bids will be received
on three plans of lighting Tho moonlight
schedule of 1000 hours, time schedule of 2, 740
hours, and all-night lighting for every night in
the year. The territory TO be covered is about
1910 acres, in which there now 2,644 gas
and 24l vapor lights. The other
directions of the engineers communication
to the companies have been frequently referred
to. as they cover the instructions to him con-
veysd in the resolution. Among the companies
that have applied for information the

Mileage of Natnral-caas Pima.

According to the Mining Review, the total
mileage of pipes in the United States cannot be
far from 2, 500 miles, not including small pipes
for individual use. One-hfth of this quantity Of
pipe 10 laid in the city of Pittsburg The gas
wells of Pennsylvania produce from I,50O. 600 to
Isl COO 600 cubic feet day. High and low-prss-
wells are also found in Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan. Ohio and as far west as Kansas. The
total consumption of gas for 1887. as estimated
by coal displacement, was equivalent to 10, 000,-
600 tons OF coal.
The value of this coal was calculated at about
$15 SOC. 000 In 1886 the displacement was fixed
at $500, 900 tons, nearly all of which occurred
in Pennsylvania about Pittsburg. If the same
ratio of increase in displacement could be given
in 1887, that In 1886 over 1885, the amount of
Goa displaced by natural gas in 1887 should be
tons, as above, which is a reasonable estimate,
as ~ official or anthentic figures are at hand.
