AN ELECTRIC COMPANY.
Frank Daniels In a Corporation to
operate I'm Cheyenne.

The Macreon Storage Battery company
a New York organization. filed articles of
incorporation at the office of the territor-
ial secretary and county clerk yesterday.
The company is formed for the purpose
of manufacturing and operating electric
storage or other batteries, dynamo-electric
machines, motors, Instruments. lamps
and appliances, electric tramways and
carriages.
The capital stock of the corporation is
placed at $500, 900, and the trustees for
the current year are: Geo. M. Ballou,
Frank w. Stanley. Frank Daniels and
Henry B. Clifford, all of New York. The
place of business of the company in Wyo-
ming will be at Cheyenne.
The Frank Daniels whose name APP
pears above, is the comedian and the com
pany is to operate upon his recommends
ton. Daniels has visited Cheyenne sew
eral times and has always been treated
well He is charmed with the city and
has always insisted that it would become
a metropolis.

In concluding a lengthy article on the
forthcoming Cheyenne shops the Omaha
Republican says:
This may not mean that the present
shops are to be moved from Omaha, but
it does indicate that what was mapped
out and proposed by s. r. Galloway for
erecting additional buildings and estab-
fishing here permanently the principal
shops of the road has been entirely aban-
doned. The officials say that what they
propose to do at Cheyenne will in no way
affect these shops. Other parties, how
ever, who claim to have inside facts, say
that the work here will be limited en-
tiiely to repairs for the Nebraska division,
that the force will be reduced gradually
to a minimum. The best mechanics here
will probably go to the Cheyenne shops"
There is a decidedly hopeless tone in the
last few lines of the quoted paragraph.

MeIodramatIc Comedy.
New York SUM-

A union of boisterous mirth and old
fashioned melodrama was accomplished
with entire success last night at Third
Avenue theater. The result was made
possible by the well directed efforts of a
dozen actors and actresses who had been
selected with a view to individual ability,
and yet had been grouped so that the
entertainment became harmonious, if now
and then exaggerated. The vehicle for
this unusual achievement was A Chip o.
the Old Block, from the pen of Herbert
Hall Winslow, a young author, and one
Of promise. He has retained the accept
ed forms OF melodrama while departing
from the conventionality of burlesque,
and between the two the night passed
quickly and enioyably.

The grand musical entertainm ent at
the opera house this evening will intro
duce to the Cheyenne public many of the
ablest musicians and ~virtuosos formerly
identified with famous musical organiza-
tons, and Judging from the reports of the
leading metropolitan journals the concert
is to be one of the very best ever heard in
this city. Mr.. Willis Lowell, the leader
of the orchestra, who has been a pupil for
many years of the great Joachein in Ber-
lin, is said to be one Of the most accom-
plished musicians in this country, besides
being a great violin virtuoso, The con-
cert is given under the auspices of st.

EVERYBODY RIDE.
The Board of Trade Buys 1000
Street Car Tickets.
All of the Trustees Attended a
Meeting Yesterday.
Reports From the officers and
Committees.

At a meeting of the trustees of the
board of trade yesterday afternoon every
member of the directorate responded to
roll call by Secretary Stable.
On behalf of several standing and
special committees verbal reports were
submitted by the chairmen. All reported
good progress, and if the work inaueu-
rated by these committees is successfully
carried out much benefit will accrue to
the city.
On account of the illness of Mr.. John
Thomson, who represented. the English
copper syndicate operating at Hartville,
the project of locating a smelter here has
been abandoned for the present. There
will be a reawakening in this direction in
the spring. Cheyenne is the point for
that smelter, and it will doubtless be To-
Gated here. As a matter of fact a por-
ton of the machinery-sevcraIcar loads
were ready for shipment to this place
when Mr.. Thomson was stricken with
illness.
7. A. Kent said that on account of the
unsettled state of the glass market and
the disastrous results following the estab
lishment of a plant at Laramie, Cheyenne
men could not be induced to invest in glass
works.
Two members of the board are in cor
r~espondence with persons who desire to
establish a soap factory and a cracker fac
torv ~ tl.a Yn.nt Il 20 Drohah1a that
both of those staples will be produced In
Cheyenne. This point Is the best dis
tributing point in this section of the
West, and such enterprises would pay
well.
The reports of both the secretary and
treasurer were read and upon being ex-
amined by the finance committee were
found to be correct. The board of trade
has a snug capital at present and the
sum will be largely increased by the pay
ment of dues within the. next few days.
At their meeting yesterday the trustees
did a very handsome thing for the town
and the street car company. Secre-
tary Stable was instructed to pur-
chase 1000 street railway tickets at a cost
ofS50, the tickets to be eqitably dis
tributed among the members Of the
board of trade. The trustees very prop
erly agree that while it is certain hat the
line will be operated the people must be
educated to patronizing it. 1t never oc-
ours to the average Cheyenne man that
he might inst as well ride as walk.
