ONE YEAR OLD TO-DAY.
Continued from first Page.

This company was organized largely
through the instrumentality of job ii.
Jackson, of the Jackson and Sharp Com
pany of this city, and was consolida-
tion of the Woodruff and Mann Boudoir
Parlor Car Company, with the addition
of considerable new capital. The Jack
son and Sharp and Harlan and Hol-
lingsworth companies had &C
quired controlling interest in
both of the above mentioned parlor
car companies, by taking stock in the
companies as part payment for building
cars The new company was organized
in New York, and so quietly and secretly
were the arrangements made. that none
of the New York papers learned of it
until the news came from the EVENING
JOURNAL.
By the organization of the new com
pany the jackson and Sharp and Harlan
and Hollingsworth Companies secured
the contracts for building all its cars and
for making all repairs. The two local
car companies were at once given con
tracts for building seventeen cars each.
The Union Company secured franchises
for running its cars over near 5000
miles of railroad. 1t looked as if an
extensive and permanent enterprise had
been added TO Wilmingtons varied in
dustries, but early in this year the stock
of The Pullman Parlor Car Company
began to 60 up, and in a few days the
ABSORPTION of the Union Palace Car Com
pany by the Pullman Company was
announced. The stockholders in the
Union Company secured advantageous
terms. The contracts with the local car
building companies were annulled and
the prospect Of plenty of work for Will
mington car builders was destroyed.
Some claimed that the organization Of
the new company was but the prelimi-
nary step in forcing the Pullman Com
pany to make its final deal. But the
tempting offers made by the Pullman
Company to its rival were probably of
such a favorable character that the
stockholders of the Union Company
found it greatly to their advantage to
accept them. At the last annual meet
ing of the Pullman stockholders job II.
