Norsbside Railway Consolidation.

The long -talked-of consolidation of the Pitts
burg. Allegheny and Manchester and the Pleas
ant Valley street railway systems seems to be
more Of a reality than many people think. An
officer of one of these companies in converse
tion on the subject yesterday remarked: 81
think consolidation will be the outcome of the
agitation-not because the companies have any
particular love for each other. but as a matter
of mutual interest. 1t would. by practically
monopolizing Northside territory, go far to shut
out competition. The companies would do as
much or more business than If acting separate
ly. ana do it cheaper. for they could dispense
with great many costly things-a number of
high-priced employees. for instance. One power
house would be sufficient for the consolidated
system. This would be great saving"
The informant added that all of these things
were being quietly but earnestly discussed by
the officials of both roads, with the evident
purpose of merging the rival interests. He
did not think this could be brought about i'm
mediately, but was satisfied it would be
elected at no very distant day,

CHARLorrr. n. c., April pa most sin
gular development of a case OF a
fruit-tree peddler selling Masonic de

come to light by the return Of the mo-
uev 10 the man cheated bv the peddlcr
last November. Mr.. Jones. afruit-tree ped
der, ctaved all night at the house OF Mrs.
Mary Kennedy, three miles from omar
lotte. During the evening n young white
man named Max Austen, IN the course OF
conversation said he wanted to JON the
Nelson's. Jones, who Is OF most agreeable
address, said he was glad TO hear 1t, "a he
could secure Austen all the degrees or ma
eOnry for $3.50 down, $40 in ten days,
and - when the papers were delivered.
He said he got the degrees from a lodge IN
Washington, ID. G. Austen paid the two
instalmeuts of $40 each.
The came evening when Mrs. Kennedy
complained Of being sick Jones said he
had been sick the same way rs Mrs;
Kennedy, that the medicine that cured
him would suit her case exactly; 1t was
seventy-fve cents bottle, bur thar ne
could get six bottles for her for $3.50. Mrs.
Kennedy gave him the money Tor SIX
bottles.
After several weeks. when nothing was
heard OF the Masonic degrees, OF the medl-
cine. or of Mr. Jones, Mr.. Austen came to
Charlotte and consulted Esquire Boyd.
The Esquire was a Mason and he eniight-
ened Mr.. Austen on the sale of Masonic de-
erees. Thereupon, December 2}d, q war
rant was issued for Jones. From Green's
bOro il was learned that Jones
was not an agent for the nurse
nv there that he professed to be-, but
that he bought the trees on his own nook
and sold them in the same way. In March
Jones was located in Salisbury. He was
arrested and held for Charlotte ofhcer.
That night while waiting for the midnight
train south Jones stepped outside Tor
minute and never stepped back again. He
had so won the confidence OF the officer by
his slick tongue that the officer had re-
