THE DEAL Is CLOSED.

Papers Are Only Waiting Signatures to
Complete the Perpetual Consolidation
of the Pittsburg and Duquesne Traction
Roads on the Basis Of Fifty-Five and
Forty-Five.
The consolidation of the Duquesne
electric and the Pittsburg cable traction
roads is being made as rapidly as the in
panies can accomplish it. Chas. Mckee.
attorney for the Duquesne, is in Philadel-
phia. and, with Attorney johnson, OF the
the Elkins- Widener syndicate, is arranging
the details of the deal so that it will be
signed, sealed and delivered within few
days, or before next Tuesday. Mr.. Mckee
will return to this city Monday evening.
"Wednesday morning President George
Elkins, of the Pittsburg Traction line, will
assume entire control and management OF
the Duquesne In addition to that of the
Fifth avenue cable road, and it is expected
he will within short time make a number
of changes in the operation of both lines,
calculated for the Improvement of the SER
vice to the public. As stated in yesterdays
DISPATCH, the Fifth avenue road will re-
turn to cent fares on the 1st of December,
connections are being made at Fifth and
Shady avenues, by which the two lines will
be connected for a short route to Wilkins
burg. to be ready for operation on the same
date, and another connection is talked of
to make a direct line to Williamsburg at the
corner of Penn and Shady avenues. 1t is
also stated that arrangements are being
made to run all-night cars on the electric
line as soon as President Elkins takes hold
of the road.
The announcement published some time
ago that as soon as the consolidation was
effected the downtown lire of the Duquesne
would be practically abandoned, is now re-
pudiated by these in position to know. 1t
is said the Duquesne lines now imperative
will be covered by cars as rapidly as cir
cumstances will permit including the Wal
nut street and Denniston avenue branches.
1t is also stated that the downtown line
will be laid on Diamond street, as
the cempany's franchise from the city per-
mits, and as soon as this is done what is
known as the Market street branch of the
road will be extended into the extreme
lower part of the city. so as to connect with
the old Allegheny Union and West End
lines, and TO carry passengers to the Exposi-
tion buildings. When this is done transfer
system with those lines is contemplated.
All the indications at present are that the
statement of the conditions of the consoli-
dation as published in THE DISPATCH
nearly two weeks ago were correct in all
essential particulars. The consolidation
will be perpetual. The basis of its adjust
ment will be that the earnings of both lines
will be pooled, the expenses and interest on
the bonded Indebtedness paid from the COM
mon fund and the balance of the earnings
divided on ratio of IS for the Pittsburg
Company to 45 for the Duquesne. This
arrangement, it is argued. will have the
effect of making the bonds of the Duquesne
Company as good as gold.

DIR. NARDYZ'S SCHEME.

How He Caught a Fly French Burglar
Clever Ruses Of Paris Crooks to- Entrar
the strangers-PIaced . Pistol at the
Door.
Dr. Nardyz, the Italian physician IN
Plttsburg, is one of the practical kind Of
men that has travelled over almost all the
world and has had more lively experiences
than usually fall to the lot of an entire gen
Grafton. In speaking yesterday of visit
to France, he related the following.
My boarding house was facing the
Granville or military grounds in Paris,
where almost the entire city turns out
every evening on promenade. One evening
was standing in the front door when a
young lady, who was walking with gen.
tleman, fell and broke her ankle. 1t
was known that L was physician
and the lady was taken to my room in order
that could place the broken member in its
proper place and give her relief 1 did so,
and short time afterward had her sent to
the hospital. After she got able to walk
she returned with the gentleman, osten-
sibly to express their qualification. They
continued their calls and one day the ser
geant of police told me that they were rob-
bers and that the plan they followed was
for the girl to go around and find the lay of
rooms, which the man would afterward
plunder. 1t was easy to get ac-
cess to the houses where was
stopping. There was very poor lock on my
door, so concluded on an American inven-
tion for protection, and arranged pistol in
such way that it would go off when the
door was opened. 1t was fixed so that ]
could 60 in when 1 wanted to by pulling a
string, which could not be seen by person
not acquainted with the secret. j
warned the landlady and awaited
results One evening the couple called and
wanted me to go out on the Granville with
them. / consented, but was careful to
arrange the pistol before doing So After
We were out short time, they slipped away
from me in the crowd. had an idea what
they were after and in a short
time returned to my room When
got to the house it was in an uproar. The
young man had opened the door and
found him lying in the hallway with bull
let hole in his right breast The police
thought there had been an attempt
to commit murder and arrested
me. After an explanation wa:
made, however, 1 was released and the
young man and his accomplice were ar
rested He was very badly wounded, but
fiually recovered, and they were both sent
to the penitentiary. No one in Paris hat
ever heard of such scheme to catch rob
bers before, and was the lion of the towr
until went away"

BIGGER THAN WAS REPORTED.
The Losses by the Gienwood Fire Will
Foot Up $4,000.

Ihe Losses Dy t0e STfenWOOd t1re Will
Foot Up $4,000.
The Glenwood fire Yesterday morning was
more destructive than first reported. The
loss to the electric company will reach $780,
GOO The cars were valued on an average of
about s5, 900 apiece and the buildings at s1O,-
600. Neither W. J. Burns nor J. D. Gallery
could be found. Cashier Armstrong stated
that the company was protected by insur-
ance, but could not say for how much or In
what companies it was placed. The Electric
Hotel, occupied by j. s. j. B. Borlin, was
owned by T. III. Bucking, who has fruit
stand at Sixth and Liberty streets. The
building was valued at $1,000, on which
there was an insurance of 81, 600.
The loss to Borlins on stock and hotel
fixtures was 50, 500, fully covered in the
United States and North American Com
panies Mrs. Jane Graham's residence in
the rear of the hotel, was damaged to the
extent of $500. ard new building across
the street was scorched so that it will have
to be repainted.
The horses were secured from the build
ing once, but they became frantic and
rushed back into the stable and were Gre
mated
The electric company secured two cars
yesterday, one each from the Birmingham
and Pleasant Valley lines. Buses were
also run, but could not accommodate the
patrons, who had to recourse to the rail-
road. Two employees of the electric line
named Condor and Simpson, who boarded
at Borlin's, had a narrow escape from being
burned to death In the excitement they
were forgotten, and were missed when the
entire building was in flames. They were
rescued with difficulty. The origin of the
fire is in doubt. The electric people claim
there was no current in their wires, and
think the fire started from sparks from q

OTTAWA, ONT, Nov. 26.-[special 1.-The
Dominion Government is taking exceptions
to the conduct of the Government of New
foundland in refusing to allow the sale of
herring to Canadian vessels by fishermen of
that colony, which is directly in contrav-
ention to the terms upon which the British
Government ratified the bait act, passed by
the Legislature of that colony, prohibiting
the sale of herring to foreign vessels. The
attention of Lord Salisbury has been called
to the fact. with request that Newfound-
land will be compelled to carry out the
assurances given that the bait act would not
be carried into effect against Canada, or that
act.

Now Under Construction in Duluth For the
Lake Grain Trade.
DULUTH, Nov. 26.-The keel has been
laid by the American Steel Barge Works
for the first of eight whalebacks, each Of
which will carry lao, 1000 bushels of wheat,
and draw but Is feet of water. They will
be 325 feet long over all, AZ feet beam, %
feet deep, and are to be built exclusively for
lake trade. They are being built on con-
tract for a mining syndicate. and will be
the first large vessels built by the barge
company not on its own account.
No secret is made of the fact that the YES
sells are under contract, but it is not gener-
ally known, nor are the names of the Pur-
cbasers given out. The one who took her
maiden cargo of $4,000 bushels out of
Duluth Yesterday, took 12 per cent. of her
cost in the single down trip. The vessel is
valued at $50, 900, and the freight on her,
93. 900 bushels, was enough to pay $40, 900
for the trip. This would pay for the boat
twice over in season.

Monday had left more marks than could be
covered up by the little sawdust on hand.
More than this, the game yesterday between
the Wesleyans and the University of Penn
sylvania had left the turf in badly cut up
condition, which the rain did not help in
the least. The lines were also far from

He Was Rich in Property.

Since the wonderful development of East
End property he has been successful in a
quiet way in the handling of real estate,
and it is estimated that with his share of
his fathers estate, and what he has accumu-
lated in the past ten years, he leaves for
tune of nearly S15O.OOO. There are quite a
number of legal heirs to the estate. but it is
said that . short time ago he went to a
notary and made will bequeathing his
property to certain of his heirs, saying that
the others had offended him and he would
not remember them.
DR. Reimer has lived in Pittsburg all but
IA years of his life. He bought farm at
Tarentum in 1856 and with his brother lived
there until 1870, when he returned to the
old homestead. He moved to the house in
which he died 10 years ago. His father,
Abram Reimer, was a manufacturer of the
old-fash1oned wooden pumps and enjoyed a
practical monopoly of the business in this
part of the State. Throughout Allegheny
county there are still in use many of these
pumps which were made and placed in po-
sition by Abram Reimer 60 years ago.
The interment of DR.. Reimer will take
place at Tarentum on Monday afternoon.
Services will be held at the residence at IL

Lower Coal Prices Po.sibIv.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 15.-The recent
coal fires in Duluth may end in dis
aster to the local coal market. The
confagration in the pile on the docks of
the Pioneer Fuel Go. has been dupli-
Gated by one on the dock of the North
western Fuel Co., the exteut of which
is not yet known. For some time past
local coal dealers have been little I'M.
easy, and now they feel that they have
cause to begin to be alarmed for their
profits. The outcome of the fire will be
that many hundred tons of damaged
Hooking coal will thrown on the market.
This coal will be. only partially charred,
some of it having little the appearance
of coke on the outside. The Pioneer
Go. will want to get it off its hands as
soon as possible and in consequence it
is feared the price will be put SO low that
it will seriously interfere with the other
dealers in the undamaged article, oaus.
ing them to lose the sale on a large
stock on hand. The Northwestern Fuel
90. will probably have large amount
to work off also and at present the out
look is not encouraging for the dealer,
though the consumer may get benefit
enough out of the matter to last him for
the winter.

PROSPEROUS TIMES.

South Dakota Farmers Have Good Crops
and DO Not Want any f the school Money
Having Enough of Their own.
HURON, s. D., Nov. 14.-South Dako.
ta's school fund is rapidly increasing.
The deputy commissioner of schools
and public lands, s. w. Bowman, who
was here yesterday, says that nearly
$500, 600 of the school money is now on
hand. It is what has beer received
from leases and sales of school lands and
although efforts to loan it have been
made none has been disposed Of The
state law provides for loaning school
money to counties, at six per cent. in.
terest per annum, but, with perhaps
three exceptions. not county has
offered to take any of the money. Crops
the past season have been so abundant
farmers have money enough of their own
for present needs, and as the counties
receiving. the school money depend upon
farmers as borrowers, there is no de.
mand for the cash, even at the small
interest named. This certainly is good
evidence of the prosperity of South Da.
kota farmers. It is not likely, in view
of the facts named, that any more bonds
will be sold this season. although a few
sections have been asked for.

Short in His Accounts,

TOLEDO, Ohio, Nov. 12.-The sensa.
ton of the K. of L. convention today
was a report of the committeeappointed
at the last session at the request of
General Secretary Hayes to investigate
the treasurer's books, which he found
in unsatisfactory shape. The committee
reported that ex.Treasurer Turner re-
fused to appear before them or to give
up bank deposit books, Cancelled
checks and other documents
in his possession. They made the best
investigation possible in the absence Of
those documents and find there is over
$31, 900 unaccounted for; even crediting
Turner with $4,000 which his state
ments show have been expended, but
which the books of the order do uot
show. leaves balance of over $4,000
entirely unaccounted for. The report
was ordered printed.
