 of Boston, New Haven, Providence, Spring
 field and other cities in New England have
 been consolidated in one company under
 the name of the New England Street Rail-
 way company. The certificate of incor- poration, which was filed this morning in
 the office of the secretary of state of New Jersey, at Trenton, provides for 6 capital
 of $5, ,0OO, 900, which may be increased to S50, ,0O0, ,000.. The directors of the com pany, including many prominent New Eng land financiers, are as follows:
 John R. Bullard, president of the Ded- ham (Msss ) savings bank and the Dedham National bank; James 0. Elmo, president of the Shoe and Leather National bank of Boston; Colonel John H.

 Stock.
 PIrTsBURe, Feb. 16.-United States Glass stock (common) is very weak. It is said that some of the stockholders are quietly marketing their stock, because they want to get out of the big company and enter the glass business for themselves. They are dissatisfied with the management, which Is chiefly characterized by its desire to do as little as possible towards selling the large stock of glass which has sccumu- lated in the warehouses of the various plants. At one of the recent meetings one of the directors advocated selling the $600,- 900 worth of glass at discount of from 10 to 33f per cent. As this meant a tremen- dous loss it was not considered. It is rumored that the dissatisfaction among stockholders Is go extensive that at the end of the fiscal year, on July l, the present company will be dissolved and a new one organized.

case received striking illustration last

the Rockland high school and afterward

typewriting and copying. On Nov. II
she was married at the residence of heI
father, Brainard Cushing, to one F. w.
Williams, who represented that he was
an agent of the Thompson-Hous Elec-
tric company. He took his bride to Chi
cago, where, after running bill of $500

Gushing has taken the heartbroken girl
