A BIG COMPANY.
A Chicago Corporation Started to
Go in the Coffee Business.

G0 IN the C0tee Business.
The first Chicago company to or
ganize for business in the Hawai-
ian Islands since the Republic was
established received its certificate
of incorporation from Springfield
recently, says late Chicago Her
aid. 1t is incorporated as the
Aloha Plantation, with a capital
stock of 100000. The company
includes several rich planters resi-
dent in Honolulu and a number of
Chicago capitalists, who have Sc
cured large tract of land, former
ly reserved by the Hawaiian Gov
eminent, and said to be particular
ly adapted to growing coffee and
certain tropical fruits. Most of the
land suitable for coffee plantations
has been acquired by English and
European syndicates. Their rights
run for a period of years, and it is
said the Aloha Plantation is the
only extensive one on the islands
not controlled by Europeans. The
land, which is covered with dense
growth of young trees, cannot be
planted for several seasons after the
first blowing on account OF it's rich
ness. Within four years after
clearing the plantations become
very valuable, and some OF them
are highly profitable.
Isaac II. Mayer, attorney for the
Honolulu Chicago syndicate, de-
clined to talk about the plans OF
his clients. although my name
appears as one of the incorpora'
tors" he said, 81 am merely the
legal adviser of the corporation
and, in the absence of permission
from my clients, could not dis

upon a number of prominent sugar
planters yesterday. Each and every
one of them admitted they knew
nothing whatever of such a com

o'clock on the Third avenue line of the Brooklyn

nus While car 921, in charge Of Motorman
McLennon and Conductor Morris Tursell, was
on its way to the city at high speed, 1t struck
and ran over an unknown man.
The speed was so high that the body was car
ried along twenty or thirty yards before the car
could be stopped II was found that the body
had been terribly msngled and was firmly
wedged between the forward wheels and the
motor box. More than half an hour elapsed be-
fore 1t could be extricated IL being necessary to
lift the forward part of the heavy car from the
track.
The man was about 25 years old and s feet 9
inches tall. This is the only description which
the police forwarded to Headquarters. Persons
living In the neighborhood could not identify
the body, and II was taken 10 the police station
in the old Town Hall In Fourth avenue and
Eighty-sixth street. The motorman and con-
ductor were arrested.
This makes the thirty fourth fatal trolley scci-
dent during the year, and the ninety second

NO READING REORGANIZATION.
The PIaa Which 1t Was Thought Wsaia
Es Successful said to Have Failed.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 30.-Ths Reading re-
organization plan is said to be a failure Lately
1t has been confidently asserted that enough OF
the security holders OF the company had as
sented To the plan to assure its success. but the
fact that II is failure is made from the author
ity of a man who is in q position TO know what
he is talking about.
This plan has failed through the non assent OF
a sufficient number OF the junior bOndholders
and stockholders. The committee will hold .
meeting tomorrow in New York, and probably
then the formal announcement OF the failure OF
the plan win be made.
Tomorrow the time for asserting to the plan
expires, and when the committee discovered
that not enough OF the Junior security holders
had assented to reorganization, theJ were con-
fronted by a position in which one OF three
courses was open to them.
They could extend the time for asserting to
the plan aud levy a penalty upon the non-aS-
senting security holders; or foreclose, aud then
formulate a new plan.
IL has been decided that the time shall not be
extended for asserting TO the plan and that
foreclosure proceedings will be instituted at
once, and then while these proceedings are
pending new reorganization plan VIII be
formed.
The idea Of the committee at present Is said 10
be 10 retain the general mortgage features of the
present plan, and IL is the desire OF the COM
mittse that all the junior security holders who
have subscribed to the present plan shall be
dealt with as leniently as possible under the new
il is said that under the new plan the junior
security holders will be assessed much heavier
than under the present plan.

LONDON. Dec. 3o.-Reports Of stormy weather
continue to be received from all parts OF Europe.
Numerous small wrecks and casualties are re-
ported In Great Britain and Ireland. Many
lives were saved by lifeboats.
The British bark Osseo was wrecked in gale
at Holyhead early this morning, and with her
pershed her entire crew of twenty-six men.
The oeseo was driven ashore back of the Ho-
lyhead breakwater. Her signals Of distress
were first heard by the coast guard about 4
o'clock in the morning. At that time It was
pitch dark and great waves were washing over
the breakwater. In spite Of the danger OF being
washed into the sea the guard proceeded along
the breakwater, and having rugged up the rock
ct apparatus. began firing life lines In the direc-
tion Of the wreck. The faint light Of the rockets
soon disclosed the fact that the vessel had
broken in two amidshlps and that the main
mast had fallen, crushing the lives out Of sew
eral of the crew.
A few survivors could be seen clinging to each
half of the vessel, and their piteous cries for
help could be heard above the roar Of the storm.
After many failures the coast guard succeeded
in firing line over the wreck, but by that time
all on board had perished. A lifeboat vainly
tried again and again to approach the wreck.
Not vestige Of the bark could be seen to-day,
and there is no prospect of any salvage Sew
eral bodies have been washed ashore.
The Osseo was . bark of 1900 tons. She
arrived at Falmouth on Dec. 10 from Taltal.
and had been ordered to Androssan.
Boats and wreckage washed ashore on the
coast Of Lancashire indicate that the British
bark Loweswatsr has been lost She left
Garston in tow on Dec. 21 with fifteen persons
aboard. The hawser with which she was being
towed parted in q gale, and the tug took refuge
at Llandudno on Dec 22, since which time
nothing has been heard of her.
A severe gale is blowing on tho Baltic, and
navigation is suspended at Copenhagen.
A heavy snow has fallen In the north Of Scot
land. and two railway trains have been blocked
on the tracks.
At Hamburg the lower parts Of the city are
inundated, as they were week ago.
The gale of tho last two days did enormous
damage on the coasts Of North France Belgium.
and Germany. Seven large sailing vessels were
towed into Bremerhaven In . badly battered
condition. Several coasters stranded and some
Of the seamen aboard were lost. The Ostsnd-
Dover steam packet service was suspended yes
