ADDICES'S NEW SCHEME
The Boston-Claymont Man
May Lose Again.
WANTS PHILADELPHIA GAS WORKS

hut the Quaker City Authorities Seem
Dead Against II and the Mayor
Places Himself on Record as Opposed
to Amy Proposition TO Dispose Of the
Works.
Philadelphia capitalists are all agog
over the reports that J. Edward AddicSs,
the Delaware millionaire, has established
a syndicate with 500, 900, OOO to buy out
right the Quaker City's gas works. From
the drift Of public opinion. however, It
Is probable that the gas magnate
will have more trouble in efecting
this purchase, IL he really thinks of
purchasing, than he is having with the
Wilmington Street and Sewer Depart
ment in laying his gas mains through
this city. One Philadelphia paper to day,
under display headlines, contains the fol.
owing:
J. e. Addicks, of Wilmington, is said
to have formed syndicate for the pur-
pose of purchasing the Philadelphia Gas
Works and 1t was stated yesterday thRt
an ordinance authorizing the mayor to
sell the works, will be introduced In
Councils tomorrow. Mr. Addicks's syn
dicate is said to be- willing TO pay
$50, 600, 900 for the works, and the ordi-
nance which is to be introduced fixes
that sum as the minimum price that the
mayor is TO accept. It is also said tC
contain a provision that only 50 600, ,00C
shall be paid In cash and that bonds
shall be accepted for the other $4,000.
| 00o
Just who is TO introduce the ordinance
In Councils could not be learned. A
prominent member of Seect Council
said that he had heard that such an or
d.nance had been drawn and that 1t was
to be introduced, but he could not tel
who had possession of It. Chairman
Smithers, of the Finance Committee
said that he had no; heard anything
about the matter
Several city officials who we're seen
last night said that even If such mea-
sure we're introduced In Councils they
did not think It would ever pass
When the special committee Of Select
Council was examining into the condition
OF the gas works a few months ago II
made request Of Director Windrim thai
J. H. Addicks should be permitted to &,
through the works and make a careful
examination go the committee could hsv,

Rumors That the Pullman Palace Car
Works VIII BE Removed to Philadel-
phiR Are Denied by omcers of the
Company.
II Is rumored that for some time the
officers Of the Pullman Palace Car Com
psny have been considering the ad-
visibility Of removing their shops from
this city to Philadelphia. II Is said with
this object in view the various sites along
the connecting railroad Of the Pennsyl
vania system have been thoroughly
looked into, but owing to the stringeucy
in the money market the transfer Of the
shops has. for some time, been delayed.
IL is said that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company really projected the
Fairhill branch line to &C ,ommodate the
Pullman people, and that the Parlor
Car Company was TO occupy thirty four
acres Of ground adjacent to the railroad /:
but owing to tue structures placed upon
the construction of the road, which com
pels IL to be elevated, II was found i'm.
possible TO do business In that locality.
and the erection of the shops there and
the building Of the road is a thing Of the
past.
The officers OF the Pullman Parlor Car
Company In Philadelphia denied all
knowledge Of such move. They, how
ever, said that a change of the shops
from this city to Philadelphia had been
considered for some time, and orders were
given TO select a sight. but owing TO the
depression In business 1t was thought
that no change would be made for the
present.
II is claimed that the removal OF the
shops from this city TO a point on the
connecting road would be saving In
time to the Pullman Company, as the
cars could be freigh ed lmuch easier and
more quickly It would also be within
easy access Iof the Reading road and
could be reached by other ways than by
rail
On the other hand. u Is said that tbs
company, after moving the shops-to this
city from another where II had large
shops, and after building plant here,
It would not make another move TheI
the shops are now located on the main
road.
John Bulge. superintendent of thl
works in this city, was asked concerning
the story this morning He said Their
Is nothing in the rumor. IL Is mere
newspaper talk The removal OF thl
shops would be a good thing for Phila.
delphia, on account of the large number
Of workmen required TO run the shops
and that is why!the Philadelphia peopl
are now clamorng for this big enterprise
