THE MARCH OF ELECTRICITY.

There has been no more interesting
or significant event in the business
world in recent years than the con-
solidation effected between the Bald.
win Locomotive Works and the
Westinghouse Electric Manufacture
ing company. Each is, perhaps, the
most extensive esta blishment of it's
kind in the country. The name of
as the foremost concern in it's spe-
cial line of business. The two have
been engaged in departments of
work that seem to have little in
common. Indeed, the rivalry beween
steam and electricity as a motive
force brought them into sharp COM
petition. So wonderful has been the
growth of the application of cleo
tricity to motor purposes that no

could be Indifferent to it's inroads.
| Every company engaged in that
business found itself obliged to pay
| attention to the construction of cleo
| trio motors as we'll, unless it was
| ready to lose large share of it's
| trade. The great electrical compa-
MES, on the other hand, have been

stantly increasing success, in the di

LUMBERMEN ON A TRIP
To Puget Sound With a View to
Buying Timber.

A party of lumbermen Of the Wis
consin valley were quartered at the
Merchants yesterday, waiting for the
departure of the Great Northern's over
land train The gentlemen are Ell route
to the Puget Sound country, where
they will spend some time looking over
the timber resources of that region.
Among them were the following gen.
tlemen: L. NJ. Arson, H. H. Foster,
John Sanders, John o. Day and A. H.
Stanje, Of Merrill, Wis; w. Alexander,
Charles VintCn and G.. +. Dunbar, of
Wausau, Wis; John Daily and R. c.
Arpin, of Grand Rapids; John Stewart.
of Blackberry, Ill; and F. B. Hizon, of
La Crosse. These gentlemen repre-
sent at least a million of capital in
vested in the white pine business. MI.
Rixon spoke interestingly on the nature
of ther trip to the far West. The par
ty will carefully look over the timber
resources with View of investing
some money. These investments arb
not made with q view of immediate
manufacturing or milling enterprises,
but are to be held for future uses. The
gentlemen think the present tine d
very propitious one to make these IN
vestments, as the timber industry has

The present rates to EaS tern markets
however, are such as to allow but a
limited amount of shipping at a profit
IF we had water route by way of
the Panama canal to the Eastern coast
we could do tremendous business
from far Western points, said Mr.
Hixon. Our timber resources in the
Wisconsin valley are fast becoming ex-
hausted and we have to lock elsewhere
for supplies. We have an eye open es-
pecially for fir and cedar, which will
form the bulk of the trade from the
Pacific. Fir viii have to take the place
of white pine eventually, when the lat
ter becomes a scarce article. If we find
anything of q desirable character we

FEDERAL COURT MATTERS.

Judge Sanborn, of the United States
circuit court of appeals, yesterday
made IN order reconveying to Hiram
r 100 acres of land in Montana,
on which the Oregon Short Line and
Utah Northern held a sort of lien
under a contract. The railroad com
pany was given right of way through
the property on. condition that it was
to have the whole tract plated for
townsite. The townsite never came,
but the contract actsd as a cloud on
the title and Ransom wanted it OBJ
liberated.
Application has been made to Judge
Sanborn by the receivers Of the Union
Pacific to occupy the new union sta
ton to be built by the Union Terminal
company at Omaha, it being necessary
to get permission of the court to enter
into a fifty-year lease. Judge Sanborn
referred the matter to w. D. Cornish.
master, in chancery, to investigate be-
fore he makes the final order.
Judge Sanborn has set Aug. q, as the
day on which to hear the motion OF the
American Loan & Trust company to
have stricken from the files an amend
ed answer interposed in the Oregon
Short Line second mortgage foreclos-
ure proceedings.

stitute for the engines now employed
ON the steam railroads.
The tendency of the age is to the
use in combination of steam and
electricity. Each invades the do
main of the other and nothing but
practical experiment can determine
just where the electric and where
the steam motor will be the more
economical and effective. 1t is a
necessity of business, therefore, and
not any scheme for monopoly by
consolidation, that brings together
these two enormous interests. AL
ready the electric locomotive is an
accomplished fact, and is in use, for
heavy traffic. At the same time, the
gineers are centered on a system of
quick transit over long distances.
The Westinghouse people announce
that they are already assured of
motor that will draw car $50 miles
an hour. To use this, an entirely
new system of rails and tracks must
be constructed. 1t is easily appar-
ent that steam and electricity each
has a field of its own which the other
cannot hope to appropriate, and just
as evident that in great many
lines of industry the two will work
side by side and be adopted inter
changeably as particular circum-
stances may decide. Ike practical
proving and consequence of this is
the anlalgamation Of the two great
concerns which see in such union
their highest self-interest. It is far
less interesting as an exploit Of cap
ital than it is as an Indication of the
rapid development, in practical
way, of the force which is even now
revolutionizing nearly every form of
human industry.

The government owed Messrs. Whaley

ment in another form. This the court

IDA,S BAD MISTAKE,
But She Discovers There Is More
Than One Man. r-.e

On July 1, 1895, Mrs. Ida Hesler, in
spite of the census bureau, firmly be-
lieved that the Twin Cities and the rest
of the universe contained only one
man, and that man was her Joseph,
to whom she had just been married.
She seemed to own the earth and the
manhood thereof for nearly five weeks.
Last Friday night, however, Joseph
broke the hymeneal trance by striking
his Ida a. cruel blow in the eye and
departing hence. She then began to
see-with the other eye-that there
were other men than Joseph. One of
these others was William Webb, who
arranged game of copenhagen to con-
sole the disenchanted one. A West
Side patrolman, who did not under
stand the rules of the game, SO mis-
Interpreted the method of consolation
to Judge Twohy yesterday morning
that the game will be played over
again, under revised rules-workhouse
regulations-at Lake Como during the
next thirty days.

TANGLE AT BOSTON.
Trouble Expected Over the
knights TempIars Tickets.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The roads run
ming east of this city are looking for
all kinds of trouble over the sale of
the tickets to the Knights Templars
conclave at Boston. They are fully
expecting that all the trouble they
went through over the sale of the
Chrictian Endeavor tickets will have
to be endured again. This expectation
comes through the information that
the terminal lines at Boston, which had
decided to appoint a joint agent to
take charge of tickets and do away
with all the difficulties lat beset the
lines of the Central Traffic association
at the time of the Christian Endeavor
convention, have gotten into trouble
over the joint agent business, and
that the chances are now that there
viii be no joint agent at all. Nothing
definite was learned about the matter
today, but the general feeling was enc
