PHILADELPHIA Aug s.-The success
full use of electricity as a motive power
on steam roads has led the Baldwin
Locomotive Works and the Westing-
house Electric and Manufacturing
Company to effect combination. y
conference has been goiHg-on between
the two companies for the past two or
three months which has resulted in
an agreement by which they will
hereafter work together in the develop
ment Of apparatus for the operation of
steam railroads by electricity. 1t is ex-
pected that the union of these two
companies will result in the early in
PRODUCTION of improved forms of elec-
tric motors for stand railroads.
W. D. Uplegraff, private secretary
to George Westinghouse, Jr., in ex-
planning the scope of the afliliation OF
the interests Of the Westinghouse
Electric Company and the Baldwin
Locomotive Company, said:
''The combination is to develop the
possibilities of the Tesla motor as ap-
piled to the railway service. We in
tend to make it possible to ride from
New York to Pittsburg in three hours
With the Tesla motor we rae assured
power to draw car at the rate of $50
miles an hour or more. The only
thing now is to get cars and wheeles
that will stand the strain of tray
cling at that rate of speed. The
Baldwin people assure us that
this can be done. We now
have the system working at our plant
at East Pittsburg, the only trouble
Icing to get a car that will remain on
the track.
We believe that with this union of
interests will be in operation between
Pittsburgh and New York. The present
tracks cannot be used. We want air
lines. The cars will be very light, and
on the principle of air-ships. We can
run them on trestle work that would
not bear the weight of a Pullman coach
We intend to cross the mountains by
lifts.
tits only intended to use the lines
for passengers. mail, and eX-
press. There will be no engines, each
car being provided with its own mo-
tor. a car will not stop until it reach
es its point of destination. We have
also perfected a block system which
makes it impossible for two trains to
run on the same block. AS soon as
train gets on block on which there
is already train the power for the
last one entering is shut off. The IN
terests of the two corporations are not
to be combined for anything beyond
the development Of the railway feat

4 Big Take Out

New York, Aug. S.-The Belmont
Morgan bond syndicate today notified
all subscribers to the syndicate that
upon presentation of their certificates
of subscription at the officer of }. p.
Morgan & Co. on Friday, August 3,
they will receive a return of A. 10 per
cent. of their subscription. So far 10
per cent of the original subscription as
been returned. 1t is question wheth-
er the 81 1-2 per cent. to be paid will
be in cash or in checks. The bond
syndicate will also close their deal on
the other side, deliver the bonds, re-
back the certificates which were issued
and the entire deal will be ended, as
the syndicate has received the money
for the bonds.
So far there has been nothing said
about a distribution of the profits to
the members. Today 81, 600, 900 in
gold was deposited in the local sub-tre-
asury by the syndicate This offsets
the gold drawn by certain commission
houses, from the sub-treasury for ex-
port, as in line with the policy of the
bank kers who so successfully placed
the last government loan. Speaking
of re-sales of the new bonds here by
certain arbitrage houses, dealer
claiming to have inside information
today said: "As almost all Of the gov
ernment bonds here for European &C,
count has been done by a single firm,
the aggregate of the transaction might
equal 81, 600, 600 or S., 600, 900 as report
ed. 1t is not unreasonable to suppose
more bonds will seek this market,
although, of course, it was purely
guess work as to the probable extent
of these sales. The present quotations
for government bonds are only nomi,

transactions over the counter. The

THE DlSPENSARY.
Senator Tlllman Speaks for it Before a
Large Crowd.

New YORK. Aug. S. Senator Till
man and Prof. Samuel Dickey, of
Michigan, chairman of the national
committee of the Prohibition party to-
night debated the liquor question at
Prohibition Park, Staten Island. The
subject in full was: ''Is State control
of the liquor traffic the best means of
promoting temperance reform?" SEN
ator Tillman spoke for the affirmative
and was followed by Prof. Dickey.
The Senator spoke again and the pro-
fessor closed the debate Each spoke
forty minutes in all. The discussion
took place in the auditorium of the
park before about 600 people. DR.. D..
S. Gregory, of the park, presided. On
the stage, besides jury of twenty
men of every political faith, was ex-
Governor John P. St. John, of Kan
sas. who will speak for prohibition
against Senator Tillman at the park
tomorrow night When Senator Till.
man began the debate he explained
his we'll known dispensary scheme.
He then continued:
There are three liquor regulating
systems-the high license, the prohl-
bition and the dispensary system the
last named, being a modification Of
the Norwegian system. High license
is a monopoly and breeds open sa-
looms and every sort Of seductive IN
fuences resulting in evil. What does
prohibition breedl" shouted the Sena-
tor. 'Hypocrites, perjurers and boot
leggers. Why prohibition was given
up as a dismal failure in Iowa, and
now they have a system of local op-
ton. What do we do: We propose
to treat human beings not as angels,
but as we find them to be. The love
of liquor is born in every human APP
petite. Even our friend. Mr.. Roose.
welt, can't close all the saloons in your
city here. Our system reduces the
evil to minimum. We say to the
people, if there must be liquor drink
ing, let the profit go to the State, and
if you want it, come up like men as
for any other commodity. Don't
sneak. The system don't keep them
from getting liquor
Prof. Dickey then said that the dis
pensary system had been tried abroad
and proved failure; that if prohibi-
ton bred hypocrites and boot.laggers,
the dispensary system has begotten
riot and bloodshed in South Carolina.
He said he opposed the dispensary sys-
tenn because the Bible forbids a mans
putting the bottle to his neighbor's
lips, that the State had no right to do
what man was forbidden to do. There
are two great systems open to man
kind-total abstinence or drunken
ness. If the business is bad when the
State is partner, as under the license
system, he asked how doubly damned
was it when the State was the sole
proprietor? The jury after they had
retired for deliberation, decided to dis
agree for the present, so their decision
will be given tomorrow night.

LONDON, Aug. s.-Cable dispatches
from Melbourne state that the Cater
thun struck on the seal rocks at 2:45
o'clock in the morning and sank twen-
ty minutes latter. The names of those
who are supposed to have been lost are
Neil Shannon, the captain; Mr.. Pin
ney, the first officer; Third Officer
Leffler; Chief Engineer Harper; Sec
ond Engineer Adams, Third Engineer
Wilson, Fourth Engineer Wolsten-
holme, Chief Steward Manning and
Surgeon Anderson Phipps, thirty
Chinese and eighteen Lascars. The
passengers who are supposed to be lost
are Mesdames Matthias, Loring and
Smith, Miss Loring, Mr. Robert Fra
zer and fifteen Chinese steerage pas
sengers. At the time the vessel struck
a heavy southwest gale prevailed.
The ship continued on her way, but
before many moments had elapsed it
was found that she had a hole in her
bottom and was taking water rapidly.
She began to settle down and took on
list to starbcard. The fires under

and the vessel was then helpless. She
broached to and the seas swept over
her fore and aft. Every effort made
to lower the boats was baffied by the
seas which swept them in board after
they had been swung out on the
davitts. The port life boat was washed
from the davitts and lost. Notwlth-
standing the dangerous position of the
steamer, which it was now seen was
doomed, excellent discipline was main
tined. During an attempt to lower
the starboard cutter tremendous sea
broke aboard the steamer, carried
away the cutter and swept from the
bridge the captain and chief and Sec
ond officers and captain Fawkes.
A few minutes later the starboard
life boat was lowered and it picked
up Captain Fawkes who was clinging
to some floating wreckage. Only three
other Europeans were rescued. These
were Second Mate Lafear, DR.. Cope
man and a passenger named Cane, be-
longing to Melbourne. The seal rocks
are no miles north of Sidney. The
Catterthun, in addition to her general
cargo had on board II, 900 sovereigns.

Two Brothers Shot.

New ORLEANS, Aug. "a deplora-
bic tragedy occurred Saturday night at
Antioch Church, about fifteen miles
from Baton Rouge. For some time
bad feeling has existed between Hill
Picou and Albert O'neal, of that
neighborhood, and social gatherings
which they have attended have been
disturbed by their demonstrations OF
ill-feeling. It is said young lady is
the cause Of the bad blood. A few
days ago they attended party at
reighbors house and had violent
quarrel. Saturday night Albert
O'Neal and his brother Henry attend
ed church at Antioch, where a pro.
tracted meeting is being held. Hill
Picou and his brother Wallace also
went there. It was generally expect,
ed that meeting would result in a
shooting ARRAY, and all the parties
named went to church heavily armed,
the Picou brothers taking their shot
guns. During the service the O'Neal
brothers left the church. As they
reached the open air they met the Pi-
cou's. Almost instantly there was a
sound of three shots and the O'neal
brothers fell dead. Albert O'Neal's
forehead was shot away with a load of
buckshot. Henry O'Neal was shot in
the mouth and in the abdomen. His
pistol had been drawn, but not fired,
as it was found by his side. Albert
O'Neal's pistol was found in its scab-
bard. He had been killed before he
could draw it.
The Picou's and a friend have been
arrested, charged with the killing, and
were put in jail. All the parties con-
cerned are about 25 years of age. They
have large and respectable family con-
nections, and more trouble IS expect
ed. The result of the coroner's in
quest has not been heard.
Word of another killing several
miles from Baton Rouge has been re-
ceived. Sunday afternoon VIM. Nc
Crew and Gus Weaver, two young
men, were riding horseback with a
mutual friend. In some way an old
feud camei up, both drew guns, and
about seven shots were exchanged.
Weaver fell dead from his horse with
four bullets in him. McCrew was hit
in the arm and side and rode away
bleeding profusely.
