The San Francisco call., 1896-04-18
Consolidation of the Gas and
Edison Electric Light
Companies.
BASIS OF THE COMBINE.
Ultimatum of the Gas Corporation
Accepted by tie Edison
Directors.

The negotiations for consolidation of
the San Francisco Gas Company and the
Edison Ii ht and Power Company practi-
cally eliminated yesterday in an agree
ment to combine. In consequence of the
reported agreement the stock of each cor
poration advanced several points.
Some weeks since THE CALL published a
statement showing the basis of PROPOSE
tion which the gas company had presented
as an ultimatum. Prior to the submission
of this plan. Joseph B. Crockett, president
of the gas company, and George w. Pres
cott had been in consultation with James
B. Stetson ard Frank Whittier, represent
ing the Edison Company. This commit
tee OF conference was in session from
time to time for several weeks, and finally
reached a common ground of agreement,
but when the compact was referred to the
directors CT the Edison Light Company
they demanded a larger interest in the
consolidated concern than the agreement
allowed. Thereupon Frank Whittier re-
signed from the committee and L. P.
Drexler was appointed in his place.
In subsequent negotiations the gas COM
pany did not recede materially, but in
sisted that the com mbined CAPITA stock
should consist OF lac, 900 shares, OF which
100000 should belong to the gas company
and the residue, less 10000 shares reserved
to cover floating and bonded indebtedness
of the Edison Company, should be allotted
to the latter corporation in place Of its ex-
listing 10000 shares. This in effect was
giving the Edison Il for its stock, whereas
IL was desired.
From sources deemed to be authentic
it is learned that the representatives of
the Edison Company yesterday decided to
accept the Ia proposition.
The gas company people were very firm,
insisting that the Edison plant could be
duplicated for so per cent less than the
value estimated in the consolidation. Yet
it was also acknowledged that a duplica-
ton of the plant would not remove the
competition.
Joseph Crockett, president of the gas
company, states that the cost of lights
will not be advanced to consumers by rea-
son of the union OF the two organizations.
There is an apprehension among consum-
ers that the price may be advanced in the
future if not at the present.
The big contracts for lighting the City,
which will soon be renewed, probably cut
a larger figure in the calculation than the
question OF rates to private consumers.

Surely Most Welcome News to Sufferers
From Female Complaints.


From Female Complaints.
1t Is fact that our women who suf-
fer from female complaints and are
consequently weak, tired nervous, drag
ged-out and full of pains and aches DO
not have the same opportunity to be
cured as do the residents of the great
cities where the most successful spe-
cialists in female diseases reside. In
other words, our women are debarred
from seeking a cure by the great and
skilled physicians owing to the cost or
travel to the large city and the high
fees charged by such specialists.
Here, therefore, is chance for the
sick and suffering women of our COM
munity which should not be lost. Dr.
Greene of So West Fourteenth street,
New York city, who has the largest
practice in the world and who is with
out doubt the most successful specialist
In curing female complaints, offers TO
give free consultation by mail to all
women suffering from these distressing
weaknesses, discharges, pains and IT.
Irregularities. You have the privilege OF
consulting Dr. Greene by letter describ-
carefully considering your condition,
send a letter carefully explaining all
your symptoms, telling you everything
about your complaints so plainly that
that you will understand exactly what
ails you. He will also give you his ad-
vice, based upon his vast experience
and wonderful success in treating such
cases, as to just what to do to get cur
ed. All this will cost you nothing and
you can thus have consultation with
the best known and acknowledged most
successful specialist in the world with
out leaving home and at no expense
whatever. The doctor is the discoverer
of the greatest of all known medicines,
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, and he has discovered many
other most valuable remedies. Write
to him now about your case, for this is
chance to get cured which you may
never have again.

A Large Quantity of Liquor Secured by the

:, The police made big haul early yes
terday morning when the drinking
clubs were swooped down upon. For
some time the authorities have been
contemplating just such a raid, and on
Saturday evening Sergeant Mcbride
was given the warrants for the three
places raided. He selected his men and
the time when the raid should be
be made. At 100 o'clock there was a
concert of action, and almost on the
minute each squad entered the house
assigned it. The proprietors, except
John Porenteau of Gregson street, were
not arrested, as they are known to the
police.
Porenteaus arrest was ordered be-
cause he would not disclose the name
of the proprietor, saying that he was
master of ceremonies there. c. a.
Moeller gave bonds for his appearance
in court this morning. In Porenteau's
place a girl was found dressed in mems
clothes. She was locked up for the
balance of the night. she was dismiss
ed in the morning with a reprimand.

Would you like them any
better if the names of for
eign milliners, pinned into
them according to the Gus
toms of millinery firms, were
CLAIMED to be the names Of
the actual makers ?
A masterpiece of painting
signed with the artists name
has a value above the best
cony. even though the copy
be the better picture.
But it is different with
millinery, for if the copy be
better than the original it is
the most desirable hat, even
though it can be sold for
less money.
Here we sell you the hat
only.
If you want the name of a
foreign maker with it we will
present you with one of the

handling of disinfectants, as most OF
them are poisonous, especially in this

In parishes or towns where number
