A Syndicate is Formed to Control the

New York, Dec. 31.-The World says:
A syndicate headed by Charles r. Flint
treasurer of the United States Rubber

combination TO control the bicycle tire
business of the country and float
large company with both American and
English capital The first attempt at
THIS was made last summer Wnen a
syndicate was formed to float, princi-
paly in England, a corporation based
on the business Of Morgan & Wright
Of Chicago, makers of double tube
tires.
Mr.. Morgan of the Morgan company,
Mr.. Eddy of the HOnens company and
Mr. Auerbach went TO LOndan to see
what could be done in launching the
concession with English capital ABOUT
the same time the Morgan Wright syn
dictate was feeling the English financial
pulse, a syndicate was organized IN
which Chas r. Flint of New York and
DenistOun, Cross & Co, bankers OF
London were the leading members.
They took in hand the Tilinghast pat
ent for single tube tires Mr.. Eddy Of
Flint Eddy & Co, and William Ivens,
the New York lawyer, were sent as
their agents to London
The Morgan syndicate proposed to be
capitalized for S12 000, geo, While the
Flint syndicate placed it's capital at So,
100000. Thus these two American syn
dicates entered London about the same
time. The men of money in England,
however, We're shy of American sure
Dental canvass. 1t then came about
that the bankers and the lawyers from
America got together and endeavored
to pool both syndicates and see if any
thing could be accomplished by pulling
together The British bankers, how
ever, refused to be interested and the
whole bicycle tire business was given
up for the time being. The Morgan
syndicate dissolved. Mr.. Flint, how
ever. quietly continued al work to get
all the various interests into line for
a new syndicate

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Nov. 3O.-The
flood situation in this city is not con-
sidered critical by lumbermen and river
men. They say there is no cause for
alarm unless the weather 7G1derates.
Thls feeling of security does not exist
among the residents in the lower part
of the city. The anxiety is caused
from the existence Of a series of ice
gorges between here and Chippewa
Fails on the Chippewa river. The Iarg-
est Jam is about two mics. above the
heart of the city and a mile above the
Della dam. It is said to be from TWEEN
ty to forty feet in depth and has formed
complete dam. The low lands above
this clear to Chippewa Falls are under
water. The reservoir of the water
works company is covered by twelve
feet Of water. At Badger mills the mill
property and residences are under
water. The tracks Of the Chicago, Mil
Waukee & st. Paul road at this place
are also submerged. Should there be
a thaw and these gorges give way
suddenly, the flood would surpass many
times that of "a. Owing to the water
being held by the jams the river at
this place has fallen about four feet
in the past twelve hours Reports from
above at p. m. state a rise Of nine
inches per hour.
A tale of suffering was brought to
this city by Andrew Suter and John
Langdon, of Durand, tonight, who
drove into town. Suter says that the
bottom lands on both sides of Durand
are flooded, and early Sunday morning
many families had to flee from their
beds in scanty night robes to places of
safety. Many are reported as having
feet and limbs frozen. An engine and
coach was sent out from Durand to-
day and gathered up about fifty unfor-
tunates, but sof asst was the water
rising that the train had to return It
is thought that some of the people were
not reached by the rescuing party 1t
is not known whether any human be-
irgs have been lost or not Many do
mestic animals, however, were seen in
the water frozen stiff.
A dispatch received by the Leader
from Chippewa Falls at 1870 p. m.
states that the water there fell one
foot in an hour, but the next hour had
risen a foot and a half. The rise was
caused by the breaking of a jam at
Little Falls dam. Gorges are reported
at Flambeau and other settlements
north Of Little Falls. The water
at Chippewa Falls is seventeen and
one-half feet above low water. Irvine,
suburb, is submerged, and some of
the lower streets in Chippewa Falls
are under water.
