TOBACCO TRUST TALK.
The RumOr of the Absorption of
Rival Concerns Revived.

New York, Oct. 15.-The Evening Sun
publishes the following: 1T is said by
well-informed people that negotiations are
pending between the American Tobacco
Company and one or both of its large COM
petitors in st. Louls-Liggett & Myers and
the Drummond Company. The object is
to reach an understanding which will ter
inmate the present war between the rival
interest on plug tobacco and cigarettes.
Present indications are that the nego-
tiations have made such progress that an
announcement of Importance may be ex-
pected at any moment The St Louis
concerns are understood to be in a posi-
ton which permits the contamination of
a deal or even an absolute transfer Of
control.
1T is also said that the P. Lorillard
Company is in position to sell out its
property as the period of three years for
which the organizers agreed TO tie up
their common stock has now expired.
Whether the negotiations now pending
embrace the last named company is not
known certainly"

FuRNERAL OF RUFUS DEERiNa.
Impressive Services at First Free Baptist
Church.

The funeral of the late Dea. Rufus
Deering took place from the First Free
Baptist church yesterday afternoon. There
was an attendance that filed the audi
forum. The main body of the church
was reserved for the employees of the j.
G. Mcdonald Company and the Rufus
Deering Company. The front pews were
occupied by the family of the deceased
and the representatives Of Bates College
of whioh Mr.. Deering was trustee
Professors Anthoine andE Jordan. Many
Of our prominent citizens showed their
respect by their presence, and the lum-
Der merchants of the city closed their
places of business and attended the
funeral
The services began by an invocation on
the organ, followed by beautiful quar-
tette, "Into the Silent Land" Rev. Mr.
Wright of st. Lawrence street church
offered prayer, Rev. Mr.. Gate, the pastor
of the church, read the Soriptural burial
service, after which the quartettte sang
'Thy VIII Be Done"
Rev. Mr.. Cate then spoke very strong
ly and feelingly of Mr.. Deering. He said
the congregation gathered in sorrow, but
our poor hearts do not for moment
doubt that the gain to him is immeas-
urable. His circle of friends in church
and out, was wide spread. He was useful
in his life and honored in his death. The
pastor then gave a sketch Of Mr.. Deer
ing's life. He told how determined he
was when in hisboy hood to, educate him
self, and that out Of a 50 week salary,
he expended great part in books. He
remained student all through his life.
His breadth of thought was remarkable.
He devoted himself to many things and
did every one we'll. For SO years he was
deacon of Plymouth church, not
deacon in name, but with heart and
mind oonsecrated to the work. He was
treasurer for % years of struggles, the
helper and inspirer of others in good
work for the church. He had been three
school, and was a most painstaking
teacher; three years president OF the
Home Missionary Society, Is yea re- a
trustee of Bates College, and member
of the executive board a trustee of Storer
College, West Virginia; ten years presi-
dent Of the Ocean Park Association. He
was never much interested in foreign
missions. He was always deeply interest
ed in local affairs. Gave the same in
telEigence, the same fervid earnesrness to
the church matters that he did in his
business life. In fact the religion of
his business life was the religion of his
church and vice versa. This church in
which all were assembled, was really
the best monument to Mr.. and Mrs
Deer1ng. Mr.. Gate also spoke of the
great size of the Sunday school of the
church in proportion to the church mem
bership, and closed with fervid tribute
to the grand character of the deceased
Prof. Anthoine of Bates College, then
offered prayer, after which the quartette
sang again and the services were over.
The pail bearers were Lindley M. Webb,
Jededlah Wheeler, Deacon Lewis Jones,
Joseph Mann, George Owen and f.
Aagerson.
There were number of beautiful floral
emblems including superb standing
cross from the Rufus Deering Company
employees.
The interment was at Evergreen ceme-
terry.

simply about the methods of producinr

planes can be converted and made to do
service in the new way of working. The
change, therefore, is said to be one of
little expense. and this. combined with the
great expected saving in labor and run

reason to the Pullman engineers and d.

that the experiment has proved success

extension of the system to all parts of the
great factory.
