phia and Pittsburg has at last been real
lied.
The Siemens-Haskell Electric Company.
with its big factory in Chicago, is now be-
ing consolidated with the Pennsylvania
Iron Works of Philadelphia. A majority of

ready been exchanged for the stock of the
Pennsylvania. The minority stockholders
have been given sixty days in which to
accept the offer of the eastern concern.
With a combined capital of $3.25oUO0. the
railway machinery for the four big cities.
The first move of the projected consolida-
ton of the two companies was cleaned

nopoly of supplying machinery for the rail-
ways BY the consolidation of the COM

1t Is impossible to ascertain in just what

or the New York committee, and by some
1t is asserted that the house of J. p Nor

Col. Selden is another strong player, a
good locator of the cards. an expert at
double DUNN y, a good whist and chest
analyst. and though knowing the rules
does his own thinking when he faces his
partner in a contest.
Mr.. Rines of the Elsmere is one of the
strongest players in the club. a close read
er of the cards and a dangerous opponent
on your right, leading through strength
with great judgment. He has had more OPP
portunities for diversified playing than has
fallen to the lot of most club men, and is
a good mixer and will strengthen any team
In the city.
There will he many chances for the
younger pie yers in the Atlantic auxiliary
contests, as teams OF twelve, sixteen, twen-
ty and tventy-four will be lined up against
each other, and tournament playing brings
out the strong points. such as steady
nerves and an ability to cope with whist
strategists.

Although the news of the suspension was at
tended by statements Of belief that the trou-
bles were merely local, the effect was to I'M

The bars wre also helped by the prevailing
uneasiness regarding possible congressional
