To Consolidate Paper Business

New York, September 25.-The Com
mercial Advertiser today says: The
plan to consolidate the larger paper
manufactures, which was talked 6
last year, has been revived. 1t was as
serted this forenoon that concessionS
having all been made by all concerned,
it was now probable that the consolida-
ton would be effected. At the local
office Of the Glens Falls Paper Com
pany, No. 63 Park Row, it was said that
a meeting of the most prominent man.
ufacturerS would be held in this city
in about ten days, at which it was
expected final action would be taken.
The purposes of the consolidation are
to control the output and to reduce
the expenses Of operation. 1t was said
this forenoon that the consolidation
would benefit the producer, while it
would not increase the prices cOnsum-
ers now pay. I'm the first place." said
a sales agent. there is to be a large
reduction in the number of statesmen
required under the present system.
Mills are to be required to do business
il the territory in which they are l@
Gated. At the present time, weste
mills sell to consumers in the east ana
Maine mills sell to consumers in the
south. The result is that a large
amount of money is wasted in paying
freight. This abuse is to be stopped
A number of other trade conditions are
to be changed and money saved" An
other object of the consolidation is to
develop the export trade which is al
ready growing rapidly.

Rumors of Urgent Naval Preparation

Washington, September 25.-The re-
cent transfer of some seventy-five sail
ors from New York to San Francisco,
the purchase of some service shells, and
a reported conference of naval militia
officers with Acting Secretary Roose-
welt at the navy yard have given rise
to a suspicion Of hostile intentions on
the part Of the navy department which,
it may be stated on the best authority,
are not at all we'll founded. AS a mat
ter Of fact, there has been no confer
ence of naval militia officers at the
navy department or elsewhere. the
commander of the Michigan naval
militia is expected at the navy depart
ment Monday or Tuesday next, but
his mission is confined entirely to re-
porting upon the possibility Of getting
the old Yantic up through the lake
canals to Detroit. The supplies con-
tracted for have been purchased by act
of congress in accordance with esti-
mates last year and were in accord
ance with the usual routine and finally
the navy department has been making
no preparations at all out of the ordi-
nary run of business.

forthwith this remarkable Paine's celery

and rapidly, but steadily, without ceasing,

Tom Burch's Brother in Irouble-A
Tramp Painter in Prison
The house of Burch is doing what 1t
can to keep the mills of justice grinding.
In this they are being very materially as
sisted by the Brookses.
These two colored families seem 70 pc
composed entirely of criminals without
single redeeming trait in single mdIyad-
ual member They spend most OF thelr
time in Jail, penitentiary or workhouse;
and when they are not there they are en-
gagged in something that will eventual
ly get them there.
Old man Burch, the father of the fami-
1v Is in the penitentiary serving out
3o-year sentence. Tom Burch, the Oldest
SON is in iail for burglary with a bullet
hole in his head. Charles Burch, an
other brother, has been engaged IN several
shady tranastions. And the younger
brother. Frank was yesterday sent 10 JAM
to stand trial at next term of court for
stealing q pistol. He was c0mmltued

0llV IL Efa11h NJuAdAANS SiO0'A@
were in the room. 1t was missed amne-
diateIy. but the boys escaped. This was
January 18th, 1896.
Since that time Brooks has been sent
TO the penitentiary for five years and
Burch to the workhouse for one year for
larceny. Burch finished his sentence
IN December. Almost the first day of
his liberty, he took q fancy to a suit of
clothes exposed for show by a Whining
ton street Jew and was sent back to the
roads. The other day he was released
again. But his liberty again was of
short duration Smiths clerk recognized
him on the street as the man who took
the pistol and had him arrested.
Burch said that Brooks took the pistol,
but he couldn't convince Mayor Russ of
tho fact. so he was sent TO jail.

meet the cuts. 1t is stated ON good au-

the cut is a serious one, and some cog

be taken An attempt will be made. i'll

cessful unless that line can have positive
assurance that its competitors will not

The Old Bonds Amount to 100000
and the New Ones to Si,5oo,ooo--
The Mortgage One of the Larg-
est Ever Recorded Here.
The Raleigh and Castor Railroad Com
pany has filed mortgage in the Office of
the register of deeds of this county for
$1,5O0,o0o
This mortgage is to secure 3 per cent
bonds to the amount of 81 100000 which
the company has succeeded in placing.
One million of this viii be used in tax
ing up the s per cent bonds to that a
mount NOW outstanding and due Janua-
ry /, 1898.
The remaining half million will Of
course be a fund belonging to the Raleigh
and Castor Railroad Company. 1t is
said that it win be used in backing De
Witt Smith and his associates in the con-
struction of the road from Ridgeway to
Petersburg. This road viii shorten the
distance from Raleigh to Petersburg a
bout 40 miles In other words it will
move this city 40 miles further north or
one hours travel nearer Richmond,
Washington, Philadelphia and New
York
The wisdom Of the company in taking
up these outstanding 8 per cent bonds
with new 5 per cent ones is seen when
it IS remembered that the company, by
this decreased rate of interest, gets ST.
100000 for $4,000 year less than it has
heretofore been paying for S1,O00,0O0.
For the S1,000,000 at s per cent the
company paid $4,000 d year; for the ST.
100000 at 5 per cent it win pay only
$75, 900 a year.
This means much for the Seaboard
system and has already created a furry
IN, Raleigh and CASTOR stock. Those who
have are Loaf to part with it at any price,
until they can realize the full meaning
of this deal.
This mortgage comprises seventeen
written pages and is probably the largest
instrument of the kind, both as TO ITS
length and the amount involved, ever
recorded in Wake county.
