GAS COMPANIES CONSOLIDATE
Big Sensation Caused Thereby in FL
nanciaI Circles.

New York, June 1.-THE practical
consolidation of the gas companies Of
this city and Brooklyn has caused a
sensation in financial circles. Those
who have been engaged in the effort to
alnalgamate the various corporations
have vigorously denied that the con-
solidation had been finally settled. but
il is practically completed and the
plans agreed TO by those most largely
interested in the four companies.
The plan of the company is to manu-
facture all the gas used in Greater New
York in one great plant, which is now
pany This plant is located at Ravens
wood, Long Island. The real estate be-
longing to the Consolidated, the Equita-
BILE and the Standard, along the East
river, is to be disposed OF, and the
bonds of all the companies are to be
retired with the money realized on the
property. a handsome surplus will re-
main.
The companies concerned, the Con-
solidated. Standard, Equitable and
East River, have a total capital stock
of $50. AS, 000, two-thirds of which is
represented by the Consolidated. and a
bonded Indebtedness of $11, $50. GOO. The
real estate along the East river is con-
servatively estimated to be worth S2O.-
000, 600, and it is probably worth much
more. Besides the heads of the de-
partments. the labor of thousands of
workmen can be done away with and
the profits of 1886 are expected to be
doubled.
According 20 official statements. the
companies cleared S4,915,0 coo last year.
Some of the wealthiest financiers in
New York are interested in the con-
solidation. Among them are William
Z. Rockefeller and Russell Sage.

TALE OF a BUGGY.
Supposed to Have Been Stolen in
Ogden.


Sheriff Lewis is in possession of a
horse and top buggy belonging to some
unknown party. The rig came into the
sheriffs hands yesterday morning un-
der rather singular circumstances.
Early in the morning the city mar
shall of Bountiful and the sheriff of
Davis county notified the officials here
that an individual was driving about
the former place endeavoring TO sell a
horse and buggy. Sheriff Lewis at once
ordered the man arrested, although he
did not have knowledge of any such
trap being stolen. Deputy Sheriff Burt
then went up TO Bountiful to look at
the rig and the supposed thief. The
former he found in possession of the
officials there, but the driver had made
his escape.
According to the Davis county Of
ficers, they started in pursuit of the
man in the rig and overlook it. But
the man at the lines was no tenderfoot.
He jumped out and asserte1 with great
vehemence that the horse and buggy
belonged to his father and that he had
been intrusted to sell it. Upon being
asked he gave his name as Jensen and
his residence as Mill Creek. While this
was all going on the supposed thief
gradually made his way forward and
unstrapping the bride pulled it off and
udSneo away, WINE the TWO oHlcials
We're too surprised to pursue. And the
man has not been caught yet.
Deputy Sheriff Burt brought the
horse and buggy with him to this city
and will hold them until an owner is
found. The buggy is almost new and Of
a stylish make. The upholstering is
done in old plush and the lower part of
the trap is of the same color. The
horse is of medium size, light brown,
white star in forehead, and has dim
brand on the shoulder, which the of
ficials think is an M"

described as a short, heavy set man.

1t has been surmised that the rig is
the one which was taken from Ogden
on Thursday night and which is the
property of Mr.. Marriott of Marriott

Remarkable Time on a Preliminary

New York, June 1.-THE World says:
Passengers looking out of the windows
of a soutk-bound train on the Hudson
River railroad in the vicinity of Dobb's
ferry, saw the steam yacht Elliie, be-
longing to E. Burgess Warren of Phila-
delphia, racing down the river against
time, and incidentally she was making
almost as good time as the train. Timed
by two watches which agreed TO half
a second, the yacht covered i measured
mile in one minute, i215 seconds, which
is at the rate of 30 miles an hour. and
on the run preceding it she covered the
same distance in one minute. 81 seconds,
or at the rate of 32is miles an hour,
making the mean of the two
runs sS1a miles an hour. She is an open
yacht. so feet long, driving a single
three bladed wheel propelled by quad
ripple EXPANSION engines of 500 horse
power The engines, boiler, screw and
the hull, which is of mahogany, were
all designed by Charles D. Mosher of
this city. who also designed the fast
yachts Yankee Doodle, NADIA, Feiseon
and Norwood. He suoerintended the
running Of the engines in the run,
which was a preliminary one. Upon
her official trial. which is to lake place
in about ten DAYS. it is estimated thar
the boat will travel between So and so
miles an hour for she carried much
less steam than she can produce. To
any yacht on a speed trial conditions
were not favorable. The wind blew
dead ahead at least x miles an hour
when the Ellide made her first run np
the river. The seas were from three to
four feet high, and there was an ebb
tide of quite two knots against her. Still
she made this run. shipping nothing but
spray and leaving a wake no bigger
than a motor launch in the time stated
one minute. 81 seconds. The return
run, in one minute, 42ls seconds. was
made with a heavy following sea wiTh
the wheel racing at times.
