Reported Sale of q Number of Luroe
Brewing Establishments to the
Syndicate

NEW YORK, n. Y, July 2S.-The Jour-
nal and Advertiser Today says: A consol-
idation of American brewers, ma sters
and hop-growers interested in the English
group of properties is now going through
the prelimjnaries OF organization in Phil
adelphia, Pittsburg, Detroit, Milwaukee,
st. Louis, Rochester, Baltimore and large
cities OF the country. The capitalization
will be, it is said, not less than $500, 000, 000
The projectors Of the new scheme are
organizing by States and making their
propositions to all brewers and maltsters
having well-establisheo business in the
main centers of population. These brew
ers are invited to join State com binations
in their trade, with 4 purpose afterward
of becoming memb bers of national brew
ing company. Up to this time the work
has been mainly in Pennsylvania. West
ern New York, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and
Missouri. Propositions have been sub
mItted 10 more than a hundred brewing
concerns in the States, chiefly in Fhila-
delphia, Pittsburg, Rochester, Cincinnati,
Chicago and St. Louis. Some of the larc
est as well as some of the smallest con-
Germs in the business are included in these
options.
In nearly every city where control is
thus sought the English brewing syndi-
cate owns large properties. Philadelphia
is said 10 be the headquarters of the new
company, and Pennsylvania is the COM
monwealth in which the first State organi-
Zaion was formed.
1t was learned yesterday that sealed
options for the sale of malthouse plants
valued at $4,000. 900 will be opened here
next Tuesday. the plants are located in
Chicago, Buffalo, Milwaukee and other
Western points. Seymore Scott of LYONS.
n. Y, is conducting the deals. Mr. Scott
denies that there is any connection be-
tween his enterprise and the proposed
consolidation OF breweries. An entirely
new corporation composed of New York
and Boston capitalists, he declares, will
take over the plants for cash, and where
ever practicable contracts will be drawn
TO retain present owners as managers at
annual salaries of $40 900.

SETTLEMENTS f0R THE poor.
Booth fuckers fIans to Establish
Families on Small flats Along the
Raiway in New Mexico.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 2S.-Commande- e.
Booth Tucker OF the Salvation Army, who
has recently returned from an extensive
trip in the west, during which he exaIn-
ined a number of tracts of land believed
to be especially suitable for colonization
purposes, has gained new enthusiasm for
his scheme of forming settlements for the
poor He said
II do not know yet where the colony
will be located which we hope to found,
but ii may be in the vicinity of Pueblo or
Albuquerque. There is plenty of good
land which has particularly attractive
features of climate, fertility, markets and
irri cation facilities. The plan is TO estab-
lish families on small piats OF ground
along the railway leading into the city,
these piats TO be of one or two acres near
the city, ana growing in size to five and
ten acres at greater distances the idea be-
ing that the smaller farms near the city
will be taken by men employed in various
occupations, who will carry on the indus
try and work in the soil of their little
fields
"It will require about $500 for every
family located in the colony which we
propose. The money which is TO establish
these farms We expect TO secure from per-
sons who will recognize in our plan a
sound business proposition, and we will
pay the m per cent on their money, al
though if they will loan for less tuat will
be so much the better.
Our plan is to place families on these
little farms free of charge. but the farms
will he soid to The m for $500 each, and un-
til that 5000 is paid they will be required
to pay 81 a week. That is at the rate of
10 per cent, half of which, of course, will
go 10 those advancing the money and the
rest will be invested fof the needs of the
community. 1t is intended that the ia mi
lies shall receive Instructions in raising
fruits and vegetables, caring for cows, at
tending to stock and doing the other
work which will make them self-support-
ing and fairly prosperous. The people to
be placed on these farms will be taken
from New York, Philadelphia, Pitsburg,
Cincinnati, Chicago and other cities"
