FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
CAPITAL STOCK OF AN ELECTRI-
CAL COMPANY.
Combination Formed in Order to Get
a Tight Grip on Equipping Elec-
tric Street Railways.

Chicago, June 24.-The Times Herald
says: The long cherished plan OF
Charles T. Yerkes.. the street railway
magnate. to manufacture all machinery
needed by street railways in Chicago,
New York, Philadelphia and P-itsburS,
has at last been realized.
The Siemens- Hals,1cl Electric COM
pany, with its big f-~tcry in Chicago,
is now consolidated with the Penns--l-
vania Iron Y. orks of Philadelphia
majcr ~ OF the stock of the Chicago
Germany has already been exchanged
for the stock of the Pennsylvania. The
minority stockholders have been given
co days in which TO accept the offer Of
the eastern concern.
With a combined capital of 3.2aO,O5O
the two companies Will manufacture
street railway machinery for the four
big cities The first news OF the pro-
iected consolidation of the two COM
panies was CLEANED from the results of
the annual meeting of the Chicago con-
Germ.
The directors elected at that meeting
are: Charles e. Yerkes, Chicago; W.
l. Elbins, jr.. Philadelphia; r. Suydam
Grant. New York; Chaeles Z. Yerkes.
Chicago: B. H. Grist, Philadelphia; f.
W. Whiteridge. New York; w. E. But
Ter, New York; Z. T. Reece, New York;
Martin Maloney, Philadelphia.
The new directors are c. T. Yerkes.
w. Z. Elkins, jr., and B. w. Grist.
Mr.. Elkins is the son of w. L. FL
kins, sr. of Philadelphia. The directors
then elected a set of officers headed by
Charles z. Yerlies. a son of Charles E.
Yerl1es of Chicago. Whether the name
of the Chicago concern viii be dropped
or changed has not yet been decided.
The entrance OF the big street railway
men OF Chicago. New York, Philadel
phia and Pittsburg into the field of
manufacture will cut, it is said, t.e-
mendous figure with the electric COM
panies, that have practically had a mo-
ncpoly of supplying machinery for the
railways. BY the consolidation of the
companies Mr.. Yerkes and his COL
leagues will be able to manufacture
electric machinery at the lowest cost
and Will have the contracts from all the
big street car companies in the country
filled at Chicago.

ment OF the people. have requested the

an opinion relative 10 the circumstances

waii had arisen. The government was
aware that q proposal TO annex Hawaii
TO the United States had been submitted

the closing session of the United
Lutherans today. An important mat
ter came uD in the shape of a motion
to divide the society in three parts.
The idea is 10 have three small annual
conventions and a meeting of the whole
church every third year. The prop
osition was indefinitely postponed.
Nine preachers, having transgressed
the constitution of the church and also
spurRed the resolution OF 1898 with
reference to the ordination of theolo-
sical candidates. were practically ex-
communicated from the church. II is
very probable that many more will be
accommodated at the next conven-
ton as it is reported that there are. q
ministers who favor the Augsburg side
Of the case.
\ lively discussion arose over the
resolution of thanks for the manner in
which the publishing house had been
conducted. \ flutter was caused when
Rev. Skaret moved that all patent
medicine advertisements be taken out
of the church papers. The motion was
carried.

How Portland Society Lambs Gamble
Der the Green.

| Portland has gambling house owned
by women, operated by women and
patr0nized by women This is the
chance discovery made by Detective
Welsh while he was engaged upon a
recent case. This gambling house, says
the detective, is in one of the finest
buildings in the heart of the city. and
no one unless possessing the secret
would suspect that such a place ex-
listed
The establishment consists of four
rooms, in one of which faro is dealt by
a female dealer, and stud poker also
holds forth. The second is for short
cards, the third is a refreshment room
with a bar as elegantly fitted UP as the
most fastidiOus would care to patronize
and the last apartment is a dressing
room. presided over by a discreet ne
gress as black as a coal pit. The gam
bling house, says Welsh. is conducted
by two grass widows" bet ring excel
lent regulations among many of their
acquaintance, who are ignorant of this
novel enterprise into which they
launched the latter part of last month.
The rooms are fitted up in a style Dor
dering upon princely luxury, and must
have cost a handsome dot. 1t appears to
be q good investment for the two wild
ows and d certain elderly capitalist who
the money expended upon the novel
project.
Welsh ascertained that the two Wild
ows have an extensive acquaintance
with a good class of society women who
are possessed of means. or who have
access TO the bank accounts of their
male relatives.
There were. perhaps, dozen who had
desire to gamble as men do. To these
could easily be preached the scheme,
which so far has proved a success. They
encouraged it by the promise of secur-
ing the patronage of other women sim
ilarly inclined.
The games run full blast from TO
o'clock every afternoon except on Sun
days, and so far the owners have won
more than the original cost Of fitting UP
their luxurious apartments.
They have no need of personally adj
vertising their scheme now. as their
patrons do that for them, whether they
lose or win. They claim that none but
women enjoying good repute are adj
lnitted to their gambling hall by means
Of a card OF introduction. AS soon as
their resort gains notoriety they viii
close its doors.

WORK OF VANDALS,
ATTEMPT TO WRECK A RIO
GRANDE TRAIN.
Switch Locks Broken and Switches
Turned Half Way One and One
half Miles From Leadville.
fsnecial to The Herald,


Leadville, Colo, June 24.-There was
considerable excitement here today
over what apears to be an attempt to
wreck the Rio Grande passenger train.
The attempt was discovered, how
ever, before any damage was done, and
the officers are nonplussed over the af-
fair Two switch locks were broken.
and the switches were turned half
way, on the Rio Grande road, about
half a mile west of the city. No. train
was late, and the switch engine pre-
ceding it discovered that the switch
had been tempered with. The Rio
Grande officials were puzzled over the
matter and so are the officials of the
city, who are investigating it. The
place where the switch locks were
broken and the switch turned is very
near the Arkansas Valley smelter. and
it would not appear that if robbery
had been the motive that the attempt
would have been made so near the city.
The officers are quite certain that the
men who broke the lock and prepared
for the wreck were mounted on horses,
as there are tracks of horses to be
found all around the vicinity.
