A BIG GAS WAR
In CITY OF BOSTON.
Powerful Syndicate Secures MaSSa-
chusetts Pipe Line.
Will Compete With Old Companies
and Fight TO u Finish.

New York, Oct. 6-The Journal and
Advertiser say:
A group of New York capitalists has
secured control of the Massachusetts,
Pipe Line Company of Boston. and has
formed a company known as the New
England Gas and Coke Company. TO take
over its charter. Interested in this syndi-
cats are Emerson Mcmillan & Co., Hol-
lister & Babcook, and William j.. Elkins
of Philadelphia, who is largely interested
in the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany.
The Dominion Coal Company which
was formerly controlled by Henry NJ.
Whitney, q brother of ex-secretary Whit
ney. has also passed into the control of
this same syndicate. This company
owns large deposits OF bituminous coal in
Nova Scotia and has regular line OF
barges carrying its product from the
mines to various New England points,
principally Boston.
The object OF the syndicate, which has
acquired these two products, is To manu-
facture coke, gas, and byeprodu9ts. IL
has already secured ground in Everett
ana Chelsea. near Boston, on tho lines OF
tho Boston a. Albany and Boston u
Maine railroads where coke plants OF 800
ovens will be constructed.
According to report this new com mbina-
tiOn will compete with the other gas
companies in Boston, beginning II gas
war when will be fought TO n finish. As
an indication OF the feeling Of the holders
of Bay State Gas Company stock, now
dominated by tho Standard Oil interests.
there is n general unlonding of the stock
which has greatly Gepressed its price.
A gas war in Boston would affect the
Bay State gas more than any other gas
property there. The Standard Oil Com
pany has enormous Interests in New
York. Chicago, Cleveland and many
other principal cities in the countries and
il there is 90 be war, "A gas war this in
tersst will be a prominent factor.

The evidence showed that the carpenter
OF the ship was exceedingly anxious to
avoid making the voyage to Rio Janeiro

ing in the ship were so great that on the
day preceding the sailing he, for the pur.
pose of securing his release. Intentionally

axe tho END of two fingers of his left
hand. But this mutilation did not sec ure
his release from the ship.
About one hour before the fire was dis
covered the carpenter told some of the
crew that before that time Monday they
would all be back in Pensala. A short
time. before the tire was discovered the
man was seen to approach the forward
ventilator with large roll of oakum in
bis hand. At p. m., smoke was seen
coming from the ventiator referred To.
Immediately efforts were made to ex-
tlnguish the fire. Captain Durham him
self went down the hatchway and was
almost suffocated by smoke. The crew
worked with will but TO no avail.
Finding IL impossible to save tho vessel
Captain Dunham ordered the crew into
the boats and laid astern of the ship. The

The ninth annual convention of the

of tho cigarmakers local unions OF New
England was called TO order at 10 q. IN.
today in Music Hall. with President 4.
L. Tracy OF Boston. in the chair. and l..
A. Bolio Of Westheld. Mass. secretary
pro tenn.
After tho preliminary business had been
disposed OF the president made his annual
report showing the state OF trade in the
various unions OF the conference. Other
reports followed from the secretary, treas-
urer and committee on credentials. after
which tho delegates from the several
unions made addresses. showing "A
marked increase OF tIade in their respoc-
tive centers.
The morning session adjourned at noon
until clock when the afternoon session
commenced. The minutes OF the morn
ing session were read and approved, after
which the delegates continued their ad-
dresses.
Several interesting features with regard
to the statistics In local unions were
brought out in these addresses, showing
a marked increase in mem bership. and
an abundance of work for all hands.
One speaker suggested that the boom OF
prosperity certainly must have reached
the New England States in n marked
degree, TO Judge from tho encouraging
reports given at both tho morning and
afternoon sessions.
This evening there will be mass
meeting in Music Hall under the auspices
of the Cigar Makers Local Unions Of New
England at which addresses will be made
py several distinguished speakers lnclud-
ing President 4. h. Tracey of Boston,
MIR. j. -. Parson Of Worcester. Mass. /,
and Mr. L. A. Bollo of Westfield Mass.
The conference was formed in 1890 for
tho purpose of bringing before the public
and particularly dealers and consumers
of cigars. the blue label of the Cigar
Makers International Union of America
Ii is comprised of the local unions of
New England, and is one of the strongest
of labor organizations in the Eastern
States.
The marked advantages of union
made cigar are obvious. The smoker Is
assured of obtaining a genuine ar ticle.
and not only that but everything relating
To it's manufacture is of first class
quality.
The clean factories and healthy condi-
tion under which union cigars are made
are decidedly preferable to those whose
vigor is in the tenement house, sweat
shop or prison.
A large amount of advertising matter
is annually distributed setting forth these
facts and addresses are made at public
meetings with the same purpose in view.
