RUMORED LIGHT DEAL
United Gas Improvement
Company Said To Have
Absorbed Hoboken
Concern.

| The refusal of the Hoboken Common
| Council to grant the North River Heat
| Light and Power Company a franchise
| in that town has resulted unexpectedly.
| The stock OF the new electric light COM
pany has been purchased by the Hudson
| County Gas Light Company, the stock
| holders having received ten per cent on
| their investments. The big deal was con-
| summated last evening, but did not be-
| come known in Hoboken until this morn
| ing, when 1t created a furor in official
circles and elsewhere. Just what signi-
! ficance it will have no one yet knows,
| but gossip concerning it is fast. and furi-
/ Gus. The transfer is a peculiar one, as
not all of the electric stock has been
transferred to the Hudson County Com
pany. The Hoboken Land and Improve
ment Company owned a comfortable
| block of shares in the North River Com
| pany prior to the sale. and the stock that
was transferred was that owned by A.
| K. Bonita. Edward r. Stanton and
others.
| No official information of the sale could
| be had in Hoboken this morning, but ru-
NOR has It everywhere that the negotia-
tions for the disposal of the stock were
made by Miles Tierney, one of the big
gest shareholders in the gas company,
and A. K Bonita. When seen at noon by
News man Mr.. Tierney said the deal
had not yet been consummated, but 1t Is
declared on reliable source that the pa
pers in the transaction have already been
filed.
1t is also known to be true that the
former stockholders of the electric COM
pany have been paid off, number or
them going so far as to exhibit the money
in Hoboken this morning.
The Gas Company is said to have pur-
chased the electric stock with view OF
selling it again to the United Gas Inn
provement Company, and the knowing
ones say the ABSORPTION is nothing else
but pure financial speculation. Palmer
Campbell, who is connected with both the
Hoboken Land and Improvement Com
pany and the Hudson County Gas Light
Company, however, claims that the stock
he held in the electric company has been
sold and this and other peculiar phases
of the transfer is keeping people guess
ing
The Gas Company, 1t Is said. has al
ready named the price 1t wants for the
electric stock and it is believed that the
United Gas Improvement Company will
lose no time in purchasing it,
One who is in position to know what
he was talking about said this afternoon
that he could not see what the North
River Company had to sell, seeing that it
had no charter or contracts. AS TO lhe
United Gas Improvement Company's con-
nection with the rumors it was no secret
that the company had been negotiating
for the purchase of the Hudson County
Gas Light Company for some time and
he thought the deal would eventually be
made.

among the conductors while he was in
the employ of the company.

Frederick Taaschlien, motorman, who
testified that Barrow told him three
months ago that he (Barrow) was king of

At this point Mr.. Howe recalled Bar
row, who denied the statement of the last
witness. This practically closed the case
and Mr.. Howe entered upon his sum-
ming up for the defence.
Justice Fursman, in his charge, told tho
jury that they were not to be swayed py
public clamor or excitement in reaching
a verdict The jury had the case less
than half an hour when the returned

new trial was denied and Justice Furs-
man sentenced Barrow to fourteen years
and ten months in Sing Sing prison. Tbs

then called for sentence. Abraham Levy,
her attorney, pleaded for mercy for her,
