BRIDGEPORT.

In a town not one hundred miles
away from here there is a man popular
throughout the section of the country
with his fellow men who went away
not many days ago on a Journey. Be
ing a lover of the great American
game-poker-he was roped In won
derfully. He had been used to drop
ping a few of his "plunkS'' In a little
social game, but this time he got in the
wrong class, for according to the best
information hat can be secured he left
about $500 with the sharps who rung
in a cold deck. In connection with
this it might be stated that the two
men who skinned a Wheelingite Of
something like $1,000 were seen about
the town lately, consequently hard luck
stories may be expected most any
time.

STILL

The Philippines editor of the Four
teenth street organ is still at it. He
has not yet recovered from the contem-
plation of the sad farce displayed to
the sneering world by the celebration
of Independence Day in the Philippine
Islands, whose people the administra-
ton at Washington is %endeavoring to
deprive of the independence they seek.
No wonder it worries our partisan
contemporary. 1t is calculated to worry
and is very seriously worrying very
much greater and much calmer and
more lucid intellects than his.
What a roaring farce, indeed, was
the celebration of the Fourth of July,
including the reading of the Declara-
ton of independence, at Manila.
There is not a sentiment nor a line
in that grand document, which meant
SO much to our struggling fo~refathers,
that the present administration in it's
un-American var of conquest has not
grossly outraged. No wonder the adj
ministration pack, composed of mer-
cenary organs like our neighbor, whine
and yelp under the lash of patriotic
truth.
1t is a pretty figure, indeed, our Wall
street-owned administration has forced
the United States to cut before the eyes
of the world on Independence Day! 1t
requires no stretch of the imagination
to see European royalty and it's privy
counsellors mockingly laughing in their
| sleeves and congratulating one another
on the overthrow of the Spirit of '76 at
Washington. 1t is SO exactly in line
with their evil prophecies as to the
short life of the North American Re-
public.
But if the world abroad snickered
and sneered at the pitiful farce of the
celebration of Independence Day in a
land we were trying to deprive of its
independence, it was not so received
in this country, where patriotic and
consistent Americans felt more like
weeping at the bitter mockery.
II was, to thinking people, a damper
on an otherwise glorious Fourth.

President DOVE said:

officers were equally reticent on this
point, but, in a general way, they de-
clared there would be no break in the
friendly relations existing between the
Vanderbilt and the Pennsylvania people,

there would be any friction in that quar-

Net Dividend of n Little over Eight

BOSTON, June 30-Simultaneously with
the meeting of the New York Central di-
rectors in New York, the Boston & AL
bany directors came together in this city,
although President Bliss was absent at
tending the New York meeting. After a
spirited debate the meeting passed the
resolution renewing the lease, with the
proviso, however, than an s per cent divi-
dend, payable quarterly, shall be guaran-
teed by the New York Central road, and
also that 100000 in money or property
shall be reserved by the Boston & Albany
road. This sum consists of the trust i'm
provement fund of the road, and other
funds which have been laid by for i'm
provements and expenses If the road is
turned over to the New York Central it
will not be necessary to use these funds
for the purpose for which they were in
corporated This sum of $4,000, coo, in
vested at the current rates of interest
would mean return of at least one-half
of one per cent additional to the stock
holders, so that the proposition, stated
broadly, is that the stockholders of the
Boston & Albany will derive net divi-
course this provision may be affected by
various after considerations. In the first
case it must be remembered that the
proposition is to be voted on by the
stockholders who meet in annual session
on Sept. II. Then 1t must be approved by
the legislature. If all these bodies are
favorable, July 1, 1900, will find the new
tenants in control.

MATCH TRUST PLANS.
Edwin Gould VIII BE PIacated and
Made q Director

IL DIFeCVOF.
CHICAGO, June 3O.-Formal notice will
be sent tomorrow to the stockholders of
the Diamond Match company, of a meet
ing to be held July 81 at which they will
be asked to authorize an increase of the
capital stocks of the company by $40 -
O0O AT present the authorized and out
standing issue is $11, 100000 The object is
primarily to terminate the cut-throat
competition which has been impairing the
profits for several years. This will be ac-
complished by securing control of or max
ing terms with some Of the outside match
factories which have been troublesome.
Chief among them Is the Continental
plant Of Edwin Gould. Mr.. Gould has
lately acquired large holdings Of Diamond
Match stock, and with the shares of the
new issue, which he will obtain, he will
become one of the largest holders of Dia-
mond securities. To provide for this the
stockholders will elect two additional
men, making the board consist of seven
instead of five members. Who the seventh
member will be has not been fully decid-
ed.
The new stock will be offered to pres
ent holders at the ratio of l to at par.
and the rest will be placed at the dis
pcsal of the directors, for the benefit of
the company The money thus obtained
will be used to discharge the floating in
debtedness of the company, and to en-
large and extend its American business.
The floating debt referred to is supposed
to represent money spent in bringing
about peace with the outside plants.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jnne 3o.-A fitting
finale to Miwaukee's great midsummer
carnival was the gorgeous pageant of
twenty floats, which moved from the out
skirts Of the city down town and through
the principal streets. II had required a
large corps Of artists several months to
prepare the designs, and not until tonight
was the secret unfoldes to the public.
The feast that awaited the hundreds of
thousands of carnival patrons amply re-
paid them for their long wait and, judg-
ing from the enthusiasm ali along the
line, expectations were more than full
filed. The floats rivalIed in richness any
thing ever seen in the West
The subjects of the floats embraced
nature and the elements, emotions and
stories of myth and fable. The figures
on the floats were reported by the turn
ers' society of Milwaukee.
Col Harry S. Fuller was chief marshal,
attended by numerous aides. The page
ant was escorted by the Milwaukee light
horse squadron each section being led by
a band of music.
