Papers Were Signed
Yesterday.
AIR POWER COMPA
1t Now Owns the Wheelock
Engine Concern.

Yesterday was day of big figures,
and in addition to the award of over
a half million which the Kettle brook
commission made the mill owners from
Atlanta to the sea-" the officials of
the International Air Power Company
claim that they dropped nest egg of
100000 in this city.
The transaction in question was the
formal passing of the papers by which
the American Wheelock Engine Com
pany of this city becomes the property
of the international Air Power Com
pany, which was recently Incorporated
under the laws of New Jersey, with
a capitalization Of several millions.
The report of the absorption of the
Wheelock Engine Company of this city
by the Air Company was made some
time ago, and counsel for the COM
pany said yesterday that the formal
papers transferring the plant, prop
erty, business and goodwill, had been
signed and recorded. Checks were
given the local stockholders on the
Chemical National Bank, and the Off
Gals of the company left in town what
they had brought with them.
The American Wheelock Engine Com
pany, which now merges it's existence
in the larger concern, has been under
the control of Alfred H. Hoadley of
this city and Joseph II. Hoadley of New
York. The company has been in OPP
GRAFTON in Worcester In the develop
ment of the compressed air metaNsls
for several. years, and has won a name
universal.
Henry w. King, who has been the
counsel for the local company, and who
is also interested in the International
Air Power Company, looked after the
legal end, and had the papers c mrlet-
ing the transfer recorded at the proper
registry.
Mr.. king left Worcester at 44O
o'clock for Providence, where he will
make the transfer of the Rhode Island
locomotive works to the International
Air Power Company, as he did here.
The amount involved in the transac-
ton as given out, is several hundred
thousand of dollars. The papers will
be signed today, and the International
Air Power Company will take formal
pc session.
When asked about the policy that
would be pursued by the International
Air Company as regards Its Worces-
ter plant, Lawyer King said that it
would continue its work as it had con-

itself to the production of air motors,

1t is assured that Edward X. Hill,
who has made such an efficient man
ager of the Wheelock Engine Company,
will be retained in his position.
At present the local concern is not
engaged upon any order for auto trucks
from the An can Express Company,
but there ha. been several confer
ences between the express officials and
the air men, and their order is ex-

duced to-taken from PARIS Bank. will
therefore not represent a loss unless
the crisp little billets have some day to
be duly honored at the Bank of Eng
land counter. In that case the cash
PAID in exchange for them will have

dered bank.
Many years ago a bank director lost
note for $1500OO. But being a man of
credit and as there was no doubt about
the loss of the bill, he gave the usual
indemnity and got the money. MANY
years after, when the man had long,
peen dead, the paper was presented. It
was payable on demand, and had come
from abroad in the ordinary wav of
business and the sum it represented
mad to be handed over. and as the in
uemhlty that had been given was re-
pudiated by the heirs of the man, who
mad given it. and for some reason could
not be enforced, the bank on thai Oc-
casion had to put $4,000 on the debit
side of the account, For once in a way
they paid double honor to a bit of their
own paper.
There is another story of a sum of
100000 which the bank in it's early DAYS
for short time refused to hand 9,e,, in ;,
exchange for its own notes. They
We're presented by a Jew. whose as
sertion that he had bought them was
not disputed, and whose personal in
tegrity was above suspicion. They had
however, undoubtedly been stolen. and
on that ground the bank refused to nav
the money The Jew went out into the
city and began to spread it abroad that
the bank was shaky, and couldn't cash
his notes, and as he backed his asser-
ton by displaying his indisputable pa
per, the assertion would in all proba
blllty soon have caused a run on the
pahk' ana in few minutes a messen-
ger came TO say that the notes wo1Ild
be cashed if he would present them

own private estimate of what the
award would be was double the figures
given by the Bumpus commission or
about $1,2OO.00O. Mr.. Vaughan tele.
sraphed the amount of the award to
his clients yesterday afternoon, and a
conference will probably be held soon
to determine what action to take.
Ex-District Attorney Herbert Parker
when asked about the award, re-
marked: "A very discreet and conser-
vative award. From my knowledge of
the claims, l should say it was very
just"
City Solicitor Arthur P Rugg said:
The award is rather large. 1t is much
more than we admitted, and why
should it not be considered a victory
for the mill owners? The city is not
satisfied with the award
Col. w. S. b. Hopkins, who has been
in the front of the legal battle from
start to finish, and who was the city
solicitor when the suits were first en-
tered against the city, said: The
award is fully large enough for the
damages. 1t is less than l thought it
would be. The city ought to be pretty

that the award was not final, and the
cases could be appealed if either side
so wished. Mr., Goulding stated that
he would consult with his clients be-
fore he would announce what action
would be taken.
Lawyer Henry W. King. who APP
peared for the Kent interests, was seen
as he was about to board g. car, and
said: We are very much disappointed

BANK OF ENGLAND.

1t is a fact, that to MANY minds, no
doubt, must be very curious, that the
Bank of England has always haG a
pretty steady source of profit in the
loss and destruction of ITS bank notes.
What it has gained of late years in
this way we are unable to say, but
during period of forty years prec I'd
ing 1882, the bank had made clear

STRANGE MOUNTAIN MICE.
Curious Species Found on Mount ST.
Helens in Oregon.

When the vanguard of the recent
Mazama expedition to the summit of
Mount st. Helens arrived at the top
OF the mountain they moved some OF
the fragrants or rocks to get at the
box containing the record of noun
tain-climbers who had reached the
peak. This disturbed a mouse that
had his habitation in that desolate
spot, and to escape from the men who
were taking such unauthorized lib
critics with his home he left the two
or three square yards of rock and
scampered off over the snow that
stretched an unbroken surface away
on all sides. There he was easily
caught, and Charles II. Sholes brought
the timid creature back to Portland
with him. The mouse took kindly to
his new environment and is alive and
Aourishing now not having suffered
any appreciable discomfort by the
great change in the altitude of his
abiding place. The top of the noun
tain is about 10000 feet above the sea.
The rodent is described as rather
large ears and a very long tail, being
of the usual mouse color above the
white underneath. He is active and
silent but watchful He is believed
to be OF the same kind as the mouse
found a few years ago on the top of
Mount hood. His description has
been sent to the biologist OF the ex-
petition. but failed to make con
nections in time If he shall find
the little beast to be a new noun
tain climber, a special examination
will be made into his case. and
mousie may become famous and have
his portrait in the learned books of
science.

about two weeks. and seemed to be
well fed and lively. though what he
