Pittsburg and the Philadelphia COM
pany, which controls the. United Trac-

of that city and vicinity. The negotia-

ago, were continued here to-day. State
Senator Magee, of Pittsburg, who is
prominently identified with the traction
interests of that city, and Recorder OF
Deeds Won BOnnhorst, of Allegheny
county, had lengthy conference to-day
with P. A. B. Widener, who has large
traction interests in Pittsburg.
Senator Magee said tonight that the
negotiations looking to the merging OF
the traction company with the Amerl-
can Railways company of this city, had
reached a stage of certainty and tina:
the completion of the deal is only q
matter of days and perhaps only hours.
The principal factors in the deal in
addition to those named above are w.

Judge Ong's Application in Bankruptcy
h Not Granted by the Referee.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 19.-Har-
old Remington, referee in bankruptcy,
refused to-day to discharge former
Common Pleas Judge Walter c. Ong
from bankruptcy. Ong became vol
untary bankrupt some time since, with
liabilities Of over forty thousand dol
lars, an assets Of less than two thous-
and. Some of the creditors resisted
his discharge on the ground that he
had made false oath to his assets, and
that some of the assets had been con-
cealed. The hearing was long and at
times sensational. Referee Remington
to-day, in a long decision, held that
the charges made by the creditors was
true and he refused to grant Ong a dis
charge.
