The Harbor's Dead.
But the harbor does not always give
UP its dead so easily. There is one lit
tie bay on Staten island near the gov
ernment's revenue and quarantine sta
ton, however, into which an average
of 100 human derelicts float every year.
This is a harvest not to be despised
for the local coroner, who is also an
updertaker. He watches the New York.

identifcations. If he succeeds the
friends of the dead usually give him

Interested In Automobiles.

More recent even than the develop
ment of compressed air as a motive
power is the rise of the automobile as
means of street traction and trans
portatiOn. The trio saw it coming, in
terpre1ed its meaning, and realized the
desirability Of getting ii into line with
their other enterprises. They began by
securing control of the electric storage
company of Philadelphia. Since then
other companies have been organized in
New York and Chicago. and super
visory company has been formed. which
is to have the general direction Of the
electric vehicle business in the different
cities.
Aside from these giant interests the
members OF the Whitney Widener-F,l
kins syndicate have been prominent in
the organization OF the tobacco trust
and the American Spirits company. bet
ter known as the whisky trust, and
they are stockholders in the Pennsyl-
vania and other railroad companies.
All Are Multi-millionaires.
How great are the fortunes of these
men, or how much they have made
within the past few years since they
have been acting in combination, it
would be impossible to say. Mr.. Wild
ener is commonly rated as possessing
between $4,000, 600 and $4,000 900. Mr..
Elkins is supposed to be worth upward
of $30.000.0 900. Mr.. Whitney's fortune
has frequently been estimated at S30.-
600. 600. But the significant thing about
these men is not the extent of their
own fortunes 50 much as il is the vast
ness of the capital which they control
and the financial power which they

Annex Chicago Through Yerkes.

While the corporation kings were
adding New York TO their dominion,
they were busy under cover of the
name and through the person of their
agent, Yerkes, in carrying out the same
process in Chicago. The progress of
the street railway trust and gas COM
bine in the western metropolis was so
thoroughly discussed at the recent mu-
nicipal election that it is tolerably ia
maliar. At the present time Yerkes has
retired from the nominal control of the
Chicago systems, and they are openly
under the direction of the Whitney

tst Maine Heavy Artillery to b Musiered Out.
March 81, 1t Savannah, c..

The particulars regarding the muster
out of the 1st Maine Heavy Artillery
were received, Wednesday, for the first
time since the battalion has landed in
Savannah. Ga There have been many
rumors and suppositiOns but the first
real news regarding the events, was re-
ceived from Captain Crockett of Bat
terry A. in letter to Col. G. A. Phil
brook of this city.
Captain Crockett announces that the
orders are to muster out the batteries
on the 31st day of March at Savannah
Ga. The men are to be given two
months extra pay and also travel pay
home. This travel pay amounts to a
good sum for each mile and is SO large
that the men can save money from it.
Each of the transportation companies
will doubtless have agents at the camp
and will contract to bring the men
home. each man making his own con-
tract and buying his own ticketas they
will no longer be under the control of
the officers after the 31st. if mustered
out of the service.
Captain Crockett said they We're six
days from Havana to Savannah due to
four days passed at quarantine. He
says the officers are working night and
day in their endeaVOrs to be ready by
the 31st The captain who has the larg
est battery. has six clerks and the Off
GERS at work. He says 1t is probable
that the officers cannot come home as
soon as the men. as they will have so
many things to which they must at
tend. that they cannot leave at that
