Believed In Wall Street That
These Two Roads Will
Consolidate.

Cleveland Leader: The following spe-
cial dispatch from New York gives Wall
Streets idea of the consolidation of two
roads, rumor which was brought out
in the Leader:
The latest report about the Wabash
railroad is that 1t Is planning to extend
its eastern connections. 1t now reaches
from Kansas City to Buffalo, with lines
extending to Ottumwa, Des Moines,
Keokuk, Quincy and Omaha, and the
ambition Of its management, it is asser-
ted, is to have a line to Pittsburg. The
Wheeling & Lake Erie road is geograph-
ically in position to aid in this
scheme, and a strong belief prevails in
the west that IL there is not consolida-
tion of the Wabash and Wheeling G.
Lake Erie, a very strong alliance will be
formed.

VERDICT AGAINST
BANCROFT co.
BIOede Company Of Baltimore
Wins Its Suit
Plaintiff Impaired Certain Secret
Formulas on an Exchange Of
Stock

Baltimore, May 11.-Judge Morris.
United States district judge in this
city has handed down a decision in
the case Of Victor C. Bloede, of this
city, against the Joseph Bancroft and
Sons Company, of Wilmington, Del.
Three or four decisions resulting
from the litigation between this plain
tin and the defendants have been hand
ed down in Maryland and three in
Delaware, and have been uniformly
against the Wilmington company The
decision finds for the plaintiff for S1S,-
O12.
The history Of this case is that Vic
tor G. Bloede was employed by the
Bancroft Company as "a chemist and
discovered and originated many valu-
able dyes used by his company. They
desired to find out how BlOede made
the dyes in order to preserve the for
mulas i'm case of the discOverer' s
death. 1t was agreed between the COM
pany and BlOede that he should impart
the secrets provided that Bloede give
the Bancroft Company a certain num-
Der of shares of stock of the Victor G..
Bloede Co. and that they would give
him a like number OF shares in the
Joseph Bancroft and Sons Company, so
as to bind the interests of the two com
panies.
After the provisions of the agree
ment were effected and the desired in
formation obtained. and the Bloede
lCompany's profits falling away because
of the hard times from 1894 to 1896, the
Bancroft Company set up the plea that
1t was deceived in the stock and want
ed to get away from the contract.
In the case just decided, in which
Bloede is awarded S1S.O12, the Ban
croft Company raised for the first time
the plea of ultra wires, which was in
effect, saying that, although they made
a contract and that as they were now
a corporation and not a firm their
charter would not permit them to
make it and would take advantage OF
the technicality. The pleas seem to
have raised much criticism in Balti-
more.
Judge Morris did not sustain the pleas
and decreed accordingly in favor OF
I Blcede.
Messrs. Steele, Semmes and Carey. o.
this city. represented Bloede. George
r. Willis and Robert Biggs, OF this
city, and Messrs. Nields, Ward and Hill
les, Of Wilmington, conducted the cas-,
] before Judge Morris, for the Bancroft
4 Company.

SENATOR'S FAVOR
THE MUSEUM
Congress Will Appropriate
100000 for COntin-
uance and Support

In Washington yesterday the Senate
Committee ON Commerce discussed the
bill for the appropriation of 100000
for the continuance and support of the
Philadelphia Commercial Museum. Tho
question was hotly debated, and a ia
vorable report was made.
The Southern and some of the West
ern senators ON the committee We're
opposed to the bill. This opposition,
as stated in the committee room, was
due to the argument advanced by the
Dun and Bradstreets commercial agen-
cies. These concerns say that the mu-
scum furnishes ratings Of foreign mer-
chants to American exporters, and by
so doing is in competition with them in
their BUSINESS, to which they have given
years Of labor and large amounts OF
capital.
This view struck several members OF
the committee as being very favorable,
while to others it seemed absurd. The
commercial agencies give specific
classified ratings, but the museum does
not The latter's ratings are general
and merely amount to saying that GER
tain firms are reputable or trustwor-
lily 4NONAAilH ID NlolHA t4AAAAI4 kA A0AA Ntt
to the amount of capital invested, and
what extent of credit is safe in connec-
tiOn with foreign firms. BY a majority
of two the bill was ordered favorably
reported, and Senator Penrose made
the report during the morning hour in
the Senate.
MAY NOT PASS THIS SESSION.
There is little prospect for the pass
age of the bill this session, owing tC
the great pressure of business in tn,
few weeks that remain before adjourn
ment. Both House and Senate Com
mittees on Commerce have visited tn,
Philadelphia Museum, the institution
has many warm and strong friends
and it is claimed with great confidence
that the bill will pass next session be
yond all doubt.
