BRIDGE TRUST
STILL GROWS
And Takes in Over Twenty
Four Bic Corporations
EDGE MOOR DEAL NOT FINISHED
LeWiSC. Vandegriit Says He Does Not
Know When the Trust Will
Absorb Delaware Plant

Papers were filed in Trenton yester-
day by the American bridge Company
for an increase Of its capitalization to
SIC, 100000. Of which sS5, 900, 900 will be
common stock. The original certif-
cate Of the company, which was filed
on April IA, authorized a capital Of
100000.
The new bridge trust" takes over
about four Of the principal bridge
building concerns in the United States
comprising So or 80 per cent. Of the en-
tire tonnage. The Edge Moor Iron
Company, at Edge Moor, is said to be
among the companies which will be
absorbed by the trust, but Lewis c..
Nandegrift, Of this city, says the
transfer Of the Delaware plant has not
yet been made.
The new company has been in pro-
cess of formation for many months,
and its promoters have met with many
obstacles. 1t was first projected early
in 1899 with Harrison & Co, Of New
York, as its financial sponsors. This
firm afterward dropped It.
lt was taken up later by ]. w.
Seligman & Co., of New York. Last
September representatives Of thirty
leading bridge companies. among
which was the Delaware corporation.
were brought together, and the tangled
affairs Of the proposed combination
were partly Strengthened, negotiations
being managed by l. Gifert Iadd.
Since then the project has been SLOWLY
brought into shape
EARNINGS OF THE COMPANIES.
According to audits made by Stephen
Little, Of New York, the average earn
ings Of twenty-four concerns to be
absorbed by the trust for various
periods from one to ten years prioi
to December 81, 1898. were S2,749, ,555 pei
annum. The average annual earnings
for the period since the audit were 81, ;.
2S2, ,l59. The estimated earnings foi
the curernt year on the basis Of con.
tracts reported by the company as OF
hand in March we're quoted by Mr.. Lit
/ tie at S6,201 ,046.
No cash is to be paid for the purchas,
of the Edge Moor Bridge Company. Tn,

Miss Canon read the following lines:
by way OF Introduction:
"Tis true, It's pity. and pity tbs It's

That in Mrs. Rawlins place greetings

Her heart and words are with you, as
we voted she should be,
But Providence planned otherwise,
And you, l trust, will sympathize.'

laughter

land, and proved very interesting and
complete Of detail. Mrs. Williams pre-
sented the greetings Of the Milford

Mrs. K. e. Smithers, of Smyrna,
brought greetings from the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, and she
had some very timely and helpful re-
marks to make along the line Of tenn
perance work. The Order of Colonial

ings of the Danes to the Federation.
Miss S. J. Hall, for the Daughters OF

The spider and thc Tuning TorI..


A gentleman was recently watching
some spiders. when it occurred TO him
TO try what effect the sound of a tun-
ing fork would have upon them. He
suspected that they would take 1t for
the buzzing of a fly. He selected n
large, ugly spider that had been feast
ing on fies for about two months. The
spider was at one edge of its web.
Sounding the fork. the man touched a
thread at the other side and watched
the result.
Mr.. Spider had the buzzing sound
conveyed TO him over his telephone
wires, but how was he to know on
which particular wire 1t was travel
ing? He ran to the center of the web
very quickly and felt around until he
touched the thread against the other
end of which the fork was sounding;
then, taking another thread along. just
as a man would take an extra piece OF
rope. he ran out to the fork and sprang
upon it. Then he retreated little way
and looked at the fork. He was puz.
zled. He had expected TO find buzz.
ing fly. Then. strange to say. he got
on the fork again and danced with de
light. Evidently the sound was music
to him.

Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic party
propose to return to all of the condf-
tions which produced the depression
of 1894, thus greatly reducing the value
of the home market and the price Of
everything that the farmer has to sell.
The following table shows the home
consumption, total and per capita, Of
wheat in 1892, 1894 and 1899; also, the
quantities Of wheat exported in each
of those years, the average export
price, and the per cent of the crop re-
tained for home consumption each
year. It will interest every farmer
and indeed every one interested in see
ing prosperity in all branches of our
home industries:
