STOCKHOLDERS SHOCKED. They Must Raise $3,ooo,ooo for the Central Telephone Company.

Chicago, June 1o.-Central Union Tele- phone stockholders received a shock to- day in the form of a special circular from John l. Sabin, the new president of the company, requesting them to consider the best way of securing $3,000,0O0 during the coming year to finance the company.
 The circular had deadening effect on the stock of the company. and at the close of the Chicago exchange it had dropped spoints a share.
 MT Sabin was placed in carge of the Central Union Telephone Company by the American Telephone Company, owner of the Bell patents, in order to put 1t on a paying basis.
 For three weeks Mir Sabin has been de- voting most of his time to study of the condition of the company and the possfbil- ties of the field in which 1t operated, and his conclusions are embraced in the terse language of his circular. He says:
 After two months investigation-the last month in Chicago as president-I find that 1t Is imperatively, necessary that at least 8 900, 900 be provided without delay that is one-half immediately and one half before the close of the present year with call for another $.0O0.000 during the first half of 1902 and one more for the same amount in the last half of 1902. This in addition to the net income during the period"
 The Central Union Telephone Company was organized twelve years ago and op- crates exchanges and toll stations in the smaller cities of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.
Their Use in France Satisfactory and
 They Will Be Retained.

Paris, June 1o-The assistant chief en- gineer of the Orleans Railroad when questioned today regarding the company was dissatisfied with American locomo- lives purchased last year said:.
 "All thirty have been running since November and there is no idea of with drawing them. But it is true that they burn more coal and that it is slightly more expensive to maintain them than other locomotives doing the same work. They were purchased because they were needed in a hurry For this reason the company does not regret the purchase; but the experiment is not encouraging and the company does not contemplate further purchases.
 .'The company experimented with American coal when quite a quantity was purchased under favorable condi- pany is closely watching this question and is prepared to make further pur- chases of American coal whenever prices will allow"
