UNIQUE GERMAN CUSTOM
CASE IN PROBATE DEPARTMENT
SHOWS HOW 1T WAS OBSERVED.
How the Children Were Named i'm the
Meier Family-The News
of the Courts

To what extent one name may be used in
supplying the Identification needs of an
entire family is shown in the settlement or
the Anton Ludwig Meier estate now pend
Ing in the probate department. The econo-
my in naming thirteen children has been
practiced until the total number of names
only equals the number of children, yet
they have from two TO three names each.
The naming. however, is not an eccentri-
city but is in good keeping witt the custom
IN Me%cklinburg, Germany, where the same
name is applied to as many members OF
the family as possible. To do this it is
necessary to change the arrangement
while in others, the names are the same.
but one is used to designate the particular
child. The Meier family came from Neck
lInburg and the matter in the probate de-
partment illustrates this unique custom.
The case was styled by F1orea & Seiden-

RECENT CONSULTATIONS
GREAT SAVING WILL RESULT FROM
COMBINATION OF INTERESTS.
Good Results from Brown Merit sys-
kins, Of the G, ID. a. e., Resigns.


W G. Nicholas, in New York Telegram.
The saving 10 the railroads by reason
of the recent consultations and COM
mrnity OF ownership deals will reach at
least $25,O0O.O0 annually, not counting
the anthracite group. That saving IS
equivalent To 5 per cent. dividends on
800. O00.O COO. a better way to put IL would
be TO say ii means an average addition OF
about n per cent. in the net earnings OF
the systems directly concerned, the total
capitalization of which hubs $3.50. 0O0. 900,
Chiefly in the wages Of men whose services
1T will be found possible TO dispense with,
the total reduction being estimated at TO-
00. Then there VIII be a saving in rents
and in the maintenance of the machinery
heretofore necessary in hot competitive
fighting for traffic.
In the case OF the anthracite roads the
so-called economies enforceable are more
important. In the start a Saving" of 80
cents per ton on the total annual pro-
duction OF 5O,OOO.OoJ tons is figured, or 49,
eg. 900. When all the economics in view are
carried out $50, 1900 a year will be added
to the earnings available for dividend pay
nIents on the stock of the anthracite prop
ert.es. Capital, literally by the tens of mill
lions, has gone into the Erie and Reading
issues for account of rich investors since
the presidential election. Single individuals
have Fought blocks of $1,000 to 10 600 shares
TO hold until the properties demonstrate
what they can actually do, and how nearly
they can fulfill inside prospeetors' expec-
totiOns.

The Brown merit system has now been in
Oh Grafton on the Wabash lines for two
years. and the Wabash is the only road
in Central traffic Association territory
which has it in operation. With the retire
ment of F.. G.. Darlington as superintend-
ent of the Indianapolis division of the
Pennsylvania lines 1t was discarded on that
road, but on the Wabash it is claimed to
have been a success in its purpose of pre-
serving dicipline among employees. The
monthly bulletins issued by division super
iTtendents announcing demerits or merits
are closely scanned by every employe. n
create a desire to make a good record.
he conduct of every employe is watched
when he is on duty, and the road is as
quick. If. the theory of the Brown system is
lived up TO, to reward good as To punish bad
service. Probably nc superintendent has
given this merit and demerit system a
more thorough test and watched more
closely results thar has Superintendent
Gould, OF the eastern division of the Wa
bash lines, and he says with the Wabash
company, il has been most successfully
tested and probably will never be discarded,
the ugh il may be improved.

c. E. Perkins. president of the c., B. &
O., has resigned. and Vice President George
b. Harris has been chosen president. Mr..
Perkins remains as director. His resigna-
ton is due to q desire TO be relieved of
many cares of the office of president. 1t is
stated that, as a director, Mr.. Perkins will
have practically the same influence and
control of the policy and affairs of the
company as he has had for many years..
He will continue TO live at Burlington.
Mr.. Perkins was interviewed at his home
yesterday, and said ii was true that Mr..
Harris had been made president of the
road. Mr.. Perkins Will continue. however.
TO devote his time, as heretofore, TO the
Affairs of the company, and the manage
ment will not be affected by the change.
Mr.. Harris had performed many of the
functions of president for two or three
years past. and Mr.. Perkins 1elt that, as he
had held the office for nearly twenty years
and had lately passed his sixtieth mile
stone, 1t was an appropriate time to throw
more work ON the younger men. while at
the same time retaining his interest in the
company and remaining on the board as
the principal Western director.

Suit Against standard OIL Company.

The suit Of Kate Foppiano against the
Standard Oil Company for $1,000 damages
was made ready for trial in Judge Leath-
ers's court yesterday. Her property is
about Ave hundred yards from the station
of the Standard Oil Company, and she al
lsges hat the oil, seeping through the soil,
ruined heI well. The water could not be
used and a driven well was sunk, but this,
too, 1t is said, proved a failure, as the
water was tainted with the oil. The plain
tiff says tenants moved out of her property
and hat Its rental value has been de-
creased because of the loss of the well. The
company attempts to show that the water
is lust bad, and that the companys sta
ton has nothing TO do with 1t. They claim
the evil effect is from other causes.
