Pittsburg and Mononga-
heIa Companies in
Big Deal.
CAPITAL $4,000, 900
Strongest Bituminous
Concern in the
World.

PittSburg. Pa. Oct. 29.-Negotia-
tions are under way for merging the
Pittsburg Coal company and the Mo-
nongahela River. Consolidated Coal
and Coax company. Their combined
authorized capitalization is S11O,OOO,-
900. and their assets are S120.0SS,5S1.
Consolida tion of these interests will
launch by far the strongest bitumi-
nous concern in the world. The com
bined coal output of the two comPa-
nies is close to 3O.OOO,OOO tons a year.
The plan is to make the Pitt sburg
company lessee. The purpose is to
econOmize operations.
Successful termination of the deal
will end the trade rivalry which has
existed between the two companies.
Early this year the two interests so
prolonged the unsatisfactory negotia-
tiOns for renewal of the contract OF
other years, whereby the PittSburg
company took the output for rail
shipment of the river company. that
they split over it. Through the fail
ure to come to terms former Prest-
dent Frank NJ. Osborne of the Pitts
burg company stepped in and con-
tracted for the rail output of the riv
er company. This coal is now being
furnished from seven mines at the
rate of 125.0OO tons a month.
Presidents Handle the Deal
The negotiations which are now on
to bring the two big interests togeth-
er are understood to be between Pres
ident Francis L. Robbins of the Pitts
burg company and j. Il. Finley, presi-
dent of the river company. The mat
ter has not yet gone before the direc-
torate of enther company so far as
can be learned.
The tentative plan is practically to
merge the two companies and at the
same time eliminate one of the seem
ingly fundamental principles of such
moves, which is the issuance of a new
lot of watered stock to cover the com
bined issues of the constituents.
While the Pittsburg company probably
will become the investor, there is no
present purpose to issue new stock
of that company to take over the
stock of the river company.
VIII Add Some Directors.
The plan will provide further for
some of the directors of the river
10 the dlGeduN
large and strong directorate of the
Pittsburg company. When the two
big companies were being organized
there was an effort to make them one,
but this was in part blocked by the
purpose of the river company to float
a bond issue of $1O.OOO,OOO. Since then
several efforts have been made: but
always on different lines from those
now purposed If Mr.. Robbins and
col. Finley come to terms it will be no
difficult matter, financiers believe, to
secure the approval of the directors
and stockholders of the two compa-
MES.
RumOrs of the pending deal reached
Fourth avenue yesterday and the
stock of the river company sold high

pany was what the brokers call
heavy yet firm

sonally investigated this case and he was
convicted. Another noted case with
which 1 was connected was the Fife
case. We had to bring a jury from
Lynchburg to try Fife and there were
twelve policemen In the courtroom to
preserve order. Another case which
caused lot of talk and excitement was
the Lewis case. Lewis killed a man In

the principal cases in which 1 figured

When asked directly about the NUM-

by the special grand jury Mr. Richard
son paused AT length he consented to
say:
NO, do not expect any indictments
from the grand jury, but it is possible
that certain lines of hearing may lead
to further indictments. I don't care to
speak of the King case or the gambling
cases"
Then the general adviser of the city
of Richmond returned to his work OF
preparing the indictments.

he said. And that is Mr. David c.
Richardson who has been for some
weeks past and will continue to be the
