NARROWLY AVOID COLLISION
Hose Carriages Came Near Smashing
Each Other

While responding to the fire alarm yes
terday, the Fame Hose carriage and the
Wcccacoe hose carriage had a narrow es-
cape from what might have been
serious accident at Front and Madison
streets. The Weccacoe cart was coming
east and the Fame going west, and both
we're trying to get the possession Of the
plug on the corner Of Front and Madison
streets.
The impetus of the Fame hose carriage
was so great that the driver could not
stop the horses and they dashed past
the Weccacoe, and the wheels just grazed
each other.

FoRNIA WASHINGTON AND ORE
CON HELD Up

Washington, Nov. 26.-An entries of public
lands in California, Washington and Oregon
under what is known as the Timber and Stone
act have been held up by the government on
account of alleged wholesale speculative frauds,
and a rigid investigation will be made. There
are some hundreds of thousands of acres in
volved in these entries. The Interior Depart
ment has received many reports charging the
existence of frauds in the entries, and Secre-
tary Hitchcock will urge on Congress the neces-
sty of prompt action in amending the law to
protect the public domain from despoiers. AT
some local land offices carloads of entry men
arrive simultaneously. and make Timber and
Stone act entries, and the circumstances indi-
cate that the cash required to exploit the en-
tries originates from other sources The cost
Of an entry of 100 acres under that act. with
the incidental commissions. is $415. and as
many as five members of one family, according
TO official reports. who never had 5000 in their
lives nave walked into a land office and paid
the price of the land and commissions.
INSCRIPTIONS spectators also. it is said, have
obtained timber on these unreserved timber
lands by making so-called mining claims. under
the Placer Mining laws. The department pro-
poses to institute rigid inquiries into the nature
Of these entries. and when they are found TO
have been made in the interest of others than
the entry men the entry will in every case be
cancelled and criminal proceedings begun. All
local land offices in the section involved have
ne an directed to suspend action Immediately on
all Timber and Stone act entries.

MANHATTAN jumps AGAIN.

PETERBOROUGH ABSORPTION REPORT.

Manhattan was not active yesterday In

IT supplied one sensation in the morning trading.
when, in half hour round II o'clock. ii ran

on a report that the board of directors of the
marlborough Rapid Transit Company would
meet in the afternoon at the office of August
Belmont. and that at the close Of their meet
ing an official announcement of the leasing Of
the Manhattan. with a I per cent dividend
guarantee, would be made.
1t developed later, however, that it the
executive committee of the Subway Construc-
ton Company which was IN session at Mr.. Bel
mont's Office a corporation which could not be
concerned in negotiations for leasing the Man
haitian. The weekly meeting of the executive
committee of the latter company was held
yesterday afternoon. but it could not be learned
whether or not the alleged proposition for turn
ing the property over to the marlborough Rapid
Transit Company had come up for discussion or
action
A Wall Street news bureau yesterday issued
the following statement, which was not con-
frned by any trustworthy source:
Our first announcement the other day that Man
haitian would be leased TO the marlborough com
pany is now definitely and officially confirmed An
official announcement to this effect is soon to be
made by the authorities of both companies. The
basis of the lease will be 7 per cent guarantee by

There has been hesitancy over the question of max

Central has nothing to do with the lease. 1t is
believed that Manhattan will issue Sl2.OO0OOO
stock before the road is leased and that this stock
will be sold at par TO the stockholders. This would
give rights equal to about 10 per cent on Manhat-
stock
