BLOOMINGDALF BROS. WIN.
Verdict for Libel Against Firm That
Manufactures Piano Actions.

An interesting suit for libel brought
by Bloomingdale Brothers against Roth
& Engelhart. manufacturers of piano
actions. before Justice Truax in the Su-
preme Court has resulted in verdict in
favor Of the plaintiff.
The suit grew out Of an advertisement
OF pianos by Bloomingdale Brothers. in
which IL was stated that the Roth & Engel-
hart action was used. The defendants
charged Bloomingdale Brothers with a
violation OF the Act OF 1898. making II a
misdemeanor TO make an untrue state
ment in a public advertisement with re-
gard to any merchandise. but IN a trial
in the Fifty-seventh street court Roth h
Engelhart admitted that they had found
upon investigation that a large proportion
of the pianos did contain the action named
in the advertisement. Whereupon the
complaint OF Roth 4 Engclhart was dis
missed and the action for slander was
brought by Bloomingdale Brothers as a
result OF a publication in trade paper,
which II was shown had been instlgatep
by these manufacturers.
In the trial in the Supreme Court jury
found verdict for 500 damages against
Roth a Engelhart, and Justice TruaN in
commenting upon this stated that If he
had been "A member OF the jury he GER
tainly would have held out for n much
larger measure Of damages. The Justice
expressed himself further as being re-
luctant To set aside the verdict, on the
ground that Il was not commensurate
with the injury done, only because IN ques-
tions of this sort i, was difficult for the
Court to set y standard TO which jury
must necessarily conform.

The Biggest Has a 2I-Ton Door Described
as Dynamite Proof.

The Standard Safe Deposit Company
will open tomorrow its new vaults in the
basement Of the Broad Exchange Build
ing, 25 Broad street. The vaults are large
and handsomely equipped and include

feet inches wide, 3s feet inches deep and
feet inches high. This vault has a ca
pacity of 10000 safe deposit boxes of as
sorted sizes. which will rent from s. to $3.50
year. The entire interior of the vault,
with the exception of the floor, which is
Of white tile, is finished in dark bronze,
and when the numerous sprays of electric
lights are turned on presents an extremely
pleasing effect.
The door which guards the vault is an
especial feature. 1t is said TO be the
largest door of its kind ever built. 1t
weighs $4,000 pounds or 2l tons. The
5s 900 pounds, or 20 tons. The door

which when the door il closed, prevents II
from being released, except from the cen
trail office. In business hours the vault
will be protected by day gate with
guard continually in attendance.
At the eastern end of the large vault Is
storage vault intended for large cases and
other matter not regarded a. Of sufficient
value to go in the big vault. just outside
OF the passa geway at the eastern end Is an
elevator running to all the twenty floors
of the Broad Exchange Building. The en-

NEW YORK'S CHURCH WARD.

BROOKLYN for a number Of years retained

SOUTHERN PiCIFTC AFFAIRS.
Cons oiidation OF the Three Western Com

Confirmation was obtained Yesterday
Of the report from San Francisco that a
new southern Pacific Railroad Company
Of California has been organized 10 take
over the properties heretofore operated
separately by the three original proprietary
companies: the Southern Pacific OF Cali
fornia. the Southern Pacific OF New Mexico
and the Southern Pacific Of Arizona, The
idea of consolidating these three COM
panes was originated by Coils p. Hunting
ton about four years ago, and it has been
carried into effect by T.. II Hartman, who
now controls both the Southern Pacific
and the Union Pacific systems.
Economy and convenience in operation
are expected 10 be attained 10y this consoll-
dation. One general manager and one
general slperintendent will now take the
place of three and the saving that will be
made in Office expenses alone, 1t Is ex-
pected will aggregate about $3.50 600 year
The new company, just chartered IN CALI
fornia has a capital stock OF sl59,oOO 900,
which is the largest capitalization OF any
California railroad corporation.
Chairman Hartman of the Southern
Pacific has overruled the protests OF the
business men of Salt Lake city. and has
given an order 10 proceed az once with the
construction OF n trestle bridge across the

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE CLAM.
OmciaI Reassurances for the Anxious In
Rhode Island.

Providence, March s-The Rhode Island
clam will never die out. This important
announcement has just been made by the
State Shell Fish Commission as the result
OF a year Of investigation by Brown Uni
versity professor.
The last year OF two have been scarce
years for the Rhode Island clam. and 1t
began TO look TO many Rhode islanders as
though the bivalve which has made Rhode
Island and Rhode Island clambakes famous
was going to become extinct.
For two years Cape Cod and Maine clans
have been served at Rhode Island clam
bakes, but the fake article did not deceive
Rhode Island palates, and the aid Of the
Legislature was invoked In the effort to
find out II the Rhode Island bivalve had
gone for good.
The gist Of the Brown professors re-
port is that the great set OF CLAIMS is in
deem water, where the clam digger can
never get them. He says that the progeny
of these clans that are out OF reach Will
always be sufficient TO supply the normal
wants of Rhode Islanders and their summer
visitors.
The spawn of the clam, the professor
discovered Is cast upon the waters and
great part Of il finds resting place in the
shallow waters along the sholY, where II
will later be convenient to the clamdiggers s
rake,
Various reasons are given for the recent
shortage, and il is not unlikely that even
in the future there may be good and pad
years But the fear that the clam had
gone forever has been allayed.
As a sort Of side issue the professor also
made some experiments with the culture
of the lobster and now he says that lobsters
can be raised artificially at a profit, just as
oysters are He has no end Of little lobsters
as a result Of his experiments, and he says
that when the time comes that free fishing
for Holsters is no longer profitable, then
the fisherman or the capitalist can go right
into lobster farming and thus keep up the
