LOOKED OVER LINES|
MEssRs. JEFFERSON, TILLIs AND HORsELEY TAKE A DRIVE.
Iu . Few Weeks Montgomery Traction Company Will Be fn Full Pcs session of Montgomery Street
 Railway.

R. D.. Apperson, President of the Montgomery Traction Company, Judge A. D, Horseley, General Counsel of the Philadelphia syndicate, which has just purchased all of the properties of the Montgomery Street Railway, and Rich ard Tillis. late owner Of these proper ties in a trap, were driven about Mont gomery yesterday morning and Judge Horseley was shown the car lines, the several parks and other properties in whose purchase he played such a con spicuous part at the conference held until a late hour Monday night in the office of Rushton and Coleman. local counsel of the Traction Company.
 Mir. Apperson and Judge Horseley left Montgomery on an evening train for their home in Lynchburg, Va. MT. Apperson said before leaving that there was nothing new to add to the infor- nation published by The Advertiser yesterday morning as to the purchase by himself and associates of the Street Railway and its auxiliary properties
 General Manager W. H. Ragland, or the Traction Company, who will man. age the consolidated street railway systems of Montgomery, said that 1t would be two or three weeks before the Street Railway properties were transferred to the management of the Traction Company. Indeed. at the present time. the capital stock. Of the Street Railway, sold by MT. Tillis, is in the name of Mir. Apperson who gave a certified check to close the deal.
 It is intimated that both Pickett Springs and Electric Park will be fn- proved and, operating the two lines which now reach the latter park and have heretofore been competitors, Electric Park will be reached by a belt line under the consolidated manage ment.
 Another interesting phase of the con- solidation lies in the fact that all liti- gation between the Traction Company and the Street Railway as to operat- ing car lines into Electric Park is dis missed by the terms of the contract signed by Mir. Apperson and Mir. Tillis.

 Never in the history of Mont gomery has there been such a tre- mendous demand for business edu- cated young men and women as at the present time. Business men are constantly calling on us for bookkeepers. stenographers and of flee help and we could place twice as many in positions had we suf- ficient number of graduates.
 While there is a large demand for young people in business. yet this demand Is most exacting as to requirements. A few years ago firms were willing to take boys and girls into their places of business and train them. This Is too slow process and business men do not have the time for this now. Every moment of their time counts, and they want help" that really helps"
 In a few months we can train you to take a position and hold that position. You will be thoroughly

There were two ways by which the
stamp Of divinity was to be placed up
on Christ's life. The first was by his
miracles. What do I mean by that?
Simply this: When the people began
to crowd around Jesus, and he said, Il
am the Son of God; follow me-" the
people answered, ''How do we know
thou art the CHRISTI" He said, 81 will
show you; come and see." Then he
stopped down and made the crooked
limbs straight. Then he expectorated

The chief subjects of discussion were two bills before the legislature. one author izing municipalities to establish plants for the manufacture of gas and cleo tricity. and the other establishing a state board of gas and electric light commissioners. The sentiment was in favor of these measures. These bills had been assigned for hearing yester- day afternoon before the committee on cities and boroughs. but the hear ing had been postponed until Thurs day of next week. However, as the the capitol in the afternoon, where the committee gave them hearing. Su- perintendent A. F.

Aged Womans Body Found in Ruins
 CT Her Home.
 Montclair. \. J.. Feb 4-Followfng the discovery of the body of Mrs Han nah B. Ross, wealthy octogenarian. in the ruins of her home in High street, yesterday, the police expressed the opinion that the woman had been murdered and the house fired to con- ceal the crime.
 X German coachman. who was the only domestic employed by Mrs Ross. has not been seen since the fire. X search of the ruins failed to reveal any trace of his body. Three adJa- cent houses also were destroyed in the fire which started in the Ross house. but the occupants had mo difficulty in escaping.
