a current of about ten miles and

WATER IN THEIR SECURITIES
Gas Companies Charged with More
Than Doubling the Same Upon
Their Consolidation.


New York, June 5.-New York was
represented in the arguments before
Judge Lacombe in the United States
circuit court on the question of contin-
uing, pending litigation, the order oh
tanned by the Consolidated Gas COM
pany restraining the authorities from
enforcing the new S0-cent gas law. The
city's reply to the suit, which is brought
also against the state gas commission,
the attorney general and the district
attorney, is a denial of the company's
assertion that it is a duly organized
company enjoying only valid franchises
and Of the allegation that the SO-cent
rate is confscatory,
The principal affidavit in the city's
case is made by Engineer William d.
Marks. He says that the aggregate
capital of the companies of the Consol-
idated was $17,O0O,OOO, but that the
Consolidated Gas company, which alb
sorbed them, divided among them $780,
100000 of securities and 100000 in
cash, making a total increase of $24,-
100000.

ANOTHER BRIDGE GIVES WAY
Second New Trestle for Northwestern
Road COIlapses.

Road CoIlapses.
Manitowoc, Wis. June 2.-Pres u: e
Of tons upon tons of earth and the dis
appearance of frost from the ground
caused a caying in of the newly butt
north approach of the viaduct to be
conducted across the Man:towOc river
northwest Of this city by the Green Bay
extension Of the Chicago and North
western Railway company, which will
entail another delay in the final com
pletion Of the line, and cost of thou
sands of dollars.
The approach which is a i'll in ex-
tending into the valley for length
of % yards. is over 100 feet in height
and the immense pressure of its own
volume caused the loose earth to sink
and cave III toward the river until tie
two spans nearest the water were car
ried away by the mass of heavy CLAW
and all piling twisted and torn from
its fastenings. These cave ms are of
frequent occurrence and can not be
provided against. The work COM
pleted, had been passed on by the
Northwestern company and had been
pronounced done in accordance with
plans and specifications.
The cost of this work of repair to-
gether with the accident to the bridge
over the Fox river at Green Bay will
run the cost to the company much
higher than originally figured.

Reinke, the receiving teller who en-
beZzled SAC from the Marshall &
Ilsley bank, and just captured in Port
land, Ore, was arrested while in
quiring for mail under the name of
A. J. Barr. This was the name by
which he was known in Chica 90.
where he was the friend Of actresses.
and lived a life in which he hit only
the high places.
Reinke is said to have expressed a
willingness to return without reouisi-
ton, but the papers will be prepared
to prevent trouble in case he should
change his mind. When arrested he
had 500 with him, all that remained
of about $1,000 which the police be-
lieve he had when he left Milwaukee.
In tracing Reinke the Milwaukee DO
lice uncovered some curious peculiari-
ties which led to his undoing. His
passions were actresses and touring
cars. The desk of Inspector Riemer
is piled with letters from actresses to
Reinke asking for money, and it is
said that a touch" of this kind never
failed of its object.

he went to Chicago, in which he often
would come to Milwaukee on Sunday.
returning that evening and coming
back to Milwaukee by train Monday
morning, 1t was on such car that
Reinke made his escape. He went to
Chicago the Sunday before his books
were Examined. At that time he ap-
parently was suspicious that his career
had about come to an end, for he hired
a big touring car there for use for
several days, paying $500 for It and
chauffeur, In this, with some friends,
he came to Milwaukee and stored the
car at a garage on the west side.
Reinke left orders for the chauffeur

had luncheon, and then went to the
garage, accompanied by two friends.
He ordered oogtt the car and told the
chauffeur to drive to 0conomowoc gs
fast as possible telling HE man in con
fidence that he had forged a check on
"the old man" and had to get away
for time,
At 0c0nomowoc he left the. party
and took a train west.
This story was obtained from the
chauffeur in Chicago by Detective
Dennis Sullivan and a dragnet was
spread through the west by the po-
lice, who thought he might be head
ing for Alaska. Another was stretched
in the direction of Mexico, where Rein
Ike was known to have friends. Hardly
had the nets been set before news OF
Resinke's arrest ip Portland was re-
ceived. He. had been there a week.

NIuncie, Ind, June ). = While s. G,
O'Bryan, an oil we'll shooter, was driv-
ing past West Side park, late in the
afternoon, he was attracted by the
barking of his English terrier, Dan, .
and the next moment saw the dog
pIunging into the river. Before O'Bry-
an had time to dismount from his wag-
on, the dog had grasped by the trousers
a little boy that was in White riv-
er, and was dragging the child ashore.
When O'Bryan arrived ed at the river
bank and helped the animal to bring
the child ashore the boy was uncon-.
scfaus, and it was fifteen minutes be-
fore he was revived. The boy proved
to be Claude Williams 6 years old, the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Williams, of
west side. The lad had been wadinS
and had gone beyond his depth when
the dog noticed his predicament. But
for the dog the child undoubtedly
would have drowned.
