zAs Railway Laae Passes rnto the Hands Of the American Pibe Misunderstanding Company
 Of Philadelphia.

At the Exchange Hotel yesterday, there was consummated q deal by which the Selma Street and Suburhen Railway, a property valued at. roughly. esoo.000. changed hands. the American Pipe Manufacturing Company. of Phil adelphia, being the purchaser.
 The Selma Street Railway. a corpo- fatipn, was owned by probably not more than half dozen stockholders. most of whom were Selmians. with the exception of c. A. Wickersham. pres tdent of the Western Railway.
 President Wickersham was in Mont gomery yesterday, to effect the trans- fer. Representing the American Pipe Manufacturing Company, was R. L.. Ellis superintendent of the Selma Lighting Company. with Hugh Mallory. of Selma. as his attorney.
 The Selma Lighting Company is | branch of the American Pipe Manu- featuring Company. or is closely asso- ciatsd In interests, and the purchase of the street railway system by the owners of the light company Is. in . way, a merger of the two foremost public enterprises of the Central City.
 The exact purchase price, for buai- ness reasons. was withheld. though the that the consideration was probably more than &2D0.00o.
 The Selma Street Railway was or- kanixsd by Col. F. M. Abbott, q pro- m6ter. to whose life work the growth of Selma is in a large measure due. "A resident of Selma. he personally su- perintended the street car system. un- til his death. in September. and own ed the larger portion of the stock, At his death c. A. wickersham. of the Western Railway, undertook the .sr- pervision of the system. through his friendship to Colonel Abbott. and be- cause of a minor financial interest. The widow of Colonel Abbott retained the interest of her husband. and to her will go a large portion of the purchase price.
 The sale of the railway has been agitated for several weeks, 1t being known that the transfer was prospect. i've Yesterday President Wiclcsrsham reached Montgomery in his private car, while Mallory and El1is came from Selma. meeting at the hotel to termi- nate the transaction. The rumor had prevailed, from the first of the talk of the sale. that the Selma Lighting Company, pr its firm. would be the purchasers. as the firm held an option it was stated.
 The purchasers take over the control of the street railway immediately, and it is probable that radical improve ments will be effected
