COMPRESSED AIRCOMPANIES Powerful Interests Said to Be Behind the Recent Consolidaticn. Blanchard Will Probably Become President of the New Com- pany—Talk With Henry D. Cooke. George R. The recent consolidation of the various companies operating compr2ssed air in New York is regarded as one of the most important things done in many months toward its development as a motive power. ‘The companies, which have been combinad under the title of the American Air Power Company of New York, are the American Air Power Company of New Jersey, tha General Compressed Air Company of New Jersey and the Compressed Air Power Company of New York. The new company is capitalized at $7,000,000, and it is und2r- stood that under the terms of the consoli- @ation the stock of the old compantes shall be exchanged. share for share, except in case of the Compressed Air Pow2r Com- pany, which receives two shares of new for one share of old stock, this company having considerably more visible assets in the shape of machinery than the othsr two compantes. The latter two have been developing the Hardie and the former the Hoadley-Knight motor, which was suc- cessfully tasted here, according to the re- ports of the District inspector, on the Eck- ington line. The organization of the new company has not yet been completed, but it is stated with much emphasis that George R. Blauchard, manager of the Joint Traffic Association, will be the president. The Railroad Gazette of January 14 stated that the stock of the General Compressed Air Company and the American Air Power Company, in the hands of the trustees, Messrs. Herman Haupt and Wiliam H. had been exchanged and @ new e for the total number of shares - new company was in their hands. m permanent organization, which is ex- pected immediately, the certificate will be ndered and subdivided and new cer- tificates sent to individual stockholders. Mr. H. D. Cooke’s Claims. Mr. Henry D. Cooke, formerly of this city, and who has been the general man- ager of the Ameriean Air Power Company, was in Washington today. Mr. Cooke stated that he was convinced that the consolida- tion of the companies, about which a Star Feporier interrogated him, would lead to an immense development of compressed air in many directions “The best proof of the adaptability of compressed air to street railroad purposes is the fact that the air motors after two ervice in New York are indorsed by on people in New York and Phila- * said Mr. Cook. “They are now making arrangements to equip their 28th and 2th street lines in New York city with compressed air motors. They admit that a system equipped with these motors will not cost more than the cheaper class of overhead trolley construction, and that thy can be operated and maintained at @ very much smaller cost. These are ex- cellent facts for the local authorities in Washington to consider in connection with the contemplated extension of street rail- roads and the question of tearing up t beautiful streets of the city.” “Another point in favor of alr motors,” continued Mr. Cooke, “is that they can be Tun on any existing lines whether they be row equipped with horse, cable or electric cars. This makes them especially valua- ble on extensfons, for when they reach the city limits they can continue on any ex- isting lines. There is no special outside construction needed, such as trolley wires or conduits, which are expensive in the first place and a constant source of further expense for maintenance.” Mr. Cooke, while silent himself on the subject, is understood to be slated for an important position in the new consolidated company. The mea who are back of it in @ finarcial and influential sense are said to be Messrs.) Wm. C. Whitney, W. F. Vreeland, P. A. P. Widerer, W. L. Elkins, Thomas Dolan and a number of other wertul eastern street railway magnates. Tt was learned from other sourtes that the new company intended merely to supply air for motor power to street railroads as @ portion of its business, it being the prime object to apply it to all purposes for which steam is now utilized, except, of course, heating. ee MAKING RATS WORK. St. Low From the St. Louts Post-Dispatch. There are 150 men in north St. who Tm Maguire fs a gentus. Louis fy any one to dispute the fact that Mr. Maguire 4s yard foreman at the Laclede Gas Com- pany’s plant at 24 and Mulanphy streets. His enthusiastic proclaimers of his genius are his fellow-workers in the big yard. A sewer pipe leading from one of the buildings to the river bank, 160 feet away, became clogged. The pipe is 16 feet be- low the surface. It was not known just where the obstruction was, so arrange- ments were made to open the trench. Then Maguire brought inte play what proved to be the trump card—viz., rats. He had been thinking about the plan for several days. One night, by the aid of generous hunks of fresh cheese, he man- aged to entrap two big gray rodents, and these he determined to put into the sewer. ‘They were taken to the mouth at the river bank and rel The opening was ther. closed securely behing them, leaving the animals with only one chance of life. That was to go straight ahead. And they did. Several more rate were caught each suc- ceeding day and turned into the sewer, un- til a dozen fine spécimens were gnawing sway in the pipe. The morning after the last detachment joined the main rodent army water commenced to trickle from the pipe. Irom rods and steam were applied. in ten minutes the sewer was clear. DEMAND FOR OLD GLORY. Flags Wanted for Police Stations and ‘mgine Houses. Congress will soon be asked by the Dis- trict Commissioners for an appropriation sufficient to provide every police station and every house in the fire department with a set of national colors. The attention of Commissiorer Wight was called some time ago, as stated in The Star at the time, to the absence of “old giory” from the houses of the police and fire departments save on Tare occasions. Believing that the stars and stripes should float every day from these houses, as well as from the school houses, Mr. Wight asked the heads of the two departments to inform him, first, as to whether the houses are supplied with flags, and second, why they should not be displayed every day. Major Moore, the chief of the police de- partment, reports that arrangements can readily be made so that the national colors may fly continuously from the station houses, but he explains that while each station, except substation No. 5, has been supplied with them, but six of the flags are at present fit for use. Three of the flags, he states, were furnished the sta- tions on requisitions and paid for out of the contingent fund, two were donated by citizens and four were obtained by the con- tributions of the members of the force. It would be economy, he thinks, for each station house to have a storm flag as well as a garrison flag, the former to be used in windy and inclement weather. Every house in the fire department, so its chtef reports, js supplied with a flag, except en- gine companies No. 1 and No. 9, and chem- ical company No. 1. The great majority of them, however, are stated to be in other but good condition. From No. 7 engine company’s house “Old Glory” is floated every day, the flag having been purchased by the members of that company. The | friends of the company, however, have been informed that they will furnish one to replage the present one when It becomes | unfit for use, should there be no public funds available for such a purpote. The Commissioners will, it 1s expected, have no difficulty in obtaining such an ap- propriation from Congress as will furnish every house in the police and fire depart- ments with a set of national colors, and the Teputation of Washington as a flag-fiying city will then be still further advanced. ————— . BANQUET TO MAINE'S OFFICERS. Consul General Lee Entertained the: at Havana Yesterday. A dispatch from Havana yesterday says: This morning United States Consul General Lee gave a banquet at the Havana Yacht Club house at Mariano Beach to the efficers of the United States warshiv Maine. The guésts of the occasion were Captain Sigs- bee, Lieutenants Cattlin, Holman, Hood and Jungen, Chaplain Chidwick, Paymaster Littlefield, Dr. Henneberger, Chief En- gineer Howell and Cadets Holden and Boyd of Washington. The company included several well-known American residents and representatives of the English and American press residing in Havana, Messrs. Atkins, Caldwell, Hal- stead, Hilgert, Laine, Pepper and Scovel. Consul General Lee presided, assisted by Vice Consul General Springer. The for- mer proposed “Captain Sigsbee and the of- ficers of the Maine.” Captain Sigsbee re- sponded, and then proposed “The United States and Consul General Fitzhugh Lee, its representative in Cuba." There were no other toasts. Consul General Lee, Vice Consul General Springer and another member of the party distributed alms among a number of poor people, whom curiosity had attracted to the clubhouse. After the banquet several officers of the Maine witnessed a bull fight, @ box hav- ing been provided for them by Acting Cap- tain General Parrado. The attraction was Mazzantini, Spain's most celebrated bull fighter. Captain General Blanco; according to the version of his trio received from Spanish sources, bas been welcomed enthusiasti- cally at Santiago de Cuba. The provincial deputies have tendered him a banquet, at which, in the course of a reply to @ toast to his health, General Blanco urged that all elements of the population should endeavor to contribute to the establishment of peace. The Spanish general, Luque, with Sve in- fantry and 16) cavalry, in two columns, while reconnoitering near Macague and Cayumo, in the direction of the Mejia dis- trict, beyend Holguin, discovered that the insurgents had concentrated their forces. He attacked them at Mejia, and a sharp engagement ensued. The Spanish accounts say that General Luque took the insurgent trenches by a bayonet charge. The in- surgents fled, leaving five killed. Of the Spanish Major Camerara and Lieu- tenant Augustin Luque, son of General Luque, were seriously wounded; two sol- diers were killed and twenty wounded. On January 27 General Luque arrived at Hol- guin. - —_- -—_ Relief Fund for the Poor. The following subscriptions to the fund of the central relief committee have been received up to date: Mrs. E.

The receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company today applied to the United States court in Baltimore for au- thority to purchase or otherwise secure 5,150 new freight cars, which, it is claimed, are necessary in order to properly con- duct that part of the transportation busi- ness of the company. As the cost of these cars will be about $3,000,000, it means a very considerable addition to the already very large debt of the corporation, and in view of this the request was, it is understood, vigorous- ly opposed by a number of New York bankers and other large holders of the company’s securities. In their petition, the receivers state that they can make an arrangement whereby certificates will not have to be issued, the receivers mere- ly paying the interest on the amount of $8,000,000. The opposition, however, point to the fact that this would be merely a distinction without a difference. It is a debt, let it be called by whatever name the receivers choose to employ, and js a lien above and beyond everything else, and on a footing equal with the nearly fifteen millions in receivers’ certificates now out- standing. “Should the court act favorably upon this petition,” said one of the bondholders yesterday, “it means another black eye for the security holders; another step in the direction of completely wiping out the common stock and diminishing the value of bonds. I think the court has gone much too far already in its allowance of latitude to the receivers in the matter of piling up this’ priority debt, and it is = time a halt was called.” he receivers were confident that the court will give them the authority they ask for. What the P! Provides. The plan provides that a certain portion of the earnings of the cars be applied to paying the cost of purchase, and when paid for, the cars to become the property of the Baltimore and Ohio Ralilroad.Com- pany. ag It is roughly estimated that the cost of the new cars will approximate $3,000,000. The earnings from the new cars, it is be- lieved, will be more than sufficient to pay the rentals for their use, which payments are also part of the purchase price. The Baltimore and Ohio has been suffer- ing a loss of business for some time be- cause of the shortage of cars. Losses 80 far reported by the traffic officers of the road and verified by the receivers have, during the past four months, agregated $1,000,000 in ‘oss. With adequate car equipment this additional traffic could have been “carried without increasing the ex- penses of the receivers beyond the mere expense of movement. This, it is figured, may be safely estimated as not exceeding one-half the gross revenue of the traffic. Even though the present demands of traffic were not so urgent, yet the making of these contracts for the acquisition of the new cars would, it is felt, be no more than what prudent foresight commands. At the end of two years from this time 8,000 cars now in service must be retired from use in interstate commerce. This will be caused | by the enforcement of the act of Congress requiring automatic couplers and the auto- matic brakes on all cars. It will be impracticable to so equip these 8,000 cars, because their construction and condition will be such that the expense would be greater than the value of the cars when so equipped. This number also in- cludes between 3,000 and 4,000 cars which must be retired during the two years be- cause of their age and generally worn-out condition. Not less than 1,500 and proba- bly 2,000 must go out of service during 1898 on this account. Prevention of Loss. To prevent what is estimated as enormous loss to the ‘interests of the property, as well as to the industries dependent on the Baltimore and Ohio system for transporta- tion facilities, it is considered necessary that contracts for new cars be placed now. Other railroads must meet the same condi- tions in the equipment. Already the manu- facturers have orders far ahead and prices have risen. The receivers, {t-is stated, have gone no farther than is prudent. It is claimed they can clearly see their way to meet all the obligations assumed without creating new defaults in the payment of interest on the bonded debt of the company, or otherwise disturbing gne holders of the company's securities. 1t is said they have avoided any issue of notes or other evidences of debt by the company, lest it be heralded as an Issue of receivers’ certificates and alarn: the mortgage bondholders. In attempting to care for the business of- fered the receivers have found it necessary to borrow cars from other lines whenever obtainable, but under existing traffic con- ditions it is impossible to obtain a sufficient number from other railroads, because no road has a surplus of equipment. The ex- cess in the sums paid for the use of foreign cars on the Baltimore and Ohio over the sums received from the cars of the road used on foreign lines aggregated $60,618 for September, October and November of 189%. For the same three months the tons on the Baltimore and Ohio show an increase of nearly 1,000,000 tons, or 21 per cent. ss ; Contract With Other Companies.
