.THE FAVORl'TEjHOME PAPER. -
Independent in amass: Neutral in Mining.

Industrial Confidence Games.
The collapse of the Cordage Trust.
says the Philadelphia Times, was nat-
ural and inevitable. it was hastened
by unusual speculative conditions, but
the Trust itself was an inflated paper
baloon that must burst sooner or later
after the original promoters had made
their profit. Most. of the kindred com-
binations are of similar character.
A genuine combination of all the cor-
dage manufacturers, such as this trust
professed to be, could control the busi-
ness and maintain prices, and by the 1
economy secured through the avoid-
ance of competition could make a great
. deal of money. This is what some of
the trusts do. They do it by keeping
the business to themselves. The other,
more rapid and more popular way of
making money is to forma companyy
put in the factories at many times their
value and sell the stock to outsiders.
The business is boomed for a time till
the original owners can dispose of their
holdings at fancy prices and gradually
draw out, leaving a vast paper capital
representing nothing but used-up fac-
tories and a declining business.
The history of a multitude of these
great syndicate schemes, here and
abroad, is the‘ same. Sometimes it is
the original owner thatmakes the profit,
sometimes that-promoters, who buy to.
sell again; but always it is the.pur-
chasers that lose. Men whose business
is growing and who are sure of being
able to maintain it, do not usually go
into these combinations, unless as.
sured of an immediate profit that the
business cannot legitimately yield.
Thus in the great majority of cases the
company acquires a declining business,
at a fictitious capitalization, and by
the time the vendors and the promo-
ters have unloaded, failure comes asa
matter of course. ~
There is a fine example of 1 this kind
of confidence game in the lately formed
Leather Trust, which has the courage.
to offer its debentures upon the present
_ market. This is a combination of tan-
? neries, capitalized at a hundred and
twenty millions! In offering for sale
six millions of debentures “ to furnish
working capital,” it is claimed that the
assets of. thecompany “ will be at least
seven times the amount of such issue.”
This is an extravagant estimate, and it
would only make forty-two millions,
so that the other eighty millions repre-
sent water. But the whole value of a
tannery depends upon the available
bark in its neighborhood, and none of
the Eastern tanneries can depend upon
a prefitable supply for more than a
very few years. The owners, there-
fore, anticipate the exhaustion of their
business by selling their property to
the company at two or three times even
its nominal value—sixty millions of 8
per cent. cumulative preferred stock is
the price of the property “exclusive of
good will ”—retaining the management
long enough to give themselves'time to
unload their stock. At the end of that
period they will be out and the share-
holders will have a squeezed orange—-
9. lot of sheds and empty vats and the
fag ends of a business that will mean-
while have been transferred elsewhere.
In view of the great popularity of
Cordage and other “industrial” shares,
it would be rash to say that Leather
may not also be floated. If men who
know nothing whatever about the man-
ufacture of ropes or lead or type or
whatever it may be will invest their
money in these industries on the fanci-
ful representations of brokers, there is
no reason why they should not as well
invest in over-capitalized tanneries,
while as mere counters for gambling
leather shares will serve as well as any
other. But people of prudence will
consider for some time before they
walk into any more of these pretty‘lit-
tle parlors provided by the spiders for
the flies. '

Poisoned by the Box Paper.
Suit is to be instituted against the
National Paper Box Corporation of
New Haven in an action for illness re-
sulting from the use of certain chem-
icals in the paper necessary for box
making. The injured person is J. J.
Keefe, 19 years old. It was part of
his dut to steam the paper. His eyes
are sig tless, possibly permanently so;
his body a. mass of ulcers, and it is a
question whether he can long surVive
the agony he now suffers. Keefe’s at-
torney claims $25,000.
An Ingenious Scheme.
Governor Bulkeley and others who
object to the anti-pool room bill in the
present form are said to be working
for the carrying out of the proposition
that the General Assembly adjourn un-
til fall. The bill does not go into effect
until the July 1 following adjournment.
Consequently if the legislature ad-
journs to meet in the fall the measure
will not become operative for a; year
from the first of July next. So‘far the
sentiment of the legislators appears to
be in favor of making this a continuous
session until final adjournment is had.

who were driving along the street in a

knocked down by the horse, the wheels
of the carriage passing over one of
his legs. The. ladies after driving a
short distance turned the carriage
around and came back to the scene of
the accident. and were not, a little
pleased to find that “Lorenzo” was not
seriously injured.

Laid Two a Day.
Monday, as a reporter of the GAZETTE
was on his way to dinner he met Bates,
the Water street marketman, with a
basket and a pail of eggs. “Nothing
the matter . with them,” said Bates,
“there’s four dozen and a half of them.
all laid by my own hens in two days. ”
To the question as to how many hens
he had the reply was “Twenty-three.”
The reporter said nothing and passed
on. Mr. Bates has the reputation of
being a man of veracity, and if he told
the truth to the reporter it is evident
that he has at least eight remarkably
smart hens. .
May Lose an Eye. ~
As the result of a drunken quarrel
Martin Haley of Bridgeport, will pro-

Haley got into an altercation witha
young man in Bridge ort Monday
night when James Calla of Birming-
ham, interfered in the youth’s behalf.
Haley savagely resented the interfer-
ence. Callan received ‘a bad bruise
under one eye and dealt in return a
blow that felled Haley to the pavement.
tal where his hurt was examined and it
was found that the eye. needed treat-
ment by an oculist. Callan disappeared
soon after the fight but was arrested
later by Roundsman Hackett and

A Jealous Lover’s-Deed.
An assault which near] , resulted in
a murder took place "at 1t_ (3 Southport
depot at 10:30 Saturday night. Barney
J. Bradley, a carpenter, was the via-
tim, and Thomas Mullins; a tough citi-
zen of Westport, was the assailant.
The latter was somewhat under thein-
fluence of liquor. 2.? .. 0' ~
Bradley says he ’We «it? Bridgeport
on the 5:49 train, Sat dby afternoon,
and returned on the He saw a
cu
crowd about the depth: and Mullins
arraying with someone: in a loud tone
of voice. Bradley thought there would
be a fight and crowded'up to see it.
When Mullins saw him he- remarked
thickl * to a man named Dan Gricolm
of estport, who was with him,
“That’s the man.” : ' ' - ,
WithL that he rushed forward and
struck Bradley with 3a beer bottle
which he carried in-his ;‘liand. ‘ He in-
flicted two severe cuts on Bradley’s
right temple. The victim was able to
'walk to Wm.~Mitchell_’s house where
he boarded. When .hereach’ejd there
he was very faint from films of blood.
A message was quickly dispatched to
Dr. Osborne’s home :,;some distance
from the scene of the insult. ' ‘he lat-
ter upon reaching Bradley’s side_found
him badly injured. .- fgrtery in the
left temple had been “cred and the
man was rapidly ble mg to death.
The physician tied theijirtery and then
closed the wound with {gig stitches. At
first it was reported ;; radley’s ekull
had been fractured biit the physician
after making a' closer examination
found that was not t ue.’ The alien
created great exciteme. t in the town. .
The Westporters returned home un-
molested. A warrantiwas issued for
Mullins’ arrest. So long}; time has
elapsed since the assau t that if be de-
sired to escape he has h. ,d ample chance
to evade capture. 1
Dr. Osborne said that Bradley would
recover unless inflamation‘set in. That,
he said, was liable to occur at any time,
so that the condition of: the man may
be said to be very precariOus. .
Bradley has not been‘1very communi-
cative since the assault. Apparently
Mullins had no provocation. Bradley,
is an apparent stranger in town,hav1ng
only been there about» four weeks.
There was a story around to the efi'ect
that Mullins had a grievance against
Bradley. The latter is working on.a
new- house owned by a Mr. Curtis.
Next to it is the residence of Q: P.
Sherwood. In the latter’s employ is a
young and pretty domeStic named Mag-
gie Feeney, and it is reported that she
is the cause of the trouble between the
two men. Bradley had a good, chance
to see the girl quite often and it is said
became enamored. Mullins was her
“steady company” and resented the
flirtation. ' _
Bradley, when questioned, denied
that the flirtation amounted to any-
thing and said he receiyed no more , fa-
vors than anyone else. - v . . 1.
The Stolen Horse.
Chief Vollmer returned from Pater-
son, N. J. last night without, the horse
thief that stole Ralph Kellogg’s horse,-
owing to the fact that the laws of New
Jersey “require that a requisition be
obtained before a prisoner can be re-
moved from that state. The thief was
therefore committed to the Paterson
jail’until a requisition is obtained,
which will be applied for at once.
The horse proved to be Mr. Kellogg’s
and he will be shipped via the Bridge-
port boat this afternoon. .
The thief gave his name as Robert
Rockwell, which is evidently an assum-
ed one. His ‘residence he declined to
make known, but from his talk Chief
Vollmer is inclined 'tb the belief that
he hails from down east. He is six
feet one and three quarter inches tall
and weighs about 150 lbs. He also
claims to be near-sighted and wears
glasses. ‘When arrested a canvas bag
about sixteen inches long filled :with
shot and a jimmy twenty-eight inches
long were ;found on him.» The jimmy
was securely ensconsed in a pocket in
his pantaloons made expressly for it.
A number of cartridges were found in
his pockets, but no revolver although
he claimed that he had one when he
left Norwalk, but that it was lost -on
the way. He was also provided with a
compass and a map of Connecticut,
Massachusetts and New York, and
$1.50 in money. . ' '
Rockwell arrived in Paterson last
Thursday and put the horse up at the
stable of a Mr. Mills in that city. That
evening he offered to sell Mr. "Mills the
horse andphaeton for $275. and Mills
offered him 3125. Which Rockwell de-
clined. The next morning he appeared
at the stable and said that he would
accept the $125. This sudden drop in
the price aroused Mr. Mills’ suspicions,
and he told Rockwell he would like to
try the horse, and hitching him up he
drove to the home of the chief of po-
lice and laid the facts before him.
y making excuses the horse was
'kept by’Mr. Mills until the chief of po-
lice obtained information from Jersey
City [that a horse and phaeton similar to
the one at Paterson was wanted in Nor-
walk, when he arrested Rockwell and
locked him up and notified Chief Voll-.
mer, as already detailed in the Gamma.
Mr. Kellogg was delighted in again
regaining his horse and promptly paid
Mr. Mills the 350 reward he had ofl'er-
ed for its return. As. soon as a requisi-
tion is obtained thethief will be brought
to Norwalk and tried.

‘ At Hartford.
The charge that members of the Leg-
islature of 1889 were bribed in the in-
terest of the Westinghouse Electric
managers cannot be substantiated by
anything now on record. The electric
legislation of that year was mainly in.
the interest of the Thomson-Houston
company. 1 1, , -
By charter amendment the latter com-
pany was authorized to increase its cap-
ital from $1,000,000 to $10,000,000, and
to declare stock dividends from the
corporate franchise, especially with re-
gard to electrical railroads, was liber-
all enlarged.
here were differences of opinion be-
tween Gov. Bulkeley and the company’s
representatives respecting the franchise
tax that should be paid into the State
Treasury. The Governor insisted that
a' check for $5,000 must be . deposited
with the treasurer. ,
Ex-Speaker Paige was supposed at
the time to represent the estinghouse
interests, and the expectation was that
he would appear at the hearing. Ex-
Gov. Bulkeley said that Mr. Paige was
not heard. The laws of the state were
so indefinite concerning the franchise
tax that nothing has been secured,
aside from the five-thousand-dollar
check. Ex-Gov. Bulkeley had never
heard of the charge of bribery unt;l
he saw the published intimation of it.
The Thomson-Houston is a Connecti-
cut company, having been chartered
by the Legislature April 17, 1883, the
capital limit being $1,000,000. Origin-
ally it was the American Electric com
pany of New Britain, with a capital of
$125,000. Mr. Clarke, the company’s
general agent, has spent considerable
time in Hartford during, the present
session of the Legislature. He has
been an expert witness in favor of the
General Electric Railroad bill reported
by the committee on Cities and Bo-
roughs.

The Best Definition.
EDITOR GAZETTE :—Your editorial
headed “ Wrong " yesterday is the best
definition that could be given of that
word. Neither the press nor the poli-
ticians are. making the financial Situa-
tion of to-day. The one simply repre-
sents it as it is, the other uses it in his -
own interest. The almost unparalleled
spectacle of a people protesting against
their own prosperity was witnessed
last fall, when by an overwhelming
vote the country declared for a change
traders and cheap-money men of the
West and South in control as its agents
to execute its will. Now, every manu-
facturer, producer and distributor of
products, utterly ignorant of what the
“change” will be, is attempting to
discount it and while doubting as to
whether the pledges of the party in
power are to be fulfilled or not, they
are all trying to make a safe harbor
until the “Fair Trade” Winds blow
again. With atarifi' reasonably certain
to be, reduced so as to encourage the
importation of foreign goods to, an ex-
tent that will secure the necessary rev-
enue, the home manufacturer Will not
pile up his products at the present cost
of labor and material, and the pur-
chaser will not .place his orders, in
view of a temporarily less cost in the
near future. If you doubt the correct-
ness of this view, send your reporter
to the factories of our town an in-
quire about the orders for fall and Win-
ter trade which ought now to be com-
ing in, but are not. .It is a good time
to think it over. It would have been
better if the thinking. had been done
last year, but we have more leisure
now and will probably have more still
after September first, when Congress
meets. . J. HILL.

Locked Him Up.
Sunday afternoon a number of boys
and young men went to Woodside Park
and played ball. The noise they made
brought Silas Ferris, owner of the
property, to the scene, and he ordered
them off the premises; The ball-play.
ers and spectators used Mr. Ferris rath-
er roughly and after running him
about the track several times, locked
him in one of the sheds and continued
with the game of ball. He was released
when the intruders were ready to de-
part. Mr. Ferris feels very indignant

Damage to Oyster Beds. .
D. C. Sanford. civil engineer, has
been commissioned by the Federal gov-
ernment to determine the precise nat-
ure of the damage sustained by the
Connecticut oyster beds during the
heavy storms and gales of the past
month. He will begin his investiga-
tions near Greenw1ch and continue
working eastward. The point to be es-
tablished whether the trouble arises
from the burial of the oysters in the
sand or the disturbing of the bivalve
from its natural bed. Engineer San-
ford is of the opinion that the damage

been anticipated.

She Obeyed the Spirits.
Mrs. Warren Comstock, an aged and
well-to-do widow residing in Niantic,
committed suicide Sunday because she
imagined that messengers from her hus-
band in the Spirit land commanded her
to do so. She drowned herself in a cis-
tern. Mrs. Comstock had been a firm
believer in spiritualism for many years.
Soon after the death of her husband in
1888, she told some of her neighbors
that she had received various messages
from him commanding her to join him
in a better world. So firm was her be-
lief in these messages that she has at
various times attempted to take her
life. On two previous occasions she
tried laudanum, but failed.
