publican not yet In tho limelight will

This was the almost unanimous
opinion of tho delegates late to-night
after tho developments of tho day. Theso
remarks are made with nn appreciation
cf the fact that ex-Ilepresentatlvo Will,

clianie for tho nomination. Tho Im

In whispers concede the correctness of
the foregoing statements.

reami Mint tho friends of Oscar S.
Ftr.ms. who greatly desire his nnmlnn

fmni htm than his statement made In

of New burgh.
At midnight President Kocnlg of tho
.Vow York County Republican commb-t-
.nd that of tho 130 delegates from
t at county Hedges would get 130,
Wadsworth 30 and Hennet 30, nnd that
the Hedges vote might run up to ISO
from New York county.
There Is still the strongest senti
ment here for Mr. Straus's nomination,
i v his friends havo no foundation on

lrel'ament to that In which was Will

politicians have been Interested in it
from the beginning Its principal and
practically its only asset from the begin
ning has been its franchise. It has sup
plied just enough electricity to keep the
franchise alive According to the latest
manuals It had in osration eleven meters,
eighteen arc lights and as l Incandescent
lights. Politicians are still interested
in it and also interested In thnt most im
portant transaction of Its career which
occurred yesterday
John C Sheehan is vice-president and
In actual control as far us the stock goes.
The other officers and directors are James
F. Shaw, president; O. U. Corbin, secre
tary; und treasurer, George E. Ilouchio,
W. II. Knight, W. M. (lullck. John C
Sheehan, James V Shaw, W R Sheldon
and O. H. Corbin, directors Politicians
of greater prominence in the city could
be found among the liM of tho share
holders. The majority of the stock of the Long
Acre company is held nt least nominally
by the Manhattan Transit Company,
successor to thoGenera! Carriage Company
of O. F and K It Thomas fame and noto
riety, accumulated in the halcyon days of
the Thomases, Joe Loiter nnd Joseph
II Hondley It wns the big break from
way above par to next to nothing In the

Augustus Ileine on tho one hand and
Charles W. Morse on tho other brought
about tho collapse of n pool In United Cop

Xtr. Hoadley is still president of the
Manhattan Transit Company, but has
disclaimed control of the compnnv since
! the entrnnce of John C. Sheehan nnd his
associates into Long Acre affairs two or
three years ago
Whatever the value or the validity of
the other intangible assets, there Is no
doubt whatever thnt the electric light
franchise which the Manhattan Transit
controlled through Its control of the I,ong
Acre stock was n real though intangible
asset. That fact has been established in
the courts in the course of a long and
bitter litigation between the long Acre
company and the Edison company. Tho
most important law suit was liegun as
long ago as ltioe, when Supreme Court
Justice Dowllng granted a peremptory
mandamus to compel the Consolidated
Telegraph nnd Electrio Subway
Com
pany, whose conduits nre used by the
Edison company, to permit the I.ong Acre
company the use of its conduits for a
cable, The mandamus has since lieen
upheld by the Appellate Division and the
Collrt nf Appeals

around tho curb market for years and
could be bought yesterday nt $1 78 a share
It is probable that negotiations are under
way for transfer of control of the slock
of the long Acre Company to tho same
peopl't who bought tho control of thn
bonds, However, that is not considered
essential to the control of the long Acre
Company Control of tho bonds with the
power of foreclosure is regarded ns suf.

Thn upshot of yesterday's transaction
accordingly seems to be that, though
trivial In the mony involved, it relieves

strengthens their control of the gas and
electrio lighting and gas nnd electrio

try nnd pretend to live as I should, but the
good lord above, I trust, has directed me
to take the right course, either to continue
with you, or desert the other and our dear
baby. 1 could not do that, so this Is the full
I rill li of the awful silence I often main
tained tiod, I hope, will have merev on me, and I
ask his blessing for you, and hope Im takes
good csre of you. I have treated you very
mean, I feel It now, but the bridge wus
crossed before I knew how far I had gone.
1 am going away for a rest, and try to
live down this awful sorrow With bitter
tears, I close this, my full confession. Yours
truly. Jam is.

Judge Charles M. Hough, who yester
day sentenced Frank L. Cooper, nn ex
I'nlted Stntes army civil engineer, to
six months on Ulnckwcll's Island for'
running n "smoking den" on West I
Thirty-ninth street, said In court that I
opium smoking Is growing alarmingly;
In America.
Judge Hough said he had good reason
to bellevo that 250,000 pounds of tho
drug are unlawfully brought Into this
country ench year, whereas the records
show that only 70,000 pounds nre Im
ported for medicinal purposes nnnually.
"My Investigation of opium smok
ing," said the Judge, "lends mo to
believe that It Is thn selling of the
drug by white men to white persons
that sprends this horrible vice. Maybe
the Chinaman hns to havo his opium,
but there Is no excuse for tho white
man cngnglng In this trnftllc."
