William Fulkerson, chairman of tho Board of County Commissioners of Calhoun County, has called a special meeting of that organization, which will conene at Har din to-day for the purpose of considering tho question of granting a franchise to tho Qulncy and Southeastern Electric Railway Company. The meeting will be held in the office of County Clerk Charles Flamm. At the meeting representatives of the com pany will present a petition for n fran chise to equip and operate an electric rail way along the public roads of the couiity for a period of twenty years. At present Calhoun County had no rail road nor telegraph olilce, and the present company is the first to seek a franchise to construct a railway In that section of Illinois known a the "Kingdom or Cal houn." For many jears the residents, have offered Inducements of moro or lesti value to railroads to build lines into their county, but heretofore the roads have not given the matter serious consideration on account of the necessity of bridging both the Hlinoin and Missouri Rivers In constructing such a line. The present company proposes to con struct an electric line from oulncy, south east through Adams, Schuvier, Hancock. Drown and Pike counties, entering Calhoun County from the north, connecting the towns of Uarrs", Hardin, Rushvllle and Isnuvoo with Qulncy. Xo waterway of any consequence would have to be spanned by tne lunpiveil road until the Illinois River Was reached at Hardin. The latter place however, according to the best Information obtainable, will be the southern terminus of the road for some pionths. with a strong probability then of crossing the Illinois and Sinning south through Jersv and Madison counties for St. Louis. The Qulncy and Soiithea-stein Electric Railway Company Is composed principally of Qulncy stockholders. George Wells is president and Major James L Adams is the secretary. Both officers are residents of Qulncy. The companv- has a nominal capi talization cf r,fX.

MANY CAPITALISTS INTERESTED Syndicates Forming for Erection of Buildings in Different Parts of City Real Estate Gossip. Several large hotels are projected for the World's Fair. Many cheaper structures will be rushed up at the last moment. Real isj-te dealers say that the principal iause of the delay In building operations has bet n the persistency of rumors tht't the World's Fair would not be held until j 1WI ThK they sa. has made promoters ! ihary of investing capital. lest it lie idle a ! year btfoie the Influx of sightseers. Yet that ample accommodation will he furnished before the opening of the Fair no doubt is expressed. It Is said that the necessary hotels" will occupy In their con struction leas time than the World's Fa'r building". As soon a the latter are under way the hotels can he begun, and opened before the Exposition. Both local and outside capitalists are known to be making ready for investment In great hostlerles for the accommodation of the guests of the city during the life of the World's Fair. Probably C'mO.OOO will be invested in structures of the first class. It is the gteat outlay that makes iinct ors cautious. Already t-vndlcates have been formed for the erection of hotels in different parts ot the city. Several plans contemplate the building of immense family hotels on Grand avenue, additions to downtown hotels aie assured, and a great variety ot buildipg v. ill be done about the World's, Fair site. One of the most elaborate projects hi that of Count de Penalcza, who Intends building a palatial hotel on the corner of Grand and Washington avenue. Tills structure will cost several hundred thousand dollais, be permanent In construction, and Intend ed for a family hotel after the close of the Exposition. It ii the Intention to ar range the Interior of the building after the manner of a Roman palace, and it will be one of the most elegant hostelrles in the I'nlted States, containing more than LiO rooms. The Lincoln Trust Company, for a syn dicate, is planning the building of an Im mense slx-stOry hotel in the wme neigh borhood. This. too. will be erected Willi the Idea of permanency, and le converted Into a family hotel s tnon as the World's Fair rush Is over with. This project alsj contempltCR a 20U-rocm hostelry, modern in tvery detail. Mrs. Beers Is arranging to build sub stantial addition to her hotel at Grand av enue and Olive street, the structure to be erected Just west of her present building. In all appointments the addition will be harmonious with the main building Probablj the Planters Hotel alo will be added to across the alley on the west. Ne gotiations vveie on foot for purchase of the Western Union building last ear, and though it is said that these fell through, the fact that the Western I'nlon will move within a few months has given credence to the earlier report that I In- Planutfb would acquire the property. Among the temporary structure in pros pect, that of the Travelers' Protective As sociation at Retthold avenue and the Clay ton road. Is the most elaborate so far an nounced. This is intended to furnish ac comodation for members of the society with their families visiting the Kxpositlon. and it will probably be sold for department store purposes after the Fair has closed. It will he five stories In height, and t-nntaln Jul) rooms. I. V. Rosenthal and A. Baer. the purchas ers of the old Washington University build ing, at Seventeenth street and Washington avenue, contemplate also converting this structure Into a World's Fair hotel before tearing it down to erect a modern mercan tile structure on- the site. Across the street from this buildiii" a jauuewu promoter win uuna a large Worlds Fair hotel, with the Idea, however, of making It a permanent structure for the use of transients, as it will be convenient to Union Station. The plans contemplate the erection of either a four or a five torv building. "j Posslblv some part Of the building to be erected by the Mercantile Trut Companv onJ,,,p.

Thiee-Cornered Conversation in Three Language Between Jships at New Yoik. INTERRUPTION IN GERMAN. Hohenzollern Tries to Extend In vitation to Vessel Which Is Bidding Cood-By to Depart ing Lueania. niiPfm.ir spf.mak New York. Feb. 16 There was a three cornered conversation by wireless teleg raphy. In two languages. In the North River jesterday. While George Kroncke. the wireless telegraph operator on board the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grose, was talk ing to the departing steamship I.ucania. the operator of the wireless telegraph out fit on board the Imperial yacht Hohenzol Icrn joined in the tonv ersatlon, the Ger man messages causing a veritable confu sion of tongues until matters were straightened out. The Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse was ly ing at her pier at the foot of West Twelfth street, while the Lueania left the pier be low to start on her voyage to Liverpool. The Imperial yacht lay in her dock In Ho boken, almost opposite the big German liner. "We pjo off the Battery. Everything do ing well." was the first message received by Mr. Kroncke from Mr. Hepworth. the operator aboard the I.ucania. Then after j. lull of several minutes came the words: "We are off Staten Island. I can see the cruisers of the United States Navy." Mr. Hepworth then began telling the op erator aboard the German steamship that he was going to try to break the wireless telegraph record, made by the steamship Philadelphia, which talked to the Lizard while l.Ti) miles distant. Strange and ob scure words began at this time to creep Into the messages. Mr. Kroncke shut off the connection and turned It on again, but all he could make out was several German phrases, among which the words-, "Sehe.i sic?" and "vler I'hi" were invariably repeated. Then there came it complaint from the Lucanla: "What are vou talking about, anyhow? I can't speak German." "Who is this?" was the message flashed out to the wind by the operator aboard the German vessel. "Tho yacht Hohenzollern," was the reply, "All right, Hohenzollern, keep quiet a moment." replied Mr. Kroncke. He con tinued to talk with the Lucanla. whoso mecsageb grew weaker and weaker. "We're out at sea. now." said the opera tor of the I.ucania. "I can scarcely make vou nut. I'm hungry and going to get din ner, so I'll say good-by." "Good-by. Bon voyage." was Fent back, and then the conversation ceased. Mr. Kroncke then communicated with the Imperial vaclit and learned that the opera tor on the latter hail been trying to send to him the Invitation In German: "Come over to ee me at 1 o'clock."
