Pierpont Morgan is Seeking Another Consolidation DEPOSIT MADE ON SALE No Changes Will Be Made at Present, But Will Follow the Formal Trans fer. London, April 39 —The first stop In the direction of the consolidation of some of the biggest transatlantic shipping Inter ests has been accomplished by the pur chase by J. P. Morgan * Co. of the Ley land line cf steamers. A deposit on the purchase money has been paid. The officials of the Leyland line, con firming the sale, told a respresentatlve of the Associated Press that an official statement would be Issued by the head of the line tomorrow. The line whose fleets will thus pass Into the control of the Americans Is one of Great Britain’s greatest shipping Insti tutions, far exceeding the Peninsular and Steam Navigation Company In tonnage and Importance. The Associated Press learns that the purchase of the Leyland Is tantamount to Its consolidation with the Atlantic trans port line. For the present the Leyland will retain Its name and be under the same manage ment, though changes In the directorate are likely to occur shortly. The result of the consolidation will be a steamship company with the largest tonnage of any company In the world. The report of the Leyland line for 1900, Just issued, says the purchase of the West Indian and Pa cific Stamshlp Company has been com pleted The company now owns upwards of 99 per cent of the capital of the Wil son and the F’tmess-Lelghland lines. Steamers of the value of £1,000,000 were recently added to the Joint fleets. The di rectors declared a dividend of 6 per cent on ordinary shares, and set apart £370,000 to the account of the reserve fund. Sir Christopher Fuerness, head of the Fuerness line of steamers, In an inter view yesterday, made a striking state ment concerning American competition. He said: "1 have Just been appointed by certain wealthy and enterprising Americans to seek conveyance for 10.000 tons of coal to Mediterranean and eastern ports, as well as for general cargo. There Is a big move on now by Americans to rapture our over-sea coal trade, and helped by the new real tax. they will do so. They have excellent coal and have only been ham pered bv the non-possession of sea carry ing power. This they are now seeking to obtain." „ __ Sir Christopher Fuesness. former owner of the Fuerness Line, said: "I am op posed to consolidation because I believe It kills competition. Mr. Morgan Is a friend of mine, but I believe he would be wise If he could stop piling up the bur dens, In the shape of millions, for his children. 1 do not believe the great con centration of wealth in the United States can be for the country s good. The Lti nard and White Star Lines are not Hkely to Join In anv fiyther combinations that may possibly be contemplated." The rallv Mall this morning publishes an Interview with Mr. Glynn, ’.f the Leyland Line at Liverpool, in which Mr Glvnn said that the American syndi cate represented by Mr. Morgan sought to obtain sufficient of the ordinary shares of the company to give them the right to the nomination of two or the directors. Mr. Glynn explained that the negotia tions were incomplete, but that only to this extent would the Leyland Line be under he Influence of the American Line. Will Not Affect New Orleans. Chicago. April 29.-Vice President J. T. Harrahan of the Illinois Central said to night that the sale of the Leyland Line of steamships to J. Plerpnnt. Morgan would have' no effect on those at New Orleans that he could see. “It concerns us no more than oulo the sale of any transportation line." said Mr. Harrahan. "We have dealings Ith the Leyland liner of coure. Just as we have with practically every other line of steamships entering New Orleans, but the sale of It will make no difference to us. Asked what effect a consolidation of all ocean lines would have, Mr. Harrahan declined to answer, but Intimated that he did not consider such a thing as imme diately probable. Even if It came ulti mately. he "guessed It would want freight Just the same." FROM TUSCALOOSA. New Pastor Installed—Funeral of H. Foster Hill. Tuscaloosa.

BAND OF ROBBER8. Negroes Work Slick Game on Mer chants of Gadsden. Gadsden, April 29.—(Special.)—An organ ized gang of burglars have been in Gads den for some time, and they are so bold that they have been stealing goods in bright day light, as well as night. The merchants began to miss their goods, and the officers were notified, and a watch kept. They arrested several ne groes, and search warrants were issued, and the officers began their work, and some eight houses were searched, result ing in finding about $500 worth of goods. It required a dray to remove the stolen goods. Some of the numerous things found were several cases of smoking tobacco, piub tobacco, a barrel of lard, flour in sacks, shoes, meat and many other things. The private mark on most of the property has been Identified by the owners. The way the negroes operated was for one with a good reputation to secure a position with some grocer or wholesale house, and some other negro was always on hand to help him when extra help was needed. They w-ould steal goods, hide them somewhere, and at night haul them off. So far there are eight behind the bars, and more will be arrested. The offi cers are determined to break up the gang Fully $1000 worth of goods have been shipped away from Gadsden to two dif ferent points. The men have been spotted and It is likely that some sensa tional arrests will be made. The float for the Gadsden queen and her maids of honor to be used at the car nival at Anniston is one of the prettiest creations; it is a large swan made on a wagon, and between the wings the seats have been arranged for the queen and her maids. The wagon is covered and draped on the sides and ends, and the large swan is made of white feathers and is alto gether a beautiful float. Will Williams died yesterday from an abscess on the liver.

He and his friends, how ever, were never discouraged. Sullivan was playing his old waiting game in tak ing the punishment. In the twentieth both came up apparent ly fresh. McClelland led off with a right swing. Sullivan clinched, and stepping back, uppercut him twice, then led a hard drive, which sent McClelland to the floor for eight seconds.

WILL ORGANIZE FOR GOOD ROODS 7-. \ State Association Will be Form ed in Louisiana CONVENTION IN SESSION Two Hundred Delegates From the Southern States Are Discussing the Question of Better Roads. New Orleans, April 29.—The National Good Roads Association today commenced In this city its series of conventions for the purpose of Stat^ organization. Little of actual results were accomplished at this first day's session, ut the large at tendance and the interest displayed by the delegates leads the promoters of the movement for improved primary trans portation to believe that a strong and vig orous State organization will result to morrow. More than 200 delegates from parishes and counties throughout Louisi ana and Mississippi and many from Ala bama gathered In Odd Fellows’ Hall at the opening of the convention. After an address of welcome by Mayor C&pdevlelle, Gov. W. W. Heard of Louisiana, ad dressed the convention. He spoke in part as follows: “We notice that the Postal Depart ment is supplementing the efforts of tlie Department of Agriculture by holding out promises* of mail deliveries to the Inhab itants of those rural districts who will furnish the good roads indispensable to the carrying on of such deliveries. “If we wish to check the tendency of our population to flow toward the large cities, we must devise means to afford the rural population better facilities for edu cating their children, for pursuing their religious beliefs, for acquiring informa tion from abroad, for rural mail delivery, for social enjoyment between neighbors, and, in general, better facilities for Inter course with markets and commercial centers." W. H. Moore, president of the National Good Roads Association, addressed the convention at length. He said that this question of communication must be l|fted above politics; that the question of roads, parks .sewers and drainage canals Is to be the political platform of the future. He made an appeal for the help of the women in matters of public interest. He spoke of the wheat shipments from Min nesota and the Dakotas now going via the Canadian canals. “Where do you stand on the Nicaraguan canal question?" said he. “We are going to have that canal in a few years—we must have it." He then described In detail plans for permanent state organization. He was followed by Hon. Martin Dodge, director of public road inquiries, United States Department Agriculture, who de scribed the marvelous progress made in other lines of transportation in contrast with the progress made in primary trans portation. He said that we have already proved that we could attain to a very cheap rate of transportation by the appli cation of modern methods in other direc tions, and that there is no reason why, with the application of the same princi ples, we may not reach the same results in primary transportation over the high roads of the country. He suggested the apportionment of the costs of such roads among the state, parish or county and( property owners, directfy benefited and a demand upon the United States govern ment for aid in this direction. A short address by Hon. Andrew Pat tullo, M. P., of Ontario, Canada, termin ated the morning session, and a large majority of the delegates went at once to view the “object lesson” road In the outskirts of the city. The afternoon session was devoted to the appointment of committees and a gen eral discussion of state organization. An exhibition of street sweeping was given at 8 o’clock this evening.
