Thle parent company, as stated, i:- a
Massachusetts corporaunti with iih
,entral office at No. 95, MIk 6:reet,
Boston, with an authorized callatal of
$10,000,000. Ti is is the great con
trolling and absorbing h.ad of a vast
systecs that extends ot to every city,
town and considerable village gath
eriU in every year a gross aicomte
alnust as great as that of the We-:'rnz
Union Teiescraph Comipany. TIw
authorized capital of the patent coma
pat is no index of its whealth und
future aspiratious, and it is onty kept
at $10,000,000 because of a reiual if
the Legislature of %la'sa&chu-etts to
grant the company's aplIicaion f r
an increase to $3o,00,000. The parent
coipany anu. the sub-companies are
really one ttupendous concern, the
profitableness ot which probably ex
ceeds that of any considerable propertty
known to this age of profitab!e ven
tures.
As soon as the practicability and
usefulness of the telephone had been
established there was a great rush in
all directions to ,ecure territory and
form sub-companies. These sul
companies have since been lar'gel%
consolidated, and in May, 1S5, there
were thirty-six in existence ini the
Uzdted States. The one holdin2
sway over the city of New Yurk i,
knowrn as the Metropolitan Telephone
and Telegraph Comi.any, which itselt
has four Zub-companies or sub-licenses
-The Domestic Telegraph and Tele
phone Company, of New York and
New Jersey Telephone Company, the
Westchester Telephone Company and
the Staten Island Telephone Company.
In the thirty-six sub-coupanies relfer
red to above no account is taken of
the sub-licenses. In New York the
Metropolitan stands for all, and the
dealiogs of the parent company are
with it solely.
- The parent cowpany has an interest
in all the thirty-six stib-companies of
the United States. The aggregate
capital ofthese sub-companies anount
ed to $53,000,O00 on t:e 1,St day of
March, 1885. If we add to t hat the
.$W,000,C00 authorizad capital of tie
parent company it makes a grand
total of $63,000,000. If the parent
ompany were to be granted the addi
tional $20,000,000 of aut borized capi
tal stock they have asked for, the
grand total would foot up $83,000,4A0o,
which is $3,000,000 more iln the
capital stock .f the Western Union
Telegraph Compuny. Without, a
check ot some sort it will soon reach
that and even still greater propirtions
THE GR ASP OF THE PARENT coltPANY.
* The interest of the parent company
ju the variotus sub-cotmpanies is very
ai-ge rangwg all the way from 33 to
51 per cent. On the 31st of March,
-.ti85.itsbholdings in the, variou< comn
*pasides amounted in round numibers to
24O,000 shares, the value ot which
was estimated at- $23,000,000), so that,
of the aggregate S53,000,000) ot' stock
held by all the sub- companies comn
binsed, the parent company held almost
half. Its holings in the'Metropoliian
Telephone Company of this city
at to. 8,000 shares, its holdings in
e ew England Telephone and rele'
~ ~raph Company to 62,156 shares, and
itslholdings in the Central Union Tele
b. one Company to about twenty-four
thonandshaes.These shares in sub
companies were obtainedin two ways;
one by so-called purchase,the other by
franciuise, the latter term meaning
simply a gift for the right to exhi,
whiletbe purchases made are nao mnore
--than certain transfer of properties
upon which there may be placed a fic
titions rate. Ona the 31st of March
1885, the par value of the shares. ob
tained-by franciseamounted to 15,500.
Bls'te'phone stock is rarely to be
estimated on the basis of a par valua
tion. 'the present company's stock
has sold as high as 250 and is now
worth about 300. The stock of neariy
all the subcomnpanics is wort h equally
as much. Very little of it is on the
market at all, it being too valuable for
speculation purposes.
WEA LTH OF TH E SUB-CO31PA NIES.
*The combined wealth of the sub
companies may be ascertained, att least
approximately, by calculations based
ont the last report ot the pareri.t cotri
pansy, issued to i:s stockholdrs Marchl
32st, 1885. Itris there stated that the
average number of exchange connaee
tiens'in the United St ates w as 697,96

TIIE ST. LOUIS T RUNK 31URDER.
The Corpse Identified by a Dentist who
Filled the Murdered Man's Teeth.
( Oakland (UCal.) Tribun~e.)
The sol vihng of the St. Louis murder
mystery is about to take place. It hias
been disputed by the ins~uratnce comnpa
nies, with whom Prellar, the alleged
victim of the above mnurder, was in
sured, that the dead body was tat of
Prelhar. The clarits of the ina-ur
ance mo~ney, to verity their clairns,
have had rthe boidv disiniterred and the
head severed, wirh a view to prove by
the teeth, which had at some rime beent
tiled, that they potssessedt Pieliar's
head and that Prellair was dead. This
method of' protof was suggested by thre
~tding amont~ra Prettar's efl'-ete of a
rec-ined bill htearinzr tate of Marchi
29, i878, serring forth that certain
teeth in Prellar's .pws had been tilled
kv. Dr. E. T. B~urnaeite, of Oakltand, at
tre tine when Prellar was visiting
this State. A few days ago, Dr. Bur
nete received at letter from the claitui
ait'- lawy ers, askin~ lhim whether he
p"-rformed certai n 'dental worik tfor

ill Greeiitield Towilipl, east ot Eric,
Peni., to which is a:.tachied a hiigly
dramatic story. It it a large Structure
three Stories high, and of quainit
architecture. It was erected in uie
early days of that county, has been
untenanted more than a generation
and, it is said, n2o atnount of iioney
could induce a Greenfield citizen to
stav in it over tiight. In 1836, when
the house was in an untinished state,
but nearly ready for occupancy, a
par.y of tive mnl, bent on <teviltr,
took possessioii and held high revelry
until uriiing. They were shockingly
iipiou-, and, deadeniug their coal
-detces with libations of whiskev,
brandy amt ruin, they cursed God inl
(urn. A Bible was torn up, huried.
and the ashes iixed with the aerv
beverage. Then the men, lifting high
their cups, dranik to the confusion of
thie Christian God arid success to the
Prince of Darknies and Ruler of Hellj
During the dreadhul ttia'4 a terrible
sorin sprang up. Lightning blazed
from the daik clouds, and a fierce
clap of thunder shook the house to its
foundation, making the blasphieners
pause. Three days later oe of tuiem
told the other tour he had had a fright
tul dream. In the visiou lie aw him
self arid rouirades as they were three
nights before. lie saw the Sacred
Book blazing aid reduced to carbon
and mingledi with the liquor, and he
recognized in the clap of thunder the
voice ot God telling tne live that pun
ishteiit was to be visite.1 on each. It
is a singular and well-attested fact
that a tearful late betell the partici
..ants, and the .uperztitious of Gree ii
:d regard it as the vengeance of
fleaveti in fulillment of that visionl.
Adan zchober was the irt to die.
His end was made horrible by delirium
tremjetis, and hte raved about everlast
ing torments aid hideous demons with
,ears. Josepli Neil went next, being
drowned in a stagia't pond. The
third, George Hood, perished by the
nand of an unknown assassinl, who
liunged a d gger into hi. body in the
tark. Jonas Larkin was -,truck dead
on a waoti and his boraes drew the
body borne. The doom of Peter Ful
ier was stuggestive of his pledge to
Satan in that blasphemous bowl. He
was imprisoned in a bur'ning btilding
aid roasted alive, and his charred
bunes were gathered frotm the ruiis.
For miany years the place was be
iieved-to be haunted by the spiiiti of
the "Fcarful Five" as they were call
ed. It was insistrd that upon every
anniversar'y of the uiiholy orgie their
slectrtes entered the house and went
'lhrough the 13ible bur'niing and driink
-ceneo again, afteri whiich each was
seized with the agonies peculiar to the
death a hieh overtook him. T wenu -

against the advice of the oldest ghost

mighty trush of cold air extingutishe~d
