(From (he New Vork World.)
Tho figures given in au uri ich? con
cerning thc American U ll Telephone
Company, puhlislod by lim Ne*

only to the business ot'the parent cor?
. pm ai ion. .'lhere me sub-coinpun c
all over the United States und it is
by theso that rho actual telephone
service of tho country is pei foi ne tl,
ami it is through them that the people
pay tho enormous tax now extorted
by thal service.
Tho parent company, ns slated, is a
Mu-sachus?its corporation with the
eentrul oflloo at No. 95, Milk Street,
Boston, witli an authorized capital of
$10,000,000. Tl is is the great Con
trolling and absorbing beut! ot a vast
system that extend* out to every city,
town and considerable Vi 11 ago, gath

authorized capital of thc parent com
pany ia.no index of its wealth und
future aspirations, timi il is only kept
at $10,000,000 because otu rc I usai of
thc Legishuuro ot Massnehusetts to
grunt the company's application f r
un increase lo $30,000,000. The parent
Company an., the sub-companies arc
really one stupendous concern, thc
profitableness of which probably ex
ceed- lhiil,ofany considerable property
knowirfo this ago ol profitable ven
tures.
As soon as tho practicability and
usefulness of the telephone hud been
established there was u great rush in
all directions to secure territory and
form sub-companies. These sub
COinpailies have since been lai'gel>
consolidated, and in May, 1885, there
were thirty-Mix in existence in tte
United States. The one holding
sway over tho city of Ncr York t*
known as the Metropolitan T? lephono
anti Telegraph Com|.uny, which itsell
hus lour Htib-CompanicS or sub licenses
-Tho Domobtie Telegraph amt Tele
K"fione Company, of New York anti

the Staten [blandTelephone Compuuy.
In tho thirty-six sub-coin pu ides refer
red to ubovo no uccoutil is taken ot
tho sub-license-?. In New York thc
Metropolitan stands for all, and the
dealings of thc parent company arc
with it solely.
The parent ooippanv has au interest
in all tho thirty-six sub companies ot
?tho United States. Tho aggregate
capital td these, sub companies amount
ed io $53,000,0u0 on the M-t day ol
March. 1885. li" we. add to that tho
$lo,ooo,000 authorized capital of the

which is $t.5,l)o0,UU0 more iluiii thu
capital stock of the Western Union
Telegraph Company. Without a
check ot some sort it will ?non reach
that anti even still greater proportions
THE OUASP Ol' rm-: PAKENT COMPANY.
Tho interest of the parent company
in the various sub-companies is very
laigo ranging-all tho way from 33 to
Al per cont. On tho Slat of March,
188.), ?ts holdings in the various com
panies amounted in round numbers to
2-40,000 fchorcs, the value ot winch
was estimated at $23,000,000, so that,
of the aggregate $53,000,000 of stock
held by all tho sub companies com
bined, the parent company held almost
half. Its holdings in tho Metropolitan
T?l?phone Company of this city
arnon ii ; to 6,000 shares, its holdings in
the New Ktgland Telephone und Tele
graph Company to 62(156 shares, anil
its lioltiinasju the Central Union Tele
ghonoCompany to about twenty-four
.-thousand .shares. These -hares in sub
companics were obtained in two ways;
one by so-called purchase,tho oilier bj
franchise, the latter lorin meaning
simply a gift for tho right to exist,
while tho purchases matte are no more
than certain transfer of properties
upon which there may he. placed a fic
titious value. O.i the 81st of Mandi
1885, the par value of tho shares ob
tained by francise amounted to 15,500.
But telephone stock is rarely to bo
estimated on the basis of a par vu I un
^.-tion. The present company's stock
has sohl a? high as 250 and is. now
worth'ubout ?500. The stock of nearly
all thc atlbcompatitcs is worth equally
as much. Very little cf it is on the
market ut all, it being too valuable for
speculation purposes.
WKAT/rrt OF THE SI B-COMPANIES.
The combined wealth of tho sub?
companies may bo ascertained, nt least,
approximately, by calculations based
on I he he-t report ot tho parent com
pany, tauted to its stockholders March
82*t, 188?V It is i hore stated that the
average number of exchange connec
tions Tu tho United Suites was 0i)7,9GG
per day%pr 251,267,760 per year. An
exidiuugc connection is what is com
monly ^designated a call. Elsewhere
the report states that thc subscribers
pay from tliree cents to five cents per
conni-,a ?on. Suppose wo fix tho aver
age onarge at four cents per connection.
Multioly the number of connections a
yaar, 351,21)7,79.') bv four cents, wo
obtain a grand tomi of $10,000,710 40,
whieii ia u lair esiimnte of the gross
income. This is 6 | cr cen*, of ?bi?Ul
$176,000,000. Making a reasonable
reduction fop expense-, if. h not prob
able that tho sub-companies of the
couiMAMfrrecotve a net income of less
than 6 per cent, on a combined valua
tion of $150,000,000 The Ihli Tele
phone "property" of the United Slates
may be saf?is placel >,t that h'gh
figure. The actual oupbuii/.ation, ex
cluding tho parent company, is $63,
000,000, as shown by otlioial report,
and it is very certain that the average
real value of the stock i- $200 per
share on a par valuation of $100.
These figures, which aro cert-d ni v

simply remained behind in order to
guard tho square where tho meetings
had been held, instead of following
the gang. Tho roughs and thieves
thus got a free rein und grew bolder
as thev mailo progress, until Uley
reached a point where they were in
sensate with a desire for destruction
mid wholesale pillaging. Kiualh,
thrifty policemen met and disner.-ed

absolutely all there was of it; bm nil
London, in a ridiculous tremor bf agi

lhere was a direct connection between
the windy harangues of the Socialist

helped to bring Londoners to their

ouirse, went into a delirium of re

The neu -papei>( last week gave a

who, With a 11111 II i . t * *. . ot ribald cont rades
had un imitation of the Lord's tiiipocr,
with bread and beer, lo ibu midst ol
tho mockery **nu ioimenso ill-lormed
and foul beast, with cloven leet, point?
d bot us and oyes that flashed lire,'*
appeared. Meeter died u inaiiiue, do
declaring he had seen tho Evil Ooo,
und was lost. Lr ie has a case some
what similar, only thut live .ives were
the penall v of biuspbouy, instead of
ne. Although tho tragic events oc
evrred I ia d' H century ugo, they luivo
never appeared in ibu press, notwith
standing that the older inhabitants
remember them distinctly. Tho cor
respondent was shown un old hotlsO
in Greenfield Township, cast ot hhac,
IV'iui., to which is anacin.d a higblv
dramatic story, lt is u large structure
three stories high, and ol' quaint
architecture. It was erected in ibo
early das s of that county, hus buen
untenanted more limn a generation,
and, il is said, no amount of money
could induce a Greenfield citizen tu
-lay in it over night. In LUM, when
the hutiso was in an uuliiiisiicd ?tate,
but neal Iv ready for occupancy, u
party of Ave mell, bent on deviltry,
took possession and held high revelry
until morning. They were shockingly
impioii?, und, dcadetdug their con
dunces with libations ol whiskey,
brandy and rum, (hey cur.-ed ti od in
turn. A lhbio was torn up, burned,
and the ashes mixed willi thu dory

During i he dl'ea?lul toa?! a terribie
storm sprung up. Lightning biased
from the dui k clouds, mut a tierce
clap of thunder shook Ibo house to iii.

recognized III (bo clap of thunder tho
voice ol tied telling tno live that pun
ishment was to bo visited on each, lt
is a singular and well attested tact,
that ti tearful late befell thc part lob
.'Utils, and the superstitious of Green
field regard it as thc vengeance ol
Heaven in fullillmcnt ot that vision.
Adam Schober was tho first lo die.
His cud was made horrible by delirium
ireinons, mid he raved about everlast
ing torments and hideous d?nions with
spears, Joseph Nell went next, being
drowned in a stagnai.t pond. Tin
(hird, George Hood, perished by the
hand of au unknown asSAtislll, who
..lunged a d ggcr into Ids body in tho
dark. Jonas Larkin was struck dead
ou a wagon ami bis horses drew tl.c
body boinc. The doom of Puter Fill?
1er was suggestive ol his pledge to
Satan in thut blasphemous bowl. He
was imprisoned in a burning building
and roasted alive, and bis charred
bones were gathered from tho ruins.

death which overtook him. Twenty?
live vears ago, when the evil icpu u?
.ion of tho lu.usc was at its height,
Noah W. Lowell, now ibo Erie anent
of the American Lxp.c-s Company,
with a party of young ami glliSlproOl
companions, determined to dispel thc
tears of the people by haring a dance
in tho place. They assembled
against the advice of the oldest ghost
-cees, mid in thc middle ol a waltz a
mighty rush of cold air extinguished
ila- lights. Thc dancers shrieked and
il?*d, eaeli fearful of being noised by Hi?
. du: ol the dead men. Most proba
bly u gust of wind pdt out tho lights,
nut many still believe they had a sup
crnaiural warning.
