THE DEAL WAS CLOSED IN CHICAGO YESTERDAY. C. C. & L.,C. H. &D & P.M Will All be Merged Into a Great SystemRock Island Back of it all?

A deal was closed yesterday iu Chicago, -whereby the Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville, formerly the C'tmnnati, Richmond & Muncie, passed ;jto rhe hands of i the Perre Marquette C. H. & D. syndicate and will hereafter be a part of that system, which will ho known as the Pere Marquette system, says the Cincinnati Enquirer exclusively this morning. Not long ago the story got abroad that the C. C. & L. would purchase the C. H. & D. This was br a part of the main story that somehow had got out ahead of time. Instead of the C. C. & L.'s purchasing the C. H. & D. both were purchased by the same road. It is also said that the entire negotiations are in the interest of the Rock Island, in which W. R Leeds and D. G. Reid are also deeply interested and that this road, backed by a Boston syndicate, is doing the financing of the new deal. A great railroad system, comprise! of all these roads, is the latest, but whether it will materialize is doubt ful. The C. C. & L. is now awaiting er trance into Chicago from Hammond over the tracks of the Chicago Term inal Transfer Company and is awaiting a court decision before it can lay tracks to Hammond. It is the shortest road from Cincinnati to Chicago by about twenty-five miles. . -, , The road was - originally- the-C-R. & M., but on the entrance into Cincinnati the name was changed to read as it now does. ML GLEN BE A A Wild Report to -at Effect Whiz zing Through the Air. A wild report is in circulation that the Glen .vill be turned into a sum mer resort either this summer or next. The rumor goes on to say that a hotel, wiLh accommodations tor a good many, will be built, and that a number .' up to date steps will be taken to complete the transformation However, it is only a rumor and is liktlv without turth. Last year a re port was spread that the Glen would be changed into a fashionable resort this vear. but the chanjre failed to materialize and the next one will also However '.he rumor, if nothing more suggests the possibility of a gooc thing to an enterprising1 promoter and it may be that something will bob up in the share of this proposed e'lange The Glen offers many possibilities in this way. Knights of Columbus Will Celebrata Tomorrow. Richmond Council No. 580 will bserve Memorial day at their hall tomorrow afternoon. The only re'bei of the society who died during the year was Patrick Golden. The services will be very impressive. SUIT FILED. A. C. Lindemuth filed the complaint of Windsor Wiggs vs. John D.

The finance committee of the City Council held a meeting last night. Edgar Norris, H. W. Deuker and A. W. Blickwedel were present. The clerk's and treasurer's reports were gone over and found correct. The question of a tax ferret was brought up and discussed

EM LACE IS MRS. ELIZA CULBERTSON Oi" THIS CITY IS POSSESSOR. OF A FiNE COLLECTION A Few Valuable Pieces Loaned to the Art Exhibit Lady of the Old School. Mrs. Eliza Culbertson, of this city, has one of the finest collections of old and rare lace in the "West and indeed some of it is not to be duplicated in this country, notably, "The Pope's oint," some of' which is to be seen on exhibition at the Garfield school building. After much persuasion Mrs. Culbertson consented to lend to the exhibition a few valuable pieces and hese include examples of Italian, Hungarian, Mexican, Rose and Pope's oint. The latter is especially rare, no successful imitation being possible, and, indeed, no Pope's Point has been produced within the past hundred years, so that the local public is for tunate in being able to see the pieces loaned by Mrs. Culbertson. It is said that on one of the marble effigies of a bvgone Father of the church, which is to be seen near the crypt in St. Peters at Rome, there is reproduced such an exquisite reproduction of this lace as to seem the actual tex ture itself instead of a carving marble. One piece owned by Mrs. Culbertson was the occasion of an interesting little episode when crossing the Atlantic, certain connoisseur unknown to Mrs. Culbertson offering her his gold watch of great value for this piece of lace, which she was wearing about her neck. Mrs. Culbertson 's splendid collection of laces is, in its way, invaluable, and priceless, almost all of the pieces being heirlooms handed down from a long past generation, and having been worn by her great, great grandmother, great ladies of a century or so ago, Mrs. Culbertson herself being that all too rare a social entity in this day of shoddiness and cheap pretense, a "lady of the old school," her ancestors and present kin being among the titled aristocracy of England, Mrs Culbertson herself being of the most delightful personality and talking entertainingly about her beautiful laces and her girlhood in her English home.
