May 30—A trolley with blue and yellow flameti ahoctlng irum beneath and spot^ding at a i‘it-niile-au- hour rate, men niakir.g l<^aps from the rear platform, wouh'u s>-Toam- from the windows to be let off and two fire engines, a hool; and lad der and a battalion chief in wild pur suit was the stirring spectac le furnisii- ed yesterday on Third avenue. The car was filled. Just below One Hundred and Fourteenth street, a de fective fuse set fire to tlie insulation in the bottem and in a few minutes liames be^^an to curl out from bene:iih the car, while white streamers of fcmoke filtered tihrough and gave warn ing to the passengers of their danger. Tiiere was a mad scramble for the door, but on the instant the c(uiduc- tor gave the signal for full spe;^.l aheail. So the motarman turned on lull speed and started down the av enue. Some one turned in an alarm, however, and when the first engine reached the avenue the lilaxing car was a block away. The engine start ed at full speel i*n pursuit and a few Mocks further down the avenue was joined by another. On the sidewalk several thousaiiid people joined in the iiursuit. I The car’s speed fanned the flames, and there was monjentary danger of them breaking thiough into the body of the car. A fire truck Joined the race and then Dattalion Chief Short wheeled into line. Down the av('nue they sj>eil. the burning car gaining every minute on its pursuers and the engines finally abandoned the chase.

GOES TO SOUTHERN. :Hlgh Authority Says ?Vlerger Will Soon I Occur. I Atlanta, May 2().—'The Southei-n rail- ' way and the Mobile an(fH)hio railway will consolidate .luly I. if there is no hitch in the jiresent plans of the man agement of those roa 'S. This intormation ha.s not yet been ofl[icially announced, hut it is learned on good authority that such is the in- te«ntion of the cuntrollirtg interests of the two railwnys. The Southern has owned a maJo.c- ity uf the siock of the .Mobile an Ohio for some time, and it was the intention to consolidate them in April, but the fact that there was consider- a?ble legislative excitement at that time in the state of Mississip])i cause-d the management of the Southern to p')st- •>one the matti'r. It was deemed the wiser course to wait u-ntil this trans ient feeling had s-ornewhat subsided before making ]>ublic the fact that tha two great systems would be united un ver one management. It is probable that the name of the Mobile and Ohio will he used no long er than July, and that thereafter the lines composing that system will be operated under the name of the South ern Railway company.
