HOWLAND BUYS THE MONTQOM ERY WATER WORKS. The Oltrte Be Congratulated an the End of the Contest The Two Work Will ise Operated Separately and Both Will Supply OaoA Water. Yesterday afternoon an Advertiser man was walking down Commerce street, a prominent citizen called him aside and whispered to him that a trade Detween tne old ana tne new water works companies was about to be con summated.

The Advertiser man in stantly started for headquarters for In formation on the subject. Proceeding to the office of the Capital uity water uompany ne met tneir or ganizer, Mr. A. H. Howland, In the door.

He was holding up a glass of crystal artesian water, and witn a oeam- lng smile kindly invited the interviewer "to take a drink." The invitation was accepted with pleasure, and with renewed coolness the Advertiser man went straight to the point. "Mr. Howland. it is stated that the new water works have bought the old; is this true?" at "No sir. it is not true, but I mvself have bought the Montgomery Water worKs.

'Well, does not that practically amount to the consolidation of the old works with the new "Ihelawsof Alabama make it Illegal for one stock company to buy out the stock of another, and we cannot do any thing illegal. "But is it not probable that the legal difficulties will be overcome, and the consolidation brought about ultimately?" "That remains to be seen, but of course it is a natural sequence." "Well, what will be tne immediate cons quence of your purchase?" "I will take possession of the Mont-gamery Water Works and will operate tnem as my individual All the employes of the old company will be retained, and no ripple will appear in tne ordinary operation oi the works." "Will the borinir of the artesian well on the river bank be conttnued "Hardly. I suppose. I have no con tract with Mr. Cnapln to bore wells there, and it is not likely the old com pany will pay him to continue tne worK.

"What price did you pay for the plant?" "i'nat is so tar a private matter, ana cannot be made public." "It is rumored that you own 23,000 of the old company's mortgage bonds; is that true?" "Yes, I bargained for twenty-three ot the twenty-seven extant bonds last week in Boston, though they belonged to Cincinnati parties." "Did this play any part in the purchase of the works?" Yes. to a certain extent, in an indi rect way." "wnen did tne Montgomery water Works learn of your possession of these bonds?" "Within the last day or two, I think." "How was the trade brought about? Did you make an offer, or did the old com piny approach you?" "Mutual iriends for some time have been trying to bring about a union of interests, and to-day the overtures were accepted by me. with some compromises, on substantially my view of a basis." "As to an important practical ques tion, Mr. Howland how soon will the mains ot the old worss De connected with the new, so tbat everybody can eDjoy artesian water "mat cannot yet oe answered. For an indefinite period the works will be operated separately, exactly a3 they are now." A great many other questions were asked Mr.

Howland, but beyond the above general outline he said it was not proper for anything further to be made public. E'ery endeavor was made to learn, even from other sources, the consideration paid in the bargain, but very few people know, and it could not be found out. The facts of the sale will be startling to the general public, for the rumor of it was spread but little on the streets last evening. Of course, it is gratlf iog tbat a consolidation is so near at nana, not only ia the interest of all concerned, but for the complete harmony of the people of Montgomery and the removal rrom rne courts or vexatious litigation against the city aid between the rival companies. The ultimate result will be a more extensive and complete system of water wcrks here tnan any where eke in the country in a city near Montgomery's size.

Some skeptical ones were heard to say that the ending of competition would be disastrous to water consumers, and productive of high rates and arbitrary methods. But the likelihood of such consequences Is very remote, when the high character of the officers of the Capital City company is considered, to say nothing of their ub questioned business ssgacaty and prudence, The Ad vebtiseb congratulates tne city on tne news of this morning. An tnterotate orill. Why shouldn't Montgomery have 'a grand Interstate drill next There is a great deal said about it and everybody is in favor of it but nobody sets about it. From a prizs drill point of view Montgomery is now the most celebrated town in tne country.

No other city even pretends to two such companies as the Greys and ues and their fame is national. Her military spirit is recognized everywhere and she would draw as would no other town. If the military and their friends will gather around Mayor Reese and give him the right sort of support and encouragement he will have the move-meat on its feet in no time and less.

He said: The management 'did their ntmost to De mat and lair.and we were aemrne- ed with their courteous treatment of us an.

I Unfortunately, the drill was gotten up In too limited a time for all the ar rangements to be perfect. The indites had time to make onlv one programme for both State and Interstate contests. It was the desire, in order to distribute the attractions through the week and to draw a crowd each day. to have some oi me cracs companies on eaon aay programme. Thus It happened that the Blues and San Antonio Ri9as drilled on Saturday and the Houston and Branch Guards the following Monday.

The men of the various companies were al lowed to witness the drills, the captains alone being exclude! Unlike other interstate contests, the compa nies were allowed to practice up to the time of going on the field. There was a verbal understanding that the captains would not receive any Information asr to the programme. The daily papers commanted on the drills of each day and the men talked about them In camp, so that It was impossible for a captain not to receive more or less information. Oa the morning ot Tuesday, the day the prizes were delivered, the captains were assembled before the judges and asked to sign a statement tnat tney nad received no intormauon. AU signed it except myself.

I sent a statement to the managers that the Blues were soldiers and not sea lawyers, and had received no prize not fairly won. Capt. Scurry, formerly captain of the Houston Guards, was present during the drill and it is reported drilled that company after others had been through the programme on the field. The newspapers stated that he had been consulted about the programme and gave it as his opinion that it was a good tntrty minute drill. Tne Blues are confident that if the Houstons had drilled on the same day with themselves they would nave won nrst place.

ADout tne errors macH dv tne nines. in facing they made a company error except three men, which looked to the audience as if the tbree men had made the error. That counted 3 numbers off. In two evolutions the programme called for double time to be continued from preceeding evolution, and the double time not being txpressed in evolutions on tne programme I executed tnem in quick time, thm making two captain's errors counting three each. The method of marking was 3 as perfection in an evolution, a captain a error scored a whole numbers off, a private's error one-tenth.

With one company error and two by the captain nine whole num bers were deducted irom tne score oi i he Blues. If the programme had been given us an hour beforehand as stated in the rules sent us two months ago, I would have bad time to memotize It sofficiently to have avoided the two captain's errors. As a matter of fact I only received it 25 minutes before we were ordered on tne Held, 'mere was no miBConstiuetion of the programme and we completed it in 4U minut-s, tne time allowed. Tne judges stated publicly that the Blues put up the smoothest, prettiest drill tney had ever seen. The Blues are perfectly satisfied with the decision and entertain the pleasantly possible memories of tbe judges, the management, their comrade.) in the contest and the good people of Galveston."
