the incident of the reading of the signal

play of "Shenandoah."
The general then told with remark

Annual Report of President Roberts, of

New YORK, March 4.-The annual

given out Tuesday. 1t covers the opera
tions of the entire Pennsylvania system,
composed of 100 corporations represent

and capitalization of over STOO, 900, 600.
The operation of this system last year

earnings of S4l,51S,257. After heavy
expenditures for betterments and for

TYPE FOUNDERS CONSOLIDATE.

Thirty OF the Largest Concerns In the
Country VIII Combine for tho Estab-
lIshment of Uniform Prices and the Pre-
vention of Ruinous Competition.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2s.-After negotiations
which have been pending year or more
the big type founders of the country
have about effected consolida ton OF
their interests. The Chicago type
foundries to go into the scheme are
Marder, Luze 6; Co., the Union type
foundry and possibly Barnhart Bros, &
Spindler, though the latter firm has not
as yet signed the option. However, they
are practically as good as identified with
the new concern. The capital involved
Is reported as S6,000,00o.
The establishment of uniform prices
and the protection of printers are said
to be the chief reasons for the consoli
dation of the thirty odd type foundries.
McKellar. Smith &c Jordan, of Philadel-
phia, the largest firm of type founders
in the United States, were among the
first to put their shoulders to the wheel.
James Connors s. Sons, of New York;
Farmer, Little & Co., of Cincinnati, and
Palmer & Ray, of San Francisco, are
also prominently to the fore. Whole
sale cutting of the price of type has been
their ruin of late and the plants Of
printers have been decreasing in value.
Referring to the matter yesterday
president Bower of the Union type
foundry. said: "The extremities to
which this price war has brought found
ers and printers are such that some
remedy is forced upon us, and while
every foundry without exception re-
fuses to go into any trust, the harm be-
ing done to printers is on such an enor-
nous scale that the founders were COM
| PEELED to consent to consolidation.
This consent was practically unani-
nous, as no founder seemed to wish to
bring about the ruin of his fellows any
more than he did the underm lining OF
the credit of the printers
No date has been fixed for the time OF
consolidation, but the thing is surely
going through, as the formal written
consents of ene-half of the founders
have already been given. Next month
will probably bring forth the develop

S3,OOO,OOO.
New YORK, March &C. b. Wright,
the Northern Pacific railroad million
aire, has purchased in his own name
the entire capital stock and bonds of the

crate line in front of which MCPHERSON
had been killed. While he was passing
up and down in front of little house
where he had his headquarters, lis
tening to the roar of the battle, he saw
some one emerge from the woods near
by carrying the body of the slain gem
eral. 1t was taken into the little house,
and the general said that he knelt down
beside the body, unbuttoned the uni
form coat and began to search for the
papers in the pocket. Suddenly his
hand was covered with blood, and the
shock was SO great to him that he could
no longer pursue his inquiry. He called
to the chief of his medical staff and
asked him to ascertain whether any pa
pers were on the body. After a brief
search the reply came that there was
nothing to be found.
The general said that his agitation
at this time was overwhelming. AL
though the enemy's shells were flying
all about the house he was totally OBJ
livious of his personal danger, thinking
only of the safety of his army.
A few minutes later two men came to
the house leading confederate
prisoner. One of them said General
we captured this man near where we
recovered the body of Mcpherson"
"Very good" said, continued Gen
Sherman, as he told the story, 'searcf
him and turn him over to the headquart

body, had not the time even to examin,

impetuous troops. You can rest as
sured that felt very much better afte

A Veteran Who Has Been Overlooked
For Twenty-Slx Years.
There lives to-day in Vincennes, Ind,
a soldier of the late war, who, up to the
present day, has not been mustered out
of or discharged from the service, con-
sequently pay, clothing and subsistence
allowances are due him from the date
of the muster out of the service of his
regiment in the early part of 1865 up to
the date in this or the next month, 1891.

bus, o. Here is man still in the vol
unteer forces of the United nearly
twenty-siX years after the war IS over
and yet for all not in the service during
that time or any part of it, for it seems
that when he had learned that his regi-
ment was discharged from the service
he left for his home and became q citi-
zen of his own accord.
1t will be asked how it was that this
man was not discharged with his COM
pany and regiment. Simple enough. 1t
was because he was detailed from his
company as carpenter to work in one
of the military railroad shops in the dis
trict in which his regiment was serving
at the time and as he was away from the
immediate control of his Captain and
Colonel and in the hours and furry OF
those days, he was entirely forgotten,
and he might have been forgotten till
doom's day if it had not been for his
having made claim against the gov.
ernment some time ago for pay, cloth.
ing and subsistence for the time inter.
vening between the muster out of his
regiment and that of his own discharge
(yet to be). He is not the only man OF
the regiment left in this plight, as there
were quite number detailed ON the
same duty at the time he was detailed
in an Ohio regiment is evident from the
fact that few days ago he received
word from his attorney to be ready any
day, as he would receive due notice tc
proceed to Columbus, Ohio, to be finally
and formally mustered out of the ser
vice of the United States, and that
pay and allowances would be re,
ceived up to date of discharge. Will
wonders never cease? How it is thai
this man, 20 years after the war is over
is, still counted in the service, anc
still for all not in the service. 1t is be
yond the comprehension of any old sol
dier of any experience at all.--Vin

CARRIED OPEN LAMPS.

A New Theory as to the Cause of the Ter.
rible Mine Disaster in Nova ScOtia.
HALIFAX, N. S., Feb. 2s.-Inspector
of mines Gilpin has returned here from
Spring Hill, where he has been making
an investigation of the recent colliery
disaster. He said: 81 have heard il. said
that certain party had been informed
that two of the miners at Spring Hill
carried open lamps in their pockets.
When no one was near they would take
out their lamps and use them in addi'
ton to the safety lamp When any one
approached they usually extinguished
them. If this report is true it may
have an important bearing on the cause
of the explosion. | shall probe the mat
ter to the bottom and find out exactly
what truth there is in it."
The underground force at the time OF
the disaster comprised 40 coal cutters,
216 laborers and 1872 boys. Next Mon
day work will be resumed, but 1t may
be some time before full complement
of men are at work. The fund s1b-
scribed in Halifax for the relief OF the
sufferers amounts to IS, 900.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.
Proposed Reunion mt Chicago During the
Worlds Fair.

Worlds Fair.
MONTICELLO, ILL.,, March 4.--The Con-
federate veterans of ViclSsburg, Miss,
have sent to an aid-de-camp of the COM
mander-in-chief of the Grand Army OF
the Republic plans for the proposed re-
union of the blue and gray at Chicago
during the worlds fair. The plan as
outlined by Col. Il. C. Carroll and Major
Lamar Fountaine, OF the Confederate
army, is to have a pavilion erected at
Chicago to be called the "Blue and the
Gray" for the old veterans of both
armies, in which the flags, swords, guns
and other relics will be stored, the vet
terans to camp in tents furnished by
the war department.
The various states will be asked to
furnish transportation for the old sol
diers within their borders and the gov
ernment will be asked to furnish ra-
tions, the blue and the gray building to
be built by all states combi ed. The
governors of the different states will
appoint committees to carry out the pro-
gramme. The reunion is expected to
last from ten to thirty days. The Con-
federates have written to the president
asking his assistance to carry out their
plans for the reunion, an | the southern
senators and congressman have also
been called on to aid in the work.
