GAVE UP THE GHOST.
The Columbia iron and Steel Com.
pany Makes an Assignment.
PAPERS RECORDED AT UNIONTOWN
Small Shareholders Are Reported as Being
Very Badly Hit.
EFFORTS TO RAISE MONEY FAILED

The Columbia Iron and Steel Company
made an assignment last night in favor of
Charles A. 0'Brien, of this city, for the
heneit of its creditors. The legal papers
were drawn up by S. /. Mestrezat
and placed on record in the Registers
Office at Uniontown about s o'clock
last night, by joseph Butz and Frederick
YeaCer. Christian Yeager, President of the
company, confessed judgment in the sum of
S25, ,5SS to his son-in-law, Rev. John G.
Goettman.
1t is rumored that large judgments were
entered Yesterday against both the Colum-
bia Iron and Steel Company and the
PENNSYLVANIA Construction Company. Mr..
YeaCer is President of both concerns.
Among the largest creditors are Messrs.
BoCgs & Buhl, of Allegheny, both of whom
are shareholders, but the greater number of
the latter are Uniontown people, who, it is
said, will lose heavily.
The affairs of the company have been in
very mixed condition for some time past.
Mr.. Butz was in London last summer seek
ing to raise S4OO, 900 on mortgage bonds, but
be failed to satisfy the English fnanciers of
the stability of the security, and was unsuc-
cessful. Lately it was said that the COM
pany had under consideration an offer to buy,
but this did not materialize. Mr.. Butz
was asked in relation TO the rumors current
for some weeks of his company's weakness.
He said that these were false, and that the
contract for the iron work of the Masonic
building in Chicago would enable them to
keep going. Mr.. Buhl was also seen in the
same connection He said that he was not
well posted on the affairs Of the company.
The conduct of the business was left in the
bands of Mr.. Butt, and Mr.. Buhl knew
very little about it. All he did know was
that he was a shareholder.
The directors of the Columbia Iron and
Steel Company are Christian Yeager, E. NJ.
Butz, r. II. Boggs, H. Buhl and Hon. j.
H. Ewing, of Uniontown.
The compauy's plant at Uniontown is in
good working order, and when running full
gives employment to 200 men. Much dis
satisfaction has existed among the employees
lately, owing to the deferred paws, and it is
said that much Inconvenience has resulted
to a number of families.

PRAISE FOR ARIZONA,
The Territory Is Anxious to Be Admitted
to the Union.

to the Union.
II. 7. Fisher, of Tombstone, Ariz., regis
tered at the Schlosser last evening. MIR.
Fisher is manager of the Sterling Mining
Company, a Pittsburg concern, W. P.
Armitt being one OF the directors. Recently
the pumping apparatus of the company was
burned and he has come to Pittsburg to look
up the best methods of draining mines. He
says the property is one Of the most valuable
in the Territory and they are doing good
business.
1.-The climate of Arizona" he said, 'is
better than California tor consumptives, but
few people know it. The Territory is also .
better fruit country. The mountains are so
arranged by nature as to leave large fertile
valleys between them, well adapted for agri-
culture and raising cattle. Arizona has a
larger population than Wyoming, and New
Mexico mas twice SIS many people, but be-
cause these Territories are Democratic they
were not admitted to the Union. Without the
privileges of State we can't get anything,
but everything has been prepared for
another application of admission, and we
think with the aid of Democratic Congress
we will be more successful this time
Nevada has been declining until now the
State hasn't more than $4,000 people. The
decision OF Mackey and his associates to
drain the lower levels of the Comstock
mines has arrested the decay, and itsOnce
extensive mining population may return.
