The statistics extend over a period
Of thitty.four years. The most dis
astrous years of this long period We're
1857, when there we're 1882 failures
and 1921 1850, 900 liabilities 1861, the
breaking out of the war, 6,693 fail
ures aud $2O7, 100000 liabilities !;
1873, 5,lS3 failures and sos, 400, 600
liabilities 1878, l0,47S failures and
1924 1888, 1872 liabilities. These figures
show, us the country has increased in
population, the latter years show an
increase in the number of failures
and a decrease in the total liabilities
This is is evidently due to our tariff
protective system, which favors com
bines and trusts, enabling the big
fish to swallow up the little ones,
driving out competition and divid-
ing the country into two classes, the
rich and the ponr.

Thousands Poiaonad.

In a recent work on Heart Diseases
DR.. Franklin Miles, the noted special
ist, gives many new and startling facts.
Thousands of people are slowly poi
soning themselves, weakening their
hearts by the Use of tea, coffee, tobac-
co and alchohol. These are haart
whips, causing it to beat rapidly, thus
gradually wearing it out, producing
shortness of breath when exercising,
pains in side and shoulder, hungry
and faint spells Finally heart failure
and sudden death. For weakened aud
irrtated hearts the press everywhere
highly recommend the New Heart
Cure discovered by DR.. Franklin
Miles, which is for sale at Owen &

A FIRE ON THE MoNoNGAHHLA
Two Towboats Burned in the Early Hou1
of the Morning.

Two Towboats Burned in the Early Hours
of the Morning.
Early yesterday morning fire was discov-
cred on the towboat Coal Valley, lying at
the Monongahela wharf. An alarm was
sounded, but before the engines reached the
river bank the boat was a mass of flames
The Coal Valley lay just below the Annie
Roberts, and the flames soon communicated
with this boat. The Coal Valley was cut
loose and drifted out into the middle of the
river, when it burned to the waters edge
and sunk.
The Coal Valley is complete loss The
wreck of it is lying crosswise about the mid
die of the river and will interfere somewhat
with navigation until the remains are cleared
away. The boat was owned by Captain
Holmes Horker and j. H. Musgroye 1t
was one of the best on the river. 1t was
valued at SIS, 900. although Mr.. Musgrave
says it could not be rebuilt for less than
$40, It had double 20-inch cylinders
with 7-foot stroke, and was very strong
boat On its last trip it took out eight coal
boats and ten barges, with a total Of "a, 900
bushels of coal 1t only got back last week.
1t was insured for 81 500. The Annie Rob-
erts was owned bv the Horner & Roberts
Coal Company. Captain Barrows said yes
terday morning that they could not tell
what their loss would be, but it will prob
ably reach $4,000. The boat was valued at
SIS 900, with no insurance, as the company
carry no insurance on any of their property.

THE SAND DIGGERs TALK.
Reasons They Give for the Formation Of
the Local Trust.

Reasons They Give for the Formation oi
the Local Trust.
The announcement of the consolidation oi
the river sand companies, exclusively
given in yesterdays DISPATCH, created
considerable comment in the circles most
directly interested. Mr. T. NJ. Jenkins,
the well known coal operator, and men,
Der of the Vigilant Company, said: "Lately
the river sand Dealers have had oonsidera-
Bile to contend with in the way of new
rulings by the Government and the opposi-
tion of the Coal Exchange Down at the
Point we formerly secured most of the
sand, there being 40 feet to dredge. The
Government forced the boats to vacate,
owing to the complaints that the humps
left in the channel after the boat was
through dredging was an impediment to
navigation. We were also ordered to
dredge humps, and you know this has
proven quite an expense. Then, again,
the combination has been considered the
proper thing by reason of the fact that the
business can be operated upon in more
economic basis"
Mr.. Charles Holmes, Treasurer of the
Monongahela Sand Company, when spoken
to regarding the proposed trust, said: ''The
preliminary negotiations have been COM
pleted and only a few legal formslities,
such as dissolving the firms who propose
entering the new combine, is yet to be ar
ranged. The charter members have been
named and application for charter for the
new company will shortly be made. It will
be known as the Iron City Sand Company,
and will embrace practically all the river
sand firms"

There Is no doubt Whatever that the PEN
sion Office will be removed to the new Gov
ernment building before January notwieh-
standing statements to the contrary. Pen
sion Agent Bengough expects to commence
work in the new location next Saturday.
None Of the special furniture, such as cas-
ing, counters, ETC., can be placed In the
offices till February but temporary arrange
ments will be made to conduct the business
AT the January pay a new feature will be
introduced that will afford great satisfaction
to all concerned. Agent Bengough has ar
ranged with the Tradesmen's National Bank
to have all pensioners checks paid at the
Pension Office instead Of as hereto
fore at the bank. On the nrst and
second days paying teller from the bank
viii be stationed in one Of the rooms OF the
Pension Department with funds sufficient to
pay all checks that may be presented. This
will be as great benefit to the bank as to
the pensioners, as the large increase In the
number of pensioners receiving their money
from the Pittsburg agency has caused much
annoyance to the bank officials. On the first
day of the pay the banks customers were
nearly barred out by the host of pensioners.
The new offices are located on the Cherry
alley side of the building. The elevator Will
not be in running order by January but
Sns 'fas M are be S on the s
floor to direct pensioners to the Pen

so manned that they are unable to walk up

downstairs to pay them upon receiving noti-
fcation through the watchman. Agent
Bengaugh is not at all satisfied with the as
signment OF rooms for the pension business.
There is neither sufficient floor room nor
wall space for the casing safes, etc. He has,
however, been assured by the custodian Of
the building, Postmaster Mexican, that more
room will be assigned to the Pension De-
partment as soon as the official in charge OF
the matter can mako visit from Washing.

Comrade Bengough has many kind words
for Mr.. Mexican for his courtesy and energy
in doing all he can to get the pension rooms
ready for occupancy at the time stated. The
Postmaster has cheerfully put himself out
very much to do this.
