THE BUSINESS WORLD.

BIG BRADDOCK MILLS IN ASHES
Iron Wages Reduced in the Shenango and
Mahoning Valleys
FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS

NEW YORK, March 25.-Bradareet's Weekly
Wall Street Reyiew says: The discussion OF
the Bland silver measure at Washington
has this week furnished the chief cause for
further speculative hesitation. At the same
time, it would seem that Wall street had
discounted the possibility Of the bill becom-
ing law, and that the decline of bar silver
this week to the lowest figures recorded for
the metal in modern times measured the
chances of such action, as estimated in finan-
cial circles. Europe has not been prominent
as factor in the stock market. and the par
ticipatlon from that quarter has been con-
fined to spasmodic selling of few special
stocks.
The sharp advance which has occurred in
exchange rates may, indeed, be connected
with the silver agitation, and represents
more closely than the operations of the
share market would do the conservative
tendency aroused by the proceedings in the
House of Representatives. The side-track-
ing of the Bland bill Thursday was, to a
certain extent, relief to the market.
Nevertheless, it would seem that certain
feeling of uncertainty was aroused on that
account which will not disappear tor some
time. These influences have certainly linn
tied speculation and kept the market In a
narrow and professional state.
But, though this feverishness and sensi-
tive condition are apparent, it seems that
little inducement was afforded for bearish
attacks on values in general. Some declines
were produced in the opening Of the week,
and later on the Presidents message on the
Bering Sea question was used as cover for
bear raid. Nevertheless. the frmness OF
the market has not disappeared.
The feature of the week was the Industrial
group, with sugar in the role Of chief per-
former Chicago Gas. also, developed in
tillers was somewhat frmer, Cordage also
showing decidedly firm disposition. The
decline of Northern Pacific preferred was
the most striking of the weeks bearish
manifestations. Somewhat similar tenden-
cies developed in the common shares and in
North American.

The Entire Plant Of the Braddock Com
pany Burned Yesterday.
RANKIN STATION, March 25.-[ Special ]
A fire at Rankin to-day at 2 P. NJ. de-
stroyed the entire plant of the Braddock
Glass Company and the office adjoining, to-
gether with large amount of stock. The
fire originated in the hay shed, which stood
near the P1ttsburg and Lake Erie track, and
is supposed to have started from sparks
from passing locomotive. Owing to the
combustible nature of the stock the fire
spread rapidly.
Five loaded freight cars standing on sid
ing were burned before the yard engine
could remove them. 1t was impossible to
save anything of any value. The loss to the
firm will be from 100000 to 10000, and is
partly covered by insurance. The plant
has been running day and night, and 250
men will be thrown out of employment.
Superintendent w. r. McCloy said that the
firm will probably rebuild at once. The
Braddock Glass Company has been in sue
cessful operation here for the past four
years, and about year ago added some ex-
tensve improvements to their works.

A NEW RAILROAD CONVENIENCE

That Will Coal and Water Locomotives, as

JoHNsTowN, March 25.-[Special. Sam
uel Critchfeld, of this place, is the in.
ventor of new method Of coaling engines,
as we'll as of taking on and discharging pas
sengers. By his plan an elevated track will
be built alongside of the railroad, upon
which a car will be started upon the ap-
proach of train, attaining a speed equal
to that of the train ITSELF Then hopper
of coal can be dumped into the engine, and,
in taking on or off passengers, an inclosed
platform will be thrown out, allowing the
people to get on or off the train while going
at any rate of speed.
The invention also covers an elevated
trough for taking water. Several promi-
nent railroad men, who have examined it,
say it will certainly work.

ANOTHER HONEST THIEF.
The Trusted Agent of Railroad and Express
Companies Found Crooked.

Companies Found Crooked.
FINDLAY, March 25.-[SpeciaL 1.-The village
of Mt. Cory is all torn up over the disap-
pearance of j. F. Hummei. railroad and ex-
press agent, who left on Saturday, taking
with him large sum of money belonging to
his employers. Hummel was looked upon
as one of the leading citizens. He was the
local agent of the United States Express
Company and station agent Of the Lake Erie
and Western Railway Company.
After Hummefs departure, III. w. WILL
Jams, route agent of the express company,
began a quiet Investigation. shortage of
large-siZed proportions was soon discovered.
1t was found that Hummel, in addition to
pocketing the collections of the office, had
issued a number OF express money orders
without accounting for them. He had also
made out q number of these orders in the
name of fictitious persons and had them
cashed at Lima. Findlay, Fostoria and other
points. In addition to those which have
been traced to him, it is known that he took
a book of the orders with him, and it is
reared he has issued and cashed numbers of
them. 1t Is said the express company will
lose not less than $500 through the pecula-
tions of its trusted agent. The amount that
the railroad will lose is not known. 1t will
probably aggregate as much as tho express
company's loss. Last night Route Agent
Williams passed through here with war
rant for the arrest OF Hummel 1t Is ru-
mored that Hummel Is in hiding in the
neighborhood of Lima, but those best in
formed are inclined to the belief that he has
gone much farther.
