CARNEGIE, THE IRON KING,
Adds Another Foreign Seat to His List Of
Homes-Has Four Now.

AUub StSi w Alb h4A9t -
Homes-Has Four Now.
WASHINGTON, April 12-Andrew Car
negie, the great iron millionaire of
Pennsylvania, who has a residence in
New York next door to the twin Wander
bilt mansions, fine house in Pittsburg
and castle in Scotland, has also another
residence abroad. which he will occupy
this summer. He says that it is an old
English mansion with modern improve
ments, which he can reach by thirty
seven minutes ride from London on the
cars and a fve-mile drive through a
dense forest of the queen, through
which he has acquired the permission of
passage and a private gate of entrance.
His Scotch castle is in the hands of
plumbers for repairs that will take all
summer, but he will leave for his Lon
don country house on Wednesday.
Mr.. Carnegie said in reference to the
iron business: There is great over
production of iron. The making of pig
iron has developed faster than the de-
mand for it for use in the country. The
result is large stocks on hand and low
prices We have trebled our production
of TIN iron in ten years-that is to say,
it has increased from $500, 900 tons per
annum to 9,6OO,000 tons for last year
This is greater increase than in any
other staple product of the United
States. 1t puts us ahead of Great
Britain as an iron producing nation,
There must he check on production or
there will ba such an over-supply Of pig
iron that prices will go lower yet"
In answer to a question about the
effect of the new southern iron fields on
the market and creating ver-produc-
ton, Mr.. Carnegie said, with laugh:
"Why, our works alone make nearly as
much iron as they produce in these new
iron regions. l refer, of course, to the
Alabama and Tennessee iTOn-making
centers. Virginia has produced iron for
very long time and has not been gen.
orally counted as a part of the southern
n-making region proper. The in
creased production has been almost all
in the long-established iron-making
cpptars -

BRUTAL. ROBBERS
Horribly Torture Two Old People who
Refuse to Give Up Their Gold.

Horribly Torture Two Old People Who
Refuse to Give Up Their Gold.
HoILIDAYsBuRG, Pa, April 12.-Two
high-handed outrages, unparalleled in
the crime annals of this community,
were perpetrated here Saturday night.
Three masked burglars entered the
house of John DAILY, an old soldier, to
steal his pension money. They bound
the feet and hands of the old man, tied
him to chair, and when he refused to
tell them the whereabouts of his wealth,
they tortured him by slowly stabbing
him in the neck with a knife and hold
ing a lighted lamp under his ear, burn
ing that organ by inches, and the pain
almost killed the old man. He would
not tell them where the money was.
They ransacked the house, chopping
the floor open with hatchet and tore
the plaster off the walls to find Days
treasury. They were unable to discover
any booty, and departed, first knocking
DAILY senseless with blow from re-
volver.
They next went to the home of Miss
Olivia Mcdowell, an aged spinster,
bound her in a blanket, gagged her and
tied her to bedpost. They only fourd
sc in the house, and, disappointed, they
also tortured the old woman to make
her tell where she kept her money. 4
penknife was jabbed into her skull
several times, and her left eye is closed
by a blow from the butt end of re-
volver. II is feared that she is perma-
nently injured. There is no clew to the
robbers.
The people are loud in their denuncis-
ton of the police force. and they will
demand better protection.

broke into cars, stealing quantity of
ladies' shoes. The police then captured
three more of the gang, but only after
some shooting, in which one of the rob
bers was shot. The others were chased
for distance by officers on locomo-
tive, but they took to the woods and
escaped. The gang were equipped with
burglars tools, and were undoubtedly
professionals.

state, calling upon him to order out de-
tachment of the state militia to quell q
riot at Vale. Tuesday last the Baker
brothers laid in wait for William Hum
bert, and without warning riddled him
with bullets. The murder was the re-
suit of a quarrel between the men over
the Democratic primaries. The Bakers
were landed safely in Jail, but the citi-
zens of Vale and the surrounding coun-
try are gathering in large numbers. and
a lynching party is quite probable. Gov
ernor Pennoyer has ordered the militia

OIL Operations.
PlTrsBUBG, April IA number Of
the leading oil producers in the south
west are taking action looking to gen.
eral suspension of the drilling operations
for period of six months from about
May 1. Many of the largest operating
individuals firms and companies with
headquarters in Birley have already
signed the agreement, which is 80 drawn
that it must be signed by all producing
companies or it is to be null and void.
The idea meets with general favor
among the operators, who bind them
selves to build no rigs nor start any
wells to drilling before the 10Th of Oc-
tober except under specified circum-
stances. The idea is to curtail produc-
ton and, in the natural course Of things,
to raise prices.

day, causing an immense amount of
damage, and, it is feared, a great loss of
life. So far as known sixteen people are
drowned. Sunday morning the river
was two feet higher than ever known.
During the day the water receded
somewhat, but the danger is not yet

badly enough, it showed horrible con-

nearly three feet higher than ever be-

feared the list will grow enormously
when the wide territory can all be heard
from. In one case colored family of
nine people and pig were rescued, bit
the pig jumped out of the boat The

A Nut for Mckinley to Crack.

Mr.. Mckinley made his notorious old
tariff speech over again at the Mime
apolis convention. He is still pretending
that the foreigner pays the tariff taxes
and that protection simply taxes ''the
products of other nations" instead of the
products of our own. Mr.. Mckinley,
however, has never answered the ques-
ton put to him by The World over and
over again: Why is it if the foreigners
pay the tariff taxes that the Fifty-frst
congress was content with spending a
billion dollars? Why did it not lavish
more of the foreigners money on the
people of this country? Why did it not
wiring a more splendid sum out of the
manufacturers and merchants of Europe
for the payment of the governments ex-
penses and the Republican party's ex-
travagance? How can Mr.. Mckinley ex-
cuse this self res traint, which still leaves
some Of the public burdens to be borne
by Americans? VIII he not answer the
question now that he has repeated the
proposition: Moreover, he might tell the
country why he even refrained from
raising enoughto make up the deficiency
caused by the extravaganza of the con-
gress in which he was the leader on the
floor of the house of representatives.
