DEATH OF REV. ]. q. CLAY.

Rev. John Henry Clay, pastor of Bethel
Congregation of the African Methodist

nearly forty-two years. His early life was
spent in Knoxville, Tenn, and later he
lived in Georgia. He came to Indiana
for the most part, since lived In
this city. His family consists of q wife and
son. His religious temperament was devel-
oped early in life and showed the charac-
terist1c fervor of oratory in his discources.
He has been pastor of Bethel Church for
four years His passionate was marked by
the most successful era in the history of
the church. He found q heavy debt upon
the congregation n set to work to clear
the debt of. His success has made him
known as the debt payer. The finances of
the church were invested with systematic
methods and resulted in the liquidation of
81. 600 of the mortgage and $500 of the cur
rent debt.
HIS last hours were marked with q Chris

SENATOR McDoNALD's WILL.
The Threatened Suit to Contest It Has Not
Been Setued-His Law Partner Talks

The announcement by several local
papers that the threatened suit to set aside
ex-senator McDonald's will seems to have
been untrue. A Journal reporter waA in
formed yesterday in explicit terms by one
law firm that the 'compromise Is still
pending" Mr.. Mcdonald. of Cropsey d
Mcdonald. Q relative of the late Senator,
was interviewed by the reporter and In.
formed as to what he had heard. Mr.. Nc
Donald replied:
I'VE have nothing to say, being attorneys
in the case. and, of course. being aware of
the SITUATION. We know of no compromise.
When the time zones we will give You such
information as you want. and will not DO
chary about it."
From this it can only be inferred hat
the threatened resistance to the terms of
the will have q basis in fact. In this con-
nectlon the Journals Washingto CORE
spondent quotes one OF the deceased's law
partners in that city as follows:
Il am sorry the suit is to be brought. In
fiuence has been exerted TO- prevent 1t but
Donald will win. 1t is idle to say that the
ex-senator was unduiy influenced in max
ing his will HE Judgment was perfectly
sound and he was entirely capable of dis
posing of his estate and did so IN accord
ance with his oft-expresso intentions.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcdonald lived happily
together. Mr.. McDonalds second marriage
was, however, dlstasteful to his son. He
owed much of his inancia success in late
years to the frugal habits and good advice
and assistance Of Mrs. Mcdonald"

IRON BEAM POOL.
Report that 1t Has Been Broken by the Com
petition Of the Premier Mill.

A telegram was received from New York
last night stating that the great lron-beam
pool. com~prisingmost of the powerful iron
beam firms in the country. has collapsed,
owing TO internal differences and outside
competition. This combination was
formed two years z M originally in
cIudsd the Passaic R~olling-mill Company.
Of Paterson; the New Jersey Steel and Iron
Company of Trenton; A. P. Roberts & Co.,
OF Pencryd. Pa; the Phoenix Iron Com
paDy. OF Ph9nixville. Pa, and Carnegie,
Phipps q Co. Of P~ittsburg. Later, six
other firms were taken into the combine
tion. among them the Illinois Steel Com
pany, of Chicago. The telegram goes on 10
say that the pool raised the price of iron
beams from IS cents per pound to 81 cents.
It also says that. because of competition
from Western companies outside the pool.
particularly the Premier steel-works, of
this city. the rate has been greatly decreased.
Maj. w. II. Coen, manage of the Premier
Steel Company, was seen last night In
regard to the matter. He said: This COM
bination OF beam manufacturers has been
in existence for eighteen years. and was or
ganized for the purpose of regulating prices
and preventing newly started companies
from coming into the market and under
selling the older. Weather and more ex-
perlenced makers. Concerns that had been
in the iron business and changed over to
making steel / beams were often able to
pat o beam on the market inferior to those
made BY the old concerns. that had hum
dreds of thousands of dollars invested in
the business. Tho Premier steel-works
never entered the pool, although we
have always sold at pool prices. We
never wanted to feel that our
hands were tied and that we were
compelled to sell at prices dictated to rs by
the combination. Carnegie. Phipps IL Co..
of Pittsburg. have the largest works IN the
country and they about run the pool. The
only concerns in the West are the Illinois
Steel Company, of Chicago and Joliet. and
the Premier of this city,
Dir. Coen denied the report contained in
the latter part of the telegram to the effect
that the Illinois company lat called q
meeting Of the pool last week for the pur-
pose of reducing the prices to %
cents, IN order to compete with the Premier
company. They didn't have to do that. for
we have lived up to pool prices all along.
Nor do / think that they would attempt TO
LEVER their prices TO undersell rs. for we
we can afford to drop with them Our
business has been excellent the past year..
add TOR the amount invested, and our ca
paeity to meet the demand. we can show
mp with any mill IN the pool.p

At thirteen minutes after 9 o'clock yester-

street. As usual when this madly-driven

aside to escape being struck by the patrol.
and was caught by o stockyards car. which
knocked off a wheel. In this case the car
driver was not to blame. As nine out of
every ten calls for the patrol-wagon are to
convey weary trunks to the station-house,
the dangerous speed INDUCED IN by the
drivers OF this vehicle appears to be wholly
unnecessary.

BRIDGE NOT ACCEPTABLE.


The County Commissioners. yesterday,
visited the Fall-creek bridge &C the Michi-
gan road. which was supposed to be about
ready for acceptance. 1t was. however.
found that thef form of the fancy overhead
work at the entrance of the bridge left
only thirteen feet between it and the floor.
This would be low for loaded hay wagons
under any circumstances, and the electric
trolley wire would add another element of
danger. The board decided to require q
change by q su bstitution of diagonal braces
for the convex-bar dropping from the sides
of the bridge. This would put the trolley
four feet higher. wholly out of the way of
wagons. The change will delay the COM
pletion of the bridge and the connection of
the trolley line two weeks. The bridge

LIKE COUNTRY ROADS.

Why the Asphalt Streets Are Full Of Mud
Neglect Of the Board of Public Shirks.
The Board of Public Shirks should be
called to account for allowing the asphalt
streets to get in such a horrible condition.
While the snow was yet on the ground, the
board wrote q letter to the Indianapolis
Sweeping Company directing 1t to flush
the streets as soon as the thaw came. The
order was not obeyed. and the board took
no further action in the matter. The thaw
came and melted the snow on all
of the downtown streets, where it
was piled up six inches deep. The result
was to leave q mixture of mud and slush
that is something awful to contemplate.
If all the streets had been flushed as soon
as the thaw came, as the street-sweepIng
notifications contemplate, the downtown
tho~roughfares would not now resemble
country roads. Pat Harold made one
feeble attempt to clean Washington
street, but be left it in worse condition
than he founG 1t.
