TIE Big IRON FAILURE.
Philadelphlans Greatly Excited
Over the Outlook.
PROMINENT MEN STOCKHOLDERS.

The Crisis was Caused by big Outlay
Completing the Sparrow Point Plant,
Followed by the Tightness of the
Money Market.
PHI ADGLPHIA, April 22.-The news
Of the appointment of receivers for the
Pennsylvania Steel company was a
great shock TO the business community,
although it cannot be said to have been
entirely unexpected. Among those en-
gagged in the iron and steel trade, it was
the one topic of conversation and the
opinion was very generally expressed
that the failure would have very de-
pressing effect upon the trade which had
just begun to recover from the illeffects
of the financial embarrassment of the
Pottstown Iron company, Coffrode q
Saylor incorporated, the Reading Roll
ing mills and other concerns with head
quarters in this city, which, within the
past few months, have gone to the wall.
The Girard Trust and Annuity COM
pany of this city, the trustee under the
mortgages, has been named as one Of
the receivers, and President Bent the
other.
The works at Steelton, Pa, covers 1S0
acres, and at Sparrow Point, Nd, 1000
acres and all told the corporation EN-.
ployed 5000 men.
The officers Of the company are Louis
Bent, president; Il. f. Barker, vice
president; T.. N. Smith, secretary and
treasurer; F. w. Wood. general man
ager. Wayne McVeagh is "a director.
The company was incorporated March
49,, 1866, with capital of $1,000, 900,
and up to the present time 81. 800, 900
had been paid in on par Of 500 a
share.
Major Bent. TIE president, when seen,
said that the appointment of receivers
was not the result of any want of profit
| able work at both Steelton and Sparrow
Point. 1t was simply caused by the
present unfortunate condition of the
| money market. The company had been
for sometime past large borrowers for
| the purpose of completing their Sparrow
Point works, and also for extensive
| alterations and improvements at Steel

in financial circles it became apparent
that many of their maturing obligations

Secretary McBrydc Says Ohio
Miners VIII Go Out.
LIKELY TO BE A GENERAL STRIKE.

He Thinks Il WIN Spread to PennsyI-
vauia and Illinois - The Tennessee
Trouble Cutting quite Figure in Min
ing Circles.
COLUMBUS, o., April 22.--National
Secretary p. A. McBryde of the United
Mine Workers confirms the report that
the 10000 miners in Ohio will go out
May l. J. l.. Harris, president of the
Ohio Mine Operators association made
the same assertion. McDryde thinks
the strike may spread to Pennsylvania
as well. Mr.. McBryde said
II go to Pittsburg next Monday to
look into the trouble. The miners of
Ohio will in all probability go out May
/, but / cannot say at present for
how long. This will be friendly strike,
because, il the operators In northern
Illinois say they will grant the advance
it will be all over with Ohio, and work
will be resumed with good feeling.
Illinois is in question just at present
from the fact that the market at Chica-
go is at variance with the product of
Illinois and Ohio. The operators say
they are not able to meet the advance
unless 1t is made general over the United
States, as they fear competition from
the other states Ohio operators have
been charging transient customers S2.75
per ton for coal and CORPORATIONS and
public institutions get it for $l.7j."
j. L. Harris, an extensive operator,
says: "The Hooking Valley operators
and mine official committee, consisting
of Messrs. Turney, Morton and r. II.
johnson and Thomas johnson will meet
in few days, but the outcome Of this
meeting | do not know. l know, how
ever, that there will be q strike, but of
short duration. This will be a general
movement among the miners of the
nation. Within a week the operators
and miners will get together privately
and may adjust the matter amicably,
but l doubt it.
The Tennessee trouble is cutting quite
a figure in the mining circles of the
United States from the fact of the con-
Wet labor. There has, up to the present
time, been 81, 100 given to the Tennessee
miners to aid them in the strike, and
Secretary McBryde says they will see
their treasury utterly diminished rather
than see the union men suffer.
There will hardly be a meeting of the
scale committees rs it seems entirely
fruitless. Both are stubborn, and on
May ] 10000 miners will 20 out on a
strike and stick for cents per ton ad-
vance on coal. There will be scarcely
any bitter feeling among tho parties
concerned. even though they are stand.
ing out for their rights. but if the Iii.
nois and Pennsylvania fields do not 90
out the probabilities are that there will
be protracted strike.

Won't Receive Max Judd,

VIENNA, April 22.-Count Kalnoky,
the Austrian premier, has given notice
to American Minister Grant that the
Austrian government will not grant
exequatur TO Mr.. Max Judd Of st. Louis,
appointed by President Cleveland con-
sui general for the United States at
Vienna. Count Kalnoky states that the
reason for refusing the exequatur is be-
cause Mr.. Judd is an Austrian by his
former allegiance, and is engaged in the
emigration business. Mr.. Grant stated
in reply that another consul general
would be appointed to the place, who
would be a Jew but not of former Aus
trian allegiance.
