TIN PLATE FACTORIES.
1sery Plant In the United States Closes

Every Plant in the United States Closes
Down for an indefinite Period.
flTTsBURG, Oct 1.-Saturday night
al " the tin plate plants in the country
closed down, and there is no indication
as 81 to when they will again be put in op-
GRAFTON. There is a wide. difference
between the manufacturers and work.
ers on the subject Of wages and the lat
Ter s insist that Notwithstanding the re-
duction in duty that the wages agreed
upon in June can be paid the balance
ct the scale year.
Two Important reasons are given for
the action taken by the Manufacturers
association. One is that the closing
Of the factories is being done to dis
courage prospective building of tin
plate plants. There are at least 10 in
course Of erection in the United States,
while manufacturers of tin plate ma
chinery are now enlarging their works.
Il was decided to put up some Of these
factories after it was known that the
cut in the duty would be one cent per
pound. Another reason given by the
manufacturers is that under Secretary
Carlisle's ruling 46,000,000 pounds Of
tin plates can be put on the market at
once by paying the new tariff of / is
cents per pound. This will fill all
demands for some time to come. On
the other hand the workmen assert that
the shutdown is merely a scheme of
the manufacturers to compel their en-
ployes to work for less wages.

AFTER FIFTY MILLS.
An English Syndicate Getting Control of
Wisconsin Paper Plants.

An English Syndicate Getting Control of
Wisconsin Paper Plants.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. Ia special to
The Wisconsin from Appleton, Wis,
says: The greatest syndicate deal since
the purchase of the American breweries
by English capitalists has just been
concluded, and unless something un-
foreseen occurs, all the paper and pulp
mills on Fox river will pass into the
hands Of an English syndicate on April
1. 1t is learned from parties interested
in the sale that every paper and pulp
maker on Fox river, with two e0cep-
tions, has signed contract giving op-
tions on all mills, machinery, water
rights, leases and other properties. The
option is good for six months from Oct.
L.. The two firms who have not yet
signed have agreed to do SO soon
The reason for the delay is to gain time
to complete schedules of the properties
which must be attached to the options
when given to the syndicate in London,
Fifty Mills in the Deal.
The properties involved in the deal
include 80 paper and 21 pulp mills, sit
uated at Neenah, Menasha, Appleton,
Kimberly, Little Chute, Kaukauna,
Combined Locks and De Pere, situated
along Fox river for distance of rs
miles. The value of these plants is es-
timated at $10,000,000 The daily prod
uct when run to the full capacity
amounts to 1900 miles of paper in
sheet inches wide and 300 tons of
pulp. The value Of the product is
about 81, 1000 daily. The terms of the
option are that the value of the plants
be reckoned on basis of actual cost of
mills and machinery and present value
of the water rights and leases and the
earning capacity of the mills as shown
by past business records. The pay
ment for the properties is to be half
cash and half in three-year notes, to be
secured by mortgages on the mills and
power.

VESTS OPINION
Hill Voted Against the Tariff
Bill on Account Of the
Income Tax.
THAT is HIS TRUMP CARD.
Thinks Hill Will Beat Morton
in the Race for the Gov
ernorship. ...

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. Ia special to The
Republic from .Sedalia, No., says:
United States Senator George E. Vest
arrived here during the day. Ques-
toned upon the political situation in
New York he predicted the election of
Hill, whom he considered a most re-
markable man. Continuing, he said:
II do not regard Hill as great man
or as the possessor of great intellect
but he is a great worker, without anH
appetites or passions. Hill voted against
the tariff bill on account Of the in
come taxes, not because he objected to
it's provisions as to tariff duties on sugar
or anything else. The income taxi he
irrevocably opposed for two reasons.
First, because he wanted to strengthen
himself with the business men of New
York who had
Always Been for Cleveland;
second, because he did not want to
drive from the Democratic party in
New York the men who make liberal
subscriptions for campaigns. Hill is
determined not to give up his hold in
New York whatever happens and he
played the opposition to the income tax
as his trump card. AS to Tammany,
that rules the party in New York, it is
governed by the sachems, who are
either rich men or expecting to be rich.
Of course the Tammany leaders are
against the income taxes and Hill knew
it. New York politics is strange
business and money is the principal
principal factor. Morton will be bled
until he will give no more and Hill will
have all the money he needs. I think
Hill will beat him.

To Use Electric Lines.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-Second AS
sistant Postmaster General Nelson
is giving great deal of at
tention to special mail service
in large cities. He has ordered pre-
pared maps of all large cities showing
the surface car lines with view of
having mail cars run over them. He
expects to give his attention especially
to carrying mail on electric cars which
run from the centers of cities to the
suburbs and to adjoining smaller towns.
Gable cars may be utilized where pos
sible, but Mr.. Nelson is of the opinion
that only on electric lines running long
distances will it be profitable to carry
the mails. 90.

TWO WRECKS.
Fiendish Attempt to Ditch a
Passenger Train on the
: -, s Wabash. ~.
.ENGINEERAND FIREMAN KILLED
Five Tramps Killed and Two
Injured on the Northwest
ern Road.

TOLEDO, O., Oct. 1.-Train No. 10 on
the Wabash road was wrecked at
Maumee, a small town 10 miles south
Of this city. The accident happened
shortly before a. m. and was the re-
suit of well laid plan to ditch the en-.
tire train. Happily the heavy Pullman
sleeper kept on the track and the mail
and baggage cars, although badly
wrecked, did not contain any victims.
F. N. Smith, engineer, Toledo, was
killed and A. II, Day. fireman, Toledo,
fatally injured.
Ih9 wreck was planned, by whoever
conceived the plot, to occur at the west
end of long siding just west Of Mau-
NEE. The road. at the lower part of the
switch target had been removed and
the switch was partly thrown. The
target indicated a clear track and En-
gineer Smith was probably not aware
OF the situation many minutes before
his motor was
Dumping Along ON the Ties.
AS soon as the train struck the switch
it leaped into the air, fell toward the
ditch and turned completely over. The
trucks Of the mail cars followed the
engine, but the cars themselves went in
an opposite direction. Under them
were found the dead body of Engineer
Smith and Fireman Day, the latter suf-
fering from fracture of the skull
which will prove fatal. At the time of
the accident the train was running at
the regular speed and it is considered a
miracle that more lives were not lost.
The postal cars were torn away from
the trucks and were lying side by side.
The express and baggage cars were lit
orally reduced to splinters, yet the occu-
pants escaped unhurt There were sew
eral passengers in the combination
smoker, which was wrecked beyond re-.
pair, yet not q scratch could be shown
by any Of them. The passengers in the
Pullman cars were. only made aware of
the accident by the severe jolting
which they experienced. The dead
engineer and dying fireman were both
new men on the line and are believed
to have come to the road from the
Lehigh during the recent A. R. u.
strike.
