Belvidere, n. j., November 25.-On

TO BUILD A STEEL PLANT.

Carnegie Inspects Location at Erie, Pa.
Erie, Pa, November 25.-Andrew Car
negie, accompanied by his private sec
retary, arrived in this city to-day with
the oStensible intention of inspecting
the facilities afforded here for the loca
ton of a steel plant. The strip of land
on the north shore of Presque Isle Bay,
known as the peninsula, from three
quarters to one mile wide, and about
six miles in length, has of late aroused
the attention of manufacturers as being
in every way adapted as a site for iron
making on account of dockage facilities,
which would be provided at little ex-
pense, and which would be readily ac-
cessible by rail. Within a few weeks a
movement has been set on foot to have
this peninsula ceded TO the city by the
State, in which the title is now vested.
Mr. Carnegie. after a careful investiga-
tion of the site, expressed himself as
highly pleased with the location.

WARNE
A Mob Promised to Come to Able
vile last Night and Lynch a Couple
of Negro Murderers.

Abbevile, S. c., November 25.-
Notice has been received here that a
mob will come to town before morning
and attack the jail for the purpose of
lynching two prisoners, John Mitchell
and Richard Wash, both colored, who
are under arrest for the murder of
Norissa Bagwell, a white woman,
twenty-eight years old. The circum-
stances indicate that the woman may
have been outraged. She was killed
Thursday evening on the public high
way near her home, fifteen miles from
here, and her body was taken to a de-
serted house and burned. The charred
remains were found. Wash says that
he was with Miss Bagwell at o'clock
Friday morning, and asserts that she
cut her throat with a razor, and that
before doing so she requested him to
burn her body in the house. The story
is improbable, and it is thought the
murder was TO secure the proceeds Of
bale of cotton, which Miss Bagwe1
had.
The jail is being guarded tonight.

A Brooklyn Man Kills His Two Children
and Himself in a Gymnasium.
New York, November 25.-Herman
Hattenhaft. a physical instructor, killed
his two children and himself in Brook
lyn yesterday. He lived on Greene
avenue with his wife and two children,
the latter very young.
Hattenhaft went out in the afternoon,
taking the children with him. When
he had not returned at midnight, his
wife started out TO look for the three.
The doors of the gymnasium, where
Hattenhaft was employed, were faund
locked and were battered in by the po-
lice. They found father and children
lying dead. The children had been
shot and killed by their father, who
then shot himself. The bodies were
cold, and the presumption is that the
triple tragedy occurred during the af-
ternOon.
The bodies of the two children were
found in a closet used for vapOr baths.
into which a tube connecting the gas
pipe was inserted. The children had
died of asphyXiation.
The wife and mother is so prostrated
with grief that it is feared she cannot
recover. At intervals between fainting
spells. Mrs Hattenhaft said that there
had been no domestic difficulties be-
tween herself and her husband, and
that she thought ne must have become
temporarily deranged over business
troubles, of which she had, heard him
speak on several occasions.
