fell down flight of stairs in Fourth ave-
nue. saloon. The policeman took him to
the Central hotel. The proprietor refused
to take him in and the patrol wagon was
called. At the police station the young
man shrieked and raved, and, fearing he
would injure himself, he was placed in
padded cell. A friend stated that Senator
Proctor sent the young man away from
Washington, thinking he would reform.
Coming to Pittsburg he secured position
with the Westinghouse company, but lost
it. Until two weeks ago he was employed
by IL. c. Prick Of the Carnegie steel com
oany. When taken to the police station

New Steel Pool.

The new steel pool is probably prelim-
mary step towards trust with 5000, OOO,-
900 capital. International arrangements
may increase it to $500,000,000 capital.
Pig iron production, 1896, is running at
rate of 100000 tons per annum against
production of 9,346, 900 tons in 1895. The
total mineral production of United States
in 1895 is estimated about 500, 100000,
against $568, 206, 800 in 1894. The Amer
lean Strawboard company output in 1896
will equal 100, 900 tons. The 4O31 failures
the past three months aggregated $57, 425,-
1876 liabilities, against $47 ,813, 1888 last
year. 1t is quite possible the speculation
growing out of the government syndicate
operation in 1895, and war agitation by
government caused one-third of the failure
record.

Electric Ritters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed in the spring, when the
languid exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish
and the need of tonic and Alternative
is felt. A prompt use of this medicine
has often averted long and perhaps
fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will
act more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, indigestion, con-
stipation, dizziness yield to Electric
Bltters. Only so cents per bottle at
Pierce's Pharmacy.
