A SAD MISHAP.
A Centreville Girl Near Bellaire,
Seriously Injured by Accidental
Discharge of a Gun in a Hunters
Hand.

Quite a deplorable accident occurred
at Centreville, several miles from
Bellaire, Friday afternoon, by which
Mrs Elnora Brown, wife of A. A.
Brown, of West Quincy, Mass, sus-
tanned injuries which will in all prob
ability render her a cripple for life.
Mrs. Brown, who is visiting her faith

along a boardwalk in front of two
men who were just returning from a
hunting expedition with their rifles,
when one of the men suddenly tripped

ing the gun, the contents of which
struck Mrs. Brown on the knees,
frightfully decorating the flesh and
penetrating the joints. Mrs. Brown
was Immediately removed to the home

Plant Resumes After Several
Months Idleness-The La Belle
Also Working Full.
There is more of an appearance of
prosperity at Benwood at the present
than there has been for many months.
This week will find its two industries,
one Of which is the largest in the Ohio
Valley, between Pittsburg and Gin
cinnati, busy and working in all de-
partments. The big Riverside plant is
working full and there is every pros
pect that the present busy period will
not slacken for some time. With the
exception Of the new bell weld furnace,
which has not yet been put in opera
ton, the entire tube department is
working, including two lap-weld, two
butt-weld and two bell-weld furnaces.
Big shipments Of pipe are made every
day. The plate department is equally
busy. Every mill in this branch is
working except the one in which is
being placed new engine. The blast
furnace and the steel works are also
on. The men in the new foundry are
also working. Besides these the COM
pany is preparing to make additions
to their big plant and it will not be
long until the coke ovens are completed.
Work on this new department is pro-
crossing rapidly, the east wall being
almost finished.
The Riverside plant has been running
steadily since the employees returned
to work after the strike, which was
about the middle Of April. The men
accepted the reduction and returned
to work with the assurance that the
reduction would be taken away just as
soon as the condition of business would
permit.
While Their has been no move
made in this direction the probability
is that a demand will be made Of the
company before long for reinstate-
ment of their wages previous to last
April. The men have been keeping
their eyes open for the reports of the
markts and have noticed that the prices
of pipe, iron and steel are up.
The men in the tube works are
strongly of the opinion that a rein
statement Of wages is due them, as
the National tube works at McKees-
port raised the wages of their employees
ten per cent. the first of September.
The Wheeling Steel and Iron Com
pany's works in lower Benwood, will
also be working full this week. The
miners were granted the scale price
and returned to work Thursday and the
puddlers started Friday after being idle
for a number of months. The pud-
dlers, plate mill and steel workers will
all be working tomorrow. The pud-
dlers will have a meeting at the Ben
wood city hall this afternoon at two
o'clock to finish the business which they
had under consideration at their last
meeting.
The big steel plant at Bellaire re-
sumed yesterday after being closed
down since the first of July. During
this time it was greatly remodeled
and is now one of the best equipped
steel plants in the country.
The La Belle mill has been very busy
all last week, including the nail fac
tory. The foundation for the new
tin mill is about finished and work on
the structural part of the mill will
be started this week.

ARE ALL READY TO GO IN
The Next Step In the Direction of a
Wire, Nail and Rod Trust Is to
ASSESS the VcriOus Properties.

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 4-The proposed
immense combination of wire, nail and
steel rod interests, overshadowing anything
OF the kind ever before planned, has ad-
vanced to the point where the concerns in
terested have decided to go in and all that
remains to be done is to reach an agree
ment on the value of the different mills.
Daily conferences are being held in New
York, and Cleveland manufacturers are in
constant communication with the seat of
activity. The Cleveland concerns interested
are the American Wire Works, the H. T.
Nail Co., the Consolidated Wire and Steel
company the Cleveland Rolling Mill COM
pany and probably the Johnson company
The PittSburg interests are the Parkin
Works, the Beaver Falls Works, the Pitts
burg Wire company and the oliver Snyder
company. The last named carries with It
the Oliver interests in the immense Car
negie acquisitions. Besides rod and wire
mills, the new combination includes steel
mills, blast furnaces and mines. Mines are
owned by the Cleveland Rolling Mill COM
pany and by the Oliver and Carnegie in
terests. 1t is the plan that all the interests
involved lose their identity and go out of
business and that there be simply the one
great company. The statement Is made
that John w. Gates, the originator of the
scheme, will not be the general manager,
as was at first suggested, but that this
office will be occupied by w. P. Snyder,
of Pttsburg. The further statement is
made by Cleveland iron men who are in
terested, that the control Of the big COM
pany will rest In the hands of J. Pierpont
Morgan and his associates, they having ar
ranged to obtain that control by purchase.
