MAKERS OF RODS AND NAILS
GET THE TRUST IN WORKING
ORDER
Only Five Concerns In the United
States Are Left Out Of the
Combination

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE plan for
combination OF the steel wire rod and nail
manufacturers. which has been under cof,-
sideration for the past six months, WA
practically consummated at a meeting held
In the waldorf-Astoria hotel In this city
today. The combination will represent
about $5o.ooo,ooo in capital. Tho name se'
lected for the combination is THE Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Company"
The largest steel and wire rod companies
In the country. to the number Of hfteen
will be In the combination. Only hve con.
Germs engaged in the manufacture OF steel
wire rod and nails throughout the entire
United States are not In the combination.
Although Judge E. H. Gary Of Chicago.
who Is the leading man In the consolidation
thus far, would not consent to mention the
name Of the obdurate concerns after the
meeting. however, he said that they arc
located in Oregon, Illinois, Ohio. Pennsyi-
vania and New York. There will be In all
about 2O.000 men employed by the new con-
cern but as the export trade OF steel wire
rod and nails is expected to be largely In
creased through the combination 1t y like
ly that the number OF wofkmen will also
be increased very materially In the neat
future. The headquarters will be located
either In New York or Chicago.
The final meeting OF the projectors Of the
combination will be held on April LIST. At
that time ofiicers will be selected.
George T. Oliver of Pittsburg y named a.
the leading candidate for the ONCE Of press
ident.
j. p. Morgan g. Co. Of this city, Judge
Gary stated, would be underwriters for d
considerable block of the capital stock.
The concern, 1t is said, Will produce about
10000 tons of wire annually from the be-
ginning. 1t Will operate its own mines,
which are located principally In ths west
and owned by several Of the companies Of
the combine.

|ment published that Spain nad purcneeeo
or 'Was nevotiatin6 for wArshtps being
ships under construction. With . View
of obtaining the facts your correspondent
called upon high official OF the adrninis-
tration and obtained an Official admission
made for the nrst time-that while the
president does not anticipate war he rec
ugnixcs that there II y possibility OF hos
tilities growing out Of the Cuban question
and the Maine disaster and that ne pro-
poseB to be prepared for 1t.
There has been ample evidences OF this In
the preparations patent to everybody,
which have been In progress Tor some
time but there has been no official adj
mission to this effect until now.
Eight men of war which are practically
completed In foreign shipyards, have been
offered for sale In the United States. The
president has given consideration to the
advisability of placing an option on them.
The navy department has been carefully
watching the construction abroad through
the eyes Of its naval attaches at London,
Paris, st. Petersburg, Berlin. Vienna and
Rome. This surveillance has been main
tained for two months. but more especially
since the Maine disaster.
Through the attaches and from the ship
builders themselves the secretary Of the
navy has learned that he can now purchase
two small-slxed battlesfips, two armored
cruisers and four torpedo boats, all at a
comparatively low price. The builders
have promised that they can deliver the
vessels to agents of this government
complete In every respect and all that
will be necessary for the administration
to DO will be to order the necessary details
Of officers and men to proceed to the ship
yard, go on board the vessels and take
them to any point which may be desired.
The builders have urged that the purchases
be made at once as they say that a declara-
tion of war between the United States and
Spain would result In the enforcement OF
neutrality measures and prevent the sale
of the ships.
The battleships and armored cruisers
have been built by English and German
firms for governments which are now un'
able to pay for them, also that this gov
ernment would be able to obtain the yes.
sells by simply putting down the amount OF
cash.
The four torpedo boats have been offered
by the Thorncroft Ship Building com.
pany. whose boats are recognized by ex-
perts to be among the best in the world
While your correspondent was unable to
learn the names of the ships which have
been offered to this government, there is
reason to believe that among them are
three powerful ships under construction
at the Vulcan works. Stettin, Germany
for the Chinese government. These three
ships are of 5000 tons displacement, con-
traeted to make 1876 knots and will be able
to carry not less than a thousand tons oi
coal In their bunkers. There Is also reason
to believe that In case of trouble this gov.
ernment could purchase from japan the
Kasagi and the Chiosa, which are neal
completion at Philadelphia and the Unior
iron works. The official with whom your
correspondent talked had no doubt that
Japan would be willing to aid the United
States by selling the warships before the
commencement Of war.

The "Coffee-Never-H -Hurt-Me" People

Some famous brain workers have made
a welcome discovery along the line of re-
covery of health by the proper selection Of
food. Several were of the "Coffee-never-
hurt-me" kind, but, as N experiment, tried
leaving 1t off ten days, and the use of Pos
tum Cereal Food Coffee in its place. A
definite and decided improvement in health
is practically certain to attend such a
change.
Look carefully into the state of health
of the individual who knows that "coffee
don't hurt me-" and you are almost sure
to find some form of physical all or func-
tional neutrality-suspicious. muddy COM
plexion, or weak eyes. incipient heart fail
ure, kidney trouble, liver or bowel disor-
ders, or some form of weakness that shows
plainly enough by the cry for relief sent
up from some organ Of the body.
Why does the dismissal of Coffee and
the use of Postum bring help? Experiments
in artificial indigestion show clearly to the
scientific investigator that Coffee arrests
digestion, and according to one authority
allows only 81 per cent of the food to be
digested. That strikes at the very key
stone to the arch of health. Failure in di-
gestion means lack of good blood and
therefore a lack of food for the nerve CEN
ters. AS the nerves control the organs
of the entire body, one can readily under
stand that disorganiZed nervous system
may show effect in any part of the body

THE FLANNEtLY MURDER
The People Prove That the Defendant
Owned q Pistol

SAN JOSE, Cal, March 4.-When
Thomas Flannelley's trial was resumed
this morning the jurors asked that the
Court Stenographer read the testimony
Of Mrs. Patrick Flannelley, which was
given last afternoon. The poor old woman
was SO weak and grief-stricken she
could speak but little above q whisper.
This reading occupied some time and
the only witness put on this morning
was Dan Doyle, the partner Of the de-
fendant In the dairy ranch. Doyle said
that Flannelley told him on October ~
his father had notified him they must
pay more rent. October 26, in the even
ing, just before the killing, Doyle said
Constable served notice on them to
vacate the ranch. He did not remember
anything he said to the Constable ex-
cept that he invited him in to have tea.
SO far. of course, all the testimony Of
fered is for the People. In this, how
ever, the defense brought out that Pa
trick Flannelley had owned pistol and
was in the habit of keeping It Under the
head of his bed. This little comfort is
all they have had.
In the afternoon the examination of
Doyle was resumed. He testified that
Flanhelly told him he had a pistol be-
fore he left the ranch to go to see his
father, and that the defendant, while
angry with the constable for serving the
papers, showed no ill-feeling toward his
father.
DR.. James Crow, coroner of San Ma:
teo county, was the next witness. He
arrived at Flannelly, sr.'s. house fifteen
or twenty minutes after the shooting.
and found the old man lying dead across
the middle of the bed, with his feet on
or near the floor. Witness also said he
found pistol under the top Of the mat
tress with all the chambers loaded.
At o'clock the trial was adjourned
until Monday.

MUCH DAMAGED By WRONGFUL
PROSECUTION
Carpenter of Stockton Brings Suit
Against EVERYBODY Concerned in
His Larceny Case

STOCKTON, CAL, March "A. II. Car
penter, one Of the attorneys accused Of
grand larceny, brought suit for damages
today against District Attorney Nutter,
who prosecuted him; Justice of the Pence
Parker, who held him to answer on two
charges of grand larceny; J. w. Weinberg
and Louis Sapire, who swore to the COM
plaint, and b. F. Langfor and w. II. De-
vries. Mr.. Nutter's bondsmen. The action
Is against the bondsmen for $500, the
amount Of tehir liability, and against the
| rest for 45,7OO OF this amount Mr.. Car
penter thinks he is entitled to $500 for
counsel fees in the grand larceny cases,
$500 for loss of time, etc, and the rest "on
account of mental suffering and injuries
sustained in his business and social rela-
tions, and his good name and reputation,
and his future and continued suffering and
injuries by reason of the wrongful acts
of the defendants"
The complaint declares, first, that the
district attorney, Justice Parker and
Weinberg & Sapiro did, for the purpose
of injuring plaintiff In his social and busi-
ness relations, and of exposing him to pub
lie hatred and contempt, wrongfully, un-
lawfully and maliciously conspire, COM
bine, confederate and agree together to
falsely charge and accuse plaintiff with the
crime OF grand larceny, felony" and Mr..
Nutter compelled him to give bail in the
sum Of $1,000; that, knowing there was no
case or ground or reason to believe crime
had been committed, he "wrongfully, cor
ruptly and maliciously and in violation of
his oath and duties as such district attor-
ney," prosecuted him; that he requested
the judge of the superior court to increase
the bail for the purpose of subjecting plain
tiff to the humiliation and shame of plead
ing to said charge and undergoing trial by
jury for said false and malicious charges.
He sets forth the fact that the proceedings
were published in the newspapers.
Mr.. Carpenter is his own attorney in the
case. The complaint bears the partnership
signature of Carpenter & Flack but the
last named says that he has nothing per-
sonally to do with the matter. The infor-
nation charging Carpenter with the crime
was set aside by Judge Budd in the supe-
rior court the first of the week.
