WOULDN'T DISCHARGE HIM
Application for Dismissal Came Too la,e-
The Petitioner Behind Time.
should Have Taken steps 10 That
End within n Period OF One Year
Not Now Bankrupt.

Judge John A. Marshall. In the fed
eral court today, denied the petition
Of Ebenezer Farnes, who applied for
discharge from bankruptcy. Mr.. Farnes
was declared bankrupt a little more
than a year ago but had failed to file
his application for discharge within the
statutory period Of twelve months.
This action OF the court leaves Mr.
Farnes precisely where he was before
filing his petition for bankruptcy--that
lie. he has not and win not receive any
OF the benefits arising from the law.
His only remedy now will be to 90
through the entire proceedings again.
Whether he VIII do this, remains TO be
seen. Inquiry ELECTED the fact that he
would have been discharged without
doubt, but for the omission to file the Pc
titlon within the period prescribed by
law as stated.
Chas. Lang. who yesterday filed
petition In bankruptcy had hearing
before Judge Marshall today. He was
declared bankrupt and his case wac
referred 70 Referee Baldwin.

The much talked Of matter concern
ing the transfer of the entire stock Of
the Bellaire steel plant into the pos
session of the National Steel Company,
Of Chicago, Ills, was closed yesterday
with the stockholders, except a small
minority. Vice President A. B. Car
ter, of the Bellaire Steel Company,
finally settled the transfer by notifying
all. the parties chose stock had been
sold to the National Steel Company,
that on presentation of their receipts
to the proper banks they would
be given the amounts of money due
them, as derived from the sale of their
respective shares of the stock, and also
in addition, a dividend to each of the
various stockholders.
AS has been mentioned in the Reg
lister, about $750,000 worth Of capital
stock was involved in the sale of the
Bellaire Steel Works, which selling at
$266. &C 2-3 per share of 500, aside from
what was given in lieu Of earnings,
really made the stock sell for $3.50 1t
per share. The amount of money
involved in the sale of the stock was
about $2,175,000, but only two-thirds
of this amount, which is equal to
about $1,45O,OOO was received yester-
day by the Bellaire stockholders, on &C
count of the fact that about one-third
of the amount, which is equal to about
$3.50, 900, was taken in stock in the Ma
tional Steel Company by the STOCKHOLM
ers Each stakeholder received, in
addition to 1920 1-6 for each share Of
his respective amount of the stock, a
dividend of 4 per cent, which was
granted them in January out of the
earnings of the last six months of the
year 1898.
Nearly all the stockholders in the
Bellaire Steel Works took stock in the
National Steel Company. Wheeling,
Bellaire, Cleveland and other points
are represented in the Bellaire steel
Company, and it is said that the
largest stakeholder is man hailing
from Cleveland. The large amount of

deposited in the banks at Wheeling,

The employees of the steel depart

matters concerning a request for an
advance in wages. A new scale gov
erning the mems wages was completed
and was taken charge of by COM
mittee of the steel workers. who, some
time after the close of the meeting,
notified President Hubbard of the
mems desire for an increase, granting
the company at the same time thirty
days time in which to consider the
matter. President Hubbard promised
the committee that he would confer
with the men at a later time.
The new scale formed by the men
calls for a restoration of WAGES from
the last reduction in 1897, ana means
an increase of over II per cent. in
wages on an average.

and the city Solicitor, with MI. CHM
added for the sake Of explanations to
the company, was appointed to see the

night.
The Health Officer. during the course
of the meeting, took occasion to ex-
plain that if the city did not make
some such arrangement as was pro-
posed, there must be additions to the
existing furnace at large cost, as the
present capacity was far too small for
the purposes of the city, and he enter
ed into details upon that point.
The existing furnace costs, approx
imately, $4,000 per annum, including
wages and repairs, and is VIGOROUSLY
incompetent, as well as in bad re-
pair.
During the meeting the question OF
permanent repairs to the road to the
crematory was incidentlly discussed,
and this matter will be brought before
Council, for about the tenth time in the
last five years.
