QUICK WORK WITH MILLIONS.
How Two Men of Money Made a
.'Tightning Deal' OF Great Magnitude.

How Two Men Of Money Made a
Lightning Deal OF Great Magnitude.
John W. Gates told party Of friends
how he happened to get back into ac-
tive business after he had cleared up
a big fortune from the sale of his Fed
eral Steel and other interests and had
made up his mind to retire The story
was not told in boasting spirit, but
the recital was nevertheless one OF live
| interest as illustrating the whirwind
methods employed in organizing a gil
gantic enterprise and getting it under
way.
Mr.. Gates and Col Elwood had rea-
liked punch of millions" out of Fed
eral Steel, and the former had laid his
plans for a trip around the world with
his wife, having gone so far as to in
vite a party of frends to accompany
them and fix the date of departure. One
| day while sitting in his office in Chicago
chatting with Col Elwood he was called
| up on the long-distance telephone by
an acquaintance in Pittsburg, advising
him that the owners Of a big wire mill
ing company had fallen out among
themselves and would sell. IF you
want to make a trade bring ON 81, 900, 900
and think you can get the property"
said the man at the other end of the
wire. Inasmuch as the mills were worth
at least $2,000000 the temptation was
strong to buy them The two milion-
aires who had just laid down business
cares concluded to take the property
"for flyer"
The next evening they were in Pitts
nd 1Iy inc IN, Cat
cardcase was certified check for
81 100000. They had an all-night SEES
sion with the owners of the wire mills,
and at five o'clock in the morning they
had the property and the former stock
holders carried off the big check. The
party repaired to the Duquesne Club for
refreshments There they met the pro-
prietor of a big wire mill up the State
and to him the story of the night was
told.
IF you fellows have money to burn
you'd better buy my mills he said
banteringly.
what will you take for them?" re-
sponded Mr.. Gates.
Mine hundred thosuand dollars" was
the answer
TITS a CO." said Mr.. Gates quick as
lightning and deal involving nearly
81, 100000 was closed in less than sixty
seconds
The two Chicago men then communed
briefly and Col Elwool remarked: John,
if we are going into the wire business
we must have base of supplies. Bet
ter see if we can't buy the Cleveland
Rolling Mills"
Taking the first train out of Pitts
burg they proceeded as fast as steam
could take them to the city on the lake.
That evening they broke in on the
owner with the blunt statement that
they had come to buy his property
which included rolling mills, steamships,
docks, iron and coal mines, &c.
but I don't want to SELL" he pro-
tested. "Stil he said hcstatngly, II

would like to hear your proposition.
What are you prepared to offer?"
Five million dollars caeh," was the
reply. And then Mr.. Gate $ added
Five million dollars is big bunch Of
money. Better think it over
II want more money" expostulated
the Cleveland man.
I'VE will give you $5,OO0,OOO and not a
dollar more"
The gentlemen met later in the evening
and before midnight the trade was
closed, the old owners stepping out and
the new stepping in. The cleaning up
yielded $2,540,000 in cash. so that the
property really cost Gates and Elwood
| $2,550,O00. 1t was worth from 100000
to SS,0O0,Q00 without the cash. The next
morning the CINCINNATI Enquirer had
the story of the Pittsburg deal, and the
telegraph brought an offer of some,
valuable wire plants in and near that
city. Mr.. Gates repaired at once to Gin
cinnati and Col. Elwood FASTENED East
to negotiate for valuable plants in Mas
sachusetts. Forty-eight hours later
they met in New York and on compar-
ing notes found that they had invested
$12,000,O00 Of their cash in wire plants.
All that happened during the week be-
tween Christmas and New Year, less
than eleven months ago.
1T looks as though we We're in the
business" said Mr.. Gates.
"A fair nucleus responded Mr.. Ell
wood. "Let us go home"
They cannon balled to Chicago and
in less than another week arrangements
We're practically tconsummated for the
giant consolidation known as the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire-capital $9o,0OO,O00.
Jan. 49, or a little over three weeks
from the date of that long distance
telephone conversation between Chicago
and Pittsburg, the constituent proper
ties were duly turned in and the s. and
w. stock was distributed according to
arrangement
This, in brief, Is the inside history OF
one of the t'lightningest'' deals for its
magnitude ever negotiated. 1t was a
Napoleonic campaign from start to
finish. 1t is not recorded that either Mr..
Gates or Col Elwood lost money on the
transaction. Mr.. Gates called off that
trip around the world Chicago Post.

seat of honor, dressed after the Jewish
American fashion, sat Rosa with her
bridegroom, both looking very demure
Rosa was as pale as death; her blonde
hair was covered with a veil; her eyes
motionless, We're fixed on a certain
point, and her lower lip was quivering
with emotion.
She was wondering what would be-
come of her 1t seemed that she ought
to get up and run away; yet she was
sitting there. She was wondering where
her courage was.
| She was gazing on the mass of peo-
pie, and among her woman acquaint-
ances she recognized those who once
sided with her nobler thoughts, and
| who after ALL became married In the
| way she was now being offered,
| And she felt that she was going
| through the same experience; that the
grandchildren of the Ghetto must give
up the struggle. 1t would be much ca
sier for the great great grandchildren.
And that she must part with all her for
mer ideas, with all her sweet dreams
The more she thought of it the more
detected she became. She would have
liked to cry out farewell to all her long
cherished hopes and disappointed
dreams
She wanted to ask the musicians to
play something melancholy, as some
ones voice sounded through the hall:
What are we waiting for? It is time to
proceed with the ceremony" No soon
er did the voice cease than two women
covered Rosa's face with the veil.
Everybody gathered around her and
were quiet, except stout man, who
began to mutter rhythmical sentences.
The women wept. The musicians
played mournfully Rosa acted as
though she were suffering agonies. She
hid her face in her hands. The bards
voice sounded strange and affected all.
The musicians played louder and more
impresslvely. Rosa began to feel that
her heart was dissolving, and as in
trance she felt that her sweet dreams
were fading. That from now on she
would be, the wife of a Jew.
AS in mirror she saw herself on the
top floor of a Ghetto tenement. Dirty
children clutch her faded skirt Dirt
mocks her everywhere. She Is sur
rounded by poverty, misery, rags
endless rags.
The musicians ceased playing. ITO
the canopy, to the canopy, in lucky
hour" exclaimed her mother in
trembling voice. The bride arose and
walked firmly over, as though she had
never intended to be married otherwise.
Her heart was much easier.
The guests lit their candles. The mu-
sicians struck up a lively tune, and
the next morning, in the rear of the
third floor of a Ghetto tenement, there
appeared two new tenants.

CITY COURT. CIVIL SIDE.

In the city court, civil side, Catilda
Grener, who deals in groceries, has a
suit against Frederick M. Jackson of
Orange, for $121.21 on grocery bill.
Mrs. Grener in her complaint sets forth
that Jackson bought groceries of her
on credit, claiming that his mother-in
law, who was wealthy, had just died,
and as soon as the estate was settled
he would pay her the money.
Mrs. Grener says that she trusted
Jackson until her patience was ex-
hausted, and then an investigation dis
closed the fact that he had no rich
mother-in-law. At least if he had she
would not pay HE bills and could not
be found. So Mrs. Grener put the mat
ter in the hands of a lawyer and suit
waa brought.
Another suit was brought by Aman-
da B. Stone for the foreclosure of q
mortgage of 5000 against William r.
