The boxers, their seconds, bottle hold
ers, assistants and managers, all de-
serted the city Tuesday afternoon,
Messrs. Dougherty, Matthews and Jack
O'Brien going to New York, and Messrs.
Patrick Sullivan, Oscar Gardner and
Winnie Winters pulling out for Wheel
ing, where they will be for a few days
previous to their departure for New
York and Hartford, Conn.
1t looked for a while as though a
match would be arranged between
Messrs. Gardner and O'Brien or Gard
ner and Finnerty. All were seated in a
North Phelps street cafe, and over
glasses of settler and some stronger
liquid, talked about Monday nights af-
fair. Messrs. Dougherty and OBrien
were not present. Finnerty came in
later and had nothing to say, but his
hacker was there ready to put up cash
for him. Patrick Sullivan offered to
wager $1,000 to $500, or double that
amount, that Gardner could defeat
O'Brien before an eastern club where a
large purse would be forthcoming.
To this the club men laughed.
Dougherty not being present, no match
was made on his behalf, but club Of
ficials said that surely O'Brien would
accept. Then a contest with Finnerty

Finnerty withdrew his cash. He seems

the conditions are favorable for the
rivermen. There is much snow on the
ground, much more than usual. 1t will
take a tremendous rainfall to cause
the rain to reach the rivers. 1t has
been my experience that where there
is a large amount of snow and a heavy
rain comes, little reaches the river, for
the snow holds the rain. In the event
of cold weather following a rain there
would be 40 material damage. No one
can tell just what the result will be,
but do not expect any general disas-
ter"

the deal between the American Tin
Plate Company and the Aetna-Standard
people will be consummated and that
the big plant will pass under control
of the trust within the limit at first
set, yet the work Of unifying the
stockholders is not free from opposi-
ton. Il am pursuaded to believe"
said an interested party to the Reg
lister, that if some of the big holders
that have already tied themselves up
by the terms of the option were well
out of it, they would stay out, or de-
mand cash in full for every dollars
worth of stock they have in the
plant" However this may be, there is
certainly some dissatisfaction among
holders of the securities and the work
of getting consent of all to the deal
is progressing under some difficulties.
1t is reliably stated that the move
ment to consolidate all the sewer pipe
plants of the country is about to fall
through because of the exhorbitant
figures some of the owners have set
upon their property. An Ohio Valley
manufacturer asks $500, 600 for a plant
which under the most literal valu-

than $50, 900. Other manufacturers
are said to be doing the same thing
and for this reason the scheme seems
to be tottering. A committee from the
trust promoters has been appointed to
set a value upon plants which have
shown a disposition to enter the COM
bine, and if the deal cannot be closed
at something like reasonable figures
the scheme may go by the board.
Yesterday evening the directors of
the Wheeling & Elm Grove line opened

second time bids have been received

agreeable in certain particulars, to the
company.

with his wife and determined to play a
practical joke on her. Obtaining an ounce
bottle of carbolic acid he smeared a por-
ton of the poison upon his heavy growth
of whiskers. staggered into the room
where his employer was sitting, said he
was tired of life. had taken carboiic acid,
and asked that his wife be informed.
The employer called two doctors By tee
phone and produced a cupful of mustard
and warm water. When Salisbury saw the
matter was being taken seriously he weak
ened and declared it was all joke. This
his employer refused to believe. and aid
was called. Salisbury being held while the
mixture was poured dow his throat.
Then the two doctors arrived, and in vain
did the joker sputter, kick, and protest.

tons. he succumbed. and the doctors
thinking he was sinking put stomach
pump down his throat and worked 1t Wig

faint away and ne was given heroic treat
ment to revive him.
At last the doctors had time to look
into Salisbury's mouth, and found he had
taken no poison. The physicians left in
disgust, but il will require some time to
restore Salisbury to his normal condition.

TO Be INAUGURAqED
Government Prepares to Sup

BreWerieS to Be Placed on a Par

Expert Chemists VIII Analyze the
Beverages. Which Must Be of
Required Standard.

Government analysis of all beer anC
other brewers products is to be one of tht
features of the near future. scientific
investigation of all brands offered in the
open market will be made by the expert
chemists of the Department Of Agricul-
ture.
Chemist Harvey W. Wiley is now in
Chicago having been sent there by Secre-
tary Wilson 10 assist the Senate Pure
Food Committee in its Investigation. This
committee was appointed at the last ses-
sion of Congress TO make a report on all
food products. but is at present confrinG
its attention exc!uslv.ly to the invest@;a-
tion of the purity OF the beer consumed
by the american people.
Although the Investigation does not fail
within the province of the Agricultural
Department. Secretary Wilson has deter
mined to assist in every way possible. and
from the forthcoming report the United
States chemists intend to make sup
Elementary report. Senator Mason is
chairman of the Committee of Investiga-
tion and is working harmonous;y with the
Agricultural Department officials. In fact.
Chemist Wiley will be in complete charge
OF all the analyses to be made.
Many of the States have pure food laws
and to a certain extent regulate the out
put of all manufactures in the nature of
foods and beverages. Secretary Wilson
has realized for years that there is much
adulteration Of the beer offered in the
American markets.
In many instances impure ingredients
are also used by the brewers. 1t is pro-
posed TO show Congress through the pres
ent investigation the necessity of placing
all breweries in the United States under
Government supervision. The investiga-
tion now being made in Illinois will be
extended to other States and every brew
cry in the country will be probably re-
quired to furnish the Committee with sam
pies of the beer placed on the market
The Committee will not make an investi-
Gaticn of food products until it is prepared
to submit its finding on the character Of
the brewery outputs.
II is said that Secretary Wilson will rec
ommend to the next Congress the appoint
ment of brewery inspectors. Chemist WI
ley will make a formula regulating the
standard of beers and all brewers will be
compelled to comply with the regulation.
All whisky manufactured in the United
States has to be gauged by the Government
officials. 1t is argued that there is more
beer drunk in the country than any other
beverage and that its purity should be a
matter Of investigation. The brewers of
Illinois have already been notified to ap-
pear before the Committee ard several ex-
pert chemists invited to assist in the inyes-
tigation.
