Late Literary News.

The event of the literary year will be,
undoubtedly, the great novel upon which
Count Toulstoy has been laboring in order
that he may devote the proceeds to the
transportation to Canada of three thousand
Russian Quakers. 1t is generally believed
by his friends that this work will probably
mark the conclusion of Count Tolstoy's
literary career. Not merely on this ac-
count, but because of the subject treated,
it will attract the widest attention, the
world over II is profound study of the
life of man and woman, and treats of the
three phases of love-that of the youth,
that of the young man, and that Of the
man in mature age. The Cosmopolitan
Magazine announces that it has secured
the sole right of publication.

COAL AND IRON COMPANY.
The Syndicate that is Purchasing
Southwest Furnaces.

The Iron Age of January 18th contains
an article concerning the syndicate which
has recently acquired control of most Of
the iron interests in the Southwest section
ofthe State, together with almost all of
the furnaces either in or out OF use. The
Iron Age, under the caption of "The Vir-
ginia Furnace Confederation, says:
'For some time since, under the lead
ershlp of George L. Carter, general man
ager of the Dora Furnace Company, of
Pulaski, Va, movement has been on
foot to consolidate all the blast furnaces
in Virginia along the line of the Norfolk
and Western railroad. A company has
been formed entitled the Carter Coal and
Iron Company, with an Office in the En-
pire building, New York, the financing be-
ing in the hands of Moore & Schley, bank
ers, New York. While the negotiations
have not as yet eliminated to the point
of making a formal announcement of the
plans( of the new company, it is understood
that the property of a number Of furnace
plants has been acquired. Among them
are two furnaces of the Grocer Iron Com
pany, of Roanoke, Va. the furnace of the
Dora Furnace Company, of Pulaski, Va;
the furnace of the Virginia Development
Company at Buena Vista, Va, now under
lease to F. G. Dining, Jr.; the Gem fur
mace of the Shenandoah Furnace Com
pany at Shenandoah, Va; the Ivanhoe
furnace of the New River Mineral Com
pany; Max Meadows furnace, Of the Max
Meadows Iron Company, the Bristol fur
mace of the Home Iron Company, the fur
mace of the Radford Crane Iron Company,
and the Graham and Salem furnaces OF
the Virginia Development Company. Of
these furnaces one Grocer, Dora, Ivanhoe
and Buena Vista furnaces have been in
steady operation of late, with capacity
weekly of 2,400 TONS Bristol, too, has
been active. Radford, Max Meadows,
Salem, Graham and Shenandoah have not
been running for a considerable period.
The total capacity of all the furnaces
enumerated may be put at about 4,5OO
gross toys per week, The only large and
steady producer on the line Of the Norfolk
and Western which is not mentioned as
having become party to the consolida-
ton is that of the Pulaski Iron Company,
Pulaski, Va. None of the furnaces along
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad have
been acquired, so far as we can learn
The undertaking sregarded as good one,
since it will probably be possible to operate
more effectively the iron ore properties
now owned by the constituent companies,
and purchase to advantage from outside
miners. In other directions, loo, i'm
portant economies would probably be
effected"
