And speed upon it's homeWard trail,

Beneath them from the brambles fly,

Twin posies Of pure violet
To me the dearest flower of all.

Breaks over with a sullen roar
The silver ring of purple sea,
A roar that with dimly brings
A murmur Of great misery;
Though here the foxglove belfry swings
In silence and with trembling song
The nightingales no more proclaim
Nights triumph, as the heavens along
The first star flashes forth in flame.

CONSOLIDATION
Is the Moving Influence in the Iron
and Steel Markets. Sheet Makers
Planning a Trust.

| NEW YORK, February 2-Iron Age in
| it's weekly review says:
| Reports relative to pools and consoida-
| tons continue numerous. The feeling is
gaining ground that the American Tin
| Plate company is on the eve of consum-
mating the control of the tin bar supply
| through the purchase of the plants of the
| Shenango Valley Steel Co., the Ohio Steel
| Co., the Buhl Steel Co., King. Gilbert &
Warner, and the Wheeling Steel and Iron
Co., having also made long time con-
tracts with the other two plants making
tin plate bars in the Pittsburg and Wheel
| ing districts.
The sheet mills are working on a con-
| soldation similar in its lines to that of
the tin plate company and the western
bar iron makers are trying to gather to-
| gether once more the same elements
which once co-operated in the loosely
| bound old western association
| Five of the largest car builders are on
the eve of fusion, one of the plans being
/ to establish close relations with the prin-
| cipal steel car building concerns. The
cast iron pipe consolidation does not seem
| to be making much Roadway, although
more powerful financial interests may yet
|
! The wire rod market is in a peculiar
| condition, being now in complete control
| of the large wire interest, the under
standing being that the entire product
| of the large independent producer is con-
| tracted for. In the smaller branches of
the wire industry there is much alarm
| over the future Although it is reported
| that the requirements of the majority of
! the smaller works are covered for some
| time to come.
| The open billet market is naturally re-
stricted through the fact that large lines
are now controlled by the two consolida-
| tons who have made their arrangements
| in some cases for long periods Pittsburg
reports the sale of one lot of ten thous-
and tons, and Philadelphia notes a five
| thousand ton lot.
| The pipe and tube makers are very busy
| Conflicting reports are current concerning
the consolidation, but it looks as though
| it were coming to an issue The leading
mills have done very we'll financially in
recent years.

THE BROWN CASE.
From Preston County, Before Judge
Jackson in the Federal Court Yes.
terday.

Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, February q
The famous suit of James A. Brown
against William NJ Brown, of King
wood, w. Va, was before Judge Jack
son, in the federal court to-day. Both
parties to the controversy are promi-
nent attorneys of the State. Recently
the former filed bill in equity in aid
of voluntary bankruptcy petition pre-
viously filed. Plaintiff charges that
he was the owner of valuable land and
personal property in Preston county to
the amount of 100000; that he was in
debted to William G. Brown, his cousin
$1,000; that the whole amount of his
debts did not exceed $4,000: that the
defendant fraudulently induced him to
make a general assignment and con-
spired with bidders, sacrificing the
property at such inadequate prices as
to amount to fraud.
James A. Flynn, special receiver, has
recovered 1900 in cash and IS 900 in
notes from the defendants, and the de-
PENDANTS are ordered to release certain
office furniture and fixtures in their
possession belonging to the plaintiff.

GREAT ORE SALES.
Furnacemen Tumbling Over Each
o her to Secure Their Years Sup
ply.

CLEVELAND, o., February 3.-The Ma
rine Review tomorrow will say:
Without leaving their offices the iron
ore sales agents of Cleveland have. in a
single week, disposed of practically the
entire output of Lake Superior mines for
the coming year. This is a business that
usually stretches over two or three
months. The rush of furnacemen to COW
er up their requirements Immediately fol-
lowing the announcement of prices, is
such that the question with the ore COM
panies has been how far can they go with
sales and still keep within conservative
estimates as to what they may expect in
output from their mines. The ore bust
ness of the coming year is to be limited
only by producing capacity.
No satisfactory estimate can be made
of the total output on account of the
many elements of uncertainty that enter
into calculations.
This rush on the part of iron and steel
manufacturers to cover up their require
ments in ore relates particularly to what
are known as old range ores but the new
Mesaba range ores of Minnesota will of
course, share in the prosperity by a
largely increased output, probably fully
up to the producing capacity.

MURDER TRIAL
Begun at Lisbon, Ohio, Yesterday-Ques
tion of Jurisdiction.
al H. u

Began at Lisbon, Ohio, Yesterday-Ques-
tion of Jurisdiction.
Special to the Register.
East Liverpool, o., February 2.-The
trial Of Theodore Pryor for the murder
of Henry Clark opened at Lisbon to-
day. Pryor and Clark were deck
hands on the Ohio river packet Ben
Hur, and in fight on November q,
while the Ben Hur lay at the East Liv-
erpool wharf, Pryor Drained Clark with
a big piece of timber and then fed.
Clark's body was taken to Pittsburg,
his home.
Most of to-day was occupied in deter
mining the Jurisdiction of the Ohio
court. The defense contended that
when the murder occurred the Ben Hur
was outside the low water mark, and
therefore under the jurisdiction of the
West Virginia courts, since the river
is within the Jurisdiction of that State.
Judge Smith ruled that SO long as the
packet was tied to the wharfboat 1t
came within the jurisdiction Of the
Ohio courts. The defense Immediately
excepted, and the matter will likely be
taken through the higher courts to test
the law on this point.
The testimony is not lengthy. The
case will go to the jury on Saturday.

The valued policy insurance bill will
probably pass both houses, but not in
its original form. will probably
have this amnedment:--
Provided, that such insurance COM
panies shall be liable, as aforesaid,
upon policies of insurance covering
property other than houses, buildings
and real estate, to the extent of the ac-
tual loss sustained. and not other
wise"
This is the amendment offered by
Jake Fisher 1t appears to furnish
compromise ground satisfactory to both
sides. 1t is conceded that there is merit
in the valued policy bill, because OF
the fact that agents will write policies
for more than the actual value OF
the property, in order to obtain larger
premiums. This is frequently done.
1t often happens that man insures a
81 900 house for $1,000, pays premiums
based upon that sum for number OF
years, and when the property is de-
stroyed by fire is compelled to accept
settlement upon the basis Of its actual
value. The proposed bill will make
the agent determine the value of prop
erty before the policy is written, and
will prevent injustice to the policy
holder. Mr.. Fishers amendment will
enable insurance companies to settle
losses of household goods, merchan-
disc, machinery, ETC., upon the basis
of actual value. H. V. ARKLE.

RAEFEL TO BLAME.
The German Representative at Apia Caused
all the Trouble.


Washington, February 2.-While the
State Department has received nothing
from Auckland by cable confrmatory
of the press advices as to the last series
of events in Samoa, it is assumed that
they fully warrant such action as has
been taken by the government in the
matter of representations to the Ger
man foreign minister. 1t is quite APP
parent that the German officials in
Samoa have transgressed the rights
conferred upon them by treaty, at the
expense of the American and British
interests. Something of this kind was
almost expected in view of the irascible
disposition exhibited by DR.. Raffel, the
German president of the municipal
council, and in the attempt to secure
the removal of such a dangerous ele-
ment from the scene the government
here gave a ready assent to his replace
ment by another German. UnfOrtun-
ately, however, Raffel held over long
after it was supposed here that he had
depared from Apia.

Washington, February 2.-The record
of the court-martial in the case Of
Gen. Eagan is now in the hands of the
President for final review. To-day Mr..
Worthington, attorney for Gen. Eagan,
filed with the judge advocate general
the additional or supplementary plea
which he was granted permission to
lodge. 1t was an elaboration of the
points made by counsel before the
court-martial. A formidable array Of
authorities have been produced, partic-
ularly in support of the contention that
Gen. Eagan's conduct, though the facts
be admitted, was not legally in the line
of the charge of conduct unbecoming
an officer and gentleman. This paper
was placed by the judge advocate gem
eral in the hands of the adjutant gem
eral, and will be added to the papers
bearing on the case now in the hands
of the President.
