ANOTHER STEEL COMBINATION
New Haven and Susquehanna Com
panies to Be Merged.

New Haven. Conn, Nov. THE New
Haven Iron and Steel company, for
merly the New Haven rolling mill,
which was sold out to a Philadelphia
syndicate last summer, is soon to be
merged with a new combination, in
which the Susquehanna Iron and Steel
company is to be a large factor. The
consolidation is to take place soon.
The new company, to be known as
the Atlantic Iron and Steel company, is
to have a capital stock of $4,000, 600.
The New Haven company's stock is to
be exchanged on the basis of one share
for one and one-half of the Atlantic.
No change is to be made in the local
company. The consolidation will make
il one of the largest, and most i'm
portant companies of its kind in New
England.

OHIO.

Cincinnati, O., Nov. THE weather
is fine and voting heavy; much
scratching; no disorder.
Columbus-1O p. m.-The chairmen of
both the republican and democratic
state committees are claiming the cleo
tion of their respective state tickets
and also a majority of the legislature.
Columbus-HOn. c. L. Kurtz, Ohio
member of the republican national
committee, who is in Governor Bush
nelrs Office figuring returns said: Il
regard the returns received up to this
time as insufficient to make a correct
statement on the vote for governor"
Cleveland-11:45 p m.-FOrty out of
the 213 precincts in this county give
Nash, 2.71O; Mclean, 1883. and Jones,
4,935. A republican loss of 1,544. and a
democratic loss of 1892.
Columbus-At II p. m. returns showed
that the democratic gains in Cincinnati
and other cities were reduced and that
Mclean was likely third in the race at
Cleveland and possibly at Toledo, in
which cities Jones drew much more
heavily from the democrats than
from the republicans. At the same time
the republican net gains outside of Gin
cinnati, Cleveland and Toledo We're in
creasing at such a rate as to indicate
a plurality of from 10000 to 10000 for
Judge Nash for governor, and the en-
tire republican state ticket, including
a majority of the legislature.

PUTTING Up A GOOD DEFENSE
And Doing a Little Effective Field
work by Way OF Recreation-A
Camp of Beers Surprised and
Gus to Pieces An Unsuccessful
Assault on nsfekina Week
Ago.

London, Nov. 7.-Tonight's welcome
dispatches from the front have rent
the veil of gloom enveloping Lady
smith. showing the British garrison
not merely standing on a dogged de-
fense. but executing a series of bril-
sources agree that the laconic official
description of Thursdays engagement
as ''an effective shelIing of the Boer
lager" was unduly modest. 1t appears
that General Sir George Stewart White
sent a strong force of cavalry and in
fantry to attack the Beers at Tatham's
farm, about ten miles to the north
west, near Besters, and apparently
achieved a surprise, the Beers being
caught on the open veldt and cut to
pieces and their camp captured. En-
couraged by this success, General
White decided to risk an even more i'm
portant engagement on the following
day. which was again justified by sue
cess.
Boer force has intercepted the railway
between Ladysmith and Colenso. This
force on Friday descended upon CO.
lenso and as shown by the dispatches
from Estcourt had compelled a hurried
abandonment of Colenso and the re-
tirement of the British to Estcourt.
! News has just arrived from Mafeking
showing that up to October % the
Beers continued the bombardment,
firing as many as 800 shells in thirty.
six hours. though causing but little
damage and wounding only four men.
That day they closed in all around the
town and made a determined attempt
to rush it. The garrison turned out to
a man and delivered a terrific rifle and
Maxim fire which speedily stampeded
the Beers, who were driven over mines
which exploded and scattered them in
all directions. 1t is believed at Mafe-
king that the enemy suffered heavily
and is not likely to make another at
tempt to storm the town.
Evidently more detailed reports of
General Whites doings at Ladysmith
must be received before the public will
happened. Reports from various
sources show that another important
reconnaissance or engagement occurred
on Saturday south of Ladysmith, and
Cape Town newspaper reports that
1900 Beers were captured there.

QUIET SINCE FRIDAY.

London, Nov. 7.-An official dispatch
from Ladysmith, dated Monday. says:
There has been a cessation of hostil-
tiles since Friday. Only one Kaffir was
killed by the Boer bombardment. The
total British loss was eight killed, in
cluding Captain Knapp and Lieutenant
Brabant, and twenty wounded in
Thursdays and Fridays engagements.
The town is provisioned and is be-
lieved to be entirely safe"
1t is announced in cable
dispatch from Cape Town, dated
Sunday, Nov. 5th. that the British have
been victorious in an engagement ut
Ladysmith and the Boer loss was very
heavy. including 1000 prisoners.
Such scanty intelligence as is
filtering through from the front
is generally accepted here as re-
assuring, although later reports agree
that the fighting outside of Ladysmith
on Thursday and Friday was much
more severe than indicated by the Off
cial accounts. There is no longer such
a disposition to jump at a conclusion
that a crushing blow had been inflicted
on the Beers. as was shown before. The
British contempt for the burghers has
been modified by defeat.

FROM SAN FRANCISCO
Comes the News that for Catarrh no
Remedy Is so Beneficial as
Pe-ru-na.

Hon. William A. Deane, clerk Of the
city and county of San Francisco, is an
exceptionally popular young man,
socially and politically. In a letter
written January 2Sth, 1899, from San
Francisco, to DR.. Hartman, Mr. Deane
has the following to say of Pe-ru-na:
The Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co.:
"GENTLEMEN:-I would not be with
out Pe-ru-na, as l have found it to be
the best remedy for catarrhal complaints
that | have ever used. 1 have tried
most all of the so.called catarrh remedies
advertised, and can conscientiously say
that OF all the remedies for catarrhal
complaints recommended to me none
have been so beneficial as Pe-ru-na.
WIN. A. DEANE."
The spring time is the most favorable
time Of the year to treat catarrh. There
is so much less liability to take fresh
cold that the treatment is unimpeded.
All old cases Of chronic catarrh should
begin Immediately a course of Pc. ru-na
as directed in DIR. Hartman's book on
this disease. There are so many differ
ent phases and stages of catarrh that one
hardly knows when he has it. A great
many people think they are suffering
from something else and have tIiet
many medicines in vain, when If thel
could realize that it is catarrh and take
Pe-ru-na for it they would improv
promptly and soon recover entirely
There are no substitutes. Let no on,
persuade you there are other catarri
remedies just as good.
