Considering Proposition Of the Cincin-
natl Convention.
STOVE MAKERS MAY FOLLOW THE
PROCESSION MORE TALK ON
THE RIVERSIDE L-OTHER
INDUSTRIAL MATTERS.

The stove manufacturers of this vi
entity are at present seriously consid-
ering the proposition for a national
combine which emanates from the re-
cent convention of the stove makers of
the country at Cincinnati. They are as
yet undecided as to what action to take
in the premises, but the trend of Opin-
ion among those who have expressed
themselves appears to be favorable to
the consolidation if certain require
ments are met. The question which
contributes most largely to the uncer-
tainty of the plant owners position is
the basis upon which the price of the
properties is to be estimated. If the
plants could be sold outright at
satisfactory figure there is little doubt
that at least two of the three foundries
in this locality would be disposed of
to the trust The offer which will be
submitted by the committee of pro-
motors is that the individual concerns

60 per cent cash and 40 per cent stock,
and this latter term of the proposition
is proving a stumbling block to many
interested parties. If the payment was
to be made in cash the inducement to
sell would be much greater.
There are so many conditions which
the trust promoters will be compelled
to meet and such a large per cent of
the plants are cooperative concerns,
where the employees are more interest
ed in steady work and fair wages than
in stock and profits that there is still
much doubt as to the consummation
of the big deal.
The industry in the Wheeling district
in comprised in the plant of Spence,
Baggs & Co., at Martins Ferry, the
Bellaire Stove Foundry and the coop
erative stove works on the South Side.
Gentlemen in a position to speak for
the two companies over the river have
intimated that if the matter of ap-
praisement can be accomplished in ac-
cordance with their own ideas of fair
ness they will join the great procession
of manufacturers which is steadily
moving toward business and industrial
Capitalization.

ONE IN EVERY FOUR.
Ono Person in Every Four suffers From
PLIES.


Piles.
About one person in every four
suffers from some form of rectal
disease. The most common and an
noying is itching piles, indicated
by warmth, slight moisture and in
tense, uncomfortable itching in the
parts affected.
The usual treatment has been
some simple ointment or saIve
which sometimes give temporary
relief, but nothing like a perma-
nent cure can be expected from
such superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itch
ing piles yet discovered is the
Pyramid Pile Cure, not only for
itching piles, but for every other
form of piles, blind bleeding or
protruding. The first application
gives instant relief and the contin-
ued use for short time causes a
permanent removal of the tumors
or the small parasites which cause
the intense itching and discomfort
of itching piles.
Many physicians for long time
supposed that the remarkable relief
afforded by the Pyramid Pile Cure
was because it was supposed to
contain cocaine, opium, or similar
drugs, but such is not the case A
recent careful analysis of the rem
edy showed it to be absolutely free
from any cocaine, opium, or in fact
any poisonous, injurious drugs
whatever. Sold by druggists at so
cents per package.

YESTERDAY.

Cold Roll Boys at the La Belle Went Out
Yesterday.
The employees of cold roll depart
ment at the LaBelle mill struck yester-
day at noon for less hours, after having
notified the management of their de-
mands, during the morning The en-
ployes have asked that only ten hours
work be required on day turn and also
six days wages be paid for the five
night turns. Each turn at the LaBelle
cold roll department consists of twelve
hours, and the boys are willing to work
that number of hours on night turn.
About forty-two boys are employed in
the department and all have gone out
together. The greasers, catchers and
carrying off hands receive s1.15 per
day; the rough rollers and second pass
rollers, s1.25 per day, and the finishers,
$1.35 per day. The strike has not
effected the other departments at the
mill.

Assessors Returns Show the Trail of the
Serpent"
The following from the Belmont
Chronicle will be of interest to our
patrons in the over-the-river towns:
The assessors are now making their
returns to the County Auditor, and the
towns of GAINESVILLE, Bellaire and Mar
tins Ferry have been returned COM
plete. GAINESVILLE makes a slight gain
over last year, Martins Ferry sub
stantial gain, amounting to about
$4,000, but Bellaire shows a marked
decrease, and the major part of the loss
comes from the Fifth ward, where is
located the Rellaire Steel Works, The
loss in that ward alone is 100000, and
this is one Of the things the trusts has
done for us right here at home. Where
moneys and credits have heretofore
been listed in Bellaire, now Chicago is
the headquarters and it is there that
money has gone. But it would also
appear that good many people in Bel
laire who sold their stock in the Steel
Works forgot to mention the money
they received for it, when the assessor
called. In consequence the Board of
Equalization which meets in few days
will probably have great amount of
work on hand, and a good many will
be put on the rack

BAD NIGHT

For River Crafts-The George Shiras
Swamped-Wind Blew Perfect Hurri-
cane-More or Less Damage Reported
all Along the Cpper Ohio Other Items of
interest Picked Up on the Wharf.
The wind on this section of the up
per Ohio late Tuesday and early yes
terday morning was hardly less than a
hurricane. Old riyermen say they
cannot remember an instance within
the past half century when the wind
blew any harder. There have been
times when more damage has been
done by the wind. Luckily there were
not many craft out, in the direct path
of the storm, which greatly accounts
for the little damage done.
The worst accident reported up to
date occurred to the George Shiras,
about p. m. Tuesday, as she was on
her way home to Pittsburg with a
tow of empties. At the foot of Philns
Island, about eight miles below Ro-
chester, she fell in with the hurricane.
The force of the wind was so great
that the boat was literally swamped.
Luckily no lives were lost Had it not
been for the fact that she was hitch
ed to a tow she would have been cap
sized. She is now laying with her
lower deck about half way under
water Her bow is held up by the tow.
She can easily be raised. The Shiras
belongs to Judd Bros, the Pitsburg
coal operators.
The City of Pittsburg met the storm
shortly after O'Clock p M at point
just off the dangerous piling at Mer-
riman. The force of the wind carried
her broadside onto the piling,
which at present projects several feet
above the surface The only damage
she suffered was to have several sta
tionaries torn out on the starboard side
just forward of the wheel-house. The
skillful handling by the pilots account
a great deal for the slight shaking
up she got
Quite a little damage was done to
barges moored to the bank at New
Cumberland and several other points.

the two for one for their stock pro-
posed. One stakeholder said yesterday:
I'VE are now in the position that the
stockholders of the Bellaire and Aetna
Standard were before they sold out. At
the time they thought they were max
ing a good bargain. They now realize
that they did not. The Aetna-Standard
this year will make fifty per cent of
its capital stock of three millions, or a
million and a half of net profit, and the
Bellaire plant will clean up a cool
million. In other words, if we had
held on to our ownership in those
plants we would have made as much
as we did by selling out, and would still
own the mills, besides. 1t will, | fear,
be so with the Riverside. Besides.

control of at east one of our big indus

yesterday that negotiations were on for

factory by the new electric light COM
pany. Secretary and Treasurer Gull
bertson, of the Riverside Iron and Steel
Company, in an interview concerning
the report, last evening stated he had

The Riverside nail factory, which is
located on Main street, between
Twenty-fourth and Twenty fifth, has
been vacant since 1891. The works is
about two hundred feet long and nearly
two hundred feet wide and contains
lot of valuable machinery. including
224 nail machines. 1t would cost a
considerable amount of money to con-
vert the factory into an electric light
plant. However, the site is considered
as being an excellent one for such an,
industry.
