BIG CONTRACTS AWARDED.
Sharon, Pa, is to Have a Mammoth New
Steel Plant In the Near Future.

SHARON, Pa, Oct. 6.-The Sharon
Steel Company received its charter from
Harrisburg, and a meeting of the direc-
tors will be held at once to elect officers.
The company has awarded a number of
important contracts within the last few
days. and it is expected that the work
of erecting some of the buildings will
be commenced within two months.
The iron work for the blast furnace,
which will have a daily output of 800
tons, will be turned out by Ritter & Con-
ley of Pittsburg. This firm will also
erect four large stoves and 225-foot
stack, the latter for the steel mill.
The contract for the erection of all
the buildings was awarded to the Shift
f1er Bridge company, of Pittsburg. This
is one of the most important contracts
let, and will involve large amount of
work.

partments of the new steel plant will
be in operation within ten months, or
at furthest a year.

The British Parliament May Not Sane
England May Not Send All the Twenty
five Thousand Reserves to the Scene
of Hostilities.
LONDON, Oct. l0.-The complete
dearth of news from the Cape, on
which all attention is rivlted, is poor
ly compensated for by the mass of mi
nor details published concerning the
preparations for the despatch of the
army corps and speculation as to the
length and character of the debates
when parliament meets. In official cir
cles there is said to be apprehension
that the Radicals will offer protracted
opposition to the governments policy
in South Africa, which will possibly
make propagation and Christmas near
neighbors.
Lord Salisbury's whip to the lords,
just issued, says parliament will deal
with matters of grave moment.
The latest dispatch from Louresomar-
quez, relating to the chasing of the
steamer Guelph by the cruiser Phil
omel caused some stir, especially as
1t was announced that the Guelph had
landed at Durham 400 cases of ammuni-
tion for the Beers. There Is a pretty
general feeling that ammunition ought
not to be allowed to be forwarded.
The Pail Mall Gazette referring to the
matter says: There is some hope that
the ammunition will be seized at Dur
ban, as Natal possesses a ministry
whose loyalty is unquestioned. Had
not the Filipinos been given arms by
Americans with which to fight Spain,
General Otis would long ago have been
enjoying his ease at home. Similarly
with the Beers, we may have to pay
heavily in blood for the apathy the
Cape government has exhibited in this
matter"
Some indications of the war offices
estimates of the duration of the cam
paign is given by the fact that the
authorities have contracted for eight
months supply of bread and other mill
tary requisites rendered necessary by
the absence OF the bulk of the army
service corps NHoih 'he "oi OiiNS mus
evidently calculates will be at home
again by the beginning of May.
1t appears that, although the war
office called up $4,000 reserves, only the
pick of them, some 5000, will be retain
ed with the colors.
Baron Tweedmouth presided at a
meeting of the council of London Radi-
calls, which, after a speech by Lord
Tweedmouth, deploring the unwise pol
Icy of the government, whose dispatch
es, he declared, were not couched in
conciliatory terms, adopted a resolution
in favor of arbitration and calling upon
the government to take steps tending
to a settlement of the difficulty with
the Transvaal by negotiations for arbi-
tration.

LATEST COMBINATION.
Vehicle Manufacturers Are Now Form
ing "a Gigantic Trust.

ms OikdhhhN
PITTSBURG, Oct 5.-The latest in
dustrial combination reported is now
being formed in the vehicle manufac-
turing line. Several m nths since lie
manufacturers of vehicles met in Phil
adelphia and, in view of the present
industrial conditions, they concluded
that a consolidation would be for the
best interests of all. A committee was
appointed to take the preliminary steps
toward organization, and that commit
tee employed Attorney A. Leo Well, of
this city, to bring about the cOnsolida-
tion, and also to frame the capital re-
quired. Mr.. We'll when seen said
I'm pursuance of the original plan
we have been at work fer some months
and the consolidation of the vehicle
manufacturing interests is well on the
way. About 40 concerns are now en-
gagged in this branch, and contracts
for the plants have been secured from
over 80 per cent, and most of the re-
mainder have given promises favorable
to the project. The plants to be con-
solidated are located at various. points
in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri,
Massachusetts and Connecticut The
finances have been arranged and we
are now awaiting a favorable time in
the stock market to bring out the en-
terprise.
The parties now in business ex-
pect to take a considerable amount of
the stock. The contracts for the plants
are made on an absolutely cash basis,
and the indications for large profits
are very fair. The company will be
conservatively capitalized, as care will
be taken to avoid the mistake made by
many such organizations in having a
capital on which fair profits cannot be
made. The interests involved all agree
that the organization shall be capital
lied upon actual tangible assets and it
VIII undoubtedly be given the support
of financial men and investors"
The new company, the name Of which
has not yet been made public, will be
chartered in New Jersey. Attorney
We'll stated that the amount of capital
stock is not yet definitely fixed on ac-
count of pending contracts The new
company will manufacture carriages,
buggies, automobiles, spring wagons
and ambulances. In fact, every kind
of road vehicle 'outside of railway cars
VIII be built One quite important
statement made in reference to the
new company is that it will own and
operate its own steel plant.
Attorney We'll declined to give the
location of the plant, and would not
say whether 1t was in the Pittsburg
district or elsewhere. but he stated
that 1t is now in operation He further
said that the new company was not
put on foot with an intention of MAX
Ing any special departure in the manu-
facture of automobiles, but it was simp-
ly an organization to carry on all the
branches of the trade.

Sunday Was Not Day of Rest For the
Chief Executive.
CHICAGO. Oct. 9.-Sunday was not
a day of rest for President Mckinley.
The center of city's festivities and one
desired object of numerous committees
and delegations, he was kept busy
from the time of the last puff from his
after breakfast cigar till the last bene-
diction of the religious services which
filled the day had been given. During
the afternoon and evening he attended
three religious services, two in the
Auditorium and one in Quin chapel, at
which latter place he spoke a few words
of greeting to the enthusiastic colored
congregation there assembled.
At the exercises for children in the
Auditorium in the afternoon the pres
ident said:
II do not like to interrupt the singing
of the American hymn by making a
speech. l can only express to you the
very great satisfaction 1t is to witness
this magnificent demonstration 'of pat
Fiotism and love of God"

Gill, now 30 years old, came to America
from England five years ago. He found

His choice finally fell on Miss Julia

mustered up the courage to ask Julia
to become his wife.
Both are Catholics, and it was ar
ranged that the wedding should take
place at Cleveland. Gill was busy, so
his fiancee said she would come to
Cleveland and arrange for the cere-
mony, stopping over night at the home
of a mutual friend. He was to join her
the next day. Gill was on hand bright
and early, only to be met by the un-
welcome news that Miss Bechold had
never appeared. Inquiries at the ca
thedral showed that she had not ap-
peared there to make arrangements for
the wedding. The half-crazed lover
telegraphed to Chagrin Falls and the
lady's home in Plttsburg, but all in
vain. She had not appeared at either
place. Then he broke down and wept.
After waiting all day the fearful Gill
went back to Chagrin Falls, still a

Largest Corn Cron In History.

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-"This years corn
crop will be one of the largest in our
history" said Secretary of Agriculture
James Wilson, who is in Chicago with
the presidential party. THE total
yield, it is estimated, will be between
23,OOO,OOO and 25,OOO,OOO bushels. There
will be plenty for manufacturing and
feeding and we will have the corn to
sell to anybody that wants to buy. To
what extent the crop will be shipped
abroad will depend largely upon the
price it will bring. The high prices
offered for meats will incline the far

Mr.. Vessels, member of the Cape as

gentleman declared he saw no way to
avert war between Great Britain and
the Transvaal, which If not long would
be terribly severe. He believed ii
would be impossible to restrain the
younger Dutch residents of Cape Col
ony, with whom blood would prove
thicker than water. The Beers, said
DR.. Vessels, are hemmed in and will
fight desperately, while trouble may be
