Trust was under investigation by the
Industrial Commission to-day. Mr..
Charles c. Clark, distiller OF Peoria,
H., was the witness He outlined the
history of all combinations Of distillers

Philadelphia, Pa, May 13.-General
superintendent l. A. Sweigard, of the
Reading railway, gave out statement
this afternoon in which he places the
eter Pa, last night, at 25, and those
injured at so. In his statement Mr..
Sweigard says: "The prime cause of
the accident was the pulling cut of a
draw-bar ON coal train. which was
taking a sidetrack at Birdsboro to allow
the first section OF the express train
TO pass. On account of this drawbar
having pulled out considerable time
was consumed in coupling up the coal
train and it did not clear Train No. II,
the first section, left Reading three min
utes late and ran by the block at Ex-
eter the entire length of the train. but
Immediately backed the length of the
train while the conductor was receiv
ing his orders at the telegraph Office.
THE block ahead then being clear

the rear of the train.
THE engine of the second section tel
escoped the Harrisburg coach its entire
length and stopped with the front end
of the engine in the Pullman car. The
front end of this Pullman car was also
crushed in by the car ahead. The first
car of the second section was damaged
to some extent, as was the car next
TO it. The engine Of the Second section

TWO BIG FURNACES
10 be Built by the National Steel Company
at Mingo Junction.

Special to the Register
Mingo Junction, o., May 13.-This
town is enjoying the greatest real es-
tate boom in it's history. To-day there
was much inquiry for real estate. The
boom grows out of purchases made by
the National Steel Company of addi-
tional territory on the bottom land be-
low town. They consummated several
deals to-day, among them being: S15,-
600 to S. w McCauslen for 7710 acres;
S12, 900 to George Floto for a tract
$500 to John McClave; $500 to Henry
Bickse, and s450 to Patrick Moran for
Its. he tteel trust is after several
other tracts, and they want enough to
enable them to straight out Cross
creek and keep it from spreading all
over the bottom. An option has been
taken on the Henry Adams farm, and
Fred. Farmer has sold parts of his farm
to be laid out in lots. Two furnaces of
$50 or 500 tons each will be built on
the land just purchased by the Ma
tional Steel Company

BOATS ARE SCARCE.
Serious staGnstion in Business FeIt at
Cleveland OHIO.

Serious staEnstion In Business Felt at
Cleveland. OHIO.
Cleveland. Ohio. May 13-There were
less than dozen boats in the Cleveland
harbor to-day while thousands of tons
Of coal and general merchandise lay in
the cars at the local yards awaiting lake
transportation. A boat famine is eaus-
ing a stagnation of business. Not only
is the lake trade affected, but all rail-
roads with lake connections feel the
effects Of the famine. A car blockade Of
the worst kind has resulted in this city.
Coal and ore shippers were unable
to get boats at any price Saturday The
ore men were offering IS cents. an ad-
vance of FIVE cents from the head of the
lakes TO Lake Erie ports. but failed 10
get boats. Vesselmen claimed 10 nave
received offers Of IS cents on coal to
Milwaukee. This is an advance Of 5
cents per ton on Fridays markets and
Is cents on the prevailing rate at the
first OF the week.

ey to-day cabled the Navy Department
from Manila that he had reconsidered
his plans respecting the Boston and had
concluded to allow the cruiser to come
to the United States at once.
The admiral said nothing further as
to his own return to the United States.
The officials of the Navy Department
expressed some surprise at the an
nouncement through the Associated
Press cablegram from Manila that
Dewey will occupy four months in the
cruise, for this period is at least twice
the time that would be required to
make a straight cruise homeward.
However it is supposed that he desired
to delay his arrival in the United States
until the hot weather of summer had
passed, being already debilitated from
his long exposure to the enervating
heat of the tropics. The admiral will
stop about two weeks at Hong Kong,
cleaning his ship and fitting out thor
oughly for his homeward trip. He will
also make stops at Singapore, Malta
and Gibraltar
