PITTSBURG. Pa, Feb. 16-Dalzell
Scott. and Gordon. attorneys for the Car
negie steel Company. have acknowledged
service OF the papers in the suit brought
against the company by II. c. Frick, for
merly manager of the company, but they
insist that papers must be served on all
the defendants, some of whom are in Eu-
rope and say that it will be several weeks
before the suit is completed
Since the open rupture between Carne-
gle and his manager, II has come TO light
that in 1884 Frick. who was then the new
head OF the H. c. Prick Coke Company,
of which Carnegie was the principal stock
holder, was SO greatly offended by the con-
duct of Carnegie and one of his employees
that he left Pittsburg without notifying
Carnegie went 10 Europe. and remained
there until Carnegie sent over friend
and apolagized to him.

Persons who know both Frick and Car

The conflict between Frick and Carnegie
is being watched keenly in Philadelphia by
men interested in the manufacture of steel.
II is thought by some of the Philadelphians
that Frick irrespective of the outcome of
his suit agnst Carnegie is going ahead
to establish. in conjunction with other cap
italists. another steel plant for the manu-
facture of armor plate. especially for the
United States Government. 1t is said that
he believes that Andrew Carnegie's utter

Company. 1t is asserted that the Carne-

with the Bethlehem Steel Company, but
