Show That He Means TO Con-
troll the Iron Trade.

Pittsburg,. Pa. Aug. 1.-THE Post to-
morrow will say:
Control of the production of pig metal
in this country is being secured by the
Carnegie company. 1t is seeking to buy
ali the big blast of the furnace plants liz

now have negotiations pending for the
purchase Of the plants of Haverly & Co.,
at Buffalo; the Newburg furnaces at
Cleveland, a plant at Carondelet, near
st. Louis and two others in the Manhon-
ing valley. Thefact that the Carnegie
has contracted for 1900, 100
OF iron oreannually, when six million win
amply supply its present plants, staken
as an indication that it expects to ac-
quire other plants Of sufficient capacity
to use the remaining tonnage. With its
facilities for getting ore, and the posses
sion of blast furnaces of enough capacity
TO supply the demands Of the trade, it
viii be in a position to dictate prices and
limit materials for all Of its competitors.

pushes his millions and Lazarus his rags.
The poor man is as rich as the richest,
and the rich man is as poor as the pau
per. The creditor uses his usury, and the
debtor is acquitted Of his obligation. The
proud man there surrenders his dignities,
the politician his honors, the wording
his pleasures; the invalid needs no ply
stefan, and the laborer rests from unre-
Quilted toll. Here at last is natures final
decree in equity. The wrongs OF time are
redresser, injustice is expiated. the irony
of fate is refuted. the unequal distribution
OF wealth, honor, capacity, pleasure and
opportunity, which makes life so cruel
and inexpllcable a tragedy. ceases in the
realm of death. The strongest there has
no supremacy, and the weakest needs no
defense. The mightiest captain succumbs
to the invincibie adversary who disarms
alike the victor and the vanquished.'

I knock unbidden once at every gate!
If sleeping wake, if feasting rise before

And they who follow me reach every

Mortals desire, and conquer every foe
Save death; but those who doubt or hes

Condemned to failure, perjury and woe
Seek me in vain and uselessly implore
1 answer not and return no more!

BARLEY KING BANKRUPT
Henry ,. O'NeaI Fails for Nearly Half
"A "A Him

Chicago, Aug IA petition in bank
ruptcy has been filed in the United States
distric court by Henry ]. o'Neill, the
barley king, and known far and wide on
account of his transactions in that
| cereal.
The amount of his liabilities is stated
to be $442, 1918, the assets $500. Though
financially embarrassed for some time, it
is said that the final crash is a result Of
the publicity given Mr. OneilFs affairs
when his wife. Evangeline Claire O'Neill,
was forced into bankruptcy last winter.
The petition staes that $4,000 of his la
bilities were contracted jointly with Mrs.
Mrs O'Neill had large accounts in her
husbands name, and last fail, when the
promised payments for the goods were
not forthcoming, her creditors became
alarmed.
Mandel Bros, her largest creditors in
Chicago, stared bankruptcy proceedings.
She left Chicago suddenly and was found
finally in Montreal. She is now in Paris.
Her creditors realized $1,000 from the
sale of goods taken from her home here.
She took $4,000 worth of wearing APP
parel to paris and there held a sensa-
tional auction. Among her weaknesses
were $50 pairs of silk stockings fifty par
asols, seventy five hats and gowns innu-
merable.
Henry J. O'NeiI, the ''barley king of
Chicago, a plain, unassuming man, who
never cared TO spend money on himself.
and through his control Of the barley
market in a fair way to become a mnl-
timilionaire, dates his downfall from the
day seven years ago when he married his
wife, then a widow of Pontiac, Mich,
who supported herself and one child on
IS a week.
The life Of extravaganza began with
the honeymoon. They went to live in
sumptuous apartments, and Mrs. ONein
started in to make amends for her life Of
poverty. Silver harnesses for her horses
and gowns and hats were bought until
the apartments grew too small and they
moved to the Auditorium. One room was
devoted to her hats alone Another room
held costumes more elaborate than Chi
cago had ever seen.
The storekeepers Of Chicago hailed Mrs
O'Neill as a prodigal customer. At one
time she bought rare books costing
$4,000 and paid twice as much more for
rugs and tapestries The enormous bills
she accumulated were paid with prompt
ness, however, and no limit was placed
on her credit. Her husband had a legft-
innate income of over $4,000 a year The
wild extravaganza quickly exhausted this
and he began TO draw on his working
capital

TRANSFERRING ELEcTRicirY.
BERKELEY TO BE LIGHTED BY
MEANS OF a CABLE UNDER
RIVER

The Norfolk Railway and Light Com
pany is having made special wire and
cable to conduct voltage from its en-
larged plant, on Cove street, now being
erected. to Berkeley for electric light
ing purposes. The cable will be laid
under the eastern branch of Elizabeth
river. and the large wire conductor will
be protected from contact with the
water by suitable encasement. II will
carry at least 1000 volts of electricity.
The transferring of electric power by
cables under water for lighting pur-
poses, etc. is not n new thing, but at
the same time Is by no means COM
mon. The old receiving ship Franklin,
lying in the Elizabeth river off the
navy-yard. is lighted by electricity
transferred from the yard by cable,
with the capacity of 100 volts.
The new bridge to connect Berkeley
and Norfolk will be the means by
which the power to run the Berkeley
street car system will be transferred
over trolley wires.
