The friends of ex-Market Master J.
w. Brunette and the Republican city
officials who are familiar with the con-
dition of his books and accounts, a
that Mr.. Brunette has collected no
money which he has not turned over
to the city receiver, so far as the in
yestigation made by the committee on
accounts has revealed. They admit,
however, that he has been extremely
negligent in the conduct of his bus
mess, and that some thirty stall rent
ers in the Center market house are
very far in arrears.
Stall renters who are not paid up
on the books in the city clerks office
have all received statements showing
the amount of their indebtedness.
Clerk O'Brien stated yesterday that
about ten have called and paid up,
and that in no instance was the claim
made that the rent had previously
been paid to Mr.. Brunette.
1t is learned that some stall renters
have been permitted to be in arrears
for periods extending in some cases
for more than a year. AS a matter of
fact the market master is not the
proper person to collect stall rents, but
it has been the custom for that Off
cial to attend to collections. The ag-
gregate of stall rents not paid or ac-
counted for will require four figures to
express.
The matter of bond for the market
master appears to have been misunder-
stood, according to the city clerk. Mr..
Brumelle's ibondsmen did not agree
to go on the bond of his successor
after his election and qualification, but
simply during the period between De-
tober 1st, the date of Brumelle's resig-
nation, and the date when his success
sor was chosen. Mr.. Conrad will quail
ify and furnish bond to-day or to-
morrow.

THE RIVER.

The marks on the wharf at midnight
showed six inches and falling. The
marks from above show a rise all along
the river. This rise will reach here
some time to-day, and rivermen are
watching for it with the hope that they
may be able to resume navigation, for a
time at least.
Captain Burnsides stopped at the
wharf a few minutes yesterday on his
way from Pittsburg down the river in
a skiff, on a trip to study the river.
The local inspectors examined the

of Wheeling at the wharf yesterday.

Last evening, when the Republican
escort for Senator Spooner formed on
Twelfth street, the Elkins Cadets were
among the companies out. There was
a mix-up, and it finally ended by Wash
ington District Rough Riders disband-
ing, refusing absolutely to march.
There are two stories of the affair. One
is that the Elkins Cadets would not
allow the North End boys to partici-
pate, and the other is that the North
End Teddies refused to march in the
same line with the Cadets. Anyhow,
the boys from Washington dispersed
to their homes, ONE Of them vowing
never again to turn out.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Nearly every student in the school SYM
pathize with those who took part in the
contest last Friday and who after maxi
ing such a magnificent effort We're not
awarded prize. The ability of those
who took part Is known to almost every
person connected with the school and
they believe that had Miss Morris taken
as her competitive recitation some hui
morous selection the result would have
been far different As it was almost ev-
orybody was surprised that she was not
awarded the prize Nevertheless the
decision OF those who by mutual con-
sent. were selected by the school. should
be respected and those who took part
in the Kissing, although many were not
members of the school. deserve the repri-
manding that was given by the principal
on Monday morning
The report cards which from now on
are to be given to the pupils at the close
of every school month, We're distributed
Monday. This does away with the
monthly notices which were formerly
sent home to the parents IL the pupil
made a mark below seventy per cent.
This mode of marking the result of the
months work Is greatly preferred by the
students because they are able to know
of certainty what percentage they have
made during the month.

LUCKY INVESTMENTS.
President Thomson, was Carnegie's
friend from that tipe on. and Mr..
Scott liked him better than ever. 1t
was the latter who gave him an OPP
portunity to buy ten shares of Adams
Express company stock, then worth
$50 share and paying l per cent
month. He secured the money by
| mortgaging his mothers home. and
| this laid the foundation of his present
fortune. He rose to be superintendent
| of the western division of the Pennsyl-
vania, aided in the movement of troops
at the outbreak of the rebellion, re-
built the railroad from Annapolis to
Washington, and returned to Pennsyl-
vania to continue his active railroad
work there.

the sleeping car, met him there and
interested him in bis patents. Mr..
| Scott organized a sleeping car COM

banker friend to pay for his share Of

has always been able to live upon the
| interest of his investments. He was
worth after the formation of the Sleep
ing car company about $4,000, but his
associates were men of much greater
wealth and they were always willing to
loan him money or back him in enter
prises he favored
The Pennsylvania oil craze came. Mr..
Carnegie was impressed with the inn
portance of owning an oil well. He
i joined in with several men, and be-
tween them they raised $4,000 and pur-
chased the Storey well, on Oil Creek.
This investment paid them in one year

Mr.. Carnegie was more than a mill
lionaires when he concluded he had
enough of oil, and he turned his atten-
ton to the building Of iron and steel
bridges for railroads, an industry just
beginning. A trip to England also con-
WINGED him that iron rails would soon
be discarded and steel rails would take
their place. He organized the Key
stone bridge works, and then built a
Bessemer plant, for the making Of steel
rails. Competitive plants started. but
he bought them up. even the Home
stead works, which have since been
so inseparably associated with his
name. In 1888 he owned the seven steel
works in and about Pittsburg and ten
years later saw monthly output at
them of 100000 tons of pig iron and
100, 900 tons of steel rails.
THE TWO MEN COMBINED.
For years prior to 1882 the Carnegie
interests had been heavy buyers Of
Connellsville coke. 1t was their policy
then. since developed into the gigantic
proportions Of today. to own every sup
ply of raw material contributing to
their finished product. They began by
acquiring furnace properties to supply
their upper and lower Union mills with
pig iron. Later, when the H. c. Frick
Coke company was organized, they
purchased heavily of its stock. but not
heavily enough to have control unless
II. G.. Frick was taken into their inter-
ests. Thus the community of interest
Ii. ra, as,t, ,v,I
Frick. Alone. each was an obstacle to
the other. United, their interests be-
came stronger.
The union was quietly effected, and
the Carnegie interests passed on from
the coke fields to acquire lake steam
ers, ore beds, railroads. waterworks
| and everything else needed to make
their position impregnable. They even
extended their operations into local and
national politics, and became one of the
strongest advocates in the country OF
the doctrine of protection.
Thomas NJ. Carnegie, a brother of
Andrew. and junior member of the Car.
i negle firm. died in 1856. and Andrew

| answered all Of his requirements, and
| he gave him closer control of the bust :

| of the Carnegie company, and he has
held that position ever since. Since
that time the growth of the Carnegie
business interests. from the ore mines
on the shore lines of Lake Superior to
the steel-ribbed sky-scraper on Broad
way. New York: from the crash OF
giant engines at Homestead and Du-
