FRICK-CARNEGIE SUIT.

1t Will be a Battle Royal Among
Legal Giants-Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania VIII Decide the
Case.
Pittsburg, Pa, February 1.-THE an
nouncement that the long threatened
clash of the steel kings had been fin
ally precipitated by H. G. Prick filing
the widely heralded suit against An
drew Carnegie and the Carnegie Steel
Co., created a sensation in financial
and manufacturing circles here. The
suit is regarded as the most important
ever filed in connection with the steel
business, and, more money is at stake
than in any legal proceeding ever
brought in this country in which all
the parties were simply citizens. Steel
manufacturers view the trouble as a
bitter personal struggle for supremacy
and are watching each move with in
tense interest.
The legal talent called into action by
the suit is an array of the giants of the
profession. On Mr.. Tricks side are
John G.. Johnson, of Philadelphia.
David T.. Watson, of Pttsiburg, and
finally Willis F. McCook. for years a
personal counselor and intimate
friend of Mr.. Prick. Strange enough
Attorney Watson is the man h orig
inally drew up the now famous iron
clad agreement for Andrew Carnegie
and which he has now been retained
to find a flaw in, and have declared in
valid. It is said that Mr.. Watson
spent the greater part OF three months
in drafting this instrument, and when
finished declared that it was the
strongest paper of the kind he had
eve formulated.
AS yet little had come to light Of the
plans made by Andrew Carnegie TO de-
fend his company's interests. although
it is almost certain that Dalzell, Scott &c
Gordon have been at work for days In
the Carnegie defense. Other prominent
lawyers OF both this city and New York
are mentioned as having been retained
by Mr. Carnegie.
Late this afternoon the papers in the
suit we're served on the attorneys OF the
Carnegie company.
From n of the attorneys interested.
the statement was had that the action
of Mr.. Frick preclues the possibility OF
the case reaching a higher body than
the Supreme Court OF Pennsylvania

C. r.. Stewart, of Charleston, Dead
at the Hands of His Son-Claims
the Shot Was Fired In Self De-
Tense.
Special TO the Register.
HCARLESTON, w. Va, February
14.-C. r. Stewart, a retail grocery
merchant, was shot by his o Lewis,
a boy nineteen years old, at his home
on the South Side last night from the
effects of which he died this morning.
Stewart says he received a vulgar val
entine yesterday and the address on
the envelope appeared to be in the
handwriting of his wife. When he
went home last night he accused his
wife of sending him the valentine,
which she denied. He appealed to his
o Lewis to prove that Mrs. Stewart
sent him the valentine but the boy re-
fused to say that his mother sent 1t.
The boy and his father then had
some words when the boy drew a re-
volver and shot at his father, the ball
taking effect in Stewards leg. Stew
art retreated into an adjoining room
and the boy followed him and shot
the second time, this ball taking eff
feet in Stewards abdomen. Stewart
then rushed out of the house and fell
on the street. Some friends carried
the wounded man back into the house.
Physicians were summoned and they
pronounced the wound fatal, but stat
ed that there was a possibility of his
recovery if the abdomen was opened
and the ball taken out. They decided
upon an operation but while remov-
ing the ball Stewart died.
The Stewart family have had many
rows recently, the husband and wife
not having been congenial for many
years. Recently Mrs. Stewart said
her husband was insane and said she
was afraid of him.
The boy, Lewis tewart, was arrest
ed and lodged in Jail shortly after the
shooting. He claims to have killed
his father in self-defense.
