DEAIH OF !. ]. WILLIAMS
sUrERINTENDENT OF THE STEEL
WORKS OF THE AETNA-sTAND- !.
ARD AT MING0.
PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY
After Weeks Illness of Pneumonia.
Was Prominently Connected With
q karge Number Of Iron and Steel
Mills Throughout the Country.
Sketch Of His Career.

S. ]. Williams, superintendent of the
steel plant of the, Aetna-Standard at
Mingo Junction, died at his home in
that city at S:15 o'clock yesterday,
morning. He was 46 years of age;
and is survived by his wife, and son,
Howard K, who has charge of the
continuous sheet bar mill at Mingo
Junction. Death was the direct re-
suit of an attack of pneumonia about
a week ago, which baffled the skill of
the attending physicians.
Mr.. Williams was practical iron
and steel man, chemical engineer,
and was regarded as one of the most
competent men in his line in the
country. His experience extended
over long period, commencing when
he had scarcely reached manhood. He
received his first lessons in the iron
and steel business in the old Ports
mouth and Ironton plants, going from
those mills to Bessemer steel plant
in Troy, MY. He was next empoyed
in the immense factory of Henry Diss-
ton Sons, near Philadelphia. After
leaving the employ of this firm he
started west, and it was at this point
in his career that he became connected
with the Standard Iron Company in
the capacity of superintendent.
This was prior to the date of the
consolidation of the Standard. Aetna
and Junction companies into the pres
eht big corporation. He occupied his
position until the consolidation was eff
fected in 1891 or 1892. Subsequently
he accepted position with the New
Philadelphia Iron and Steel Company,
of Muskegon, Mich, building that
company's open hearth steel plant and
rolling mill. He also constructed a
rolling mill at Muscatine, Ia, for
western capitalists.
About two years ago Mr.. Williams
again entered the employ of the Aetna
Standard. He was put in charge OF
the merchant bar mill department, and
later was made superintendent of the
steel plant.
Personally, Mr.. Williams was modest
and unobtrusive. He was essentially
a domestic man, and gave little atten-
ton to matters not connected with
the great iron and steel industries,
with which he became very familiar
was held in the highest esteem. His
remains will be taken to Portsmouth,
O., and will be inferred Wednesday
afternoon in the family burying
ground in that. city.

A BAD FALL FROM A LADDER.
A Workman Injured BY An Accident
Yesterday Morning
On the South Sidc-His Skull Thought
to Have Been Seriously Injured
However, There Are Hopes For
His Recovery.

Wilson Carol, a paper hanger residing
at Martins Ferry, sustained injuries of
q serious nature by an accident occurring
on the South Side yesterday morning about
eleven O'Clock. He was engaged in paper
ing the walls of an upstairs room in the
S. w. Boyd property, No 1884 Main street.
at the time, and was standing on a step
ladder. when it suddenly broke under his
weight Mr. Carroll fell to the floor, alight-
ing on his head, and was rendered uncon-
scious. The unfortunate workman was at
once carried down to the first floor of the
building occupied by David Holmes and
family, and was cared for, and Dr. McMii-
Ian was summoned. He was given medical
aid in due time and recovered conscious
ness about half an hour after the mishap.
While Mr.. Corrol sustained no cuts on his
head it is thought his skull was injured
by the fall. Later he was taken to his
home at Martins Ferry. While his injuries
are considered to be serious, it is thought
that with care he will recover. 1t will re-
quire several days probably before the re-
suit of his injuries can be determined.

Work Will Be Commenced on the
Upper Ohio River Dams-Riyer
News.
PITTSBURG, March 12.-Captain
William Martin, of the Davis Island
dam, who has supervision of the work
of building the new dams being con-
structed ON the upper Ohio river, says
that work will be begun on them just
as soon as the stage of water will per-
NIT. He hopes that even better pro-
gress will be made on the structures
this year than was accomplished last.
The STAGE of water, he says, has
much to do with pushing the work,
and he hopes to see the condition such
within a few weeks that work can be
prosecuted vigorously. 1t is likely
that the dam at Merrill will be COM
pleted this year. Nearly all of the
work is being done under the continu-
Gus contract system.
The Ohio river has fallen to barge
shipping stage, but there are no load
ed barges to ship and no towboats are
at Pittsburg to take out tows of coal.
All the boats are in the south, or their their
way up with empties. Rivermen are
of the opinion that there will be no
further freeze-ups this winter, and a
season of great activity is predicted
until the water gets SO low that the
coal shipments will have to be stopped.
Empties are being taken into the pools
