TO STEADY CAROLINA PINE
MAMMOTH COMBINE OF SOUTHERN
LUMBER COMPANIES.
Formation Will Be Announced Soon.
Banking Firm of New York
Principal Backer.

Baltimore, Nov. ia mammoth
consolidation of southern lumber COM
panies will probably be announced
within a week Or 10 days. Fourteen
companies at least are to be included
in the combination if the plans do not
miscarry, and several others, making,
perhaps, a total of 20 which are ex
pected to be added. It is said the
deal is the result of a meeting held
in this city prior to the election.
Among those who participated in
this conference were August Belmont,
of the New York danking firm !;
Charles r. Flint, DR.. j. 0. White and
Joseph Auerbah, all of New York, and
representatives of nearly all the COM
panies mentioned above. After the
conference the party proceeded to Nor
folk and inspected the plants of some
of the lumber companies. Conferences
have since been held in New York
and negotiations have, it is said, prac-
tically reached a successful termina-
ton. It is understood that all the
capital necessary to secure the con-
s%olilation will be forthcoming and
that the Belmonts will finance the
deal, the total value of the various
plants being about $25, 600, 600.
The consolidation is to steady the
North Carolina pine market. which is
said to have been much ~demoralized
by competition. ,

PLEASED WITH The WORK
PARENTS OF LITTLE LOUISE FROST
EXPRESS THEMSELVES.
Father Does Not Care Who Condemns
Him for Part He Took in
Burning Porter.

Denver, Nov. 17-'Well, no other
parents will suffer from that brute's
crime" These were the words of
Mrs. Frost, today, when asked for an
expression Of opinion of the punishment
of the negro who confessed that he
was the murderer of her child. "Of
course, I was not consulted as to the
punishment to be melted out, and I did
not know what fate awaited him.
she continued.
II did not CARE" she said, lust
so he was removed from the face OF
the earth. Nothing can atone for the
death of my baby, and 1 did not have
the feeling of revenge which Sc many
people said ought to possess me
Whatever was done with that brute
was right, no matter what. Certainly
he did not suffer what Louise did, and
she was innocent, while he was guilty.
Maybe I would have some pity were I
not her mother. No one but the par
ent of an outraged and murdered child
can know just how 1 feel"
The murdered child's father, Robert
w. Frost, returned to Denver today
from the scene Of the lynching.
"a great load has been lifted off
u.s." said he, land as for me l don't
care who condemns me for starting
the blaze. No other father will have
to do what I did on account Of that
niger, and as I said before if the
brute had been lynched for his first
offense in Kansas, my baby would be
alive today. and our hearts would not
be broken.'
A mass meeting has been called for
tomorrow afternoon at the First Bap-
fist church to protest against the
work of the Limon mob and to discuss
the question of the restoration of CAPT
tai punishment. Governor Thomas
has promised to address the meeting.

who escaped from the state penitent-
larry Friday afternoon, are still at
large, having eluded the Gordon of
guards, and have either escaped from
the barn in which ehey had been sur
rounded, or persisted in the fire which
reduced the building.
Some time last night the fugitives
evaded the officers and went to Brigh-
ton, where they hid in Robert Moore's
barn. This afternoon Mrs. Moore saw
them and leaving her little boy to
watch, she started for a neighbours.
Meeting some of the guards, she told
where the men were. The guards
for assistance and began shooting
into the barn. Unable thus to force
the convicts out, a handkerchief sat
with coal oil was lighted and
thrown into the barn and in a few
moments the structure was in flames.
Officers from the city have gone to aid
in running the men down and all
guards are armed with Krag-Jorgensen
carbines.

a Pueblo Legend.

Through all the grotesque darkness OF

in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for
October, runs a bright thread OF poetic
Legend and one legend, since it is woven
around the ruined estufa in the ruined
Peublo Of Pecos, has right TO De toid
here.
Pecos was founded by the man-god, the
great Montezuma himself, and he there
fore probably felt protective interest IN
it; at any rate, when the usurping Span
iards lay upon the conquered Pueoios q
cursed rule of restraint and wrong, Mon
tezuma invoked against them the aid or
his brother gods in heaven. These told
him to plant q tree upside down beside
the chief estufa of Pecos, and to light
holy fire upon the altar, and if the fire
were kept burning until the tree fell, then
would there come to the rescue of the OPP
pressed a great pale-face nation, and de-
liver them from the Spanish thrall-
So the fire was lit. and a sentinel was
posted to guard its sacred flame, and the
tree was planted-under the circumstances
| the planter would be excusable in planting
the tree as insecurity as possible. But
year after year passed, and the tree re-
NAMED standing. Sentinel succeeded sem
| tinel and the flame lived on. Generations
withered away, yet deliverance seemed no
| nearer. One day there came a rumor from
! old Santa Fe that the city mad surrendered
! to white-faced people. Was this the band
! of delivers? That day at noon the sacred
tree toppled and fell. Spanish rule was no
more. The prophecy had been fulfilled
# there be an unbeiiever of this legend,
| let him go to the ruins of Pecos and see
for himself that whereas the city was
built upon a mesa so barren that no
trees are there nor ever have been there.

fallen body Of pine of mighty growth. The
like of it is not for many miles around.

to have some sort of a uniform, and it
was impossible for him to wear q skirt and
ride astride Il horse. The tailors of his
Majecty's armies wagged their heads
long time over this problem, and finally
decided that the only way out of the diff
