wILMINGToN's WORRY.

IT seems that the City Council OF
Wilmington, N. O., adopted an ordi-
nance, making it compulsory under
penalty of $50. iae, for ice dealers
to furnish each Of their delivery wsg.
one with standard scales, and permit.
ting the customers, when 1t is 80 desir.
eG, to weigh or superintend the weigh
ing Of each block of ice purchased.
The ice- companY thereupon issued
orders that no ice-delivery wagon
should deliver any Ice at the resi-.
'deRees of the offending aldermen.
These aldermen are very angry and
is is announced that they will carry
the case into the courts upon the
ground that the company has no right
80 refuse the sale Of ice to any citizen
who makes application and prefers
Ihe usuAl price.
This has been our contention oil

ST. LOU s. TROUBLES.
A funny world thisl

"Over 500 Negroes in st Louis and
yet the white man DONE allow the col
ored man dogs show Not one store
will employ q color d girl as clerk. Not
one store in 81. Louis that will employ
. Negro only as porter. Not one bank
will employ Negro only "a j,nitor
Not one foundry, cooper chop OF ear
penter shop will give our boys o show
TO lesrn trade. No fac Dry OF any
kind will employ our young people.
The Transit Company employ no con-
ductor or mortormen from among our
people. Not one place OF business of
any kind will EN- ploy q Negro man OIL
woman. Then they say: The Negro
ought to work and our young girls be
upright and honest Dc the white
men and wom' think they are doing
the right thing by our peopl.f"
This condition OF affairs exists to q
greater or lesser degree throushou,
the country. There is but one RENE
dy, so fer as We are able to observe,
and that is for the colored people t.
combine aud employ themselves as
clerks. We must run our own stores,
operate our own factories, furnish our
own carpenter chops and subscribe
enough stock to put upon the surface
our own street car lines.
There are some OF our people, who
will not see it, and "cry down" any
effort made in this direction, but Q
change is ceming and ere long the
croskers will go to the rear.
It will be found, too, that the better
class Of white people are encouraging
the colorsd people in all legitimate ef
forts to improve in business, and in
the conduct Of enterprises on their own
account.

Keyser. W. Va, June 19.-An ava
lanche unparalleled in the West Vir

night at Hopeville, Grant county. IS
miles from here. Great sections of the
mountain side along the Potomac river
for two miles rushed down into the
beautiful valley. Thousands Of tons o.
forest trees, immense rocks and earth
came down and the home OF Mrs. An
drew Ours, widow, was completely
wrecked. The 22-year-old daughter OF
Mrs. Ours was instantly killed and
Mrs. Ours is in dying condition. A
little grandchild who was spending the
night with Mrs. Ours was grabbed BY
her when the FIRST warning came. but
escape was impossible, and when
found yesterday the grandmother was
buried to her waist in the debris, hold
ing the child in her arms above the
chilly mud and stone, in which she
was fastened so tightly that after
many efforts neighbors found 1t neces
sary to literally pull the bruised body
out. leaving her clothes buried. The
child only will recover. Miss Ours

SdrnS9ie Onices IN Ptttsburg-To
Absorb the Steel Hoop Company.
Youngstown. o., June 1o.-Informa
ton reached here last night from a re-
liable source that at meeting of the
stockholders of the National Steel com.
pany to be held at East Orange, N. J..
June %, prearranged plan to consoli-
date the National and the Carnegie
Steel companies will be effected. At
ter this meeting the officers of the Ma
tional Steel company which will then
be known as the Carnegie company.
VIII be removed to Pittsburg and join
ed with those of the Carnegie company,
all being under one management.
This explains WIZ the plans which
were practically closed for the removal
OF the national officers from New York
to youngstown were suddenly changed.
1t is evidently the policy of the Uni
ted States Steel corporation to abolish
ali high salaried officials and have the
affairs directed from the Carnegie of.
fees in Pr sburg The manner in
which matters are shaping themselves
goes still farther in establishing the
fact that Mr.. Carnegie is still in con.
troll and is personally represented by
Mr.. Schwah.
In addition 10 the consolidation Of
the National Steel company with the
Carnegie Steel company it is also un.
derstood that the identity of the Steel
Hoop company is to be lost in that of
the Carnegie Steel company after July
1. All contracts that shall have been
made by the two companies by that
time will be fu!flled by the Carnegie
Steel company.
Within the last ten days the sales
agents ofCe in Cleveland of the Car
negie Steel company and the Illinois
Steel company. with other Offices of the
Kind, have been consolidated. with one
agent in charge. The indications point
strongly to the domination of the Uni.

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
Gives Out Afidavits Attacking
Standard Oil.
Mr.. MOMENTS csNuNcrAruoN.

eiares That the Company Notorious.
~ Evades Payment Of Just Taxes
and Openly Violates the Law.
Washington. June 19.-The indus
trial commission has received and will
print as part of its permanent report
a number of affidavits making reply to
the testimony of Mr.. John d. Archbold.
OF the Standard Oil company. before
the commission in 1899. These at.
hdayits are ~ Hon. T.. F. Monnett for
mer attorney general of Ohio, James l..
Lee. of the Pure Oil company. M. l..
Lockwood. and Charles B. Matthews.
of Buffalo.
Mr.. Matthews testimony relates to
the operations of the Vacuum Oil com.
pany, which he seeks to demonstrate
is branch of the Standard Oil com.
! pany. Mr.. Lee says that it is not true
that he ever admitted that the Pure
Oil company is itself a trust, or that he
attempted to sell any of his independ-
emit oil company interests to the Stand
ard company. Mr.. Lockwood submits
affdavits to substantiate his statement
before the commission to the effect
that the Standard company was for a
long time putting oil in tanks to be
shipped to Germany for two cents a
gallon, while people in Texas and Ar
kansas, where there was no competi.
ton, were paying % cents a gallon.
Mr.. Archbold had said there was not
a word of truth in this statement.
Mr.. Monnett's statement is general
reply to Mr.. Archbold's testimony so
far as it applies to the operations Of
the Standard company in Ohio. He
says that not only the Standard COM
parry, but other oil companies. like the
Buckeye Pipe Line company, the Ohio
Oil company and the Solar Refining
company, connected with it, have
openly and VIGOROUSLY violated their
charter and have violated the statutes
OF the state, criminally and civilly, and
are now so violating them, and did not
dare to come into court and answer the
charges of such violations"
Mr.. Monnett says that the influence
OF these companies defeated Joseph p.
Bradbury for the supreme court of the
0~N~N~s ON~oNoS hS a. SupROSSu W DG
antagonistic to them. He also charges
that they have openly and VIGOROUSLY
evaded the taxes due the state by max
ing returns upon their property. in
many instances estimated at less than
10 per cent of it's real value, consider.
ing the earning capacity OF the prop
erty."
He asserts that the company has
evaded instead OF counting investiga.
ton of his bribery charges, and he
adds:
Through their pipe line charges
and by means OF their monopoly in
transportation the Standard Oil COM
binations continue their monopoly in
handling oil in Ohio, as every con-
sumner OF oil in this state can verify by
his pocketbook. They levy tribute up
on the owner OF the oil rock and exact
from the consumer of the refined oil
and It's bi-products this unnatural
profit. The public are it's victims; the
little band of law violators owning and
controlling shares are the beneficiaries
Of the plumber. The public for a shor.
time stand sghast at their very bold
ness and defiance. The government
alone can check their abuses"
