Stuart eagerly assented. and they
stumbled on up the tunnel. Their prog
ress was very slow, for Eric was en-
tirely a dead weight, and neither Stu
art nor his companion was powerful
man physically. They had gone but
short distance, however, when lights
appeared farther up the shaft, and
soon they were surrounded by a group
Of miners, accompanied by DR.. Saxon.
There was no time for more than the
briefest explanations. The party took
Eric from Stuart and the minister, and
soon they were standing out on the
side of the hill In the starlight. The
cool night air blew about Stuart, and
he thanked God for his life. Farther
up on the hill heap Of blazing ruins
marked the place where the engine
house had stood, while at distance
the ladder hole smoked and famed like
a small volcano, showing that the tim

The doctor and the miners with Eric
hurried down the hill. while Stuart
followed with the minister as fast as
he could. But now that the strain was
over he felt weak and faint.

Before he came back Stuart and
Burke discussed the fact Of the engine
house Ere. There was something to be
cleared up about that. 1t seemed also
to Stuart that the mass of iron ore
which fell upon Eric was something
more than loosened fragment of the
mine. The doctor was right about it.
The absence Of the men from the spot
when the fire broke out also needed
explanation.
The doctor had come back. and the
meal was progressing while the three
men were trying to solve the facts of
the burning and the injury to Eric

WHAT CARNEGIE GETS.

PITTSBURG, Pa, February 15.-The
Pittsburg Leader says this after
noon that from a reliable source it was
learned that the deal with Andrew Car
negie will be closed to-day by the pay
ment to Mr. Carnegie of $22, 500, 900 in
cash. He is to receive in addition ST.
$50 per share fer his stock and will be
paid in bonds. The minority stock
holders will be paid in stock in the
new company, receiving $50 per cent.
The Leader further says:
so far as the concerns outside of
the Carnegie company are concerned
the matter is largely that of blind
pool. The value of the different stocks
is a puzzling matter, but it has been
proposed that an average of the prices
on the New York exchange be given.
A number of New York banks are hest
tating about entering the underwriting
syndicate.
Latest figures place the capitalization at
$500 o00,e0, and it is considered to be ex-
tremely doubtful whether it Will be con-
sidered expedient to take in all the COM
panfes at once.
In addition to the cash payment of $22,-
100000 to Mr.. Carnegie, he will receive
H.5o0 for each of his 5000 shares of stock,
making total of over $152, eco 600 for his
Interest. from which the income will be
nearly $4,000 a year.

CARNEGIE STEEL CO.

NAMED DY COURTESY,
ONLY.
THE BIG STEEL DEAL CLOSED
CHARLES NJ. SCHWAB, OF THE CAR
NEGIE COMPANY. TO HEAD
THE COMBINE.

NEW YORK, February 15.-"The
Carnegie Steel Company, as such, has
ceased to exist except by courtesy"
This statement was made to-day by
a high official of the American Steel &
Wire Company. By this it was implied
that all details for the transfer of con-
troll of that company to the Morgan
syndicate have been completed, and
that the only delay in making complete
and final announcement is due to mat
tiers affecting the other companies
which it Is believed will be taken in.
There were many rumors throughout
the day, one most persistently circulat-
ed being to the effect that certain steel
and wire stockholders are demanding
better terms than the syndicate may
deem fit to grant. 1t was believed,
however that any difficulty in that
quarter would be overcome.
Mr.. Morgan's private Office in the
Mills building was the scene OF an
other conference to-day, but no infor-
nation was obtained there or from any
other authoritative source.
The world tomorrow will say:
Charles M Schwab, president Of the
Carnegie Steel Company, was formally
selected yesterday as the head of the
big steel combination.
'SMr. Schwab enjoys the confidence
of every one with whom he has dealt, :"
said one of Andrew Carnegie's close
friends and business associates last
night.
'tHe is the only man in the country
qualified by ability, training and tenn
permanent to manage the new empire of
industry. He has the confidence of
Messrs. Morgan and Rockefeller, the
love of Carnegie and the good will OF
the $4,000 or more employees of the Car
negie Company"
President schwab and Henry c.
Prick will return to Pittsburg this eve
ming. Their work here is finished.

SWEET" EATERS.


Way to Correct ChiIdren's Taste.
Sometimes children become willful
and refuse nourishing food, demanding
sweets, caQdy, ice cream, ETC., much to
their detriment. 1t is a great help In
such cases to have a food that is nat
nrally sweet and attractive. A case in
Phila. will illustrate.
The daughter of Mrs. NJ E. Searles,
living at 1880 Mifflin St.. was a delicate
child from infancy and had been in
dulged in many things. She gradually
got thinner and more fretful daily, re-
fusing food other than sweets, etc.,
finally contracting whooping cough,
which undermined her health to such
an extent that her attending physicians
agreed that her cough had developed
into bronchial catarrh, and that only
short time would ensue before con-
sumption would relieve her sufferings.
In despair, the child's aunt was SEN,
for, and knowing the wonderful nutri-
tive value of Grape-Nuts food, she pre-
pared some and induced the little one
to eat it. At the first taste she said:
"Oh, auntie, this is so nice, / want
some more" from that time the
child acquired an appetite and began
to improve. She was fed on Grape
Nuts steadily until now she is a per-
fectly healthy, strong child, attends
the Girls Grammar School, and lis a
bright and apt pupil.

WINDOW GLASS PRICES.

PITTSBURG, Pa, February 15.-The
two window glass combinations have
notified the National Window Glass
Jobbers Association that specifications
on the last consignment of the order
for 10000 boxes must be in by Febru-
airy goth. 1t was also announced that
representatives will meet the executive
committee of the jobbers organization
between that date and March list in
New York.
There has been an unusual demand
for window glass this year, which gives
assurance that the factories will be
kept in operation until June Goth, max
ing the present fire the longest in many
years. Representatives of the two
combinations admit that prices will
probably he higher and it is reliably
reported that an advance ranging from
Is to 20 per cent will be made.

cinnati tonight. 1t was announced
to-day that he is determined there
shall be no more prize fights in Ohio
during his administration. Within a
few days he will advise the sheriffs of
of every county and mayor of every
city and town that the laws of the
State forbid prize fighting and they
must be obeyed.
Ohio laws governing prize fighting
are somewhat difficult of interpreta-
ton. The distinction between prize
fighting and sparring exhibition is
not very clearly drawn.
However. the Governor declares that
boxing matches in Ohio during the re-
mander of his administration will be con-
fined to sparring contests between bona
fide members of bona fide athletic clubs.
The Governor will use all the power of
the State, IL need be, to prevent the other
kind, and boxing gloves of FIVE ounces or
less will be drug on the market.
Had troops been sent to Cincinnati it
is declared there would have been an ex-
hibition of quick mobilization never before
equaled in Ohio, Arrangements had been
perfected for sending four regiments and
a battery. Gov. Nash intended going to
the front and taking personal command.

false idea has existed for years
that rheumatism. neuralgia, nervous
headache, sciatica, lumbago and kin
dred troubles should be treated by the
application of liniments and lotions to
the affected parts, and many sufferers
imagine that when the pain has been
partially relieved they are cured.
But medical science proves that
these diseases arise from the accumula-
ton of poisonous waste material in the
system, and must be treated internally
in order to strike at the base of the
trouble. In no other way can the pain
be permanently banished.
For twenty years Tongaline, a pre-
paration scientifically prepared from
ingredients highly recommended by
the medical profession for their won
derful effects in curing rheumatism and
kindred ailments, has been making a
record of marvellous cures. No NOR
phine, opium or other narcotic Is con-
tanned in Tongaline; it is composed of
tonga, cimicifuga, sahcylate of soda,
colchicin and pilocarpin, ingredients
known to every physician for
their rapid action in remedying
conditions due to uric acid or other
poisonous matter in the blood. Ton
galine throws off the impurities
through the kidneys, bowels and pores,
and promptly effects a cure even in the
most obstinate cases that have resist
ed treatment for years.
At this season of the year. when
snow and cold make life miserable for
persons in health, the tortures endured
by rheumatics are increased ten fold
the intense aches and pains are al
most always present, in many cases to
such an extent that the sufferer is
compelled to take to his bed.
Tongaline will prove a blessing IL
secured Immediately, as one or two
doses will at once lessen the pain and
in two or three days the patient will
be able to be about. Continuance Of
the treatment will work a positive cure
in brief time.
Aches and pains in the joints and
soreness of the muscles are indica-
tons of rheumatism, and persons who
occasionally experience such symp-
toms should take prompt measures to
combat the approaching foe, else they
may find themselves helpless sufferers.
Torgaline taken in time will avert the
attack and will thoroughly cleanse the
system of the impurities which cause
the trouble

will be sent free to anyone writing to
