One of the most splendid private dwelling
houses ever erected in this city is 10 stand at
the south corner of Fifth-ave. and Eighty
ninth-st. rough plan of the building has
already been drawn. 1t will cost about
100000 and the interior decorations and hxt-
ures and furniture will swell that figure by many
thousands. S. Osgood Pell & Co, who nego-
tiated the sale of the plot. would not divulge
the name of the purchaser would any
other person who was known to be directly IN
terested in the transaction, 1t was learheu'
however that the buyer was one of the pis
steel men. There many rumors current Us

c. NJ. Schwab. president OF the new Uhlleu
States Steel Corporation. Mr. Schwab was seen
last night at the Waldorf-Astoria. He denleu
that he was the purchaser. He added that ne
did not know who the buyer was. Other persons
who were mentioned as being the probable puS
ers were ex-Judge E. II. Gary. John w. Gates
and II. c. Frick.
Soon after Andrew Carnegie bought the land
bounded by Ninetieth and Ninety-frst SITS ana
Fifth and Madison aves for a home site. the
section of Fifth-ave. about Ninetieth-st be-
came known as The Highlands Of Fifth-ave.

Clouds began to appear in the Wall Street

Certainty regarding the outcome of the Bur-
lngton deal" Yesterday morning the storm
broke. and all day long it continued. causing
heavy losses in various quarters. The bull
thusiasm had been gaining in intensity so mark
edly during the days of trading last week that
experienced students OF market conditions felt
that the movement which has been in progress
for so many weeks must finish its term,
but few expected the reaction to come sud-
denly as ii did.
1t had apparently been supposed by important
interests that the public would he in the mar
ket again yesterday as buyers. after the triple
holiday. and those interests naturally put in
selling orders for execution at the opening. But
the public had taken alarm since Thursday and
came in sellers. The result Of the selling
from both sources and for both the long and
short accounts was a startling crash at the
opening.
Burlington opened an even three points down,

down to a more steady tone. 1t was plain that
some of the larger interests had taken adj

STEEL TRUST PLANS.
CE-PREsIDENTs OF NEW CORPORA
TION NAMED-METHOD OF OPERAT-
ING PLANTS DETERMINED.
rBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l

tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
Cleveland Ohio. April S.-The three vice-pres-
idents of the United States Steel Corporation
have been selected and the method OF operating
the enormous plants in the combination mas
been determined. This action taken in
New-York on Saturday. and the news or IL
reached Cleveland this morning. The first vice
president is to be James Gayley, OF the Carnegie
company who will have charge of the mines
and wharves; the second vice-president w. r.
Walker. metaIlurgcal engineer for the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Company will have charge
of the operation of the plants The third vice
president, w P Palmer, president of the Amer
lean Steel and Wire Company. will have charge
of sales.
The plan is to have each of the mills or COM
nanies taken into the big trust 10 maintain
separate organization such as it has now. but
over all of these will be one official. VINO VIII
have general charge and oversight of each OF
the branches The plan does not necessarily i'm
PLY cumbersome organization but on the con-
trary, exactly the reverse. The policy VIII be
dictated from the general headquarters at
New York. and the plants will have to abide
by the mandates Of the superiors.
The individual companies will not have their
central organization disturbed in any way hav-
inl, the triple system of dealing with the func-
tions Of steel mill. but the different depart
ments will be compelled TO recognize the otlcial
head which is hereafter to be in New-forK-
This head will that sales are not made IN
territories so far removed from the mill pro-
ducing the material that the freight rate VIII
eat up the profits OF production. The ore asso-
citation will stin retain its function OF selling
ores but in all proba bty the prices will be
dictated from the same central body In New
York. The most striking feature OF the whoie
arrangement IS it's providing against conpetl-
tive methods working their way into the conduct
Of the business of the company.
The only thing that has not been determined
so far is the method OF operating the boats
But the essential part of this deal has been
cared for. It will doubtless soon be announced
that all OF the boats will be collected into one
fleet It has been believed that the wharves
mines and ships would be given to one OF four
Cleveland companies to handle. but the trust has
decided to handle it's own affairs as TO ore ana
wharves
The most marked indication which the steel
men see In these ice-presidential appointments
Is that the new concern is to be on a strictly
business basis sentiment and favorttism being
thrown TO the wind.

morning when Miss Cottman arrived At the
school children making merry in the
building. which was nearly surrounded by
thin sheet of water. Unconscious of danger the
little gathered for their classes, and school
work went on. The oldest child present was
fourteen years
An hour later Miss Ccttman frightened
by hearing the water pass under the house with
a roaring sound. which gradually increased.
She rushed to the door. The building
rounded. The land was twenty feet away. and
the water then was waist deep The girl at first
concluded to wait for the assistance of some
passing farmer None came. and in an hour
she felt the building shaking. The supports
were giving way. Then she rushed outside and
sprang into the food. after making the children
promise TO wait inside The little ones pressed
their blanched faces against the window and
screamed as they saw their teacher battling
with the flood
Miss Cottman found the water nearly over
her head but she got through. Then she seized
a horse which one OF the children had ridden to
school. took rope. and leading the horse back
plunged again into the torrent. The rope she
fastened around the horses neck and the other
end she made fas. 70 the door of the building.
BY this time the building ready to drift
off into the flood.
II required desperate work to swim the horse
back 10 the shore. and Miss Cottman was forced
10 hold its head above water to keep 1t from
drowning. The animal dragged the building
close to shore. and II was tied to tree and the
children sent home.
Tonight the citizens are talking of the man
in which the heroic girl may be rewarded.
The County Commissioners will be asked to give
her the price of the building she saved.
