A telegram was received yesterday
morning at the boys home, 2610 EOff
street, by his father and the family
were greatly shocked by the sad news.
Otto was bright lad of fifteen years,
and was sent to the reform school by
his father because of the fact that he
had some wild companions who were
leading him in improper paths, and it
was thought best to have him taken
where he would be entirely removed
from evil associations and influences
for year or two.
The lad had been doing exceedingly
well at the school. wheret he was a
favorite, and had made fine progress in
learning the printers trade. He had
given little trouble to the instructors
or officials and promised to develop into
a young man of good character.
strange incident connected with his
death is the fact that about week ago
his mother dreamed that Otto was
drowned. SO impressed was she by
her dream that she wrote to the Off
Gals at the school, inquiring If her boy
was indeed drowned. She was informed
at Tat time that he was well and
doing nicely. To-day her dream was
verified by the sad news of his death.
The father. Mr.. J. Frohnapple, is in
the employ of the Wheeling Ice & Stor-
age Company.

A SERIOUS FIRE


At BenwOOd junction Yesterday
sMornfng-Four Cars burned with
Their Contents.
Just at dawn yesterday morning. as
Baltimore , & Ohio Brakeman Milton
Robbins was passing along
the side of the transfer shed at the
Junction. which stands just east Of the
round house. he thought he saw water
running from the door of one of train
of freight cars He crossed to it and
flashed his lantern in it. Immediately
there was an explosion and the car
was mass of flames. He barely es-
capped being burnt. What he supposed
was water was in reality oil. 1t is not
known how much was in the car.
Three other cars soon caught and
the cars with contents are total loss.
One was loaded with oil. one with
corn. one with nails and the other
with thirty new buggies. The transfer
shed was also badly damaged and the
records were destroyed, which will
make it inconvenient to trace lost
freight The loss. will amount to about
S. 900.
The only person injured was an en-
pIoye by the name of Garrison. A
buggy crate fell upon him and he had
his shoulder dislocated.

THE STATE Of OHIO AFTER

LIEvEs THE ANTI-TRtS ST LAW

COLUMBUS. o., August 10.-lt de-
velops that independent OF the legal ac-
ton which is TO be brought against the

Antitrust League, action is also con-
templated by the Secretary of State. IL
is believed by that official that the
United States Steel Corporation is do
ing business in Ohio contrary to law
The corporation has never been ad-
mitted as a foreign corporation TO DO
business in Ohio, although the property
controlled by it in this State Is repre-
sened by several million dollars worth
of stock, upon which, If the Ohio COM
panies actually have been absorbed. tine
State is entitled to collect tax OF one
zenith of one per cent, under what
is known as the Hard law, the constr
tutionality of which was recently sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court.
The Secretary of State has come 10
the conclusion that the United states
Steel Corporation is liable, as a fof-
eign corporation, to the payment OF tne
tax. which would amount TO proDaoiy
more than 100000.
II was stated by Chief Clerk Alread'
of the Secretary OF states ONCE 70
night, that notices probably would De
sent to the Steel Corporation during
the coming week, calling attention 10
its obligation under the law and re-
ouiring compliance with it. Should the
plea be made that the Ohio companies
have not been absorbed and are oper-
ating under their original charters, the
United States Steel Corporation VIII De
attacked unaer the Valentine antitrust
law. which PROMPTS the operation OF
companies holding the stocks OF other
companies in trust.
rhe constituent companies or the

Special to the Register
CADlZ. Aug. 10.-A rather bright
boy of about thirteen years of age,
with light hair and a slight lisp III his
speech, drove into Cadiz Friday with
an old bay horse and an old buggy. He
left his outfit at Quigley's livery barn
and said he was from East Liverpool,
and that his parents were coming here
to live, and that thy would b her to-
day. The boy stopped at the Swan no.
tel, and there told about the same story
he had already given. He even went to
the depot, where he pretended to be
looking for his folks. They did not
arrive, and he told the liveryman be
wanted his horse and buggy to go out
in the country to see his cousin and
would be back this evening. Two hours
after the boy had gone it was discover
ed that about 81 had been taken from
the money drawer in the Office OF the
Swan hotel. Telephone messages traced
the boy south of Harrisville, headed to-

where the gold had been hidden. Ropp
told Winters that they had strong
case against him. and that he would be
sent to prison for thirty years. He
said:
You will be an old man when You
get out, and il will do you no good
TO hide the gold. We know ii is hidden
in the water near ale works. and We
will search every inch. You may be
sure the gold will be found before you
get out of prison"
Winters finally weakened. and told
Ropp that he had taken the gold and
would take him to the spot where 1t
was hidden. Winters, in company with
superintendent Ropp and force OF

This mill will start non-aniOn
Monday morning.
JOSEPH kEFFERS,
Superintendent.
The officers of the United States
Steel Corporation are carrying the
war into Africa. they have accepted
the challenge of the Amalgamated AS
soeation. have calmly watched their
plants close down and as calmly an
nounced that in the future they would
recognize no union of their employees.
They have refused point blank to
arbitrate the differences between the
workmen of the constituent companies
of the parent corporation and have de-
cided to throw off all Amalgamated
Association ties and work independ-
emily of that organization.
The notice nat was posted on the
entrance TO the Republic mill tonight
was fac-simile of the notice that was
posted on the entrances of all the
heretofore union mills of the National,
the Federal Steel, and the National
Tube companies mills. 1t is the most
decisive step that the trust has thus
far taken.
