CONSOLIDATION OF
DEPARTMENT STORES

New York, April 10-Ofticial notice
of the rumored combination of depart
ment stores was given yesterday by j.
Pierpont Morgan & Co, who solicit
subscriptions of the stock of the AS
sociatcd Merchants Company. The
company is capitalized at S20,000,OOO
and proposes to acquire dry goods
businesses or interests in this and
other cities. The prospectus states
that a one-half interest has been Sc
cured in both the ii. b. Claflin com
pany and the Adams Dry Goods Com
pany, and that James McCreery e
Co.'S Twenty-third street store has
been bought outright.
According to source closely con-
nected with the dry goods trade, the
syndicate being formed by John Claf-
lin intends to purchase Il controlling
interest in each of the stores to be
included. A new controlling company
will then be formed, the common
stock of which will be exchanged for
the stocks of the constituent compa-
MES, while some of the preferred will
be put on the market.
One consideration which makes the
transaction somewhat complicated is
the difficulty of determining fair val
uations for the various stocks. 1t is
not often that these securities change
hands, and well informed dry goods
men say that it is impossible in many
cases to name even an approximate
selling price.

BIG ROCK SLIDE AT VICTOR
DESTROYS A WHOLE FAMILY

and sisters, who were in the doomed
house.
The home of the Smiths was
crushed like n fragile plaything in the
hands of a mighty giant. and the oc-
cupants met instant death.
The little girl who stood in the
doorway was, however, by some
strange freak of fate, pushed ahead of
the mammoth slide and carried by it
to the engine house of the Monument
mine on the opposite side of the gulch,
where she was picked up, bruised and
bleeding, but not fatally hurt.
The alarm of the awful accident was
quickly carried to the city and neigh
boring mines. Superintendent Tre-
varthen of the Portland, the nearest
big mine, called off all men at work
on the mine and set them at the task
of eXcavating for the bodies of the
buried family.
\ thousand spectators, men and
women, who could not join in the
work, nervOusly looked on from every
surrounding point of vantage.
1t was, perhaps, about twenty min.
utes after the work of rescue began
when the first body, that of Mrs.
Smith, was taken out of the debris.

an hour more of diligent search to find
the body of the boy, Warren, and the
remains of the father were not taken
out until 8 o'clock.
Before darkness came on. electric
lights had been placed in position so
that the work could be continued with

Remark of the Kaiser.

Berlin society is discussing a remark
made by the emperor in conversation
with Herr Ballin, manager of the Ham
burg American line. Herr Ballin is a
great favorite of the emperor, who
said to him: You ought to have a
still higher position" Your majesty
evidently does not know" began Herr
Ballin in reply. "What?" interrupted
the emperor, that you are Jew? Oh.
! know that, but that does not matter
to me in the least. You can tell every
body that" The correspondent of the
London Daily News who relates this
little incident says that what the anti
Jewish organs say is better imagined
than described.

OLD AND FAMOUS BRIDGES.

Great Structures Built by the Ancients
Are Msrv~ls In Engineering.
The grandest bridges of the Romans
were aqueducts, but after centuries of
unrest the noblest conceptions of ar
chitecture were realized in the Gothic
churches. There was little demand
for roads, bridges and still less for
acqueducts. Yet the monks did not
build cathedrals and monasteries only.
To them we owe the introduction of
fiat arches. The Romans had prefer
red semi-circular arches, which rarely
exceeded seventy feet in span. The
founder of the Brothers OF the Bridge,
st. Benezet, adopted for his Rhone
bridge of 117S. at Avignon. elliptical
arches which had their smaller radius
of elevation at the crown instead of at
the launches. The famous Ponte Vec-
choi at Florence and the original Au-
gustus bridge at Dresden date from the
twelfth century. The aqueduct of Spo-
leto, which looks as if many high and
narrow windows had been cut out of a
massive wall, is thirteenth century
Gothic work. So is the DEVILS bridge,
near Matorell. in the province of BARGE
Iona, Spain, with its apparently reck-
less pointed arch, which is crowned at
its weakest part by heavy dollhouse.
The first cast iron bridge, really COM
pleted in 1879, however, and still stand
ing, is, according to Engineering, the
well-known Coalbrookdale bridge over
the Severn. The arch consists of five
ribs. 1t found many imitators; the
Pont des Arts at Paris, with nine open
ings, and the Southwark bridge of 1914,
with a center arch of PA feet and a
rise of twenty-four feet, are fine exam
pies Failures of some of these bridg-
es, however, brought another material
to the fTont-puddled iron-which
helped us to suspension bridges. The
first specimens, the Tees bridge at
Middleton of 1741; Telford's Menai
straits bridge; further, the bridge over
the Danube at Buda-Pesth, the hand
soonest Of its type probably, supported
by two rows of chains on each side,
were link bridges. Wire cables came
over from the United States about
1915. Some of these bridges collapsed,
almost 9ll, e. g., the Sarine bridge at
Fribourg, Switzerland, with a span of
2O5 meters $50 feet), had to be re-
enforced.

Some names instantly suggest
sentiment. That of Logan stands for
exalted patriotism. This was the key
of his success. Party politics to him
was nothing when the Union was in
danger
in Washington. with most onerous
and exacting senatorial duties resting
upon him, he was devoted to the wants
and necessities of his old comrades.
His sympathy, his services and his
limited purse were never denied them
in their need. He was among the first
commanders of the Grand Army of the
Republic. and to him we are indebted
for that beautiful service which on the
Both day of May each year brings to
the graves of the soldier dead, among
whom he now rests in everlasting COM
radeship, the offerings of an affection
ate people and the undying gratitude
Of a nation.
LAS n popular orator his voice has
been heard in every state and territory
of the Union. always for his country
and for the flag he loved.
The highest eulogy ever paid him
was by his father. The latter in his
will divided his properly between his
widow and children equally except
and | quote from the will-'John Alex
can provide for himself and his moth
er, If necessary. This provision is not
made from want of affection, but be
cause of unbounded confidence in his
future success"
What a remarkable tribute from
father to son, That expression OF faith
was enough to quicken the young
mans noblest aspirations and call out
the best that was in him. And how
worthily he vlndicated the confidence.
To have inherited. to have deserved
and TO have fulfilled that commenda-
ton from his fathers love and faith
We're better than any inheritance of
lands and tenements, stocks, bonds
and money. Beloved of father, wife
and children, beloved of his comrades
in war and peace, and beloved of his
country, his whole life realized his
fathers prophecy and its words would
adorn any monument to his fame"
