SERIOUS SHORTAGE
OF FOUNDRY IRON
Pig Metal Also Remains Very
Scarce-.locaI Plants Are
Handica pped.

There is serious shortage of foun-
dry iron in the country and it has af-
fected the plants in Canton and
throughout central Ohio to such an ex-
tent that all have been dangerously
near the point where 1t would be neces-
least. The managers of the plants
have had to do great deal of scheming
and maneudering to keep going. The
iron cannot be bought in large quanti-
ties and they are buying up all the
small lots to be found in the country.
No quantity is too small for them to
purchase for all are stocked with or
ders and cannot afford to close now If
possible in any way to avoid it.
There does not seem to be any relief
from the famine in sight. The stock
the local plants have been able to
pick up will not do them but a short
time and unless they can get q supply
from unexpected source 1t will not be
at all strange IL two or three of them
are not laid off within a week or two.
The cause of the shortage is the un-
precedented demand all over the coun-
try for iron and steel. The mills that
have been supplying the foundries
have not been able to keep up with Or
ders and the shortage cannot be made
up when all the foundries are pound
ing away full tilt.
A dispatch from Bellaire says the
blast furnaces there have been working
poorly for O week and have not been
getting out nearly their full supply of
pig metal. Pig iron is scarce all over
the country and the failure of the sup
ply from the Bellaire furnaces may re-
suit in the plants there closing down.

Cleveland, Feb. 20.--Everything now
points to the consummation of deal
at the meeting of the bankers COM
mittee this afternoon, whereby the
control of the Big Consolidated will
change hands. And in all probability
the Elkins- Widerer syndicate will not
appear in the deal, hut that an offer
made by what Is known as the An

cepted by the bankers committee.
The quiet work of Horace Andrews
and friends has, 1t is understood, re-
suited In positive offer to buy the
controlling interest OF the Cleveland
electric railways at $50 a share.
The committee held a lengthy ses-
sion yesterday afternoon. Al the con-
clusion Of the session Chairman New
comb simply said: Nothing final was
decided upon at our session. Tomor-
row afternoon, however, a deal OF
great Importance will undoubtedly be
closed and thereby the affairs Of the
Everett-Moore syndicate will be in O
great measure satisfactorily solved"
1t was afterwards learned, however
that final action was delayed on the
Andrews-Stanley offer simply because
Of request that out of courtesy to

given few hours more tiuie to submit

SALEM'S GHOST.
This 'Un Will Not Dewn.

The Salem Herald says: The ghost
which was seen sometime ago at the
West Main street crossing still keeps
up its nightly wanderings and visits
to the scene, but strange to say, its
visits no longer create any alarm nor
do they strike terror to the hearts of
those who happen to witness the
strange sight. Saturday night its
ghostship was out for prowl for the
good of its health, and becoming some
chilled took refuge in the caboose of a
train crew which happened to be
standing in the local yards. The crew
did not take kindly to this visitation
and soon Miss Ghost left for other
fields to conquer. 1t is said that other
train crews have met with similar Wis
itations and the fact that the ghost
stalks along the tracks only has led
to its identity, as many have seen It,.
Those who have witnessed the ap-
partition unite in proclaiming it is a
well known woman of North Howard
street, despite the fact that she has
ever had her face thickly yelled. The
nocturnal visits have been occasioned
by her desire to meet certain members
of the train crews which arrived in the
city during the night and wait on the
sidings for orders.

Plans Are Now Held BY
Boston Company Mr..
Whiting Interested.
(Staf Specially


Akron, Feb. 20.--An official of the
N. o. r. company stated Thursday that
the plans for the proposed Canton,
Massillon & Akron Electric railway
were also included in the deal Just
closed, whereby the Canton Akron and
Canton Massillon city lines were sold
to Tucker-Anthony company, of Bos-
ton. This means" he added, that
the N. o. T. will not build any extern
sions this year. We hope, however,
to complete double tracking the A., b.
e c. lines"
The sale of the plans of the Canton,
Massillon &c Akron is very important
feature Of the deal. At least it has
aroused considerable conjecture rela-
tive to what the Tucker-Anthony peo-
pie will do with the plans. julius
Whiting, of Canton, it will be recalled,
was interested some time ago in trying
to secure privileges of Turkey Foot
lake. He is now interested with
Tucker Anthony company in the Can
ton-Akron and other properties in the
late deal.
AS the plans Of the Canton, Massil-
Ion & Akron provide for the connec-
ton of Akron. Canton and Massillon
with Turkey Foot lake by an electric
railway, it is of considerable interest
just now to know what Mr.. Whiting
will do.
