PITTSBURG'S INCREASE
 IN MULTI-M MILLIONAIRES

Among those who have made their millions in the Iron and steel industry can be mentioned the Fownes, Charles L. F9tzhugh, F. M. Hoffstadt. F. J. Hearne. T. B. Ritter. Joshua Rhodes, the schoens, ". P. Snyder. John 2. speer. Melvin Wells, who also owns the Phil adelphia Press; Charles H. zug, B. F. Jones' head of Jones &s Laughlins, ana J. B. Laughlins; James H. Lockhart. the olivers, William McConway, James IT. Nc cuteheon, George c. McMurtry, John Moorhead, the Parks, Painters. Chalfants and many others. Many of Pittsburg's millionaires made their money in oil well machinery. R. c. Gillesie, John II. Galley, Emmett Queen. D. P Reighard, the Jen- nings and many others combined the oil business with other industries and thus added to their wealth.
 The coke industry started H. c. Prick. Charles Donnelly, the Raffertys and the Cliver5 have large coke holdings.
 The coal industrz which is among the lsrgest in that section. was not respon- sible for any millionaires until consolida- tion became fact. Previous to that the coal ope1 ators were struggling with pov- oTty and had to have recourse tn all sorts of trade tricks to make both ends meet. Now Francis L. Robbins, Capt Samuel Brown, Harry Brown, J. B. Findlay, I. N Burton and few others enjoy wealth through the consolidation of coal properties at far higher prices than they could have been sold for under normal conditItr IFS.
 Tn the manufacturing industries there gre some miIlionaires. Thomas A. Arm strong made his in making corks, hay irg the largest cork factory in the coun- try. in Pittsburg. James Chambers. presi- dent of the American Window Glass company, and H. Sellers Mckee have followed the window glass business. MT. Mckee has also made barrels of money in electric traction Bnes. and, with Mur- ray Werner, has the franchise from the Russian government for electrifying the Russian capital.
 The wealthy men of Pittsburg did not rll become so in ths iron and steel indus- try, as the city can boast of varied industries as thy city in tho world.

 No appreciation of the rapidity with which millions of dollars are accumulated in Pittsburg is possible until a list Is made of the reputed miliionaires and how they made their money. A few of the largest property holders in Pittsburg do not make 1t their home, although their fortunes were made and are invested there Andrew Carnegie makes his home in New York and Scotland: Mrs. Lucy Carnegie. his sister-in-law, lives in Scot land; Mrs. schenley lives in London; Henry c. Phipps. because of the rigors Of the local climate, has had to remain away from Western Pennsylvania.
 There are many estates in Plttsburg that are valued at millions and which are not divided. When they are these will not make millionaires of the individual heirs. MT. Charles J. Clarke was killed recently while out driving He left many millions. made in railroading. Senator c. L. Magees estate amounts to more than five million dollars. Then there are the estate of Abraham Garrison. valued at millions, made in the foundry and ma chine business; that of Dr. c. G. Hussey. copper mine owner and manufacturer; the Denny estate, a great portion of Pittsburg, inherited from revolutionary times; the estate of Joseph Walton, made in the river coal business; the J. J. Van dergrift millions. made in petroleum and land speculation, and the estate of Joseph Horne made by dry goods.
 Probably in no city have men made money from such varied industries as in Plttsburg. Andrew Carnegie is respon- sible for making more millionaires than probably any other individual in the country. Almost every man who held a prominent position in his affairs is now a millionaire. The list includes H. c. Prick, John G. A. Leishman, minister to Turkey; Charles M. Schwab William E. Corey, F. T. F. Lovejoy, George Laud- CT, James Gayley, H. P. Rope. Alexander R. Peacock, Thomas Morrison, Thomas Lynch, William H. Singer, William L. Abbott, A. M. Moreland and Lawrence Phipps, and 1t Is alleged there are oth- era

wars the worlds national indebtedness has aggregated ten times what it was at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The seriousness of this fact may be bet ter realized when 1t is remembered that population has increased meanwhile but 15o per cent, while gold and silver, which form the basis with which the debt pay ments are supposed to be made, have only increased 300 per cent. It is hard to figure anything less than final repudiation when such facts are put side by side, unless some limit is set to the existing debt pace of nations

coast farmers are well pleased with
the wheat outlook, which, all things
considered is regarded as better than
az the beginning of the last crop year.
There is a higher level of prices for
wheat and a lower level for freights,
the latter contributing to make the
former possible. The California crop
is now being cut, and in all the more
favored sections 1t is showing full
average yield, and in some instances
ar excess Of the average. Harvesting
In Washington and Oregon will be

STORY FROM AFFAIR
J. j. GILL 4 PRISONER OF AUSTRIA
LIAM BUsHMEN MANY YEARS.
Heard His Brooklyn Wife Was Dead
and Married Agnin-FouGht in the
Philippines After Escape.

NEW YORK. March 19.-After twelve
years Imprisonment among the bushmen
in Australia, Joseph j. Gill, son of the late
Thomas Gill, a w%oll-known Brooklyn man
ufacturer, has been heard from by his
family. who had mourned him as dead.
Gill left home in 1886, and in 1893 his wife,
believing him dead. married again.
on Aug. IS, 1856, Joseph j. Gill sailed
from New York for Australia. where re
had extensive mining interests. The mines
were situated about five hundred miles from
Sydney, and Gill expected to be gone two
or three years. He left behind a wife and
two children, boys of seven and five years.
respectively. For two years letters were
received regularly. His mining interests
were prospecting, and he hoped soon to re-
turn to the United States, he wrote in his
last letter. A period in which no tidings
were received from Mr.. Gill, followed, and
then came a letter from the American con-
sui at Sydney, n. s.. w, stating that
Joseph Gill, a wealthy mine operator. and
four companions had been ambushed and
killed by Australian bushmen in Australia
not far from the mines which the Brooklyn
man controlled.
This was the last heard from Gill until
the news of Imprisonment which has just
been received. 1T came in the form of a
letter to Inspector Mclaughlin, of the
Brooklyn police. The letter was dated Dag
upan, Northern Luzon, Philippine islands.
The letter, which was written in NoVem-
Der, 1901. was addressed to the chief of po-
lice of Brooklyn. 1T was as follows:
I'm 1856 left my home in Brooklyn, for
Australia, where l was held a captive in
the interior by bushmen, until two years
ago. l then came To these islands and en-
tered the campaign with the Macabebe
scouts. Prior To AguinaldO's capture L was
severely Wounded and / am afraid am a
cripple for life. 1 am now making my way
back TO sydney. Australia, to my wife and
child. ] do not not know If my dear mother
is dead, but L would be glad to know her
address if she IS alive, or my brothers.. /
shall be in Sydney by the time you receive
this letter. Please address me in care of
the United States consul at sydney"
The Brooklyn police had little difficulty
in finding Gills mother. Cable messages
were at once sent to Gill at Sydney. No de-
tails have yet been received concerning
GilIs Imprisonment among the bushmen,
who murdered his four companions. After
his escape Gill is said 10 have secured in
formation concerning his family. The pri-
vate detective whom he is said TO have en-
ployed reported that his wife was dead,
and soon afterward Gill married a Sydney
woman. Gilrs love OF adventure led to his
enlistment in the Philippine service.
