BY MOORE
Eighty Thousand Shares of
Syndicate Holdings Are In
voived In the Trans-
action.

Cleveland, March 6--The deal for the
sale of the properties of the Toledo
Railways and Light company by the
Everett-Moore syndicate to Chicago
capitalists will in all probability be
consummated at Toledo today.
Out of the 10000 shares, all told
the Everett-Moore people have $4,000
every share of which is involved in
the deal. The price to be paid is $50
share, which represents an outlay
of $2,4o0,000, or just about $1,000,000
less than the amount involved in the
deal for the Big Consolidated. Be
cause of the fact that something like
$4,000, 900 will be left after obligations
on which Toledo Railways and Light
company is held as security have been
Cancelled the deal will afford greater
material relief than the sale of the
Big Consolidated.
IL Is u Seltieu IIifuS IndC the ldI ger
share of the equities in the deal will
come into Cleveland, affording the
greatest relief to many Cleveland
banks.
For time being nothing definite is ex-
pected in the negotiations looking to
tho sale Of either the Northern Ohio
Traction company or the Detroit
United Railways. The directors of the
rorthern Ohio Traction company will
meet in Akron tomorrow noon, the
Cleveland members of the board plan
ming to leave in a special car in the
morning. Outside of the long deferred
election of officers nothing of particu-
lar significance is anticipated. Some
discussion of valuation in the possible
event of sale may come up for con-
sideration. There is but little doubt
that +. w. Moore, as president, and
the other officers will be reelected.

CHEAP IMITATOR
OF HELEN STONE
Pretty Maggie MarpoIe," Of
st. CiairsviIIe, Has Been
kidna ped Again.
(Stam Specially

Bridgeport, March 6.-"Pretty Mag
gle Marpole," about whom the press
throughout this section of the state
had so much to say a few months
since, has been kidnapped" again. II
will be remembered, few months
since, Maggie ran away from her home
near st. Clairsville, with a man NAM
ed George Angus. Both were captur-
ed at Bridgeport and in order to make
the best of bad matter, the girl very
promptly concluded that she had been
carried off against her will. Angus was
held to tho common pleas court, but
the indictment returned against him
was nolled after the true state of af-
fairs became known.
Now comes Newton Coe, so the
story goes, and he duplicates Angus
stunt by taking the girl for better or
worse. In. choosing her, he left be-
hind a wife and two or three children.
Coe is about fifty years of age, the
girl 1S. They left over the b. G. O.,
Monday evening, and, it is said, were
headed toward Cincinnati.
1t hardly would be proper to say
that this latest occurrence has created
a sensation at the county seat. Oc-
currences Of the kind have been so
frequent within the past year, that
they now cause but little more than
passing interest. Those who have
been insisting that Belmont's county
seat Is a slow town, soon will be COM
PEELED to admit that it has grown
quite metropolitan in at least one re-
spect.

that it was the intention of the COM
pany to commence work in a few
weeks, as it will take nearly a year
to complete the furnace.
He also stated that 1t would take
not less than 3,000,000 gallons of water
a day to run the furnace. and this will

SITE NOT SETTLED.
The location of the plant has not
been committed to any particular site
This will be determined upon by the
company after its organization.
1t is estimated that pig iron can be
produced at from rs cents to $3.50 per
ton cheaper than it can be laid down
in Canton from any Of the other fur
naces in this section of Ohio, for the
reason that it will all be sold at home,
saving the rates. The Dover, Cherry
Valley and other furnaces from which
Canton now draws much of its crude
iron have no home market for any
of their products. In Canton and VI
cinity it is estimated that over 800
tons of pig iron are consumed every
day.
This furnace will be of great value
to the business interests of Canton
and the other manufactures. already
established here and will do much to
secure the location of other iron in
dustries in the city.
