LEAPED INTO A DITCH.
An Erie Passenger Train Is Wrecked
Two Wen Killed and Several Badly
Ininrad

Cleveland, Dec. 17.-Two men were
killed, four badly hurt and a score or
more slightly injured because a train
on the Erie railroad ran away and
was ditched at the Union street
crossing Tuesday afternoon.
The New York and Pittsburg limit
ed got away from the control of she
engineer several miles outside +he
city and came tearing down the track
at terrific speed.
At Miles avenue It struck Anthony
Madden, a wire drawer. The train
cut him in two, and despite all the
efforts of the engineer to stop, it con-
tinued on its wild career to destruc-
ton. The grade all the way into. the
city is a dangerous one. The c. & p.
tracks cross the Erie's at Union
street where the wreck happened. AS
the train rounded the curve, Engineer
Warren II. Goss saw a Z. & p. train
directly across his way. He had the
air on, but the terrific momentum
carried him on with frightful speed
He saw a wreck was inevitable, and
with a shout to his fireman to jump
he sprung from the train, receiving
injuries in the fall which caused his
death last night.
The next instant, his train hit the
derailing switch, set for just such
an emergency and the engine seemed
to leap from the rails, head-irst into
the deep ditch, parallel with the
tracks, plowing up a great hole in the
bank
The train was pSde up of engine,
baggage car, smoking car, and day
coach and was the first section of
the limited. Every coach followed the
engine from the track.
There were so passengers on the
train and the first warning they had
was when the crash came and their
cars began to turn over.

SOLD TO THE TRUST.
The Union and Sharon Steel Plants
Are Absorbed by the United States
Steel COrporation-The Deal Involves
Many Millions.

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Judge Ebert II.
Gary, chairman OF the United States
Steel Corporation, announced yester-
day the purchase of the Union and
Sharon plants of the Union Steel Co.
near Pittsburg, the transaction in
volving a bond issue of $45,0O0,000.
Judge Gary gave out the follow
ing statement concerning the trans
action:
THE finance and executig ge commit
tees of the United States Steel Corpo-
ration, accompanied by the presi-
dents and other promineri officers of
the subsidiary companies of the steel
corporation, recently made an inspec-
tion of the Union and Sharon steel
plants now controlled by the Union
Steel Co., and as result the finance
committee has purchased the same
for the steel corporation on the fol-
lowing terms:
These plants are located near
Pittsburg on the Monongahela river,
and at Sharon, Pa, respectively; they
were started some time before the
formation of the United States Steel
Corporation and not in opposition to
1t. These properties have rod, wire,
nail and other works in operation as
going properties; when fully com
pleted t'.ey will have five modern
blast Fl naces and 25 open hearth
furnaces, with capacity to manufac-
ture $500 kegs of nails daily; new and
modern tube mills, bar mills, tin
mills, sheet mills, plate mills, ETC.;
they have about 5000 acres of coking
coal in the Connellsville region, be-
sides terminal railroads in the coke
region; $500 acres of fuel coal on the
Monongahela river, limestone prop
critics and valuable developed ore
mines in the Mesaba and Marquette
regions containing about 10000, 900
tons of ore, two lake steamers and
steel railroad cars.
"The steel corporation pays the ex-
act cost of the manufacturing plants,
to be determined by auditors appoint
ed for the purpose. For the real es-
tate, ore properties and the coal lands
they will pay something more than
the cost value, but not to exceed the
present value. The stockholders of
the Union and Sharon plants agree
to furnish about $1O,OOO,OOO new cash
to be expended in the completion Of
improvements and further develop
ment of the properties in such man
ner as the steel corporation may de-
termine."

THEY LACK ELASTICITY.
Comptroller of the Currency Says Ma

Issue Circulation in Excess OF Value
of Bonds Deposited.

Oh kOhus deposited.
New York, Dec. 19.-William B.
Ridgely, comptroller of the currency;
President Wilson, of Princeton uni
versity; Rev. Robert S. MacArthur;
Maj. Gen. Chaffee and John S. Wise
were the principal speakers at the
annual banquet of the New York
State Bankers association, given at
the Waldorf last night. Five
hundred members and guests of the
association were present. Comptrol-
Ter Ridgely spoke on "Elasticity in
the Currency" saying in part:
"The one great objection that can
fairly be made to the national bank
ing system is the lack of elasticity in
the currency which is issued.
"Any satisfactory solution of our
present currency problems should in
clude some plan for the retirement of
the legal tenders. | believe the
bank note circulation can be greatly
improved by few quiet, conserva-
tive changes which will add to its
elasticity, or rather introduce some
elasticity where there is now prac-
tically none.
81 think the best plan which has
been suggested for modifying our
bank currency is to allow the banks
to issue more than the par value of
the bonds deposited. The first con-
sideration should be to make these
notes absolutely secure to the holder.
The government can safely guaran-
tee or insure the notes if protected
by the bonds held for a part of their
value, and in addition by guarantee

A Weak
Stomach

Indigestion is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unneces-
sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel
ing of fulness aud bloating from
which some people suffer after meals.
Absolutely cures indigestion.

AGRICULTURAL,
SQUASH BUG IN SUMMER.
Hand Picking becomes Difficult, and
Spraying Is a Resort.

Hand Picking becomes Difficult, and
Spraying Is a Resort.
In some regions. and among them
New Hampshire. the squash bug has
become one of the most notable insect
pests of the past season or two. Messrs.
Weed and Conradi of that state have
been considering its many dark and
devious ways and would treat IL as
follows during the summer: AS the
season advances the combating of the
pest becomes a more difficult problem.
The full grown bugs have laid eggs
early in the season. These hatch and
the young nymphs are less conspicuous
than the adult. At this time bugs of
all sizes are present in greater or less
numbers.
employed. many of these nymphs con-
| cealed below clods. old leaves or other
places or even when exposed upon the
surface are likely to be overlooked.
To avoid this ii Is desirable at this
time TO use the kerowater spray that
vines.
| An per cent mixture of kerowater
| that will kill the bugs is fatal to the
| tender squash plants. The odor OF
kerowater, however. is very offensive
| to the bugs. a mixture having u typ
| ical Kerosene odor--say. per cent
| when sprayed oil the plant and ground
will cause those bugs which are con-
cealed to come forth and try to escape
! from the odor. Some OF those ON the
plant will come To the upper surface
of the leaves. while the others will run
over the ground. These can be easily
picked, and to make sure of the de-
struction of the small nymphs spray
| the ground with an per cent kero-
water mixture.
The ground need not be saturated
SO as to affect the plant. but a light
| spray of that strength will do the
work effectively. When a kerowater
spray pump is at hand. all that is nee
essary Is TO shift the gauge and no
new mixture need be prepared.
The best time to apply this spray Is
late I'm the afternoon when the sun is
low; it will be less serious 10 the plant
than IL would be during the hotter por-
ton of the day. The kerowater will
not evaporate SO readily. and the ef-
fects will therefore be better. As the
stragglers come during the hottest por.
tion of the day. such a spray will in
clude these.
When a spray pump is used that
throws stream Of kerosene and water
In the form of spray. 1t should never
be forgotten that when the action OF
the pump Is discontinued the mixture
that is in the tube may separate into
the water and the kerosene, the latter
rising to the top OF the tube. The
first stream. therefore. after such rest
would contain kerosene In a more OF
less concentrated form, which would
tend TO kill the plant tissues. In every
case where the pump Is started the
first stream should be directed upon
the ground, or ut least away from the
plant.

Lob,oIiy and short Leaf Pine.

Loblolly pine grows much more rap
idly than short leaf, reaching a diam
eter OF twelve inches In forty-four
years. whereas the short leaf requires
over sixty years. Although the heart"
pine or short leaf commands a slightly
higher price than the ''bull' pine or
loblolly. the difference is only just
about enough TO pay for sorting IL
out. The lobioiiy Is therefore by far
the more valuable tree OF the two and
should be favored In every possible
way. The more there is OF 1t In the
reproduction the better it will be In
the future forest. because the crop will
become merchantable I'm much short
er time and consequently the returns
will be greater.-F Z. Olmstead.
