Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1903-08-07

Schwab has had n meteoric career. He
started as n common furnace lalaorer
with the Carnegie company, and before
he was 40 was elected president of the
great steel combine, at a salary report
ed to be $1,O00,O00 annually, but, as a
matter of fact much nearer 100000. He
was born at Loretta, Pa, graduated at
st. Francis College at the age of II,
and then entered the steel works as a
laborer. He worked up to the position of
chief engineer, and in 1887 Carnegie
made him superintendent of the steel
works and his salary was fixed at $780,
000 with fees contingent upon earnings.
He also had heavy holdings of the stock
which brought him good income.
Schwab wena abroad and was royalty
entertained by crowned heads, and the
general impression is that the life and
prominence were too much for him, and
it is now believed he has forfeited the
confidence of Andrew Carnegie who
would never have permitted his retire
ment otherwise. Recently the wrecking
of hia United States Shipbulding COM
bine proved a sad blow to his financial
aspirations.

burned to death, but his sleeping com
panions were saved. The Sandusky was

Waterman on deck attempted to extin-
guish the blaze, but failed. Then he ran
to the crews quarters and sounded an
alarm. The sailors were aroused just in
time, as their quarters were filled with
smoke. Kent alone failed to scramble to
the burning deck. He is believed to have
been suffocated in his berth. The San
dusky was a wooden vessel, built in 1873
, and owned by NJ. A. Bradley of Cleve-

TRADE KINGS TO MEET.
Entire British Empire to Take Part
in Convention in Canada.

in Convention in Canada.
The trade kings Of the British empire
are to meet in Canada. Never before has
Il congress of the Chambers of Commerce
of the empire been held outside of Great
Britain, and the coming convention will
be one of the most important events OF
the year in the commercial circles Of the
whole empire.
Advices received from England and
other parts of abe empire indicate that
this gathering will be of a most repre-
sentative character. The idea Of coming
to Canada is proving immensely popular
with British commercial men, and al
ready more than 100 Of the English
Chambers of Commerce have signified
their intention of sending delegates. The
British Chambers of Commerce of Kim
berlcy, South Africa of Maseru, Basut-
GLAND, of Port Elizabeth, Capt Colony; Of
Colombo, Ceylon; of Alden, and of many
other British countries will also send rep
resentatives.
The visit of this great body of dele
gates to Canada will be an event in Ca
madam history the Importance of which
can hardly be overostimated. The infiu-
ence of the bodies which these coming
visitors will represent Is OF such magnl-
tude that their deliberations will proba-
bly, have decisive effect upon several of
the great questions of trade and colonial
relations to the mo1herland R&at are now
agitating the political and commercial
circles of the empire. Extensive ar
engagements have been completed to enter
tain the delegates and to impress upon
them the great possibilities which this
country offers for capital and enterprise
and for commercial development.

Frank Foss, while on his way home at
Northboro, Mass, heard screams in the
direction of Grange Hall on School street.
Fastening in that direction he came upon
two bodies lying in a yard close to the
sidewalk. According to the police they
were the bodies of L. =. Egan and Mrs.
Sadie Booth, both of Spencer. Mrs.
Booth was % years old and had been
living for the past month with her sister
at Northboro. Her throat was cut al
most completely across. A razor was
