FOUND IN AN ASYLUM.
Moses Fowler Chase IL Discov-
cred in q French Sanitarium. =

Paris, March 27.--United States Con-
sui General Gowdy on Wednesday sue
ceeded in locating in private santa
rum in this city Moses Fowler Chase,
of Lafayette, md, whose whereabouts
las been the subject of a diligent
search for several years. Two French
physicians, Drs. Antheaume and Fish
er, examined the youth and pronounced
him incurably insane. The institution
has handed Chase over to Mr.. Gowdy's
care. Secretary Hay has ca bled to the
consul general an authorization to act
as the guardian of the youth. The
French courts will to-day appoint him
as guardian.
Moses Fowler Chase is the central
figure of a celebrated case which has
occupied the courts of Indiana and
Ohio. He is the grandson of Moses
Fowler, leading capitalist of Indiana,
after whom the city of Fowler is
named. The grandson's share in the
inheritance has been the subject of con-
troversy. Four years ago his father
lost track of the youth and has since
been endeavoring to find him. A. de-
tective from Chicago remained here
two months prosecuting the search,
later turning over the task to an agent
here. His fathers attorney, Addison
G. Harris, former minister to Austria,
requested Consul General Gowdy last
January to take up the search. This
has been prosecuted Systematically and
has resulted in the discovery of Chase.
These facts have been cabled to Attor-
ney Harris and the state department.

Burlington Flyer Wrecked Near
Thompson, ILL.,, and a Number OF
Persona Are Badly Hurt.

San Antonio, Tex, March 28.-The
Sunset limited of the Southern Pacific
and another passenger train collided
at Lacoste, 10 miles west of here, at
9:55 o'clock Thursday night. Three
passengers, all Mexicans, were killed,
and nine injured. The bodies of the
dead were burned. The dead are:
Guadalupe Cantee, Monterey; Antonio
Arizpe, Sabinas, and Manuel Trevino
Santo, Sabinas.
Burned to q Crisp.
The three dead Mexicans were rela-
tives of Gen. Geronimo Trevino, of
Monterey, who was on his way to San
Antonio, accompanied by his wife and
son. The Trevinos were not injured.
The dead men were in the COM
partment of the private car of Gen.
Trevino. The Pullman car in the rear
telescoped the private car, crushing
them to death. Their bodies were not
recovered until they had been burned
to crisp in the fire, which destroyed
the entire train, including the engine.
The fire originated from the oil in the
tender.
Running at Great Speed.
Both trains were eastbound. The
first, the Eagle Pass train. was stand
ing on the main line at Lacoste. The
cause of the stop at Lacoste, which is
only a small place, is not known. The
Sunset limited was travelling at a
great speed when it crashed into the
Eagle Pass train.
The engine of the limited crashed
through a caboose which was hitched
to the rear of the Eagle Pass train and
the rear sleeper. This car in turn tel
escoped the Trevino private coach,
killing the Mexicans.
The engine of the limited was de-
stroyed. Most of the injured were on
the limited, their injuries resulting
from their being thrown from their
seats. The injured were brought to
San Antonio.

.A COMBINE Of COMBINES |
Big Steel Companies Merge Into a
Corporation Known as the Ma =

CAPITALIZATION WILL Be $63, 900, 600.

mense Saving in Yearly Fees-W.
E. Corey, President of the New
Company.

Trenton, N. j., March 27-Articles
of merger were filed in the Office of the
secretary of state Thursday, merging
the American Steel Hoop Co., National
Steel Co. and the Carnegie company.
The merged corporation is to be
known as the National Steel Co., with
a capitalization of 500, 100000. The
combined capital of the old companies
amounted to $252,OOO,O 900.
By this merger the new corporation
will save over $1,000 each year in fees
paid to the state of New Jersey.
The directors of the new corpora
ton are w. E. Corey, C. M. Schwab, E.
n. Gary, w. w. Blackburn and Thorn
as Murray. The officers of the COM
pany are: w. E. Corey, president;
w. W. Blackburn, secretary treasurer;
er; J. J. Campbell, assistant secre-
er; J. J. Campbell, assistant secre-
tary and auditor. All the new officers
are from Pittsburg.
Little Known OF Move at Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Pa, March 27.-The only
explanat ton offered in Pittsburg for
the filing of articles of merger at Tren-
ton Thursday by subsidiary companies
of the United States Steel corporation
is that the latter is about to carry out
it's plan of merging all it's constituent
companies, practically abolishing the
subdivisions of the general corpora
ton and having the parent concern be-
come the Grating as we'll as the
stock-holding concern.
This plan will do away with the in
dividual organiza tons, such as the
Carnegie Steel Co., the American Sheet
Steel Co., the American Tin Plate Co.,
the National Tube Co., the Federal
Steel Co., the American Bridge Co.,
and all underlying concerns now OPP
Grated separately. 1t will also sim
pity matters considerably, and by ar
ranging them. as~departments of the
general corporation, there will be
practically no change in methods,
while tremendous saving in capitali-
cation tax will follow.
Saves Double Tax.
At present the United States Steel
corporation pays tax in New Jersey
onits general capital, while each of the
underlying companies pays a tax on
it's individual capital, though it is rep
resented in the general capital of the
corporation. In other words, the COR
poration is paying taxes twice on it's
capita lization.
The officers of the new corporation
are all old officials of the Carnegie
company.
Schwab at PittsburE.
President Schwab, of the United
States Steel corporation, arrived" in
Pittsburg Thursday. It is said his
visit is business one and that he will
be here for several days. His arrival
revived rumors of proposed merging
of independent steel interests into the
corporation, but he refused to say
anything in reference to the report in
circulation.
