Colonel Bush on the Merger.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April 3.-(By Asso-
ciated Press 1.-THE Southern iron mer-
ger, which has been for several months
in it's formative period, is now a practl-
cal certainty was the statement given
out this afternoon by Col T. G. Bush,
president of the Alabama Consolidated
Coal and Iron company. This plan to
consolidate certain railroad and mining
interests in Tennessee and Ala bama has
been on foot for several mcnths. II will
unite the following companies:
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad COM
pany:
The sloss-Shefield Steel and Iron COM
pany.
The AlabamG Consolidated Coal and
Iron COMPANY.
The Alabama properties cf the Fepub-
lie Iron and Steel company
Mr. Bush has taken an important part
in the organization of the combination
of the companies. He states that the
whole matter Is now in the hands of
bankers. He stated that much eneour-
agement had been secured and that the
merger would not be In the least de-
ferred because OF lack of capital, as has
been reported.

Sheffield and Republic. 1t is understood
that the woodward interests, the so-eall-

representatives of the various corpora

Peter Sawicky of &c fremont ave
nue., Orange, a committed to the
Essex County Hospital for the Insane
yesterday afternoons, suffering from
homieidal mania. Recently she tried
TO Kill her husband with n carving

poison her threc-months-old child
Marie by administering scalding hot

WILL SPEND
$|,5OO,OOO.
In Improving the Yards at Com
munipaw 10 Reclaim
SWampS.

ELIZABETH, Nov. 7:-At an es-
timatcd cost of $1,000, 900, II Cen
trail Railroad of New Jersey is going
to make the greatest improvements
i'll the Communipaw section OF Jer-
scy City that has been attempted
since the company first began using
that end of the city for a terminus.
The Job undertaken will completely
change the appearance of the local
ity and the shore front of New YORK
bay. $50.
The maps and drawings for the
work were made by j. o. OSgood,
chief engineer of the Central Rail
road Of New Jersey. and his assist
ants at the Jersey City station. The
Improvement itself entails tilling-ln
work. which will reclaim a mile
square of meadow and swampy land
extending from a point south of the
present yard tracks to a point i'll
New York bay, and from the river
front TO nearly Philip street.
The award for the filling in was
given to w. A. Taylor, of Jersey City.
Work will not be stopped until the
whole scheme has been entirely car
ried out. although for the present
but part of the Job will be completed.
The rapid increase in the Cen
trails business has compelled the ac-
qufrement of more yard room, and
the only way to get 1t was to reclaim
the swamps and the shallow part Of
the shore front, and all this is in
volvcd in the present plans. The
work is exactly the same as that
which the Pennsylvania railroad is
o carrying on at Greenyille south
of Inc yard now being used, and
which in about three years will be
part of it.
The work has been begun by
dredging on the shore. The mud re-
moved is carried back and dumped,
thereby accomplishing two things at
the same time. A bulkhead will be
built around the limit on the water
front, extending toward Black Tom.
When the filling in has been COM
plcted tracks will be laid and the
Central will have the largest aud
finest yard in Jersey City.
A bulkhead will not all be built
for the present. A small stretch of
il will be built south of the ferry
slips on the river front. and later the
rest will be built. One new open
pier will be built. LOO feet long, to
start with, and in due time others
will follow: in fact, the entire new
water line in time will contain a SER
les of piers, docks and coal trestles,
which will make ii the most spacious
water front railroad yard and deliv-
ely point in Hudson county. IT will
he at least a year II a half before
the filling in work has been complet-
ed. and the other improvements Will
follow. Among other things planned
Tor the future in connection with the
plans of Chief Engineer Osgood is a
new and spacious ~roundhouse in the
lower part of the yard.

DO WE PUSH ENOUGH

Does Greeley want straw board
factory? The chance has been offered
within the past few days, and the
matter has again been dropped tenn
porarily, it is said. J. P. Alexander
of Rittman, Ohio, has been in the
city and looked over the field, and
pronounced the location unsurpassed.
His negotiations were conducted
with the Commercial club. Whether
or not he met with the proper en-
couragement remains to be seen. If
he comes back and establishes his
factory here it may be reasonably
supposed that he was satisfied with
the outlook. If he does not, accord
ing to his statement, it will be for
want of sufficient funds with which
to carry out the project.
None of the local capitalists
seemed inclined to put money into
the project, and while Mr.. Alex
Ander had some means of his own
that he was willing to put into the
business this was not sufficient.
Now the question arises are our
people not little too conservative
for the good of the town? When an
outsider comes in and is willing to

STRAWBOARD PLANT
One May be Established il
Greeley Soon.

J. P. Alexander, Of Rittman,
Ohio, who has been in the city fol
some time investigating the posi-.
bilities for straw board factory
here, left for his home last week,
thoroughly in love with Greeley.
He will return shortly and establish
his home here.
Mr.. Alexander was we'll impressed
with the location here for straw
board factory, and went back to
Ohio to interest other paper mill
men in the project. 1t will require
from SIS. 600 to slOO. 600 to build the
plant, besides the working capital.
Mr.. Alexander did not have sutf-
cient capital for this project himself
and was unable to interest local
capital, largely because nobody here
was familiar with the business and
had no idea of returns from such a
project. But as Mr.. Alexander
comes from the heart of a paper
making country and is himself a
practical man in the business he will
likely find but little difficulty in
raising the required amount of
capital.
There are thousands of tons OF
straw burned up or plowed under in
this country each year, that could
Just as well be made into straw
boa ID, for which there is great de-
mand. Straw would be much
cheaper at the factory here than it
is in the east, and if money can be
made in the business there, more
money should be made here. A
paper box factory could also be estab-
lished in connection with the factory
and give employment to all the more
men,
