Land Prices Jump and Injury
Done the Town.

Butler is likely to lose the new Steel
Passenger Coach works Of the Standard
Stel Car Co. because the company has
not enough room on what land they
have left Of the old McElroy farm for
the buildings, and property holders,
west and east Of the big factory, have
put up the prices of real estate to such
figures thar the company refuses to
buy. 1t is reported that u location has
been decided on in New Castle.
The Standard Plate Glass Co is also
reported to intend building a large adj
dition for the manufacture Of glass for
tiling, flooring and for some special
purposes The new factory will be
located on land owned by the company
east of the present works and will EN-
ploy 400 or 500 men. 1t is said a
larger factory would have been de-
cided on but when efforts were made to
secure surrounding land the price WAS
jumped to $1,000 an acre. AS it is the
new factory will be an immense bene
fit to the South Side and East Err.

the ..Platt amendment announced a
Provisional Government with himself
as It's head; all subordinate officers of the
old government to retain their places
and all Cuban laws to remain in force;
the provisional government to exist
only until new elections could be ac-
complished.
Marines were landed from the feet to
guard the Treasury. which is said to
hold $is, 900. 900 in gold, as the Insur-
gent forces were in the neighborhood.
Bee. Taft began negotiating with the
rebels, and also issned proclamation
OF amnesty for both those under arms,
and those whom the Palma government
had imprisoned.

probably last until Congress meets.

Yesterday, Gen. Guerra. the leader
OF the Revolutionists was reported as
having disbanded his forces. all OF

neers. is quoted in the Army and Navy
Journal as saving: There was no
more worthy officer in the Army than
Colonel Lusk. He made every duty one
for his tireless industry and conscient-
ious effort. He never shirked. and tine
fact that he let little things worry him
in the desire for perfection resulted in
bis disability shortly after the war with
Spain. His death while still in the
prime of life and of value to his profes-
sion and corps is distinct loss to the
Service" Funeral services over the re-
mains of Colonel Lusk were held at the

interment was at the post cemetery. with
full military honors.

Obituary.

George Hamilton Poor of Portland,
Me, who claimed TO be the inventor of
the Westinghouse air brake, the Ameri-
car palace car and 30 other contrivances
which have revolutionizsd the railroad
business of the civilized world. died
last Friday, aged go years from paralysis
of the heart. indirectly caused by his
constant STOPPING under cars while at
work on his inventions. While employ
ed in Portland in the early S0s he was
at work on a model for an air brake In
1885 the invention was launched and
has never been improved upon. The
Westinghouse Company brought the
invention in 1895, and Mr.. Poor went
to the American Palace Car Company OF
New York and invented the combina-
ton coach, sleeping and dining car
familiar to all tourists.
