RATTLESNAKE
POISONED BEER

Eight Miners Drank Part Of the con-
tents of Seg and expired
That some people die OF beer was
verified recently in a West Virginia
mining camp. where eight Italians
died after imbibbing too freely of the
contents of keg containing the real
article. Joseph NJ. staten. bridge in
spector of the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railway Company, brought the story
with him when he came TO headquar-
ters in Richmond yesterday. Harrow
Ing details are contained in his reci-
tai of the facts, and the reputation Of
the man Is authority enough for tho
truth Of the tale he tells. 1t happened
in a mining camp near Raleigh, w.
Va. on an extension of the Raleigh &
Southwestern Railway. which is a
branch of the Chesapeake & Ohio main
line The Italians were engaged on a
section Of the road knewn as the Piney
Branch extension.
on the night of their doom the men
left their companions and retired to a
small shanty which they occupied as
members Of one large family. They
had previously procured the keg by
express, and soon after their evening
meal proceeded to make way with il.
There is no other house meth, and. con-
sequently, If they made an outcry It
was not heard. None Of the eight re-
ported for work next morning, and a
sethch was started. The first man
who inferred the shanty witnessed a
hideous spectacle. About the room, in
various positions. eight dead bodies
were found, and on table in the cen.
tire of the main apartment was the
lSeg, almost empty. Nat once did the
unprofessional laborers suspect the
cause of death, and the coroner wat
called in. Every possible clue wal
run down, and afterward poisoning
was determined upon as the cause
Then another mystery confronted th'
investigators. Where could th'
poison have come from?"
Break open the keg! shauted some
one. and the suggestion was Needed
When the keg was opened, an appar

and creqt througe the foam. "Ther
is nothing like II so far as / know.

WALL STREET
 INTERESTED IN
 $ HEEL CO

NEW YORK. April 27.-wil the directors of the United States Steel
 Corporation at their meeting today decide to pass the quarterly dividend on the common stock of that gigantic corporation? This Is the question that is being asked in Wall street.
 So representative of the general state of the business of the country is the business of the United States Steel Corporation. and so great is the army of the holders of it's securities. that any development affecting the standing of the Steel stocks is of the greatest interest to the country at large. That the passing of the two per cent dividend would be fol- lowed by general reductions on the part of other companies Is regarded as likely enough-for which reason the meeting of the Steel directors to- day is looked forward to eagerly by the holders of all kinds of industrial common stocks.
 Estimates of the ner earnings of the United States Steel Corporation for the first quarter of the year vary all the way from SI5,00O,00O to s2o.- 100000. with Pittsburg claiming tha' the former figures are more apt to be right than the latter. In the last quarter of 1908. interest and s'nk ing fund requirements and the ore ferred and common dividends amount. ed to s16,160.00J. and in addition. sinking fund. depreciation and re- serve" items were S5.214, 900. a total of S21, ,374 900. So that unless the highest estimates are exceeded. or the amount charged of greatly re duced, the common dividend hardly will have been earned during the past quarter.
 But in. view of the fact that the company's b,g surplus has been ac- cumulated against just such a time as this, the fact that the dividend on the common may not have been earned in the last quarter by no means proves that nothing will be paid. Stability of dividends as well as of prices has become the fixed policy of the United States Steel Cor. noraiion during the past few years, and in 1906 and 1907 when 143 per cent and 15.6 per cent respectively were earned for the common stock the two per cent dividend was not raised That was the time Of sur. plus accumulation. and the large fund then put in the treasury is now avail able to keep up dividends when earn. ings are poor
 With the big surplus on hand out of which the quarters common stock dividend requirement of S2.550, 900 so easily can be taken. the action of the directors at tomorrov's meeting will be governed more by the general out. look than by current conditions For the second quarter the outlook for net earnings based on known orders is not bright. but decided improve ment is expected when once the tar if is settled and manufacturers know where they stand

The same people who have been instrumental in forcing down North Butte, were sellers of other coppers today, special attention being given to Copper Range. The slight speculative interest in this stock allowed them to make three point break without losing much stock Around e 1-2 good buying was in evil dence and the closing was strong. Bal ance of the list was weak but showed no great pressure. Market looks much better than it did last night. but still should be sold on all strong spots.

Especial Wire to L. J. Overlockl
 NEW YORK. April 27.-The tenden- cy of the list was undecided with trad CTS for the most part not inclined commit themselves any great extent until after the announcement of the re ports by ihe United States corporation for the past quarter. The action of the New York state senate in passing the five cent Coaey Island fare bin caused heavy selling and the lower prices on Brooklyn, but the pool which has been operating in the is- sne ior some time tendered good sun port on the recession. The action CT gauized special and good suppor- and anything favorable will undoubtedly be made the basis Of e sharp recovery.
 At PittsburE the Carnegie Steel company has advanced bars. shapes and plates s100. The advance was made because Of the large sales in the past weeks.

 The ground is a little softer. and considerable iron and quartz has ap- peared. as well as water courses. Hence. the striking Of ore soon is confidently expected
 A little ore was encountered on the right or south, occasionally in seams running parallel with the tunnel. but most of it was left to the north. near the shaft, where some rich ore was taken down. No doubt more work will be done at this point soon.
 The best showinGs encountered bv the company were in the north cross cut from the tunnel at % feet n. at and north of the old shaft.

 One of the most promising results obtained is the finding or an abun- dance of ircn in connection with the ore. This means that the Turkey Creek is rich in a good quality of iron. it also means that where again this quality ef Iron is encountered ore may be expected to occur close by
