A Remarkable Career

The career of Henry Clay Prick has formed one of the most fascinating chapters in the romance of industry in the United States. At ten, boy on farm in a family of only ordinary means, he was, at 60, man of so many millions that his fortune, like those of Carnegie and Rockefeller, was largely a matter of guesswork, even to himself. It has been said that he was worth more than $100,- O0O,0OO perhaps as much as $200,- OO0,O0O
 MT. Prick built up the greatest coke business in the world, and ac- quired such vast interests in steel that he was also one of the principal magnates in that industry, and in rounding out his career he became known as one of the worlds greatest collectors of master paintings.
 Boyhood and Youth
 Mr Prick was born December 19, 1S49, at West Overton, Pa. This will 1age was named after the maternal grandfather of MT Prick, Abram Over holt, whose original family name was Oberholtzer, and who settled in Vest ern Pennsylvania when that region was regarded as the frontier of civ ilization: As the settlements along ' the Allegheny and Monongahela grew and Pittsburgh emerged from it's swaddling clothes, MT. Overholt be- came the leading miller and distiller of Western Pennsylvania. His daugh- ter, Elizabeth, married John w. Prick, a young man of Swiss ancestry; who at that time was working as an en- gineer in the Overholt distillery. It was from this union that the future capitalist was born. The father at tempted farming, but did not make a remarkable success of 1t, and as re-

DEATH OF STEEL MACNATE
 AND FNANCIER, AFTER A
 MOST REMARKABLE CAREER

suit young Henry Clay Prick was prac- tically adopted into the Overholt fam fly when he was about twelve years old He received good basic school ing, but there was nothing in his boy hood to indicate the remarkable abil- ity which characterized his later life, except his eagerness to get into busi- ness. For time he was bookkeeper in his grandfather's distillery, and from this position he went to Morgan & Co.,, coke dealers, and at about 21 years of age he appeared in Pitts burgh as their agent. The coke in dustry was in it's infancy. The iron masters of Pittsburgh were just be- ginning to appreciate the value of coke for their furnaces. Young Prick had an opportunity to acquire a linn ited interest in a plant near Broad ford, and out of the profits of this he acquired other holdings. He later joined a company to build railroad to penetrate the Connelsville coke re- zion, and in 1871, the year this road was opened, MT. Prick organized the corporation of Prick & Co.,, which bought coal land and coke ovens in the Connelsville region. That was the basis of the Prick fortune. The undivided attention of the rising finan- cier was given to coke until 1882.
 Influential Connections
 In the midst of this period there came the panic of 1873 and the finan- cial crash of many ambitious oper- ators. At the sheriff's sale MT. Prick purchased additional tracts of coal land and ovens, and a few years later the Melons, powerful Pittsburgh bankers, became interested in the eX banding enterprise of the young oper- ator
 The Carneg1es, then developing their great steel business in Pitts burgh, had taken large holdings in the Prick coke company, and in 1882 MT. Prick found the Carnegie brothers willing to admit him as a member of their firm in consideration of his giv- ing them further interests in his coke

DuSlneSS. It was thus that MT. FrlCK became also a great manufacturer of steel
 The Homestead Strike
 Through the Homestead strike of 1892 MT. Prick came into national prominence. Differences had arisen between the Carnegie Steel Company and it's employees over a wage scale, eliminating in strike involving thou sands of men; the calling out of the national guard and the proclamation of martial law. It was at this period, July 22, 1892, that Alexander Berk- man, a New York anarchist, tried to assassinate MT. Prick. Berkman walked into Tricks office, drew a re- volver and fired, the bullet lodging in MT. Tricks neck MT. Prick was shot a second time and then he grappled with Berkman. During the encounter MT. Prick was stabbed three times, but he downed his assailant and held him until the police arrived Berk- man was tried and sent to the West ern penitentiary in Pittsburgh for twenty-one years.
 Thirteen days after the attack MT. Prick walked to his office unattended and resumed the direction of the great strike, which continued until November 21 of that year. MT. Prick was unmoved by the violence, the protests of the public, or the distress of the families of the strikers. He won, and never begrudged the price of victory.

Market Square Presbyterian
Congregation Changes Plan
of Evening Services

NJ lark ct Square Presbyterian

itself to all the varied demands
which arise because of it's location
Situated where all the street cars of
the county meet it's congregation, is

ned and worshipful, will be rendered
To meet the needs of an audience
