It Is now intimated that the Baldwin Locomotive Works will probably be merged with the Mldvale Steel Com pany, according to statements made yesterday by bankers close to those who are carrying on the negotiations. Reports are circulated that the new combination, of which Mldvale is to form the nucleus, proposes to manu facture nothing but munitions so long as the European war demands lasts. Questioned on this point the Mldvale people declined to commit them selves, saying that this was no time to disclose their plans. Whatever the outcome of the nego tiations, now generally conceded to be In progress for a merger. In one com bination or another, of the various steel plants, the financial district was satisfied yesterday that the Baldwins will play an important part in one of the deals. Whether or not Cambria Bteel is to be included in the Baldwin - Mldvale merger, there has been a sudden shift ing of certain plans that brought President Donner back to Philadelphia from New York yesterday, for it was stated at his office on Monday that he had gone off on a trip, presumably to look over the Lake Superior ore lands with President Clark, of the Lack awanna. At any rate, he was back In Philadelphia yesterday, and held a long session with Effingham B. Morris. The best information is that Donner was negotiating for the financing of the execution of the balance of his option on the Pennsylvania Company's holdings of Cambria Steel. It was learned that up until yesterday Don ner had only taken over only 50,000 of the 450,082 shares covered by his option. When asked as to when some official information regarding the Cambria deal might be expected Mor ris said that Donner was not yet ready to make an announcement. From other sources the Information ! was obtained that the news will be given out this week. Home Business Is , Now Increasing "Signs of increasing home consump tion," says the Iron Age in its weekly steel review to-day, "are plainer as the steel trade enters the last quar ter of the year. The upward trend of prices is, if anything, more marked, and inquiry for rolled steel for tho first quarter of next year Is broaden ing. "The problem of the bar mills in making deliveries on home contracts and at the same time meeting the de mands for war steel is growing more difficult. A Cleveland company closed this week with the Lackawanna Steel Company for 35,000 tons of bars, de liveries extending over twenty months. "Railroad buying is becoming a real factor just as reports of car shortages ore coming up in the Middle West. Orders have been placed this week for 4,000 cars, chiefly for the New York Central. From 15,000 to 20,000 cars are under inquiry, including 10,000 for an important trunk line. "The New York Centval has ordered 120,000 tons of rails for 1916, of which 55,000 tons went to the Illinois Steel Company, 55.000 tons to the Lacka wanna Steel Company and 10,000 tons to the Cambria Steel Company. The Burlington placed 15,000 tons and the Seaboard Air Line 9,000 tons. The September rail bookings of the Steel Corporation have been about 140,000 tons. "Steel billets for rolling and forging are commanding premiums of $2 to $3 a ton for early delivery. In the Cen tral West forging billets are sold up to $39, Pittsburgh mill. With the scarcity of steel so pronounced, new open-hearth capacity is being rushed to completion." STEEI7TON PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. William F.

Uric Acid Poison Undermines Health Rhcauma Drives It From the System and Eliminates Rheumatism Ever since Rheuma has been sold in this vicinity, the sale of this mar velous rheumatism remedy has been steadily on the increase. This is due io the fact that Rheuma is guaranteed to eliminate rheumatism or money back. It cleanses the system 6f uric acid poison. Read this proof: "After treatment by three doctors, without result, I have been cured of a very bad case of rheu matism by using two bottles of Rheuma. It is now two years since I used the remedy, and I am still as well as ever. Previously I was a cripple, walking with crutches."—Judge John Bar horst. Fort Loramle, Ohio. Rheuma Is sold by H. C.

WANT STORES TO CLOSE TOGETHER Want Shops Shut Tuesday and Friday Early; Urge Home Buying Plans for the closing of all stores in Steelton at a uniform time on Tuesdays and Fridays, were discussed at a meet ing of a special committee of the Steelton Merchants' Association, at D.

An other unique feature of the Pennsyl vania marchers was the affectionate embrace of a soldier in blue and one in gray. They marched early in the Pennsylvania delegation. . The Penn Bucktails.a post of colored soldiers, carrying tattered battle flags; the miniature artillery of the Sons of [Veterans of Carlisle, Pa.; the Scran ton veterans, blowing small borns, and the Frankfort! (Pa.) corps, who claim ed the distinction of furnishing more soldiers than any town of its size, were other distinguished features of the Pennsylvania delegation. Miss Irene Wagner, a bugler, headed the band at the front of the Harrisburg comrades, some of whom proudly car ried torn American flags and a battle flag bearing three stars. General Stewart in Line Marching with the Department of Pennsylvania was Adjutant General Thomas J. Stewart, former command er-in-chief of the National encamp ment. As a past commander-in-chief he was entitled to ride In a carriage in this parade, but General Stewart pre ferred to march, and, notwithstand ing that he has one artificial foot and walks with the aid of cane, he march ed every foot of the distance from the Capitol to the White House. , "It is the last time the Old Guard will over this historic route," said General Stewart, "and many of the boys feel ,lust as I did about it and determined to walk it if it were physi. Cftlly possible. The sentiment appeal ed to us and we could not resist it. Among the Pennsylvania veterans are mor.y who participated in tin grand review of 1865. but those who did not felt the patriotic sentiment of to-day's affair with equal force." Distinguished Veteran > John Kirk, of New Cumberland. Pa., a veteran of a Pennsylvania regiment and the 20th Pennsylvania Cavalry, is one of the few members of the G. A. P.. seen in the parade who wears not onlv the regular insignia of the or ganization, but the War Department's Indian campaign medal and the Con gressional medal of honor, conferred only for conspicuous gallantly on the battlefield. Mr. Kirk also has the dis tinction of being a member of the Union ex-prisoners of war association who was confined in one prison and unother, always escaping and always being recaptured and to a more secure or better guarded prison. He enlisted in the Pennsylvania Infantry regiment at the beginning of the war, and after a short service was transferred to the] 20th Pennsylvania Cavalry. At the close of the war he enlisted In the regular Service and was assigned to the Third Cavalry. He served with this regiment and the Sixth Cavalry through the hottest campaign in Tex as, Indian Territory, New Mexico and Arizona, being discharged about 30 years ago as sergeant major of his regiment. Four brothers, who met at the last G. A. R. reunion in Washington in 1902 for the first time in 30 years, and a brother-in-law who was severely wounded in the battle of Cold Harbor, were an interesting group. They are Samuel Roberts, 71 years old, High spire, Pa.; Albert Roberts, 69 years old. Bellefonte, Pa.; Edward Roberts, the youngest, 66 years old, Cincinnati, and William A. Roberts, 77 years old, of Langaon, D. C. The brother-in-law comes from the National Soldiers' Home at Dayton. He was severely -.vounded at the battle of Cold Harbor, Va., June 3, 1864. These four brothers became separated after the war. The youngest enlisted in 1864 at the age of 14 as a drummer boy In Company F, 45th Pennsylvania Infantry, and served until the close of the war. He later served out two enlistments in the 11th United States Infantry against the Indians. The two elder brothers, aged 15 and 17 years, enlisted in 1861 and served as drummer boys during the entire four years of the war. One was drummer of Company K, 46th Penn sylvania Infantry, and the other was I drummer of Company A, 52d Pennsyl vania Infantry.
