justices of the court concurred in the
decision.

P.R.R.& SBRAPNEL ORDERS 1
HELP BIG STEEL CONCERNS
Canadian Oar ft Foundry Company
Gets 980,000,000 Contract From 3
Bffassia —Pennsy's Move for Equip
ment Wakes T/p Other Ballroads
New York, April 23.—"The Iron
Age'' says tho Pennsylvania Rail- 1
road's announcement that it is about :
to buy or build 16,500 cars and 194 '
locomotives and tho tentative placing ]
in this country of further large sec
tions of the Canadian Car & Foundry
Company's $80,000,000 shrapnel con
tract have been the main contributions
of the week to the news of better busi
ness. There is also the expectation i
that the Pennsylvania rail order will
soon be distributed, adding 150,000
tons or more to the 20,000 tons already
placed.
There are signs that other railroads
are getting more alive to the low
prices car and locomotive companies
would make just now, and the steel
trade looks for further developments
in this direction. How far tho large
war contracts the equipment companies
are now figuring on might affect deliv
eries of new cars that may be wanted
by fall, iB a factor not entirely over- i
looked.
Of the $80,000,000 Canadian con
tract for Russia, it is now known that
over $20,000,000 has been sublet in
this country and that $20,000,000
more is nearly closed. Much less clear
is the status of other pending business,
involving mailt millious, presumably
for Great Britain.
Actual exports of iron and steel grow
slowly, February showing a total of
145,000 tons for products reported by
weight, against 140,000 tons in Janu
ary. The rate of orders lately should
give a 200,000-ton month soon. It is
noticed this month that foreign in
quiries aro from a variety of new
sources in neutral countries and the
prices renlized are often higher than on
home business.
Ocean transport is a serious factor
in business with Europe. Sweden wants
American pig iron, but 80 shillings is
asked for vessel room. Inquiries for
thousands of tons of pig iron have
come up, including 12,000' tons for
Italian Government works and large
amounts, of hematite, for England, but
little is put through. A radiator com
pany has bought 6,000 tons of mal
leable pig iron at Buffalo for shipment
to its plant at Hull, England.
The Lake Superior iron-ore market
has been opened for 1915 by sales of
Mesaba non-Bessemer and of old-range
Bessemer ores in the past few days,
the total thus far being less than 1,-
000,000 tons.' Prices, as expected, arc
the same as in 1914—a basis of $3.75
at lower lake port for old-range Besse
mer, $3.50 for Mesaba Bessemer, $3
for old-range non-Bessemer and $2.85
for Mesaba non-Bessemer. Vessel rates
aro also the same as last year's.
The volume of new buying in fin
ished lines continues to be less than in
j March. Shipments by some steel com
panies are less, also; by others sub
stantially the same. Tlie handling of
the price situation in bars, shapes and
plates lias been apparently more ef
fective from the producer's standpoint
than at other times when demand was
not equal to capacity. In bars particu
larly, the 1.20 c., Pittsburgh, price has
been established, and in the past week
several producers have named 1.25 c. as
their price for third quarter shipments.
This applies also to plates and struc
j turnl shapes.
' In the Pittsburgh and Valley dis
| triets the sheet bar market has quieted
down lately after the active buying
|by sheet mills which had been idle in
I the deadlock over wages.
The foreign rail trade has shown a
I good deal of life, but British rail mills
j have had no hand in it, the Govern
i ment having well-nigh monopolized
j their output. The Tata works in India
| have taken 14,000 tons for govern-
I ment roads there and the Dominion
j works in Nova Scotia are reported to
| have sold 35,1)00 tons more for South
Africa, making 65,000 tons in all. The
Broken Hill Proprietary Company, New
South Wales, will roll 9,000 tons for
South Australia and probably 38,000
tons for New South Wales. In the do
mestic market a 6,000-ton order for
the Atlantic Coast Line has gone to
the Tennessee Company and there have
been scattering orders of 7,000 tons.
The Chicago surface lines have placed
20,000 tons of girder rails with the Lo
rain Steel Company.
DOUBT FATAL ELECTRIC SPARK
Coroner's Expert Thinks Pipe or Cigar
More Likely
I/ewistown, April 23. —The C'oro- S
ner's jury rendered a verdict last night j
that Homer B. Detra, Fred C. and
Amos A. Shatzer, Abner H. Knepp and j
James K. Gibboney, died from burns I
incident to an explosion, the ccuse of |
which is unknown. The five men lost
their live* in an explosion of chemical
paint used to dip wheels, in lieu of
painting them, at the Standard steel
works, on April 1.
James Spicer, chemical engineer
from the Department of Labor and
Industry, testified that only a spark
at incandescent heat could have ignit
ed tho vapor generated by action of
cold benzine in the boiling paint.
The trend of sentiment appeared to
favor a spark from a pipe, cigar or
cigarette.

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
SPENT ON STOMACH
Pennsylvania Man Gets Quick Remedy
for His Long Suffering
Stomach
Henry F. of the Hotel Bart
lett, at Cambridge Springs, Pa., suf
fered most desperately from ailments
of the stomach and digestive tract for
years. He spent a fortune in the pur
suit of health.
At last he happened to discover
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy. He found
relief quickly. Mr. Curry wrote:
"I have spent thousands of dollars
for doctors and medicine and hardly
got temporary relief, and before I took
your medicine I was about discour
aged. But after taking your medicine
I got great relief. My mental anil
physical suffering had been so bod
that I had to resort to morphine, and
even with that I did not get much re
lief. Your remedy helped mo won
derfully. I have a good appetite, sleep
well, and have gained weight."
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives per
manent results for stomach, liver and
intestinal ailments. Eat as much and
whatever you like. No more distress
# after eating, pressure of gas in the
stomach and around the heart. Get one
bottle of your druggist now and try it

WORKED UNTIL HE WAS 100
Thought Some One Else Might Need
Job—Temperance His Recipe
St. Paul, April i2<3.—After worknig
ninety years and having reached the
age of 100, Edwin E. Fisher will step
down and out to give his place to a
younger man. Fisher has been employed
as a pattern maker in a foundry on the
West Side, and worked until five weeks
ago, when the grip seized him and he
had to lay off work. While taking this
compulsory rest it dawned upon him
that there were many in need of em
ployment, while he, with no one de
pendent upon him and with sufficient
means to keep him, was still working
from force of habit, keeping some de
serving man out of a job.
"How do you account for your
longevity?" he was asked.
"Temperance," he said. "There are
more dangers from overeating than
overdrinking. I have never done either.
I eat what I want. I used tobacco for
many years. When I thought that
smoking was harming me I quit, but
then I chewed worse than ever. When
tho company that made my favorite
brand was absorbed by the trust the
dealer who supplied me said, 'That's
your last plug,' and I took him at his
word. I couldn't get my favorite and
so. I let off altogether. Whiskey? A
night cap does one good. No 'eyeopeu
er,' thou'gh; that's <bad. No drinking
during the day, but a drop on ret.ring
is a good thing.
"Yes, I am quitting work, although
still able to hold my job. In the nature
of things I can't live much longer. I
don't fear death and it would do me j
no good if I did. So I am just going to
idle along for the few years that are
remaining.''

PAPERS WIN 1.1 BEL SLIT
Jury Instructed to Find Verdict for
Reading Journals
Reading, Pa., April 23.—After one
witness had been heard, Judge Wagner
instructed the jury to find a ver
dict for the defense in the suit for
SIO,OOO damages for alleged libel
brought by George D. Haagc, a local
impresario, against the Reading Print
ing Company and Alexandor Troup and
Walter F, Dumser, publishers of the
"Telegram" and "News-Times."
The suit resulted from the publica
tion of a review of a concert conducted
•by Haagc, at which Francis Mac.Millen,
the violinist, was the principal per
former. Haage claimed that he was In
jured to the extent of SIO,OOO through
the publication of the criticism, which
he termed malicious libel, inspired by
the breaking off of business relations
between himself and the defendant
company.
Prominent attorneys say that the re
sult of the suit broadens the scope of
the press in giving expression to its
views on the theatrical and other en
tertainments.

POOR HOUSE ENDANGERED
Oil Tanks and Oil Well Rigs Destroyed
By Forest Fires
Kane, April 23. —Fire fighters made
little headway yesterday in checking
the forest blazes in this section. In
Hickory township, Forest county, much
valuable timber, owned by the Wheel*
er & Dusenbury Lumber Company, was
i destroyed, together with two largo
storage tanks filled with oil and a
number of oil wells rigs owned by the
United Oil and Cias Company.
At one time the flames threatened
the buildings of the Forest county
poor farm, and only hard work of the
fire fighters saved the buildings. The
