GIGANTIC TRUST.
New Steel and Iron Trust Would Control the
.Trade of the U. S.
Chicago, August 24. —The report from
Now York that the capitalization of the
proposed new steel combine is to be $200,-
000,000 was a big eye-opener to local cap
talists. It would seem to indioate that
John W. Gates and his financial coadjutors
are looking beyond the immediate consol
idation of the Illinois Steel, Minnesota
Iron, Johnson and other mining companies
and intend that ultimately the combine
shall include every steel and iron concern
operating in the United States, and that
even the Rockefeller & Carnegie Company,
long the bitter and powerful rival of the
western companies, may be absorbed in the
gigantic trust of steel and Iron.
POWER COMPANY.
Such a company would be more than the
equal of the Standard Oil Company in
power. It would control the mining sup
plies of both the iron and fuel used in the
conversion to steel. It would control the
marine and railway transportation of its
products, through its own railways and
lake barges, and it could supply the world
with rails, armour plate and all kinds of
structual work manufactured at its own
plants.
The following companies are slated as
“sure” to enter the deal:
The Illinois Steel Company, the Minne
sota Iron Company, the Johnson Company,
the Elgin, Joilet & Eastern Railway.
The following other companies are figur
ed as Immediate possibilities:
Cambria Iron Company, the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company, the Pensylvania
Steel Company, the Bethlehem Iron Com
pany.
As a remote possibility the Carnegie
may be mentioned.

Factions at War Over the Control of
the Committee and Convention
—A Merry Fight Is On.
Dayton, 0., August 24 —The Democratic
state convention assembled at 11 o’clock
today in Fairview Casino, a suburban
summer resort place.
The attendance was not as large as usual
but the factional fighting is more bitter
than ever. For two days the factions,
headed respectively by Joseph Dowling
and Allen O. Myers have contended for
control of the convention, the state com
mittee and the whole party organization.
At the district meetings yesterday and
at the committee meeting last night the
fighting at times got beyond harsh words.
It is expected that the factions will fight
on the floor of the convention and a large
crowd of visitors has assembled to witness
the exhibition.
The convention was called to order by
W. W. Durbin, chairman of the state com
mittee, who briefly reviewed the work of
the last campaign.
A resolution was adopted re-affirming
the Chicago platform and says:
We particularly endorse the financial
plank therein declaring for free and un
limited coinage of silver and gold at the
ratio of 16 to 1 independent of all other
nations.
W e are proud of the patriotic conduct
in peace and war of that brave leader of
Democracy, William J. Bryan, and favor
his renomination as president in 1900.
The platform favors the income tax and
thanks the minority of congress for cor
porations to secure a just distribution of
of the war tax equally upon the wealth
and corporations of the country as well
as upon labor.
We recognize the eternal truth that life
liberty and the pursuit of happiness is the
is the natural and inalienable heritage of
all mankind and since the hand of despot
ism has been lifted from the Island of
Cuba dominated by Spain we Should af
ford its inhabitants an untrammelled op
portunity to establish a free and indepen
dent constitution.
They oppose an alliance with England or
any other foreign power and demand that

I Acting ou these terms the firm has made
arrangements to carry on the business.
l ue firm has opened up an office in the
real of Guttenberger’s music store ou
• Second street and will be ready for busi
ness in a few days.
Ihe safe was opened .this morning and
the books were louud to be ail right Mr.
Riley stated to a (News reporter this
morning that the firm nad rented the
store on Second street formelry occupied
by Damar Williams and that they would
be ready for business within two weeks
with a full stock of goods.
iMr. Riley said that the Joss was fully
covered by insurance and that a new
stock of goods would be purchased at once.
Tne prescription list was burned and
this was a serious loss.
The new goods for the firm will begin
to arrive this week. A soda fount will be
placed in the new place of business and
the firm expects to be shipping goods as
usual next month.
Mr. John Hoge, who has been the man
ager of the retail department for several
years, left on Sunday for eNw York. He
has been telegrapned to remain in N w
York and he wili be joined there by eiener
Mr. T. C. Peek or Mr. J. B. Riley or both.
They will at onee replenish the immense
stock while the retail department at Holt s
will be stocked up as rapidly as possible.
The old stand owned by Mr. W. G. Solo
mon, will be rebuilt at once and arranged
on more modern plans while it will be a
handsome structure.
The traveling men who are on the road
have been instructed to take all orders and
these it is understood, will be filled by
Lamar, Rankin & 'Co., of Atlanta. The
fire yesterday was the most rapid that has
ever been seen in Macon and the work
done by .the fire department under Chief
Jones was remarkable. Every one today
is complimenting the department on hav
ing saved the adjoining stores which were
in great danger. There was no possibility
of saving the building itself. But .the
others must certainly have gone too if the
department had not done such splendid
work.
The total loss at 'the fire yesterday has
not been estimated but it is though, io be
in the neighborhood of SIOO,OOO. Mr. Riley,
the manager of the store, was seen yester
day afternoon and he said that at the last
inventory of the stock there was $90,000
worth of goods on hand.
The stock is almost a total loss. Chief
Jones, of the fire department, said that he
, thought that there was $20,000 worth of
salvage left in the building and that a
great part of it could be used. Mr. John
oge, Who is in New York, was telegraph
ed to remain there until further notice
and it is supposed that a new’ stock of
goods will be (bought at once and that the
firm will open again at an early date.
Mr. W. G. Solomon, who owned the
burned building is out of the city and
couldn ot be seen, but Mr. Steve Solomon
said that the building was fully insured
and that it would probably be rebuilt at
once.
The total amount of insurance on the
building is as follows:
Southern Mutual $ 2,500
1 Phoenix 2*ooo
Continental 2,500
.Connecticut 2,500
Total $ 9,500
The fire department worked well yes
terday and their work could not have been
better. Fireman Sutton was badly bruised
by falling through a hole in the building.
He was not dangerously hurt but only
scratched up.
The negro who was burned so badly in
the basement of the building was resting
easily yesterday afternoon. He was draw
ing varnish from a barrel when the ex
plosion took place. He had to be dragged
out as he was unconscious.
Speaking of the work of the fire depart
ment yesterday, and old citizen this morn
ing said:
"I have lived in Macon forty years and
was a member of the old volunteer firemen
before the war and for years and years af
terwards, and better work by fire laddies
was never done in Maeon. Minutes seem
hours to tjhe spectator, and people looking
at the working of others always imagine
they can do the job better than the man
doing it. The work of the department on
yesterday in confining the fire to one build
ing, and, in fact, all that they did, was
splendid and the boys need patting on the
back rather than kicks. The insurance
companies could well afford to pay the
entire expense of the department for the
whole year for what they did. We have
a splendid department and they, as a Ma
eon instituion, should have praise when
deserving.”
The stock of iMr. Clem Phillips was dam
aged to some extent by the heat but he is
fully covered by insurance and will sus
tain no loss. The Wood-Peavy Company
stock was also badly damaged and they too
are fully insured. Had it not be. n for the
double wall between the building the
whole block would have burned.
The front window of the store of Mr.
Phillips was cracked badly. The window
has an inscription which was made on it
in 1862 and is probably the oldest show
window in the city.

DECIDEDLY
caldrd:
Was the Meeting of the Prop
erty Owners to Discuss
Paving Situation.
HDRNE’SJHARGES
Startled the Meeting of the
Propertv Owners Yester
day Afternoon.;
MR. REN JONES ON ASPHALT
He Says that it is Decidedly the
Best Material to Use on Street
for Light or Heavy Traffic.
Just what will be the outcome of the
meeting of property owners held yesterday
afternoon in the Academy of Music it
would be difficult to say, but it is certain
that it (has had the effect of arousing more
interest in the question of paving material
than has ever been felt in Macon.
The intense excitement atending the fire
and the short notice given to the property
owners of the change in the hour of the
meeting necessarily curtailed the attend
ance, but there was present a fair repre
sentation of the property owners in the un
paved streets.
Mr. H. T. Powell, president of the Ma
con Savings Bank, was made chairman of
the meeting, and Mr. G. C. Matthews acted
as secretary.
Mr. Henry Horne again outlined the
paving situation, briefly, and asked that a
committee be appointed to go before coun
cil with the request that further action on
paving be postponed until the property
owners had time to .investigate the matter
for themselves and find out the value of
different materials.
The secretary of the meeting was in
structed to prepare a communication to be
laid before council embodying this request,
with the further request that council ap
point a committee to go to Savannah to
investigate the question of paving as it
is being carried on there.
The chairman of the meeting was in
structed to appoint a committee to go to
Savannah for the same purpose and Mr.
Horne offered to pay the expenses of these
gentlemen. Mr. Horne said that he was
himself simply a citizen and property
owner in Macon and that he would not
profit at all by the letting of the contract.
He asked that a committee be appointed
to investigate the paving contracts that
have now been let. He said that he could
prove collusion between the brick company
and others and he thought that the con
tractors should be called to Macon to say,
under oath, whether the contract had been
clear of all collusion or not.
This proposition was opposed by Mr. Ben
Jones on the ground that no man could be
called on to incrimminate himself and
stultify his own contract.
Mr. Jones took occasion to say that he
had in the past been a strong advocate of
brick paving, but that he had made a very
thorough investigation of the paving in Sa
vannah and he was prepared to announce
•that asphalt took precedence over either
brick or stone, and that, in his opinion, at
the price offered by the Southern Asphalt
Company, asphalt and not brick or stone
should be used on the remaining streets of
Macon, whether they be the heavy or light
traffic streets. He thought that it was the
best and the cheapest material.
This statement, made in an open meet
ing, cannot fail to have a great influence.
Mr. Jones is a large property owner and no
business man stands higher in the commu
nity than he does. He is known to have
his opinions and to hold them until chang
ed by honest conviction.
The question of the cost of the rock ce
ment which has been laid by the city on a
number of the residence streets was also
brought up.
It was tated in the meeting that the
cost of this paving is being paid by the city
out of the paving fund and that the prop
erty owners are not assessed for paving as
in the case of the business portion of the
city. The further statement was made that
the cost of this paving was very high, in
fact, that it actually approximated the cost
of asphalt at the contract price now offered
by the Southern people when the cost of
the street hands and carts is counted.
In view of the fact that there has been
a considerable amount of objection to this
work bn the ground of expense and the
doubtful lasting quality of the material,
this statement is bound to have a very
great effect on the property owners.
It may be said that the meeting yester
day w r as highly satisfactory and it is
thought that this, coupled with the further
action that will be taken will have the ef
fect of bringing the property owners to
more serious consideration of the economic
side of the question of paving.
Mr. Ben L. Jones said last night to a
News rejorter that he was glad to be able
to say that he had changed his mind on
the subject of the material to be used. He
had carefully investigated the paving in
Savannah and he is prepared to say any
wehre that in his opinion asphalt is the
proper material for Macon to use on her
streets whether they are used for light or
for heavy draft. No man living, he said,
could intimate with any semblance of
truth that he had been influenced by any
thing but his own judgment and that, af
ter a fair investigation, conducted on his
own lines and without the direction of
anyone he had satisfied himself and is
confident now that the whole people of Ma
con w’ould agree with him if they made an
investigation as he has done.
Mr. Pewell, the other member of the
committee that went to Savananh is of
the same opinion as Mr. Jones. He says
that in his opinion asphalt is the proper
material to use and that the property own
ers of the city, who have to pay for the
paving are going contrary to their own
interests if they fail to investigate or to
accept the pronounced result of an investi
gation made for them.
“The fact that after ten years of asphalt
in Savannah,’’ said Mr. Powell, “they are
now putting asphalt on the heavy streets
as well as in the residence portion of the
town, is conclusive to my mind of the
common sense of our adopting that mate
rial when it can be put down here at the
same price as in Savannah or at $1.93 cents
per square yard under the identical speci
fications.
WILL TALK TO
BUSINESS MEN
Carnival Committe Will Meet
With Them for that Pur
pose Todav.
OF IMPORTANCE TO ALL
Business Interests in the City and
Every Business Man Should Be
There Without Fail.
A most important meeting of the mem
bers of the Macon Carnival Association
and the business men of Macon will be
held at the Chamber of Commerce at 4
o’clock this afternoon.
The executive committee of the associa
tion deems it proper that the business men
should fully understand what is being
done in preparation for the Carnival and
they think that an impetus will be given
to the movement if the business men will
lend their assistance and advice to the
movement.
The executive committee wishes it dis
tinctly understood that the meeting this
afernoon is not for the purpose of taking
up collections and that no effort will be
made to secure the pledge of financial sup
port.
The meeting is called simply for the
purpose of giving the business men a
thorough outline of what has been done
and what the committee proposes to do.
Os course as it is to the interest of the
business men to see the Carnival a success
this opportunity to come in closer touch
with the work of the association wlil be
taken advantage of.
As a matter of fact the work in prepara
tion for the Carnival is all progressing
most satisfactorily. Everything points to
the biggest thing of the kind that Macon
•has ever undertaken.
The battle of Manila by Paine, which
will be shown on three nights of the Car
nival, will be a magnificent production and
the cheap rates insure a large attendance.
But no less great will be the night pageant
of "Peace and War,” which will take up
the fourth night.
FINANCE COMMITTEE MET
Yesterday—Plans Were Adopted to Raise
Money tor Carnival.
The finance committee of the Carnival
Association held an important meeting
yesterday afternoon at the office of Talbott
& Palmer. Plans were adopted to secure
the necessary funds for the Carnival but
Chairman Talbott, of the finance commit
tee, refused to give out the plans. He
said, however, that personal letters to all
of the merchants in the city would be sent
out this week and that the committee
would begin the canvass for subscriptions
on Tuesday. Mr. Talbott says that he
thinks that the committee will have no
trouble in securing the necessary funds.

Mrs. Minnie Franklin Died on
Her Wav to the Asylum.
A very sad death occurred at the Union
depot last night just after the Central
train from Atlanta arrived.
Miss Minnie Franklin, of Carroll county,
was being taken to the lunatic asylum at
Milledgeville by her father, but on the ar
rival here she died. The young woman
was violent while in Atlanta and her
father gave her a dose of morphine to
quiet her.
Just before the train left Atlanta she
became terribly sick and it was thought
that she would die before the train reach
ed Macon. She was suffering terribly
when the train reached here and when
taken to the waiting room she died.
Her father was grief-stricken and seem
ed at loss what to do.
The county commissioners furnished
transportation for the body to be carried
back to Carroll county.
THOUSANDS PASSED THROUGH
They Are in Good Condition and on the Way
to Huntsville.
The First Florida regiment passed
through Macon this morning on the way to
Huntsville, Ala., where they will be sta
tioned along side the Second Georgia.
The regiment is coming from Fernandi
na, where they have been stationed for
some time. They are sorry to leave Fer
nandina and are loud in the praise they
have received there from the people.
They say that the camp was most com
fortable and that they did not want to
leave.
The officers say, however, that while the
camp was very pleasant, there was danger
of fever greater than there has been at any
of the camps further north. This would
have been particularly true for the month
of September.
The regiment is in splendid condition.
Only some twenty-five or thirty of them
are sick, and they were cared for by the
department in every possible way.
While the train remained in Macon many
of the men visited the brewery where they
were entertained in the same way that all
the soldiers have been received there since
the outbreak of the war.

There’s a
Big Difference 'i'
