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. WILSON IN CONTROL Os the District of Ponce—Has Ordered All the Bars Closed. Ponce, August 24 —James H.

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.

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.

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. dieoWdepot 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.
