and determination not to let the acci
dent mar the day was commented upon
by all of them, who termed her a true
daughter of the South and with the
pluck and endurance of the women of

BRIDEGROOM OF 60 WEDS
PRETTY GIRL OF SIXTEEN
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 29. -True
love did not run smooth for Levi Quad
enfleld, a wealthy contractor of Eighty
first street and Mingo avenue, but the
obstacles that attempted to bar his hap
piness were quietly and effectively re
moved by Cupid, and today a proud
husband is observing a double celebra
tion—his sixty-first birthday and his
second marriage.
Just as elated as Quadenfleld over the
happy culmination of a romantic and
exciting courtship is his pretty 16-year
old wife, who was Miss Maria di Gia
como. The youthful Mrs. Quadenfleld
was a worried fiancee yesterday morn
ing, but last night she was a smiling
bride and the owner of a $5,000 house
and lot at Eighty-second street and
Holstein avenue, which her husband
presented to her as a wedding gift.
‘HELLO’ FOURTEEN BILLION
TIMES IN U. S. DURING 1911
BOSTON. MASS.. Aug. 29.—Accord
ing to figures compiled for the Ameri
can Telegraph and Telephone Compa
ny, there were 22,000.000.000 telephone
calls throughout the world in 1911. Os
this total the United States had more
than 14,000,000.000, or 66 per cent. In
the year 1911 579,000,000 telegrams were
sent in the world, but the United States
used only 17 per cent of the total. The
world's investment in telephones is
more than $1,795,000,000, and the gross
yearly earnings are $329,000,000. The
average annual earning for each tele
phone is more than $32.

Two Companies Say Moulders
Used Violence and Make an
Appeal to Court.
The Spalding Foundry Company and
the Southern Iron & Equipment Com
pany. against whom the local union
of iron moulders declared a strike re
cently, secured.a temporary injunction
against the International Moulders as

lence to strike-breakers now- being

a final hearing tomorrow.

nies they assert that moulders now
on a strike have picketed grounds of
the two companies with men whd are
seeking to force the present em
ployees away ami tie up the concerns.
B. L. Brooks, as president of the local
moulders union, is made the principal
defendant in the two charges.
According to attorneys for the
Spalding company, the strike there be
gan July 22 when an apprentice was
set to work to fill the place of a union

STEEL ORDERS SHOW
BIG SUMMER TRADE
NEW YORK, Aug 29. -Since the first
of the month orders of the L’nited States
Steel corporation exceeded production,
and it is likely that unfilled orders in Au
gust will show another increase. When
the fact is taken into consideration that
orders have been scrutinized very closely
in order to eliminate speculative business,
and that August is an unusually poor
month in matter of incoming business, the
showing will he regarded as remarkable
by- the steel trade.
One producer figures that the United
States Steel corporation and independents
now have on their books a total of more
than 10,000.000 tons of unfilled orders.
