THE LATE CHARLES A. CHICKERING. B0+ 6900068004600 0064000 EW YORK, Feb. 13.—Congressman Charles A. Chickering of Copenhagen, N. Y., was found dead outside the Grand Union Hotel in this city to-day He had either fallen or jumped from a fourth-story window of the hotel. The body was found under the open window of his room, which was on the fourth floor, and evidently it had been lying there for some time, as the clothing was soaked with rain. There was a large gash in the right side of the head. Mr. Chickering had been in the hotel all day yesterday and had com- plained considerably of rheumatism, but nothing irrational had been noticed in his actions. A dispatch from Albany says that Mr. Chickering's friends there have been aware that for some time he was afflicted with melancholia, following B R R e R R R O e R R R At SOS = e assets of the said firm, that the court will a seyere attack of typhoid fever. llhemlpon allow the plaintiff to declare the —_— | said firm of the Carnegie Steel Company, Wm- | Char) A.

Cook, counsel for Mr. Frick, is as follow In there were two limited partrer- | ships (1) called Carnegie Bros. & ( limited, with a capital of $5,000,000, whi o1 rails and owned only the gar Thomson Steel Rail mill in dock Township, and (2), called Carnegie, Phipps & Co., limited, with a capital of $5,000,000, which made all kinds of steal plates, structural material, iron forgings, made the material for and built bridges, made armor plates and made material for the same. This latter firm owned the Academy. He was a School Commissioner of Lewis County from 1865 to 1875; mem- ber of the Assembly in 1579, 1880 and 1881; also clerk of the Assembly in 1884, being re-elected in the years from and including 1885 to 1890. He was elected to the Fifty-third Congress and re-elected three times. 10 PODLSELLING AT STATE FAI Sacramento’s Stringent Anti-Gambling Law. AT YUBH RIVER Extensive Operations to Be Commenced.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 13.—Mayor Clark and President Ing of the Board of Trus- tees this afternoon signed the anti-pool- room ordinance and it will go into effect on March 1. The original proponents of the measure intended that it should affect the pernicious poolroom evil as it sted downtown, and they had no desire to prevent the sale of pools at the Sep- MARYSVILLE, Feb. 13.—The people of Yuba and Sutter counties are greatly pleased with the general outcome of the extra session, and particularly so with the passage of the river improvement bills %o energetically pushed by their sentatives, Senator Cutter and A These bills were pa the regular session year ago, but one, w glthough signed by the Governor, was |iember race meeting in connection with | Upper and Lower Mills in Pittsburs, the invalid bec rors in_enrolim el Accordingly an ordinance | extensive Homestead Mils at Home el ton. 0 T Tt ‘Was largely | was framed which excluded the State fair | the Keystone Hrldgl Works in Bittsbu | through the efforts of the Senator and | races from the prohibition. “As amended | the Armor Fate MU near Homesied, Assemblyman that the bills were included | by Trustee Ing, and as finally passed, |iy and other properties.

Both old firms were confined to Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, may be extended elsewhere, and particularly to the Feather River, where there is pressing need for it. Now that the bills are laws, the audit- ing board and the Commissioner can pro- ceed to construct such works on Feather River as will be of the greatest benefit to the county of Sutter in the way of preventing overflow. It {s understood the work will be commenced very shortly. The United States engineers have rec- ommended an_appropriation of $500,000 to be expended in the construction of im- pounding works on the Yuba River and | the cutting of a new outlet which will relieve the city of Marysville in a great measure from the danger of overflow. approved by the Secretary of War and by Congress, this amount, together with the $250,000 already appropriated by the State, will very likely be spent in_ suca work this summer, which will make lively times in this section. The Legislature, at the extra session, merged into the new, which had a capi- tal of $25,000,000 and operated all the old works. This new firm was under the im- mediate care and supervision of Frick, as chairman, from 1892 to December, 18%. It reatly enlarged the capacity of its dif-| ‘erent works, enlarged their output and purchased other plants, ore mines, etc. Carnegie lived In New York, passed much of his time abroad, remaining away at onme time for elghteen consecutive months. He did not pretend to manage the current business, although he was | consulted as to important matters. The business from 1892 to 1900 was enormously | profitable, growing by leaps and jumps from vear to year, until in 189 the firm actually made on low-priced contracts in net profits, after paying expenses of all kinds, $21.000,000. In November, 1899, Carnegie estimated the net profits for 1900 at $40,000,000, and Frick then estimated them at $42,000,000. | Carnegie valued the entire property at | ordinance, if enforced, will prevent pool- selling at the State fair races, and it is quite generally conceded that, no mat- ter how vicious the poolroom as an insti- tution may be, a State Fair will prove ex- tremely tame without the sale of pools in some form or other. Mayor Clark is pledged to an enforcement of the ordi- nance, and he has reiterated this pledge from various pulpits, to which he had been called by the approving pastors to address their flocks, and from the stage of a public meeting of eltizens called to urge the passage of an anti-poolroom or- dinance. One director of the State Board of Agri- cuiture, who desired his name withheld, sald to-day that if the Agricultural So- clety could go back to the old plan of | auction pools and paris mutuels it would be something, but under the present or- dinance this cannot be done. Last year, said this official, the society got over $18,000 out of the bookmakers, and, profit- passed a joint resolution introduced by |ing by the prestige of the last successful | 0 nd avowed his y Caminetti, urging the Government appro- | fair, $20,000 or $22,000 could be expected | g:slrnurl mr‘»rlzxos:omus ngs hl: a.gexl‘lmnl\rc‘ | priation mentioned, and it will likely be | next September.

Since it al- | ways requires some close figuring to make the fair a success, sald this director, it will be seen that the falling off in income from this source would seriously affect the finances this year. Corporation Counsel Johnson, when spoken to on the subject of the ordinance and its relation o the State Fair, made the cheerful observation that the fair was vet a long way off. It is not improbable, men about town think, that by next Sep- tember the - anti-gambling ~crusade whi have parted with sdmething of its present snap and vigor, and that the merry shout of the bookmaker may again be heard at the State Fair grounds. negie actually received in cash and still | holds $1,170,000, gh‘?n him as a mere bonus | for his ninety days’ option to sell his 581 er cent interest in this steel company for 57,950,000 Frick's 6 g;fir cent on that basis would be worth $16,238,000. Frick now alleges, right at the head of this enormously successful business | whereby at least in part he made for Car- negie these enormous profits and values, | that Carnegie suddenly and with malevo- | lent intent toward him, on December 4, 1899, arbitrarily demanded of him his res- | ignation as chairman, and this without | any reason except to gratify Carnegie's malice.

This scheme, Frick says, he can prove was to reinstate and make operative an unexecuted and aban- doned so-called ironclad agreement of 1387, which related solely to Carnegie Br & Company, limited, and never did include | the Carnegie Steel Company, limited; and | also to attempt to make binding on Frick another so-called ironctaa agreement of 1892, which Carnegie never before had ex- ecuted, which Henry Phipps had always refused to execute and which many other partners had never signed. This agree- contemplated in 1882, Carnegie as Frick now alleges, was absolute- Iy vold in 1899, and yet Carnegie appears at a meeting of the board of managers of the Carnegie Steel Company, limited, held knew, January 8, 1900, in Frick's absence, and passed false and misleading resolutions | whereb attempted to make ¢ and reinstate the so-called ironclad agree- ment of 1887 and also directed his co-part- ners to sign the so-called agreement of 1802, which neither he nor many of them had heretofore executed. All this, it is alleged, Carnegle did secretly and pur- posely ' conceal the knowledge thereof from Frick. Carnegle was erabled to control his partners because most of them still owed the firm money for their interests and Carnegie, dominating the firm by a ma- jority interest, they were unwilling or un- able to withstand his demands. Carnegie induced some of his co-partners to sign the so-called agreement of 1882 and then without warning sprung upon Frick a no- tice on January 15, 1900, which he has also caused his co-partners secretly to sign and which was based upon the pretended | existence of the so-called ironclad agree- ments Carnegie followed this notice by com- pelling on February 1, 199, Schwab, the dent of the company, to transfer on ooks of the company all Erick's in- terests in the Carnegie Steel Company, limited, to the said company, and he now pretends that he (Carnegie) can practl- cally dictate to Frick the value at which he will take the interests. He claims that Frick is not entitled to anything for the good will of the company, nor entitled to have his interests valued as of a growing ncern, but that he (Carnegie) can use ©0ld and obsolete figures which have stood on the books for years in many respects unchanged, so as to reduce the value of Frick's interests to the neighborhood, he hopes, of about $6.000,00. As Carnegie owns one-half of the Carnegie Steel Com- pany, limited, he will, therefore, own more one-half of the 6 per cent | which Frick sel and if he can thus a quire 3 per cent of Frick's holdings what would amount to about $3.000.000 he | will make a net profit off that transaction | alone, based on his own selling price as above stated, in the neighborhood of | 35,000,000, Frick further savs that never since 1587 had either firm attempted to force a part- ner to sell. That no interest whatever was ever acquired under the so-called agreement of 1887, and none under the one | n? 1892, except that at times when the | financial condition and earning power of the company were radically different the company did purchase the interests of | three deceased partners, but by an ami- | cable and satisfactory arrangement with the representative of each. Neither in the whole history of both firms was it ever supposed that any partner had placed | himself in such condition that Carnegie | canld through personal malice force him | from the firm, and that jor arnegie to| attempt this in 1900 througn the Txlse of | roposed agreements which Jooked to the | Ronor and well being of the firm. to grat- $1,000,000 out of the scheme—probably more.” e Self respect is on good terms with t| 0Old Government Whisky.

The structure of the teeth plainly indi- cates that human beings should subsist upon a variety of food, meat, fruit and grains, and it is unhyglenic to confins one’s diet to any one of those classes to the exclusion of another. Meat is the most concentrated and most easily digested of foods, but our manifer of living is often so unnatural that the digestive organs refuse to properly diges meat, eggs, and similar nutritious and wholesome food, but it is not because such food is unwholesome, but the real reason is that the stomach lacks, from disease or weakness, some necessary di- gestive element: hence arising Indigestion and later on, chronic dyspepsia. Nervous people should eat Dplenty of meat, convalescents should make meat the principal food, hard working people have to do so, and brain workers and office men should eat, not so much meat but at least once a day and to insure its perfect digestion one or two of Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets should be taken after each meal, because they supply the peptones, diastase and fruit acids, lacking in every case of stomach trouble. Nervous dyspepsia, catarrh of stomach, gastritis, sour stomach, gas and acidity are only different names for indigestion, the failure to digest wholesome food, and the use of Stuart's Tablets cures them all because by affording perfect digestion the stomach has a chance to rest and re- cover its natural tone and vigor. Stuart's 1'\<§‘Pnsm Tablets is the real household medicine; it is as safe and pleasant for the stomachache of the baby as it is for the imperfect digestion of its grand sire. They are not a cathartic, but a diges- tive,and no pill habit can ever follow their use; the only habit Stuart's Tablets in- duces is the habit of good digestion and good health.
