Embezzlers Tabooed.

ISTUAN'Aroi.xs, Ind., Nov. 20.—The frst case which ever arose in this State inder the law prohibiting a defaulter or (mbezzlor from holding office has been jailed to tho Governor's attention in a 'ormal petition asking him not to issue commission to Auditor-Elect Shuck,of Jennings County. J. C. Cope and W. A. Shuck were candidates for the office, and the latter was elected. Cope then drew up a petition, which he accompanied with affidavits, charging that Shuck, who had once served as treasurer of the ountv, left the office short in his accounts, and still owes the county $1,884. Both of the parties wero represented by attorneys and a legal argument was made for and against the issuance of ^ho commission, tho defense claiming

Jhat there had been no conviction for embezzlement or defalcation and that the Governor could take no notice of the charges until this should be done. The executive finally decided not to commission either of the contestants and Shuck's attorney will mandate him for the commission and thus take the question at once into court.

WABASH, Ind., Nov. 20.—The Indiana Steel Company will not build its extensive plant in Wabash- this winter notwithstanding the fact that the citizens hero have given tho company a bonus of $35,000, free land, and natural gas at low rates. The contract was signed sevoral weeks ago and it was thought the buildings would be under roof in December, but the stockholders allege that the recent election gives little assurance of the retention of high duties on steel, and they propose to pay all losses accruing to the Wabash Board of Trade and the firms which have machinery contracts and abandon the scheme. It is thought that $20,00# will be nocdod to moot all damage claims, and representatives of tho company are lu-re to settlu.

A. Giga-tic Combine of Harvester Manufacturers. ,,

MANY BIG COMPANIES CONSOLIDATE.

Tho Combination IIHS Capital Stock of .•36,000,000—The Object to Lsiitn Expenses and Competition.-

AVII.I, BENEFIT THE FAI1MER. CHICAGO, NOV. 20.—The charter of the jfvmerican Harvester Company was filed at Springfield Wednesday. This new corporation is one of tho largest in the country and comprises twenty-five mower. Hid reaper factories, all the cutter-bar factories in tho country and many twine and cordage works. Its capital stock is $35,000,000, and it will do the mower and reaper business *bf the world. The directors of the new company will be Cyrus II. McCormick, William Deering, Hon. Walter A. Wood, Lewis Miller, Colonel A. L. Conger *nd General A. S. Bushnell. Tho plans of this great corporation were drawn up in Akron, O., and were brought to completion last Friday at the Auditorium Hotel, where the heads of departments and heavy stockholders in the corporations interested were in secret session for four days. The following are the concerns inter ested:

McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, William Deering & Co., Chicago Piano Mann faoturing Company, Rockford, 111. Minneapolis Harvester Works: Milwaukee Harvester Company George Esterly & Co., Whitewater, Wis. Ames, Whltely & Co., Springfield, O. Aultman, Miller & Co., Whitman Barnes Manufacturing Company, and Empire Mower and Reaper Works, Akron, O. the Walter A. Wood Mower and Reaper Company, Hoosick Falls, N. Y. C. Aultman & Co. Canton, O. Johnstown Harvester Company, Batavla, N. Y. D. S. Morgan & Co., Brockport, N. Y. Adriance, Piatt, & Co., Poughkeepsle, N. Y. the Richardson Manufacturing Company, Worcester, Mass. Selberllng, Miller A Co., Doylestown, O., and Hoover & Gamble, Mlamisburg, O.

This is an actual consolidation and not a trust, every concern losing its identity and working under a corporate head known as the American Harvester Company. The country will be di vided in*.o three grand divisions, with a manager for each, aqd, while nothing definite has been settled, it is said that Colonel Conger will be made manager of the Central division, Walter A. Wood of the Eastern, and E. K. Butler of the Western. The output or capacity of the new corporation will bo about 150,000 mowers and binders annually. It will employ an army of 50,000 men and have 10,000 agents.

Colonel Conger, who has spent K#me time upon the matter, was seen pt the Auditorium Hotel and questioned concerning the now company. He replied: "The new company Is organized for the purpose of building harvesting machines. 1 can recall over eighty different companies engaged In the business which have failed, entailing a loss upon farmers, laboring men, manufacturers, bankers and tother people of between 135,000,000 and 540,000,030. While some companies have been succcssful, the general business was in such condition that some change became necessary to give tho farmers better maohlnes and at lower prices, if possible, and without disaster to the manufacturer. 5*he only way to accomplish this was by the formation of an entire new company, and the names of the directors mentioned will be a sufficient guaranty that the company will be successfully and conservatively managed. We have not decided upon all the officers. but it is understood that Mr. McCormlcU is to be president, Mr. Wood vice-president and Mr. Deoring chairman of the board of di. rectors."

No new buildings will be erected and D» establishments will be closed. The several concerns which have hithertc Seen operated as independent competiwill hereafter be operated undei management Tho force of salesmen will be reduced, as there will ns longer bo the fierce competition in the field which now exists. The company proposes to make binder-twine. This, however, is largoly a matter of the future. At present tho binder-twin# industry is controlled by a trust The American Harvester Company already has two twifie factories—one at Akron,- O.. and the other at the Deering vorks in this oity. These factories will be run up to their capacity, and unless satisfactory arrangements with the twine trust can bo effected new factories will probably be built The company does not propose to be at the mercy of any trust whatever.

Under the new regime the maohines will be materially improved. Heretofore the most valuable mower and reaper patents have been held by a dozen different firtns, each of whit^i controlled its own patents absolutely and was debarred from using the patents of the other firms. Now the individual concerns are joint owners of all the patents.

The object ot the formation of the American Harvester Company is to make money. At the same time the gentlemen who are at the head of the new en terprise claim that the prices of machines will be lowered. The expenses of operating, advertising and marketing will be muoh reduced under the new plan. Foreign agencies will bo combined. All shipments to Australia, for instanoe, will he handled by a single agent at Sydney or Melbourne hereafter, whereas each concern n«w has its own Australian agent, The immense savings, it is claimed, will permit a reduction in prices and also leave a large margin of profit for the company. The new corporation is a stock company and the profits will be distributed pro rata according to tho amounts of tho stock subscriptions. It is understood that one Chicago concf.ra has subscribed $11,000,000 and another $8,000,000 to the new enterprise.
