INVENTOR BEISLIN BOBBED

Blind and Heart Broken Death. Givea

Him Rest How His Valuable Device Was Stolen. Pittsburg, March 28. John Brislin,

73 years old, blind and a well known

nventor. died here from a broken

heart alleged to have been brought on

by reverses sustained in litigation

brought by him to control his patents. Brislin was the Inventor of the famous

Brislin Vinnac table now in use in

rolling mils throughout the world. The

contrivance Is one that permits large and ponderous pieces of structural Iron to be returned Into the rolls after having passed through.

It works both laterally and vertical

ly. This and other features of the pat

ent permitted the manufacture of the machine-rolled heavy beam. It also facilitated the manufacture of structuril material of almost every type. In

fringement began as soon as the model was shown. The patentees sued. One court gave them the verdict, the next

court set that aside, and so on. The

Carnegie Steel company was the de

fendant In this suit.

COMMITTEE ASKS A KEYNOTE

Wants the President to Tell the Conn try Ilia Intentions.

The conference lasted over an hour,

during which there was a free discus

sion of the railroad situation. At its

conclusion the committee gave out tho

following statement: The committee submitted to the president that the

present railroad financial situation waa

creating a feeling of timidity and apprehension to sucht an extent that it thteatened an immediate curtailment of banking and business credit which

liad heretofore been extended to tho business Interests of the country, at a time when tho greatest possible demand for the further extension of credit prevailed for the development of the

Increasing demands of the manufacturing and mercantile Industries of tho

country.

It was ehown to the president that

the manufacturers, in the enjoyment

of their unprecedented credit, had largely extended their business in ths anaking of purchases necessary to fill

uriiers which require many months for

their completion; that the manufactur Ing and mercantile interests were ap

prehensive that a feeling of distrust

was getting a foothold which would lead to financial curtailment, and such restriction of credit as to threaten dangerous results to the great prosperity

that now existed in all avenues of m ilustry.

It was urged upon the president that

very great good would come to all in

terests alike if he would signify hi3

willingness to express in a public ad t'.ress, as soon as possible, the key

note of his creative and constructive

policy. The president was informed

by the committee that though the country's prosperity was very great it

vould toon become seriously impaired

Ty the creation of an uneasiness on the

- I art of banks and investors, and would lead to such distrust as to prevent the

supply of the necessary moneys to sat

isfy existing wants, as well as to meet

the unparalleled development of the

manufacturing and transportation inUiests of the country. The president inquired cr-efully into theprevailingmercantileconditions.and expressed himself as most anxious and determined to do all in his power to protect, preserve and encourage all legitimate business interests of every kiiftl. At the close of the conference the president thanked the committer for its frank statement of the existing conditions as they appeared tp tiiJ

JUST A LITTLE SPARK

St I., and in the explosion that followed oue man was torn to pieces, a boy ami two girls were probably fatally injured and seven other persons were burned. Henry Paul, a boy, was nailing the wooden bottom on a "geyser" piece when a spark from his hammer started a fire that almost instantly filled the room with shooting stars and blazing magnesia balls.

Arnold Huff, aged 30 years, waa

killed instantly. Ills head was torn from'the body. Paul was burned from head to foot, as were Helen Decker, aged 17 years, and Margaret Koski, 19 years old. DEVILTEY ON THE RAIL

Two ' Trains Wrecked in a Week nnd

It Is Believed by the Some Desperate Fiends. Philadelphia, March 28. The Pennsylvania railroad has announced that it will pay a reward of $2,500 for tho rrrest and conviction of the persons guilty of attempting to wreck its trains ou the Pittsburg division. The offer follows a second attempt, which derailed the train, but did not result in any casualties, although the plans o? the thugs were evidently to produce a horror. This last diabolism occurred near Wilmerding, Pa.; the first was at Stewart, Pa., last FTiday, when the Chicago limited was wrecked, and it ia believed that the same thugs are responsible for both. The evidence of attempted train-wrecking in both cases was conclusive. The reward is $2,500 in each case.

Railways Mustn't Raise Rates. Washigton, March 2S. Prompt action by the interstate commerce corn. m'ssion has averted, at least for the present, what might have developed into a serious clash between the coal shippers and the railroads of Indiana and Illinois.

One hundred and twenty-five street car men in the employ of the Montgomery Traction company went on strike at noon yesterday to enforce their demands for a closed shop, etc. President Apperson, of the street railway company, refused to consider the demands and also refused to take up the question of arbitration.

Of Interest to the RuraLs. Washington, March 2S. In a decision Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Degraw insists upon an adher ence to the regulations requiring that boxes on rural mail routes shall be erected by the roadside, so that carriers can easily obtain access to them without deviating from their routes or dismounting. Struck for a "Closed Shop." Nashville, Tenn., March 28. Because of differences over the employment of non-union labor in the shops of the Cincinnati Southern railroad at Oakdale and Somerset, Ky., the machinists have walked out. It is reported that other shopmen throughout the system will join the strike.

Magoon Ignores Cuban Law. Havana, March 28.
