She leftlthe young man an hour before enjoying as good health as he had for four or ;flve years past, and she endeavored to allay Mr. Flemings fears, saying there was no reason for his anxiety. He remained down town, keeping ar appointment with Ald. Cox at three o’clock. In the middle of their busi- ness Mr. Fleming asked the alder- man to excuse him, saying he must. go home and see his boy. The two men drove to Mr. Fleming’s house at the corner of St. Claren’s avenue and Bathurst street, reaching there about 3.30. A few minutes occupied in showing the alderman over the place, and then Mr. Flem- ing went indoors to see his son. He found him playing with the baby of the household, and in response to his father’s inquiry as to how he felt, Everett replied that he was feeling quite well, turning the conversation to the child, and asking if she did not look pretty as she sat on his knee. Mr. Fleming was reassured by finding his boy so pleasantly em.- ployed, and in so cheerful a mood. He. went to the barn to look over his stock, and had been thege but a few minutes when he heard his daughter Rebecca scream. Hurryin-g to the house, he found his boy Whom he had left a. moment before playing with his baby sister at his last gasp.

Chairmen of Railway Order- Forn . Board of Conciliation to Confer With General Manager Mexicali. Pittsburg, AUg.. 14.â€"â€"Neither side moved decisively yesterday in the great industrial conflict between em- ployers and employes in the .steel trade. and the result is still in the balance. The strikers made gains at Pittsburg, McKeesport, Wheeling and Bellaire in the last 24 hours. but in the main the advantage is still with the mill owners. Both sides claim to be preparing moves that will bring confusion to oppon- ents, but neither side had shown its hand. The general situation last night can be summarized as follows: ‘ Five men, tWO of them skilled, quit ‘ at the lower mil‘ of the Carnegie Company in Pittsburg yesterday and joined the strikers. Their deflection represents the first break in the Car- negie forces of more than - 15,000 men. The strikers were jubilant over the incident, but the company claims to have filled their places at once. and that there will be no more de- sertions at any of the plants. The ‘ Bellaire plant, at which men struck on Sunday, was finally closed down yesterday, after working short- handed until Monday afternoon. When another start will be made is problematical. Several hundred boys employed at the National Tube Works at McKeesport went out dur- ing the night and day, and their act materially aided the effort of the strikers to finally tie up the plant. The works are going ahead shortâ€" handed. but the ranks oi the \‘vorkers are thinning, and the supply of material is limited. The strikers made gains at Wheel- ing. and the steel oflicials admitted yesterday that Benwood would be closed dOWn. Clark’s mill here is moving along full-handed. Lindsay McCutcheon are operating with a small crew, and the managers are planning to open Painter’s and in- crease the force at Lindsay Mcâ€" Cutcheon's. A break in the ranks of the men who struck at Painter's is expected, but the strike managers deny that one will occur. Another break is reported as possible at the Newcastle, but there is not as yet no positive indications of it. The American Tin Plate Company has a small force at the Crescent plant, in Cleveland, and is also planning resumption at. other points with non-union men. The Steel Corporâ€" ation has ordered that the Chartiers plant at Carnegie be dismantled and removed to LGCChburg. So far, good order has prevailed, although the steel officials assert that there has been intimidation (it. Wheeling, McKeesport and Pittsburg. Both sides express their confidence in ultimate victory. and are actively carrying forward their respective campaigns. The number of men out use result of the general ordur is now roughly estimated at 8.000, and on the three orders at 50,400. Figure: 0! at rikr.
