$4,000,000 TO EACH
Pittstwrg Steel King Celebrates
Golden Wedding.
IIS FOUR CHILDREN HIS GUESTS
Fulfills PromltB to Distribute Wealth
Amore; Youngster "In Time
To Do Them Some Good."
Pittsburg, Pa, Sept IT. At the
golden wedding supper recently given
by htm and his wife, V. H. Singer,
one of the Pittsburg steel magnates,
distributed SiMoo.ooo among his four
children, each child getting ll.OOe.W
Through the filing of certain papers
in the Allegheny county court house
yesterday this fact came out. and was
later admitted by the Singer family,
which is one of the best and oldest
in Pittsburg The millionaire invited
Ins children to assist in celebrating
his golden wedding anniversary on
May 37. The children were the only
guests, and each found by his or her
plate a small "dinner favor" consist
ing of checks, bonds and deeds
amounting to S4.09,H).
The Singer children who received
Jt 000.000 each are:
William Henry Singer, Jr, land
scape painter, now in Norway.
George Singer, iron manufacturer,
Pittsburg, now in the White moun
tains on his vacation.
Mrs. WiilUm Ross Proctor, wife of
a Philadelphia architect
Marguerite Singer, youngest daugh
ter, now living with her parents.
Mr. Singer made his fortune in iron
as a member of the famous iron firm
of Singer, Nimick & Co. He also is
connected with many banking insti
tutions in Pittsburg, and is considered
one of the very rich men of the coun
try, his remaining fortune, after giv
ing his children their share, being
probably $15,900,000.
Mrs. Singer, who has a fortune of
her own, made through investments
by her husband, received several
pieces of valuable real estate as her
golden wedding present.
A peculiar feature of the cae was
made known late yesterday. William
Henry Singer, the son, who chose an
artistic career rather than the iron
business as his life's work, will scarce
ly be able to enjoy his millions in
America, owing to the great fear mi
wife bears for the "Black Hand." She
received a threatening letter at her
home in Sewickley, and it frightened
her into hysterics. Her husband was
finally compelled to take her abroad.
It is said they will remain permanent
ly in Norway, as Mr Singer expects.
in spite of bis wealth, to spend all his
time in painting.
Mr. Singer is following the policy
laid down by his lite-long friend.
Charles Lockhart. of the Standard Oit
company who some years before his
death, invited all bis children to a
dinner party, at which, under each
plate, was found $1,600,090. Lock
hart and Singer many years ago prom
ised each other that they would be
gin to distribute their wealth among
their children "in time to do the
youngsters some good."
GETS ANOTHER ROAD.
Union Pacific Secures Control of Chi
cago & Northwestern.
Chicago. Sept. 16 A report from
Wall street of a traffic agreement be
tween the Union Pacific and the Chi
cago & Northwestern, amounting to
complete control of the latter road
by the former, gained strength yes
terday in financial circles on the re
fusal of Marvin Hughitt. president of
the Northwestern, to discuss state
ments made in the Wall Street Sum
mary under the head of "Harriman
Properties."
The report is that the Harriman in
terests have absorbed the Chicago &
Northwestern by the simple device
of a guarantee on the stocks of the
latter company. It is pointed out
in the article, which appears to be
inspired, that the strategetic position
of the Chicago & Northwestern is
such that it will not come within the
meaning of the law that prohibits
merging or single control of parallel
competing railways,

cific Mail liner City of Para, which

only damage sustained by the liner

Indian Murders Recklessly.
Denver, Colo., Sept. 17. Frank
Howe, a 16-year-old Indian boy, got
possession of a revolver today, and.
riding through the streets of Pagosa
Junction at breakneck speed, shot
and killed Amee Uaker, the s-ycar-old

AEROPLANE IS WRECKED.
Orvitte Wright Injnred and His Pas
senger Killed.
Washington. Sept IS After hav
ing drawn the attention of the world
to his aeroplane flights at Fort Meyer
and having established new world's
records for hcavter-than-air fiving ma
chines, Omllc Wright yesterday met
with a tragical mishap white making
a two-man flight. The aeroplanist
was accompanied by Lieutenant Thos
E. Selfridge, of the Signal Corps of
the army. Lieutenant Selfridge was
fatally injured and died at S 10 o'clock
last night. Mr. Wright was seriously
injured, but is expected to recover.
While the machine was encircling
the drill grounds, a propeller blade
snapped off, and, hitting some other
part of the intricate mechanism,
caused it to overturn in the air and
fall to the ground, enveloping the two
occupants in the debris. Soldiers and
spectators ran across the field to
where the aeroplane had fallen and
assisted in lifting Mr Wright and
Lieutenant Selfridge from under the
tangled mass of machinery, rods, wires
and shreds ot muslin. Mr. N right
was conscious and Mid:
-Oh. hurry and lift the motor"
Lieutenant Selfridge was uncon
scious. His head ws covered with
blood and he was choking when the
soldiers extricated him from under the
machine.
Dr. Watters, a New York physician,
was one of the first to reach the soot
and rendered first aid to the injured
men. When their wounds had been
bandaged. Mr. Wright and Lieutenant
Selfridge were taken to the Fort Myer
nospttai at me oiner end ot the liekl
Mr Wright lapsed into a state of
sem-consciousness by the time he
reached the hospital, but Lieutenant
cllndge did not regain consciousness
at all. He was suffering from a frac
turc at the base of the skull, and was
in a critical condition.
After a hurried surgical examination
it was announced that Mr. Wright
was not dangerously injured He is
suffering from a fracture of his left
tbich and several ribs on the right
side are fractured. Both men received
deep cats about the head Mr Wr ght
regained consciousness at the hospital
and dictated a cablegram to his
brother at Le Mans, France, and re
quested that the same message be sent
to his sister and father at Dayton, O
assuring them that he was all right
Charles White, of White & Middle
ton. Baltimore, a mechanical expert,
gave this description of the accident
to Messrs. Wright and 5elfndge:
"The aeroplane was performing
beautifully for six or seven minutes,
when suddenly one of the nroneller
broke near the end. Tins caused the
machine to become so thoroughly out
of balance through centrifugal force
as to make it unmanageable, and it
made a dart to the ground white slit!
under operation of the right propeller,
causing it to strike the ground with
a great deal more force than it would
have done by gravity.
I do not led that this is any seri
ous defect in the machinery, but
merely want of better construction in
the propellers. Therefore. I do not
feel that the machine should be con
demned beyond this point I should
imagine that, when the machine made
the dart tor the ground, it fell at
the rate of M miles an hour. Wright
and Selfridge were not thrown out
The accident was due entirely to the
defective propeller."
, French Editors Worried.
Paris, Sept. 18 The French press
is displaying much irritation over vio-1
lent criticism ot the I-ranco-Spanish
note regarding Morocco that are ap
pearing in the newspapers of Ger
many; but the government is content
with the assurance received yester
day from Herr Stemrtch. acting for
eign secretary for Germany, that the
note would be studied in an amicable
spirit. If this is done, the foreign of
fice cannot understand how Germany
will be able to disassociate herself
from the other chancellories of Eu
rope. Cholera Is Subdued.
Manila, Sept. 18 The cholera con
tinues to recede During the 24 hours

One hundred additional inspectors

Honolulu, 5pt , t San Fran

was felt on the island of Hawaii I'M
day night, September I. and at mid
night the molten lava m the pit af
the volcano of Kilauea suddenly
ceased rising and immediately began
to run out below, the surface looking
like the water in a bathtub from
which the plug had been pulled.
The molten las a ran rapidly away,
lowering the level Instantly and
continuously until by Saturday morn
ing, or m something like seven or
right hours, the H0 frtt depth of
lava in the pit had all tun out, and,
except for the cooling sides of the
pit, there was no fire seen or heat
teit As the lava lowered in the pit
the walls scaled off in gteat masses,
dropping into the molten lata belww

enough to see this wonderful phe

The lava in the pit. then about M
