Monday Kvenliig, March 12. Tho British
forces, which, since the fighting nt Drclfon

buvo turned tho Doer position. Our cavalry
,'nro ahead. The Uocrs wore reported this
mornlnp about 12,000 strong, with eighteen
'guns In position on a range of kopjes com
j mnndlng the direct road to niocmfonteln,
which Is distant twelve miles.
The army has been following Kraalspntlt
I and wo nro now rather to the nouth of

All the divisions have Joined the main nd

that tho reform prisoners wero tried before

l)y advancing along Kranlsprult Lord

had entrenched themselves along tho Mod

direction. Wo found most of tho farms along
our lino of march deserted, with whlto Hags
I llvlnir over Dip houses. All the biloiiElnizt

signs Unit tho occupants left In a great
hurry, things being Uttered about.
lyO.VDO.V, March 12.-1:20 n. m. Lord
Roberts Is making a very rapid advance
nnd he Is ngaln misleading tho Boers by
continuing the advance southward Instead
of through the Hat country duo east of Aas
vogelkop. Ho will, probably Belzo tho rail
way south of Bloomfo'ntcln, and nlthough
unothcr battlo Is possible. It Is moro likely
. that tho lloers are only endeavoring to de
lay IiIm advance until all the rolling stock
of tho railway and tho stores and troops
from the Orange river district can bo gotten
away north.
, Tho distance between Lord Roberts and
tile V(reo State capital is now so small only
nboiit twelve; miles th'at ' It Is apparent
tho Boers either contemplate making a de
termined Btand on the outskirts of tho
town, or for strategic reasons best known to
themselves, aro allowing Lord Roberts to
occupy It after merely harassing his nd-
vnnce.
Tho numerical superiority of tho British
troops leaves no doubt In tho minds of the

PITTSBURG, Pn March 12. Lato this
afternoon tho answer of tho Carnegie Steel
company, limited, defendant In tho equity
suit of II. C, I'rlck.' to determine tho value
of his holdings in tlic company, was filed In
tho common pleas court. The nnswers (Hod
are for tho Cnrncglo Steel company, limited,
and tho thirty Individual defendants com
prising the stockholders.
Tho document tompleto makes nearly
20,000 words,, meeting every nvermcnt of
the plalntllf ln'filllest detail. It Is denied
that Andrew Carnegie and others named lu
tho plaintiff's bill, during April, May nnd
June, lSf)2, executed articles of association
for the Carnegie Steel company, limited, but
they did subscribe to nn amendment of tho
original certincnto under which CarneglVj
Bros. & Co., limited, had been organized,
as a limited nnrtncrshlti association.
I Thn nna.-nt .'.Id forth thti fltalnrv nt
Krlck's membership In tho association.
Frlck's Interest was hcqulrod nbout Jnnuary
II, 1S87, under tho terms of what Is known
as tho "Iron-clad ngrcemcnt," aud amounted
to 1100,000 of tho capital stock. In May,
1889, mi option was given to Krlck to ac
quire on January 1, 1891, nn additional In
terest of 3 per cent. This option wns abro
gated in November, 1S90, with Prick's con
sent, but as compensation ho was credited
In his account with tho association with the
sum of $138,110.08, representing the lucrenso
In tho book vnlue, of tho Interest covered
by his option from the time It was given
until abrogated, Subsequently he acquired
nn additional 1 per cent anil then 8 per cent,
for which ho made no cash payment except
ns hereafter slated, In February, 1S93, Mr.
Frlck was tho owner of 11 per cunt of tho
capital, upon which ho owed Andrew Carne
gie $1,809,191, balance of purchnso ;rlce.
Ho was not. howover, under his ngrecment
with Carnegie, personally liable, tho Inter
est acquired being tho ouly security which
Cnrncglo held.
Frlck expressed a dcslro to reduce his
holdings In tho nBsoclatlon, requesting Car
negie to purchase ut the book value p per
cent of tho 11 per cent held by him. Car
ncglo had no fears, such as Frlck expressed,
and agreed to tellevo Frlck of the chnrgo
which Frlck declared to be a burden upon
him. Carnegie paid him tho then book vnlue,
which was greatly lu excess of the price
paid for it by Frlck. After this transfer
Frlck held only B per cent or the wnoie, nnu
tho balanco due on that perccntago from
Frlck for the purchase price was finally ad
Justed and paid to Cnrnegle, tho payment
consisting of $129,000 In bonds of the II. C.
Frlck Coko company nt par, and $19,0S3 In
cash.
This Is all Frlrft has paid for Ills Interest
In tho Carneglo Steel company. With the
credits from his stock earnings tho amount
paid was only $300,000 all told for an In
terest worth $5,000,000.
No! Actuated hy Mnlevolenoc.
As to the valuo of Frlck's services, which
he nBsertii largely added to the success of
tho association, .Carneglo says that since
January, 1895, Frl'ck's functions have been
merely advisory, tho business of the asso
ciation being conducted under the direction,
supervision and, management of tho presi
dent, who held general executive power.
It Is denied, that Carnegie wns actuated by
'malevolent tn6tlvs In demanding the resig
nation of Frlck a's.chalrman, nnd It Is stated
tho resignation was demanded in order to
preserve harmony In the Interest of the as
sociation. The plalntllf was Informed by
Carnegie that ho had better resign for hln
own sake nnd to avoid the necessity of a re
fusal to re-elect him at tho approaching
annual meeting. This, however, It Is
claimed, was done In tho kindliest spirit
and nftei all tho acting members of tho
board of managers liad signed a paper re
questing Frlck to resign.
Tho answer sets forth that Andrew Car
neglo has been a member of the association
since lt original organization and nt tho
present tlmo his Interest Is t8 per cent,
('in lieu le JcNtliiK About l'rollls.
Touching upon tho profits of the company
and the attempt to organlzo a stock com
pany tho answer states that Carneglo while
at luncheon with tho plaintiff and others con
nected with tho company, by way of Jem,
undertook to make estimates cf tho prollts
of the company fot tho year 1900 and that
tho defendant, Andrew Carnegie, under the
conditions then existing, did make an esti
mate substantially ns averred In the ninth
paragraph of plaintiff's bill, such estimate,
however, being a mero guess at results to
be ascertained fourteen months In tho futuro
which wero then and are still Involved In
great uncertainty.
It Is admitted that the profits of the
company for the year 1S93 wero substantially
as averred. Tho amount, however, only refers
to tho difference between tho amount of
sales and tho actual expenses of manufacture
and lo not by nny means Indicate tho amount
uvnllablo for distribution ns to dividends.
It Is denied that tho nesoclntlnn has assets
which It could transfer worth $230,000,000
aud It Is asserted that on December 11, 1899,
the books showed that tho net vnlue of the
assets of the association were $7.'. 010,101. 06.
From time to tlmo the plaintiff has been
n member of committees appointed to re
value the assets and the values now entered
may he taken as the plaintiffs own state
ment of their valuo to tho fellow members,
on which during plaintiff's membership
moro than fifteen settlements havo been
mado with retiring members or the estates
of deceased members. It Is denied that ani
mosity has been manifested townrd tho
plaintiff from hlu failure with othors to avail
of an option given by Carneglo.
HiiiiilreilN of Millions,
In this connection It Is stated that the
price to bo paid for tho property of the
association and tho coke property on this,
option was $320,000,000, being on the basis
of $230,000,000 for tho property of tho asso
ciation ami tho balance for tho coko prop
erty. Carnegie was to receive for his inter
ests $100,000,000 In bonds and tho balance,
about $57,930,000. In ensh.
Frlck, it is claimed, has upheld nnd en
forced the so-called "Ironclad agrecmont" at
all times, opposing an attempt on tho part
of Henry Phlpps to make a chnngo lu the
original. During all tho years Frlck, as tho
active agent of the association, acquired tho
Interests of all retiring partners under Its
provisions. When a partner wns deemed
unsatisfactory by his associates lie was In
formed of that fact, generally by Frlck, with
tho statement that the company would pay
for such Intorests under tho terms of tho
agreement and If not ncceptod voluntarily
ho would enforco tho terms. This course
continued up to tho tlmo of his resignation
as chairman nnd manager of tho association,
and ho was the first to nttempt to ovodo tha
agreement.
It Is asserted that under the terms of tho
Ironclad agreement signed by Frlck his In
terest has been transform! to tho associa
tion and tho association tenders payment for
the Interest nccordlng to tho valuo as It
shall nppear on tho books of the association
March 1. 1900, and ns soon os tho books
are written up to that date tho plalntlrt will
bo furnished with a balance sheet nnd the
cash and notes will bn tendered him for the
yaluo of his Interests, the amount being
approximately $4,900,000. It Is averred that
the sum Is the full amount due Frlck,
Jb jjraeosltlon made by Frlck to arbl-
tratc the value of his Interests Is rejected
i because the defendants propose nt all times
'In .Maintain 1 1. I ,. , t-1 , .. n It,. nn..lnAl
under which tho relations of the association
and Its various members have been defined
since 18S7. declaring If the validity of such
an agreement cannot be mulntnlneJ it will
be Impossible In the future for this nssoc.a
tlon or others organized upon tho same plan
to contlnuo In buslnesn nnd by reason of tho
Importance and necessity of maintaining the
Integrity and validity of the Ironclad agree
ment the defendants decline nnd will always
decline to arbitrate tho queston of the
value of Frlck's Interests. They do not re
gard Frlck's offer as being mndo In good
faith. v

Tho building was a tbrce-story rrame
structure, formerly used ns a church, but
transformed Into n tenement house with
small rooms, scarcely eight by ten feet In
dimensions, opening into a narrow hallway
on both the second and third floors, form
ing a veritable llietrap.
This Is right In the heart nf the Italian
district and the greatest excitement pre
vailed. This feeling has been greatly Intensified
since 7 o'clock, when It first became known
that tho lire was of Incendiary origin nnd
within fifteen minutes of the time when this
report was llrt circulated men anil women,
well-nigh crazed by grief, ran tearing
around tho streets, looking for the man who
was responsible for tho frightful tragedy,
and threatening all sorts of dire vengeance.
Three or four minutes after ." o'clock this
morning tho lire was discovered, but long
before 'the lire apparatus reached the scene
tho Interior of tho burning tenement wa
peopled whli wild Italians, running hither
and thither, unable to Hud menna of escape.
VI any llclilcx Children.
Every room emptied ts occupants Into
those narrow little halls nnd there was no
escapo for the frightened tenants because of
the Jam. and they could not get out. There
wero at least twelvo families In the place,
sixty persons in all. of whom perhaps firty
wore children, unuble to enro for themselves.
Four men Jumped from a front window.
Several were hurt. The flnmes spread with
frightful rapidity and tho wind sent the
sparks southeast, threatening all the frame
tenements In that direction. The place wns
like a roaring caldron when tho firemen
reached tho place. The ladders were quickly
put In position and then began the work of
rescue.
One after another tho women and then Hit
men wero tnken down, while other llremon
devoted their attention to drowning out tho
Haines. This they succeeded in doing In less
than nn hour, but during that hour a fright
ful sacrifice had boen offered.
Nearly every room In tho house contnlned
Its victim. Few wero really burned to
death. Most of them were smothered. The
bodies were carried out by tho firemen.
In different places In the ruins human
bodies mny be seen pinned down by heavy
timbers. Tho rescuers aro clearing uwny the
debris in. tho hopo that hcwc may yet bo
rescued alive, but there Is Ilttlo ohaiico of
any ono now In tho ruins being alive. Two
victims hnvo been taken to the hospital. One
of them Is severely burned. The other was
Injured by Jumping from the second story
of the burnc.1 tenement.
Vlto Credavo Is locked up on suspicion of
having set fire to tho building. Crednvo,
with his wife nnil two children, occupied the
rear portion of ono of tho upper stories. He
wns arrested on a statement made by Vir
ginia Dl Prula, who was a boarder In tho
house. Dl Prulu told Captain Edwards that
when he wns awakened by the smnko ho
found Credavo and his family fully dressed
and ready to leave the burning building.
When Crednvo was taken to the station
house ho beenmo much excited, but denle I
that he had set flro to the building or had
nny knowledge as to tho origin of the fire.
Ocena Caslna, who was reported among
tho dead, wns discovered allvo during the
day, and Is nt a neighbor's houie.
The man who died In the city hospital was
ntonlo Rossa.
