BerLerosTe, Pa, Aug. 1.—The men work-

railroad, attached to the Chestaut Hill ac
commodation train, exploded at the Ninth

aged 30 years.
Injured: Charles Ryan, James Brien,
George Van Vert, L. P. Deveny and Thomas
Crispin.

Cast Steel Shells,
Prrrssuvno, Aug. 4-—Whils awaiting the
government's test of the Halbsworth cast
steel gun, the Pittsburg Steel Casting com-
pany has produced at their works a cast
steel shell, the first ever made in the United
States, or, in fact, in the world Saperin-
tendent Hamsworth says that a few hundred
steel shells have been made in England, but
they were cut from a forged ingot and then
bored, necessarily making them very ox-
pensive. The shells which the Pittsburg works
are manufacturing are conical in shape, six
inches in dimmeter at the largest and taper.
ing to a point of two and three-quarters
inches, including the point at which the cap is
placed. It bas an elongation of twenty-one
and a quarter inches and weighs ninety-five
pounds, requiring five pounds of powder for
8 charge, making the total weight 100
pounds, Fifty pounds of powder will throw
the projectile a distance of six and one-half
miles, and it will travel at the rate of 2,000
foot a second.
Mr. Hainsworth experimented with the
manufacture of steel shells two years ago,
but did not meet with success. The failures
in England, France and Germany in recent
attempts to produce a serviceable const stesl
shell urged him on to greater efforts, and he
is now confident his shell will fulfill all ex.
tions,
The Pittsburg Steel Casting company bas
received an experimental order for 500 shells,
which will be followsd by one for 2,000,
Ralsed to the Saprems Court.
Borantow, Pa, Avg. 8.-The Hon, Alfred
Hand, president judge of Lackawanna
county, has been appointed by Governor
Beaver s the successor of Judge Trunkey on
the supreme court bench. The news of bis ap
pointment caused considerable surprise. It
is looked upon as a mark of honor in the face
of the rumor that Judge Hand was about te
resign his present office.
Judge Hand was born In Wayhe county,

parentage. He was a boy of active mind
and body, and at the early age of 5 years
could ride any horse in the neighborhood
with the skill of a joskey. The Irish school-
mastor who gave him his first lessons in the
rudimentary branches found his pupil apt
and retentive, but restioss under the restraint
of the school room. “Little Phil® in his
early boyhood displayed the same ocourage-
ous daring, which his fellows termed “grit,”

become a student at West Point Military
academy. His way of reaching the academy
was manly and direct. He wrote to the
member of congress from the district in
which he lived, asking for the appointment,
and he got it, at 17 years of age. A good,
but not one of the best scholars, far above
mediocrity, but not at the top, he unfor-
tunately allowed his high spirit to lead him
to flog a cadet who insulted him, and was
sot back a year in his graduation. At 23 he
left the military academy, and on the border
ho was seasoned for the great work he was
later called to perform. When the war
broke out he was a first Heutenant, and when
. he was made a captain, standing sixty-fourth
in the list, it was his reasonable hope that he
might win a major's commission before the
war was over. In threo years he was a
major general, in five years more he was
Beutenant general, and fifteen years later he
asumad the command of the army in which
he bad been so brilliant and successful a
leader,
When Gen, Bheridan entered the Military
Academy at West Point the Mexican war
had just ended, and he came out just as the
troubles began in Kansas From Kansas
disturbances reappeared where the valley of
Virginia opened on the Potomac, Bheridan
was sont all over the country, being in the
infantry service—to Washington territory,
to Texas, to Oregon. He was only a Heuten-
ant when the civil war began, and was first
puton the quartermaster’s and commissary
service at Bt. Louis, and down with Lyon in
southwest Missouri There he probably
learned the art of making war and devasta-
tion short by burning up the commissary.
Everything be learned be knew well,
When Grant was selected by Halleck to
attack Fort Donelson, Sheridan was Hal
leck's quartermaster at headquarters. He
finally got a volunteer regiment from Michi-
gan and became its colonel, and whenever
he saw rebels, in whatever form or number,
he wont at them as if they were enemies of
the government. He was never one of theses
pelicans which carry their young emotions
in thelr mouths cerefally concealed in a
pouch. The moral force of the man was
what constituted his professiogal skill. He
was like a gun, which amounts 0 nothing
for its calibre, but for the gunpowder that is

war from the outset, be never had any com-
promise to make upon the commissary, con-

He was always whipping somebody, and
whipping bim badly.
Finally he got command of a dividon and
was brigadier genoral of volunteers. When
Bragg invaded Kentucky Bheridan was one
of the generals who followed him back. He
bad fought all over Tennessee when “they
made him major general of volunteers, and
he suddenly came out and took part in the
big fights about Chastancoga and Chicka-
maugn. Grant now took him to the east,
knowing well his mettle. He was in the
Wilderness fight, killed Jeb Buart at Yel-
low Tavern, and, after fighting many bat

seemed transferred from the mala army up
to the valley, where Sheridan was doing his
best $0 pay the government for educating
him. He had command of $he Army of the
Shevandoah, destroyed that side aisle to burn
northern towns and steal northern orops,
and when be bad cleaned the valley out be
went across the country and joined Grant
and cleaned the rebellion out. He followed
up the army of Lee, got on bis flanks, got in
his front, boat him everywhere, brought him
to bay, and sent him to Graat to give up his
sword,
When the war closed Gen. Sheridan was
appointed commander of the Division of the
Southwest, and later of the Division of the
Gulf. In the latter part of 1507 be was put
in charge of the Départment of Missouri,
with headquarters at Fort Leavenworth, and
in March, 1860, he was appointed lisutenant
general, with headquarters at Chicago.
Early in 1875, political disturbanoos threats
ening Louisiana, Gen. Sheridan was sta.
tioned for a few weeks in New Orleans, and
his presence had a most wholesome effect. As
an Indian fighter he was a great success, and
found bis superior cavalry genius of the
greatest value in chasing the rédaking out of
their mountain retreats into the open fleld,
where he could fight them.

and modestly, but has devoted his whole
