THEY LOOK AT GLASS AND STEEL And Bide Through the Famous Iron Tun nel, Feasting on the Train. SIGHTS IX 1TIEESP0RT AND BRADDOCK Cinders to the right of them, cinders to the left of them, cinders in their eyes, ears, hair and nostrils, cinders all over them, held in place by a thin scum of oil; while in their heads yet rang thj sounds of steam whistles, heavy hammers and the muffled roar of the rolling mill. Nevertheless the victims appeared thoroughly pleased. Such was the experience of the members of the Bensselaer Polytechnic Institute alumni as they concluded a second day's sightseeing among the leading industrial establishments in and around this city. The excursion party left the Pittsburg and Lake Erie depot yesterday an hour earlier than on the previous morning. One hundred and seventeen persons were on board the train, which was in charge of Captain Erwin when it puffed out of the railroad yards. The air was rawand chilly, and, as quite a number had got up a little before breakfast time, they were about as happy as Mugwumos. Breakfast on board train restored their serenity, and, when the first visit of the day was made at Chambers' glasshouse, IT WAS A JIEEET CROWD of wisdom-seekers that was suddenly poured in upon the window glass workers. The various parts of the house were duly visited and admired. The train then ran to the American Iron "Works (Jones & Laujjhlin), where a second stop was made The shafting department in this mill created the most interest. No souvenirs of the inspection were carried away by the members, except a few daubs of grease on long winter overcoats. The iron tunnel on the P., McK. & Y. E. It., through which the party was traveling, was a source of much interest to the engi neers and railroad men on board. Thi3 uniqne tunnel is under Jones & Laughlins' mill, and has already been described in The Dispatch. At Homestead a visit was paid to the mammoth steel works of Carnegie, Phipps & (Jo. .Lunch was served on the train, while the run between Homestead and Braddock was made. It was ample and de licious; all that was required in that part of the programme. At 2 o'clock the party arrived at the Edgar Thomson Bteel "Works, in Braddock. Its ponderous machinery and wonderful mechanism, strange sights and sounds, were even a surprise to men who are daily accus tomed to expect anything. THET MAKVEL AT IT. "It is certainly a strange and wonderful place, your city." said an Eastern railroad official to the reporter, as he left the mill. Captain Jones, with his genial smile and little hat, met the party here, and insisted on honoring the occasion. He varied his duties by first driving a cart drawn by an objecting mule and then offering to give the party a iocomotive. A photographer bobbed up serenely, and pictures had to be taken. The only sun of the day even enjoyed the sight and beamed down upon the faces of the group until tears ran down their cheeks. These tears were neither of grief nor of joy, but of necessity. The little man with the photographic apparatus, who has a contract to take 100 pictures, even if the last five have to be his own, pressed the button on the weeping throng several times before he was noticed. At the National Tube "Works, in Mc Keesport, the various departments were visited, and the process of pipe making was demonstrated by practical examples. The last stop of the "day was made at Oliver & Roberts' wire and "rod mill, on Tenth street, Southside. The works, one of the party said (he was sober at the time), reminded him of an aggravated attack of Old Monongahela. The party arrived in the city at 5 o'clock. WITH S0KGS AND TOASTS, The Rensselaer Polyiecbniclnstitnfe Alnmnl Give a Succetaful Banquet at the Itlonon- enhcla House. The winter reunion of the Rensselaer Polytechnic alumni was closed last evening with a banquet at the Jlonongahela House. One hundred and ten members and guests were seated at a table arranged in the form of a horseshoe. Toast Master "William Metcalie, of the class of '71, occupied the seat at the head of the table. On his right hand was seated Mr. James Hall and on his left, Mr. "W. H. Body, the patriarchs of the school. At the conclusion of the supper the grad uates for a time amused themselves by singing old-college songs and giving their class yells and the Rensselaer Institute yell. Order was finallv secured, and Mr. Edmund Yardley, of the class of '56, made an address of welcome. Mr. James Hall responded to the toast of the R. P. I. He was enthusi astically cheered when introduced, and his health drank by the guests. In his re marks he said he became a student at the school in 1830, just eight years after its organization. The institute was the first mechanical school established in tbe coun try. It also ranks among tbe oldest agri cultural schools. Mr. Hall said bis life work as a geologist bad lead him away from following the history of the graduates of the school and he now regretted tbe fact The summer session of the institute was the foundation of the now popular summer school of sciences. He closed by thank ing the gnests for the honors which had been couierred upon him by the graduates present. Mr. J. Becker responded to the toast, A. S. C. E., with a few pleasant remarks. Otfer toasts were responded to by Mr. J. H. Peck, President of the school; Mr. "W. P. Mason, of '84; Mr. C. "W. H. Searles, of '60; Mr. George A. Just, of '81; Mr. E. Holbrook, Mr. V. Doughty, of '88; Mr. E. J. Jarrett, of '89. and Mr. "W. A. B. Starr, of '69. Mr. Clark Fisher, ot '58, formulated the resolu tions. The banquet concluded at an early hour this morning, and the reunion was ended. COUNTERFEITERS ARRESTED. Slick Schemers Who Were Ready to Slake . Brazilian Bills. New Toek, February L A man named Charles Miller came from Brazil to Brook lyn some months ago, and pretended that his object was to purchase some machinery. He had in his possession Brazilian bills which could easily be counterfeited, and Miller's plan, as alleged, was to make all the money necessary and flood Brazil with the bogus stuff. Miller formed the ac quaintance of Asa A. Packer, a wall paper manufacturer, and he let him -into the scheme, as he could purchase the proper kind ot paper without exciting suspicion. They made the acquaintance also of John Simpson, a printer, and a man named Mar shall, a photographer. These men held secret meetings in South Brooklyn. The police learned of their plans, however, and kept a sharp watch on them. The original bills of tbe Brazilian Government were photographed,, and fine negatives were taken, so that everything worked well ior the counterfeiters! The police, fearing that thev would get away with their outfit if further delay was made, arrested allo them late last night. The entire outfit, consisting of negative, plates, bills and paper, were seized. r. . : TILLAGE WATER WORKS. The Great Wells and Lofty Tunica That Serve Tovnii Throughout the West. Gbeensbtjkg, Kxx., February 1. One of the freaks of "Western enterprise ts the city water works 4 for the new-born city. "Whenever a county seat is definitely located in a new county there is a great dash for public im provements. They must have a grand schoolhouse, a grand county building, and then they must'have the town supplied with water at"public expense. A description of the system in this place will show how hun dreds of villages are supplied on the plains of the "West. There was, of course, no stream or lake suitable for the purpose, andthe sole re course was in a well. Accordingly a well was dug. It is 30 feet across and 102 feet deep. It was sunk through alternate layers of sand and clay to that depth belore a suffi cient stream of water free from alkali was reached. It was then walled up with stones laid in cement. Having obtained the water, the next thing was to distribute it. To do tbis a huge derrick was erected above the well, and on ton of the derrick was placed a tank holding 78,000 gallons. The surface of the water in the tank is ordinarily about 112 feet above the surface of the prairie on which the town is built. Two steam pumps of 80-horse power each were put into an en gine house on the ground, two being pro vided so that an accident to one would not leave the town helpless. The village thev call it a city here is said to have 1,500 inhabitants. The people do not exaggerate more than 50 per cent. The daily consumption averages about 16,000 gallons. To dig the well and provide the plant, in cluding the mains in the streetscost $47,000. The annual expense is about $2,400, or 41 cents per 1,000 gallons of water for operating. THE WORST IS TRUE. Report of Vice and Crime in Alaska Fully Confirmed. Poet Towusend, Wash. T., February 1. The steamer Aucon has just arrived from Alaskan ports, with letters and news papers. The Junean Free Press reiterates the stories of outrages on Indian women, and says the Indians will part with their daughters and sisters to white men for from $5 to $50. The Tougas custom house sub-port of entry has been abolished by the Government, and Deputy Collector of Customs Colonel Crittenden is temporarily appointed inspector afloat, vice Edward Haley relieved. Only a few days alter the port was abandoned a sloop load of whisfcy from Fort Simpson, 14 miles away, was smuggled in. The smugglers be came involved in a quarrel and a man named Snow was murdered by a man known as "Jack." The Indians turned the mur derer over to the authorities at Sitka for trial. The Indian who caused all the trouble at the Upper Yukon placer mines last year when the miners were trying to get estab lished there has given himself up to the au thorities. He says his people will never al low the miners to go into the Yukon if be is punished, but that they will murder the first party that appears. The schooner Active has been gone on a trip to Puget Sound since September 14, and no tidings having been since received concerning her, it is generally believed she has been lost. GIfINO IN HANI WAIS. A Bible School That Sends Collections to HI ore Than Compass Points. The Fourth Avenue Baptist Church Bible School presents the following highly grati fying report: The report for the four months ending De cember 30 shows an average attendance of 214; largest attendance, 264. The Treasurer's report for tbe year 1SS3 gives the total collections as 431 This amount was distributed among vari ous benevolent objects as follows: Hospitals, S2o; church at Carlisle, NO; home mission, chapel builders, Jlfl; city missions. $39; foreign missions, $87; charity account, 525; Allentown mission, $25; associatirmal missions, (64; home missions, 63; Baptist Orphanage, 20: publica tion society, Bible and Sunday school work, $1. These are the round numbers, and show how many points of interesting and helpful work are touched by the Bible school. Tbe plate collection on Hospital Sunday amounted to the goodly sum of $64. Adding to this the dne proportion from tbe amount now contributed weekly by the church for benevo lence, the total cift of the church to the hospi tals this year is $214.

Chicago, February 1. City Treasurer Herman Plautz has lost his menagerie, which, as told exclusively in TheTJis fatch, he drew in a raffle about a month ago. It will be remembered that when Mr. Plautz took his prizes home. in a back there was a circus as well as a menagerie. Most of Mr. Plantz's olothes were forcibly removed by the bear, and the monkey, es caping up the front ot the building, caused a cry of burglars and the calling out of the patrol. Afterward Mr. Plauts tried to give his bear away, and several times it escaped from his house and terrified the neighbor hood. Three nights ago the bear escaped again, and then the region of Hyde Park, in which Mr. Plautz lives, was disturbed by stories of another ghost wandering around streets and vacant lots. Monday night a police man saw the ghost and shot at it. Yester day afternoon an excited resident of Hyde Park rushed into the police station and an nounced, that a corpse was lying in a vacant lot not far from the Stobey mansion. The police hastened to the spot in a patrol wagon. Sure enough, under a big oak tree, wrapped in a white sheet, lay what was apparently the corpse of a man, with only a little bunch of coarse black hair sticking out at the top of the head. The police turned the bouy over, and, to their astonishment, un covered a dead bear. Around its neck was a large leather collar, with a silver plate bearing the name of Mr. Plautz. The officer who shot -the ghost on that eventful night killed Plautz's bear, which in foraging about had managed to get the sheet off a clothesline. The monkey is also dead, the poor little beast having caught pneumonia. Big; Fire In a Small Town, Caebon, Ind., February 1. The busi ness portion of Carbon, Clay county, burned to-night.

MEN'S, BOYS' n hi n 1 Ms ail (1 m Irilii his -AT VERY LITTLE MORE THAN'- HALF PRICE! GUSKY'S 4646AAAAA00 QfrOfr Great Inventory We shall commence our laborious task of stock-taking February 1 and as this seems to be a season for reductions we intend the few days remaining to us before stock-taking to ECLIPSE ALL OUR FORMER EFFORTS by offering everything, yes everything, at a price which will not only astound' everybody but beat anything within the "recollection of the oldest inhabitant" We intend that our customers shall every day this week reap the richest harvest of bargains ever known. The reductions we have made are greater than anyone outside our store has any idea of; we have not marked down prices in solitary or isolated places, nor yet on any particular grades of goods, but wherever the eye can see, in every department, will be found Teduced prices, reduced to such an extent that nothing whatever remains of anywhere near the original figures. If some sales are greater than others then this sale of ours is the greatest of 'em allj We've marked down every article and garment to a price which you'll wonder at, to a price which will cause everyone who ascer tains them and finds out the quality of the goods offered to be astounded. We haven't a single thing in our store but what is a bargain greater even than you think. Now, if you want anything we offer and want it cheaper than you've any idea of come and. see us as early as you can.
