THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, TUESDAY, I-EBRUARY 19, 1889.
THE LIGHTMG ROD
Remains as Mnch an Article of Util
ity as it Was Years Ago,
BDT 92 FACTORIES DWINDLE TO 4.
Consolidation and Eailways Take the Eods
Off tlie Conntrj Koads,
THOUGH THE OUTrUT IS EK0E5I0US
Twenty years ago there were 92 lightning rod
lactones in the United States. To-day there
are but three, and those doing a tnfllntr busi
ness. The lightning rod was the biggest hum
bug of the nineteenth century.
So says a Chicago paper that ought to
know what it is talking about. The quota
tion was shown, however, to Mr. Hum, of
this city, ahd he remarked: "That man
must be a great scientist. Our factory last
year sold 40,000,000 feet of rod, and there
were 150,000 feet of it retailed here."
The topic is one not only of scientific and
life and property preserving interest, but it
is also of interest as showing the tendency
of manufacturing and commercial interests
toward consolidation for cheapening cost of
products and increasing profits at the ex
pense of small capitalists, who mu6t either
get out of the way or be squeezed out. It
would appear that the impression that the
business has petered out is largely caused
by the almost entire disappearance of the
wagons that once carried the rods through
the country. Thirty years ago a person
driving through the country would feel as
though something were missing if he did
not meet a lightning-rod vender. They
weie harbingers of summer; but they have
as effectually disappeared from view as has
the yearly migration of wild pigeons, a
feature before the war.
It is said the 100 factories or so that 30
years ago gave employment to an army of
distributors, have been consolidated until
there are but four left; but these can make
as much rod as could the 100, and since rail
ways have been built within a few miles of
every district east of the Mississippi, the
army of deliverers has been forced to hunt
other employment. The rods are
SOW KEIT IN STOCK
by the hardware stores, and can be had as
readily as a spade or any other agricultural
implement in most sections. The fact that
the business makes but little show of conse
quence in this section is explainable by the
now largely diffused knowledge that by the
great multiplication of conductors the accu
mulation of opposite electricities in quanti
ties sufficient to produce destructive dis
charges is prevented, and thus it is that
houses in cities are rarely struck, or vessels
where many are lying together in the docks"
Isolated houses are more commonly the oh
jects of the lightning stroke.
Some years ago a writer, advancing this
hvDothesis.argued further that the building
ot railways and telegraph lines had so con
duced to the multiplication of conductors
that the accumulation of opposite electrici
ties in quantities sufficient to produce de
structive discharges was prevented thereby
the fluid being so greatly diffused that its
concentration to the extent known in former
days was a physical impossibility.
It is certain that we have not the fear of
lightning that people had 30 years or more
ago; and it is nop- familiarity with it that
has bred contempt, for it will not allow that
feeling to grow. It still refuses to be fooled
with as strenuously as in the days when
Franklin was making Jiis experiments, and
when the French struck a medal in his
honor bearing the inscription: Eripuit
ccclo fulmen.
As the honor of this country is bound np
with the lightning rod, itis somewhat rash,
in absence of complete proof, to characterize
it as "the biggest humbug of the nineteenth
century," especially wtten it has received
not only the approval y European -as,r well
as American scientists, Tiut oi German in
surance companies, who
HAVE PEOCUBED STATISTICS
on the subject which strongly support the
opinion that rods offer a great degree of pro
tection. Statistics of late years have done
much to knock props from under theories.
After theologians had spent some thousands
of years endeavoring to prove with absolute
certainty that polygamy was wrong, by con
tending that the births of the sexes was
about equal, infidel France munitioned the
theological armory by statistics showing all
the most ardent anti-polygamist could ask
that the male births slightly exceeded the
female.
The security aflorded by the lightning
rod has been more or less recognized for
2,300 years: but the fact that within the
memory of man fome people thought it a sin
to utilize it, shows what slow progress sci
ence formerly made against prejudice.
Few. unless raised in the backwoods, can
realize that the majority of people 30 years
ago recognized thunder as the voice of God,
as did the man of TJz., vide., Job, xxxvii.
Then this idea was as firmly fixed in the
minds of the majority, as was the belief of
Greece and Koine that Jupiter pelted the
earth with thunderbolts when things were
not running to suit him, and the story told
of the Pennsylvania Dutchman who had
paid money toward the building of a
church, but
BEFUSED TO CONTBIBUTE
for the purpose .of purchasing lightning
rods, on the ground that, if the Almighty
wanted to burn His own property it was no
body's business, simply reflected a arge
portion of public opinion at that time.
Doubtless there are myriads of grown
people in Pittsburg and Allegheny who do
not Know that, in 1S55, for a preacher to
wear a mdstache was regarded as a sin, by
many good people living betweenPittsbnrg
and Altoona; but such is the fact, aud some
of them had grave doubts as to the morality
of allowing the manufacture of labor
saving machines, holding that man must
earn his bread "in the sweat of his face," or
fall under the condemnation of sin. Most
of these old fathers and mothers in Israel
have gone over Jordan, and if they are
still possessed with the same views, and
able to keep track of the ways of their
descendants, there must be a vast amount
of sorrow in that "land that is fairer than
this." Perhaps, as someone said lately,
thev believe less and hope more" than thev
did here, or rather that they see things as
they did not here.
Meantime, there is enough lightning-rod
made each year to girdle the globe, and
have enough over to make a submarine
cable that would reach across the Atlantic
Reputations Made in a Day
Are precious scarce. Time tries the worth of a
man or a medicine. II os tetter's Stomach Bit
ters is a 30 years' growth, -and like those hardy
lichens that garnish the crevices of Alaska's
rocks, it flourishes perennially. And its repu
tation has as firm a base as the rocks them
selves. No medicine is more highly regarded
as a remedy for fever and ague, bilious re
mittent, constipation, liver and kidney dis
orders, nervousness and rheumatism.

A HEATI SHIPMENT.
Freight Agents After a Bis Contract for
the West nt Johnstown.
There is a heavy freight shipment at'
Johnstown for Los Angeles. The amount
will reach at least 50 cars, and will be the
rails and castings for the Temple street
cable road. The office of the Cambria Iron
Company is daily besieged with freight
agents after the contract
Agricultural implements are beginning
to move West. The majority ot the manu
facturers have large storehouses along the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers. About
this time of the year they fill them up for
the spring trade. The railroads from
Canton, Akron, Springfield and otherpoints
in Ohio, are having a big boom. The de
mand for reapers and threshers is better
than it has been for years. It is a good
sign that the farmers are prosperous and
progressive. Plows and implements to
break and cultivate the soil are always
needed. There are large numbers ot them
going to the "Western prairies.
The glass trade also is commencing to re
vive. Most of the orders are now in, and
the manufacturers are busy shipping to the
Pacific coast. Agents still complain of the
iron and steel industries. The coke ship
ments at present, too, are light, and taking
everything into account the railroad busi
ness is exceedingly dull just now.
WORRIED ABOUT HAKRISBURG.
A Committee of the Chamber of Commerce
to Watch a Railroad Rill.
At the Chamber of Commerce meeting
yesterday the Legislative Committee recom
mended that the coming St. Louis Con
vention be notified that they indorsed the
Lowell bankruptcy law.
Mr. Miller called attention to abill before
the Legislature, and thought that railroads
should be restricted to privileges enjoyed by
citizens.
Representative Dravo, of Beaver, said
there were adverse influences at work, and
the hard work would ie to get the Legisla
tive Committee to report on the bill that was
to remedy certain evils. A committee was
appointed to go to Harrisburg to watch the
bill, also the grade crossing bill. The
noted long delayed silver brick was placed
on exhibition, and the Chamber of Com
merce will bid 100 for it when it is put np
at auction for the benefit of the cyclone
sufferers. Its intrinsic value is about SIS.
TO THE INAUGURATION.
The
Pittsburg and Western Will Ran
Trains for Ren's Sake.
The Pittsburg and "Western road will also
sell excursion tickets to the inauguration.
General Passenger Agent Bassett stated
yesterday that a special train of Pullman
and day coaches will be run through from
Akron to "Washington on Saturday evening
before the inauguration. The tram will be
transferred over the Junction road to the
Baltimore and Ohio.
A number of people along the Lake Erie
road will take that line and the B. & O.
to "Washington.
The Wrone Rond Mentioned.
In alluding, the other day, to some of the
primary causes of the Grand Lake Coal
Company's failure, a Dispatch reporter
understood an informant to say that among
the company's first unfortunate ventures
was a connection with the Montour Bail
road. It should have been attributed to the
Shnuestown Road, as the company never
had any connection whatever with the Mon
tour line.
To the O. A. II. Division.
B. B. McXeirney, Marshal of the A. O.
H. division of the Catholic parade onWash
ington's Birthday, has issued an order
directing the members of Division So. 20,
A. O. II., and all Catholics of the parishes
of St. Agnes, Soho, and St. Stephen's, Hazel
wood, who intend participating in the dem
onstration, to assemble at the hall of St.
Agnes Church on Friday morning at 8:30

B. F. Meanor stole $149 from his farmer
employer in Moon township. He was
arrested here with $129 on his person. He
said he had taken it while the folks were at
church. Justice Gripp held him in S500

THAT MAHARNEKE TRIAL.
Printed Testimony Will bo In the. Hands of
the Board nt Noon To-Dnj A Decision
Expected by Thnrsdny.
The famous trial of Maharneke, Hospital
Steward of the penitentiary, charged by
Convict JlcPhillamy with bribery, cruelty
and general corruption, has been finally
reduced to black and white by Stenographer
E. J. Donnelly and his three lady assist
ants. The books, comprising several volumes,
with a total of over 600 pages, have been
neatly bound in black, and will be duly
presented to either Secretary Beed or Presi
dent George A. Kelly, of the board, fat noon
to-day.
The printed testimony shows some pecu
liar things, not the least of which is that
the testimony of Maharneke, the accused,
covers one-fifth ot the total number of
pages. This may be because he was so con
stantly interrupted by the accuser, by
the "board, and by the ladies
and their counsel present; but on
the other hand, the testimony taken
consists of more solid reading, and is less
broken up by questions and answers, than
nine out often cases that pass through Don
nelly's hands. This can be attributed to
the wide latitude given witnesses, who were
allowed to wander on in their own way,
unless something entirely irrelevant was
dragged in, when they were brought up with
asharp turn.
A glance over the sheets indicates that
the newspaper reports of the trial were per
fectly correct, not an item or "point",
having been either misconstrued or mis
printed. President Kellv said thattheboard would
be able to give a decision within a day or so
aftsr the printed material was in their
hands. .According to this, then, "Wednes
day or Thursday will show the first outcome
of that sensational investigation.

TO JOSEPH SLACK AND MARY ANN
SLACK, his wife, and all others, the heirs
anil legal representatives of Matthew Fielding,
late of the conntyof Allegheny, in the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania, deceased.
You are hereby notified that John F. Wheless,
William S. Riddle and Elizabeth RiddlePayne,
plaintiffs, have filed a bill against you and
Laurence W. Prophater In the Court of Com
mon Pleas No. 1 of Allegheny county, in said
Commonwealth, at No. 114 March Term, 1889,
the substance whereof is as follows, viz:
The said plaintiffs are the owners and are in
quiet possession of a piece of land in the First
wafd, Citv of Allegheny, Pennsylvania, being
lots Nos. 2 and 3 in the plan laid out by Edward
Stephens, recorded in Deed bonk vol. 80, page
55, said lots together having a frontage on the
northeasterly side of South avenue formerly
Bank lane, of 60 feet and a depth of 159 to an
alley.
Matthew Fielding, about the year 181G, by
deed duly executed, conveyed and delivered
gossession ot sam premises to iawara w.
tephens. The titlo of said Stephens is now
duly vested in said plaintiffs. And said Stephens
and his vendees and plaintiffs have been since
about the year 1816 in notorious, adverse, con
tinuous and exclusive possession of said premi
ses. Said deed from Fielding cannot be found,
and is believed to have been lost.
Laurence W. Prophater, ono of the heirs of
Matthew Fielding, asserts that plaintiff's title
to said premises is invalid, and that he and you
are the true owners thereof, and thereby pre
vents plaintiffs from selling tho same. And the
object of said bill is to obtain from the court a
decree that plaintiffs' title to said premises is
gi od and valid in law and equity, and to compel
you and Laurence W. Propbater to release to
plaintiffs all your claims to and interest in said
premises as heirs and legal representatives of
Matthew Fielding, deceased, if any such inter
est you have.
And the plaintiffs, having made search for
you in Allegheny county, and not being able to
find you, made affidavit thereto and presented
the same to court. Whereupon tho court have
made this order:
"And now to wit February 2, 18S9, the fore
going affidavit is presented in open court, and
upon consideration thereof, it appearing to the
Court that Joseph Slack. Mary Ann Slack and
all others, tho heirs andlegal representatives of
Matthew Fielding, late of the county of Alle
gheny in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
deceased, defendants in tbo case, cannot upon
diligent search and inquiry be found so as to be
personally served -with process, and upon
motion of H. and G. C. Burgwin, attorneys for
plaintiffs, it is ordered that the said Joseph
Slack, Mary Ann Slack and all other?, the heirs
and legal representatives of said Matthew
Fielding, be notified and required to cause an
appearance to be entered for them on or before
the first Monday or March, 18S9, to the bill of
complaint filed against them in this case, and
that a copy of this order and a statement of the
substance and object of said bill be published
as provided by law iu the Pittsburg Dispatch
once a week for three weeks."
Note. If yon fail to comply with above di
rections by not entering an appearance in the
Frotbonotary's office on or before the first
Monday of March, 1889, the bill will be taken
pro confesso, and a decree made against you in
your absence. H. & G. C. BURGWIN.
