Pakis, May 26. The machinery palace
of the Exposition is the largest building
ever constructed under a single roof. A re
markable feature of the building is that the
roof has no interior support except 20 great
arches, hinged At the foundation plates and
apex so as to providefor expansion and con
traction under changes of temperature. The
roof is glazed. The lower panels are deco
rated with heraldic designs. The ends of
the building are filled with toned glass.
Light is abundant and the effect of the
decoration is magnificent The length of
the building is nearly 1,400 feet, its width
370 Jeet and its height 170 feet A gallery
30 feet from the floor extends the entire
length on both sides. At the four corners
are steam generators for driving the entire
machinery. The power is communicated
by shafting placed on four rows of trellis
girders lying parallel with the length of
the building and placed in subways. The
engines are now working and there Is more
. power than is required.
SOME GROWTH.
An idea of the colossal character of the
exhibition may be gained from the fact that
the power available this year is four times
as great as that furnished during the exhi
bition of 1878. The American machinery
exhibit occupies one-third of the entire
space in this building, and is in all respects
but one more imposing than the exhibit at
anv previous international exhibition.
The exception is in agricultural ma
chinery, in which it does not show progress
corresponding to that manifested in other
lines. "We are indeed at a double disad
f vantage in this, for besides exhibiting
I nothing notably new, European nations
bave been successfully overtaking us in the
production ot our own machines. This is
especially trne of Great Britain, France,
Germany, Austria and Switzerland. la this
respect, as in others of equal importance,
we have snriplied Europe with ideas.
In 1867 there was an exhibit of machine
tools by Brown & Sharp, of Providence.
They were all sold. To-day tools made after
the Brown & Sharp patterns by Europeans
are universal in the exhibition. "When the
Internal Congress of Civil, Mechanical and
Wining Engineers meets here next month it
is apparent that the chief pleasure of the
American delegation, numbering nearly 300,
will be to point out the facility with which
American mechanical ideas have been
adopted by other countries.
rSKG AMEBICAX IDEAS.
These ideas are paramount "Within ob
vious limits they relate chiefly to steam en
gines and compressors, machine tools, ma
chinery for forming sheet metal, for rolling
metals into reams, lor working on rock and
stone by means of compressed air, for mak
ing wood screws, by roiling instead of forg
ing and for cutting the threads, and wood
working machinery. A Baldwin gas en
gine, built by Otis Brothers, attracts atten
tion by employing gas to run a dynamo lor
the purpose ot lignting oy means ot incan
descent lamps, the claim being that the
light "thus produced is more economical than
pas itself.
"Printing House Square" in the Ameri
can exhibit will be run with electric power
supplied by Pickering for the special ac
commodation of the presses, which are not
ify connected with the shafting, Neither
tt nr-Hoe has any exhibttfbut the
Tjlantwhen ready, wfh be considerable.
The Campbell and the Golding Companies
exhibits are the most important Several
type-setting machines are exhibited, in
cluding the MacMillan, the Thorne and the
Meng : ithaler .machine. This machine is
fnrnishdi with a phonograph, which dic
tates copy to the operator.
The mf other country exhibiting novel
improvements in printing machinery is
Great Britain., "We have a practical monop-
ingeniaua machines, which arej looked upon
as Yankee notions by Europeans, are ma
chines for salting and coloring butter,
which is matched by a French machine for
desalting and automatic weighipg, 8n
automatic American machine for making
corkscrews out of wire, a machine for weav
ing the covering on rubber hose, and a
Bourbon map bine.
AN ELASTIC EIEENITI.
It Seetan It Must Be btretcbed for the Ben
. cflt of the V. S, Building.
The following special telegram from "Wash
ington, which came to The Dispatch last
evening, shows that there really are some
thincs yet remaining which can lengthen
the eternity of Uncle Sam's lack of efforts
to finish Pittsburg's public building;
If he has not already reached Pittsburg, Mr.
J. N. Pattison, of.Phlladelphia, an Inspector of
the office of the Supervisinc Architect of the
Treasury, is expected to be here within a day
-or two to mvestiRate the condition of the Gov
ernment building, which has been depicted as
rather distressing by Superintendent Malone.
Mr. 'Windrim. the Supervising Architect
states to the correspondent of THE Dispatch
that the criticisms that have been advanced on
account of the cessation of work may all be
well founded, but that bo can take no decisive
step in the matter until Inspector Pattison has
made bis investigation and report Mr. Patti
son is asserted to be a gentleman of unusual
fitness lor the work delegated to him and to be
thoroughly reliable and above all considera
tions except of the least interests of the Gov
ernment.

It may be stated upon the highest authority
lat absolute dependence is not placed In the
reports which have reached the department In
regard to the character of the workmanship on
the building during the last three years. Mr,
"Windrim says lie is aware of the hiph reputa
tion of Mr. Patterson, the late Superintendent,
and he elves (treat credit to his statements in
regard to the cood condition of the building.
Beside this, he is well aware that freqnent In.
spections have been had, and that the work has
been wholly approved. .
In short, he does not for a moment imagine
that any considerable or important part of the
work will have to be torn down and rebuilt; if
Indeed, any of it at all. Under the circum
stances, however, he thinks that nothing can be
done until the dispute In regard to the con
dition of the building is settled by the report of
Inspector Pattison.
Mr. Windrim Is giving close attention to the
matter, and says, with emphasis, the people of
Pittsburg may rest assured the work will very
shortly be resumed, and the building rapidly
pushed to completion,
AEMLESS AND IEGLESS PENSIONEES.
Commissioner Tanner Decides that They
Are Entitled to 872 a Month.
"Washington; May 26. Commissioner
of Pensions Tanner yesterday accorded a
hearing to representatives of a class of
pensioners who lost both an arm and
a leg in tne service, one or both near
the body. The present rating for
such disability varies from 530 to $50 pe
month according to the degree of disability
incurred, and the pensioners of this class,
of whom there are said to be about 20, in
sist that they should be rated at $72 per
month.
Pension Attorney Bigelow made the prin
cipal argument, and General Lew "Wallace,
Colonel McLean, Deputy Commissioner of
Pensions, and others who were present par
ticipated in the 'discussion, of the question
following the argument The Commis
sioner, in rendering his decision, held that
a just and fair construction of the statute
justified the payment of $72 per month to
pensioners whose disability is such as above
indicated.

ELECTBICITT PEOaiDTENT.
That electricity constitutes an absorbing
problem of mechanical invention and phys
ical discovery is shown by the prominence
its apparatus occupies. Throughout
machinery hall and in various other parts of
the Exhbition there are 500 exhibitors in
this branch. The universality of the study
devoted to it is shown in the range of the
countries represented by the apparatus.
.Laese mciuue x ranee, liermany, ttreat
Britain, America, Belgium, Switzerland,
Algeria, Austria, Hungary, Chili, Den
mark, Spain, Italy, Japan, Norway, Portu
gal, Russia and Finland. The application
of electricity to machinery and to various
processes is making steady, if not rapid,
progress. The position of Alexander Gra
ham Bell and Thomas Edison is unique,
while the great discovery by ProJF. Elihu
Thomson, of the perfect lusion by means of
electricity of metals that do not amalgamate
in the forge, adds a third American to the
list of electricians first in the world.
Prof. Thomson's discovery is expected to
revolutionize processes and modify methods
throughout the whole scope of metal work
ins:, from the fine art of the goldsmith to the
coiossai unaertaemgs oi the cannon maker.
The Bell telephone is shown in the liberal
art section, not in machinery hall, as the
consent of the French telephone interests
could not be procured for wires.
EDISON'S EXHIBIT.
The Edison exhibit occupies one-half the
entire American frontage, covering 9,000
square feet It is the largest single exhibit
in the Exposition. It is devised to illus
trate in miniature most of the great prac
tical results of Mr. Edison's inventions. For
instance, the lighting of New York Citv is
shown by subways visible in the flooring,
with charts and apparatus indicating the
distribution of lamps and the control of
jorce.
His entire category of inventions, num
bering 493, is presented either completely
or by intelligible suggestion. It comprises
his contributions to telegraphy, electric
lighting, systems ot meter, dynamos, mo
tors, transmission ot power, railway electro
motors, telephonic receivers and transmit
ters and galvanic and secondary batteries as
used in the phonograph and milling ma
chinesthe electric pen, typewriter shaft
ing, the vocal engine and fruit preserving.
Tho phonograph and the American writ
ing machines are the popular delight of the
Exposition. Every nation will find one of
the phonographs speaking its own tongue, a
sufficient cumber of machines being suita
bly equipped for the performance of this
marvel. Air. Edison has made a discovery
in relation to the coating of the phono
graphic cylinders which will materially im
prove the quality of enunciation. The new
cvlinders are on their way here, but the na
ture of the tiivovery is withheld to insure

Woodbnrn's Congregation Will
Him to Europe This Summer.
Dr. B. F. "Woodburn, of the Sandusky
Street Baptist Church, Allegheny, was
agreeably surprised yesterday morning.
After the close ot the sermon Mr. "W. K.
Gray made a little speech to the pastor, and
told him that the congregation wished him
to take a three months' vacation this sum
mer, and they desired him to attend the In
ternational Convention of Sabbath School
"Workers in London. After that he was to
travel in Europe whither his desires took
him.
A sufficient fund was subscribed by the
congregation to pay the expenses of the
iourney, and they insisted that Mrs. "Wood
burn should accompany her husband.
The Convention of Sunday School Super
intendents will be held in London July 2,
3, 4 and 5. Dr. "Woodburn and his wife
will sail from New York June 19.
BOBBED AND BEATEN TO DEATH.
An Installment House Collector Bleeta His
Fate Near feammlr.
rSFXCUI. VELEOEiM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Summit, May 26. James "Walton, sales
agent and collector for a local installment
house here, was found lying unconscious at
the bottom of a high embankment about
three miles outside of town this morning.
His horse was dead, and the carriage in
which he rode was broken to pieces.
He told, when restored to consciousness,
how two men had asked for a ride and then
had beaten and robbed him, ending up by
loading him into his wagon and driving the
horse over the embankment He will die.
There is no clew to the miscreants. They
stole about $100 and "Walton's watch and
chain.
Thcte is probably no American citizen
better qualified both by study and experi
ence to write intelligently and entertainr
incly about tin plate and its manufacture
than Mr. John Jarrett, of this city, the
newly appointed Consul of the United States
to Birmingham, England, For the current
number of the Bulletin, published in Phil
adelphia, under the auspices of the Ameri
can Iron and Steel Association, Mr. Jarrett
writes on "How Tin Plates Are Made in
Great Britain," Beside congratulating Mr,
Jarrett editorially upon bis new appoint
ment, the .Bulletin, gives nearly two columns
of its editorial page to his descriptive arti
cle, which is reproduced below. It will be
considered of double interest in the Pitts
burg region in view of the g.reat promises
made for this locality in behalf of the re
vived and extended tin industry that is to
spring from the Senate tariff bill, if adopted.
Mr. Jarrett says:
Dear Sib: In compliance with your request
for a description of the manner in which tin
plates are made in Great Britain I take
pleasure In sending you the following Informa
tion. Charcoal iron is no longer used in the manu
facture of tin plates,andthe quantity of puddled
bars now used for this purpose is also very
limited. The bulk of the finer and better
qualities of plates is now made of open-hearth
steel, and nearly all the cheaper grades are
made of low-carbon Bessemer steel. We will,
therefore, deal only with our subject from the
bars of iron or steel (which in tin mills are
generally called "tin bars") to the finished
plates.
FBOM AH IRON BAB.
In the first place we have the bar, delivered
from the bar mill, several feet long, about
seven inches wide, and from one-half to live
eighths of an inch thick, rolled according to
the size of the 'plates required at so many
pounds per foot The bar is taken and sheared
into the required lengths, say about IS inches,
which would weigh about 19 pounds to the
piece. This would be the length of a bar re
quired to produce sheets 14 inches by 20inches
in size. The bar would eventually be rolled
into 16 sheets ot this size, 112 of sach sheets
forming a box, and weighing when tinned about
10S Dounds.
This niece of bar iron. 15 Inches lone, is Disced
in a reverberatory furnace, heated to redness,
put through the chilled rolls, and rolled into
what is termed "thick." It is then reheated
and rolled in "singles" until reduced in thick
ness so as to be easily doubled, after which it is
doubled, reheated, and rolled, three tinjks in
succession. By this time it will be seen that
the 19-pound bar is eight sheets in thickness.
In this shape it is rolled until each sheet is re
duced to the required length and thickness.
The whole mass 13 next taken and sheared into
two parts and the rough edges taken oft. We
have then eight sheets in each part adhering
very closely together. Girls are generally em
ployed to open or separate theso "packs," as
they are called, which they do with small
hatchets, protecting their bands with hand
leathers. The plates are now termed "black
plates."
THE TICKLING PBOCESS.
The plates are next sent to be pickled, that is
immersed in heated dilute sulphuric acid. This
process is now generally done by the aid of
patent pickling machines, among which are
Hutchings', Morris', Lewis & Hyde's and
others. The plates are .placed in a cradle or
receptacle, which is lifted by hydraulic power
and drooped down into a tank containing the
acid. Tho cradle is then riven a revolving or
other motion to make the liquid rush between
the sheets. After beinc subjected, to the
HE 8A1S HE JS 15N0CENT,
But the Jury Has Decided Opinions to the
Contrary. ,
Nsrw Oblsans, May 26.The jury in
the case pf Louis Claire and Jphn Gibson,
charged with murdering Hon. Patrick
Mealey, on New, Year's morning, 1888, this
afternoon rendered a verdict of "guilty with,
out special punishment" This case has oc
cupied the attention of the court for several
days and is the second trial Claire and
Gibson have had with similar results, the
verdict in the first case having been set
aside by the Supreme Court on the ground
that thi? testimony of i material witness for
the defense had been improperly excluded.
To-day when the verdict was read by the
elerk of the court, Claire shouted; "I am in.
nocent, so help me God." He continued
shouting in this strain and made a move
ment as though he desired to get at the
jurors, but was quickly overpowered by the
deputy sheriff and placed in the dock. The
prisoners were remanded.for sentence. The
penalty is imprisonment for life.

weaker, aiier wuicn iner are nurari in a
trough, through which a stream oi clear water
is continually flowing. They are then taken in
hand singly, and, If necessary, scoured with
sand and hemp in pads before going to the
"tinman."
THE5T GO THBOUOH GREASE.
Now comes the last process. The sheets are
Iron or steel so far. They next reach the tin
house, and are placed In a trough of clean
water ready for the tinman, who takes them
up singly and pnts them in a grease pot, con
taining oil. to soak. After being there a short
time the tinman places the sheets in a large
iron pot, containing molten tin, with a covering
of palm oil. "When tho tinman has performed
his part the plates are handed over to the
"washman," whose pot contains more molten
tin. After they have soaked a little while in
bis pot he raises them with tongs on to the
"hob" as he requires them, brushes the surface
oi eacn siae oi tne sneet, ana. alter again dip
ping them into a pot containing molten tin,
they are sent through rolls nhjch work in a
large pot containing palm oil. A boy, called
the "riser," now lifts the shefts and places
them in a bunch, and then hanis them over to
a young woman, who rubs thum in bins or
boxes of bran, one after the other, which takes
off the grease. Another young woman, called
a "duster." gives them another rubbing witli a
skin duster, after which they are taken to the
assorting room. Here they are carefully in
spected, and all good plates are classed as
"perfects" and defective plates as "wasters."
We have here described what is known as
the "palm-oil process." The principal feature
of what is called the ''acid-flux process" is
that. In place of palm oil covering the molten
tin, on acid flux is used, being made by a mix
tnre of zinc, hydro-cMorate and water. All
the best plates, howerer, are Still mado by the

A Tempest in
Prices.
Has there been anything
wrong with clothing prices?
There's a red glare of red-
tions.
What kind of clothing is
this? is the first questionvery
buyer needs to ask about it
There is reliable and unrelia
ble cloth and work. There
is nothing too mean to put
into some clothing. Shoddy
and poor trimmings and
slovenly sewing: they're all
used in some clothing. What
kind is it you are asked to
buyr"
There's no tempest at
Wanamaker's. Quality and
prices are guaranteed. Our
make of goods is unquestion
ably the best in ready-made.
It's never been above a low
price.
