That Story From the Treasury on the
Imported Glassworkers.
ATTORNEY BREMEN HAS DOUBTS
H
Tfiat the Assistant Secretary Wrote for
Facts, or Talked.
OTHEE ttDUSTRIAL KEWS OP TDE DAI
William J. Brennen, Esq., attorney for
the Trades Council in the case against
President James Campbell, of the Window
Glass "Workers Association, for alleged vio
lation of the contract labor laws in import
'g men from England, returned yesterday
om the East, where he has been collecting
ita for the case. He refused to state,
owever, what he had done in regard to the
jnatter, sayinc that it would all come out
at the proper time. He discredits the story
that Assistant Secretary Batcbellor sent the
papers in the case back to this city for fur
ther information. It is now pretty certain
that the department
UEYEB TOOK THIS ACTION,
and the story was probably given to the
newspaper correspondents by one interested
in the matter. Speaking ot the case, Mr.
Brennen said:
"I do not think that the department ever
asked for more information when the papers
were sent to them. The statement that the
Assistant Secretary had asked lor evidence
of a violation of the law, and did not want
hearsay, may have been sent out by one of
the prospective defendants' friends. I do
Hot see how it is possible that the depart
ment could ask for such information. "We
had as good a case as anyone could possibly
make. The only way we could
have a better case would be to
have an affidavit from each Englishman
that he was brought over to this country
by Chambers & McKee, and their tares had
been paid by the firm. It -is preposterous,
however, to think that this could be done.
DOUBTFUL ON ITS FACE.
"Another thing that makes me think the
statement is false is the fact that the
alleged information came from the depart
ment. The latter is not in the habit of
furnishing such information to the press
until the matter in hand has been officially
disposed of.
"I saw United States District Attorney
Iiyon at Atlantic City, but he did not say
anything about receiving the letter from the
department. While in New York I read
the interview with H. Sellers McKee, in
which he practically admitted that the firm
had a hand indirectly in bringing the men
over. If this is trne I think it is admissible
evidence in any court that the law has been
violated and the men must go back. No.
there has as yet been nothing done about any
suits."
HASTE MADE SLOWLY.
bttilcers at tlie Carrie Fnrnnce Said to be
More Determined Than Ever Before
One Keeper Captured far the Mill.
The parties to the strike at the Carrie fur
nace have evidently set their teeth very
close together, and the struggle may be to
the bitter end. One of the strikers stated
yesterday that Superintendent Thompson
had gone to Shoenberger & Co.'s furnace on
Friday night, and had gotten Adam Brown,
a keeper from Superintendent Steel, Of the
latter furnace. Brown was promoted to
be night boss at the Carrie. The arrange
ment included the promotion of Thomas
Dunn to keeper. To Richard Breen, says
the informant, was offered a contract for
carrying iron, one that would soon make
iiiuiTUce lot of money, but Breen replied
ha" he was an old man, and wouldn't take
he contract, anyhow, under such circum
stances. The man who tells the news says the
Amalgamated Association and the Knights
of Labor have decided to put Brown be
yond the pale, and that he cannot get back
to Shoenberger's. This man also says there
has been no settlement made," nor will there
be until the six men now in jail are re
leased. No men can come to work until these
men are out and no settlement approached
without this being a condition precedent.
He also intimated that the companv
wasn't likely to get as good terms now as ft
might have had before affairs became so
much complicated, and that if strange work
men were wise they would not attempt to
break the strike.
ANOTHER STRIKE OF MINERS.
The Men at Ulster's Mines Go Oat Against
a Reduction.
The coal miners at N. J. Bigley's mines,
near Suterville, on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, are out on strike against a reduc
tion of wages. On Thursday they received
their pay, at the rate of 59 cents per ton.
The men quit work and on Friday held a
meeting, at which they decided to strike.
They refuse to work until they have been
paid 60 cents for their work.
The owner of the mine made the reduction
because his percentage of nut coal is smaller
than that ot other mines in the same dis
trict He says he onlv receives one-sixth
nnt coal, while the average should be one
fourth. The price for the district is based
upon the average.
TO MAKE THEIR OWN IRON.
Ollirortli, Porter & Co. Will Pat In a Norn
bcr of Paddling Furnaces.
It is reported on pretty good authority that
Dilworth, Porter & Co. are going to start a
rivet works in their new buildings being
built next to their mill on the Southside.
The firm will also erect a puddle mill and
put in a lot of puddling furnaces to make
their own muck iron.
The firm has been buying its iron for the
past few years, and has concluded that it is
cheaper to make it. Their large business
necessitates the change.
Wntchorn In Town.
Bobert "Watchorn, Secretary-Treasurer of
N. D. A. No. 135 Knights of Labor, passed
through the city yesterday on his wav to
Massillon. He stated that by Mon'day
every coker in the Connellsville region
would be at work. The trouble has been
entirely settled satisfactory to him.
TATE HELD FOR COURT.
Too Hearing Brseta Some Dnm&tiag Evi
dence Agatoit Him.
OliverTate, who was accused by Inspec
tor McKelvy with robbing the residence
of Gottlieb Killinger on ML Oliver, had a
hearing before Alderman Brokaw yester
day morning. The evidence against him
was very damaging. Gottlieb identified his
property, and Jack Giles, an ex-convict,
further criminated Tate by saying that the
latter had come to his store 111 Grant ntn-ct
and offered to dispose of certain property j
wmcu uu iiou uuuuoeu on ine oouihsiae.
Tate says he was ordered to watch Giles'
place by Sol Coulson, and that Giles has a
long standing grudge against him.
The evidence was so strong, however, that
Alderman Brokaw held Tate in 1,000 bail
for court, and in default of that amount
committed him to jail.

AN ALMOST PERFECT SYSTEM.
The Bureau of Electricity la This City
Favored Above Other Localities Utile
Things Slake Big Differences.
Chief Brown, who is progressive in his
ideas, has given Morris 'W. Mead, Superin
tendent of the Bureau of Electricity, unre
stricted power to introduce improvements
and adopt all the latest electric improve
ments. Mr. Mead, at the request of Mr.
Brown, visited all the principal cities
east of Chicago, and was able to make
a thorough investigation into the various sys
tems in use. "With the knowledge thus ac
quired he was able to take -out the qualities
best in the firebox systems of other cities
and incorporate them and produce a box
known as the Pittsburg Standard, or
,"Weight Secter box. The Gamewell Com
pany built the boxes,under the'supervision of
the superintendent of the bureau. In the last
two years 74 new boxes have replaced the
old ones, and it is the intention of the de
partment to place 60 more immediately. It
will be but a short time before all the old
boxes shall have been replaced. Mr. Mead
said:
"The improvements in the modern fire
alarm box, which are not incorporated in
the old box, are a ey contact which opens
and closes the circuit at one point instead
of three or four points. The point
now is made of platinum, which is
less liable to fusion than the old metal, and
this reduces the liability of fusing the
points of contact The platinum point
simpl, heats, without fusing. The new
boxes are -also made for greaterconvenience.
In replacing or testing wires a slip can be
drawn in which to pass the wire, which
greatly simplifies the old system, that took
hours to attach or test wire.
"Instead of using the old spiral spring,
we use a weight, which is truer in its
. gravity and does not get out of gear like the
spring. The weight secter box is more uni
form in its speed, easy in onerating and less
liable to any failure than the spring
service.
"There is also another reason why we use
the new boxes; thev are but one-half the
price of the old ones, which cost, ?250. The
new ones only cost $125."
Mr. Mead states that he is not the inventor
of the new box, but merely arranged the
various combinations. "The city is now
wholly covered by insulated copper wire,
said he. "This is one of the most prominent
features in the electric improvements. The
old iron wire had to be replaced every seven
or eight years; but the copper wire will
stand for 50 years. It does not matter how
many weights fall on the insulated wire;
they will not alter or divert the current,"
DALZELL IS FIRM.
The Congressman Refuses to Withdraw Hla
Pittsburg Candidate.
Congressman John Dalzell said to a re
porter yesterday that there could be no
truth in the report circulated by a Philadel
phia paper of a deal between Senator Quay
and "William Flinn whereby all opposition
to James S. McKean's appointment as post
master in this city is withdrawn. He de
clared he would never be a party to any
deal giving Senator Quay that which does
not belong to him. Councilman Ford is
Mr. Dalzell's candidate, and the Congress
man addc:
"I do not intend to abandon the contest
for the appointment of my nominee as post
master at Pittsburg until President Harri
son has refused to appoint him. The con
test is not, in my judgment, one of men at
all, but one of principle. No Bepublican
representative from this district in all our
Previous history has been denied tne rigbt
y a Bepublican administration to name the
postmaster, and no reason that I know of ex
ists why an exception should' be made now,
unless it is to be found in the dictatorship
of Quay, to which I am not willing to yield.
Mr. Flinn tells me that the statement that
the opposition to McKean's appointment is
to be withdrawn is, so far as he is concerned,
and so far as he knows, untrue.
"I believe, therefore, that the Philadel
phia Press article was inspired for the ex
press purpose of misleading' the President
as to the true condition of-afiairs. I do not
intend that he shall be misled. Of course,
if Mr. Harrison sees fit to ignore me in this
matter, he can do so."
"Then, what will you doy
"Oh, well, that is further along. T am
not assuming that the Administration is
going to humiliate me. "When it does, it
will be time enough for me to declare
myself."
BRINKER AGAIN IN TROUBLE.
He Is fined for Assaulting nn Old Man of
72 Tears of Age.
Charles Becker, of Howard street, Alle
gheny, has sued Alderman Brinker for (as
sault and battery before Alderman J. C.
O'Donnell, of Penn avenne. Becker is an
old man about 72 years of age, and his story
is a queer one.
He has a son about 13 years old, and some
time ago the boy was sued before Alderman
Brinker for some minor offense, and on con
viction sentenced to ten days in jail. In
company with his wife old Mr. Becker called
on the Alderman to inquire about the rea
son for this salty sentence, and he says after
arguing calmly for awhile, was put on the
street by the irate official. The 'Squire, it
is said, followed the old man into the street
and dealt him several severe blows.
No action was taken in the matter by Mr.
Becker till some days ago, when he was
suddenly arrested on a charge of assault
and battery, preferred by Alderman Brink
er. He was committed to jail on this charge
in default of bail. He thtreupon consulted
his attorney, Mr. Moser, and upon his
advice entered suit against the Alderman
for a similar offense.
The family oS Mr. Becker is said to be
highly respectable, and they have the sym
pathy of all their neighbors.
A COMRADE'S FUNERAL.
The 102nd Arranges for the Last Bites of
William J. Powers.
The armory of the "Washington Infantry
was last night the scene of a large meeting
of the One Hundred and Second Begimental
Association. The meeting was summoned
to arrange for the funeral of Comrade
Powers, who was killed in the sad railway
accident on Friday. The meeting opened
at 7 P. M., and a resolution of condolence
for the lamily of the deceased, comrade
having been passed, the funeral arrange
ments were proceeded with. The tuneral is
to be in charge of the "Veteran Legion, and
will leave tne residence or Comrade Powers,
150 Forty-fourth street, near Butler street,
to-morrow afternoon. The One Hundred
and Second will meet at headquarters,
Washington Infantry Armory, at 1 P. m.
to-day, and having received their badges,
will proceed in a body to the bouse.
Captain Fullwood and several other gen
tlemen present at the meeting were in the
wrecked train. Captain Fullwood pro
nounced his escape to have been lucky in the
extreme. He was in the smoking car at the
time of the accident, and so escaped unhurt.

: THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, STJNDAY, ATTGjUST 18, 1889.; J; 3 -
TO OBLIGE THE G. A. E.
The Pittsburg and WestenLleads on
an $11 Bate, Bound Trip,
OR A CENT A MILE TO MILWAUKEE.
It Trill Make a Difference of Hundreds at
the Encampment.
OTHER ROADS WILL MEET THE BATE
If the railroads in other parts of the coun
try refuse to make a rate of 1 cent per mile
to the Grand Army Encampment at Mil
waukee, Fittsburgers need not stay away qn
that account. The Pittsburg and "Western
road has made the first break, and will ac
cede to the requests of the G. A. B, veterans
from Pittsburg. The various railroad asso
ciations declined repeatedly to make
such a low rate, and it was prac
tically settled 'that the encampment
would be a failure. The delegates and
only those who could afford it intended to
go. As the railroad fare is quite an item
with the majority of the old soldiers, they
felt very sore that the general managers re
fused to make a less rate than 2 cents per
mile. Many of the G. A. B. in Pittsburg
had given up the trip; but the announce
ment of a 1 cent rate on the P. & "W. road
will revive their hopes. It comes, too, in
the nick of time, for the encampment will
begin next week.
"When asked about it yesterday, General
Passenger Agent C. "W. Bassett, of the
Pittsburg And "Western, said: ."Yes, it is true
we will make a cect-a-mile rate for the old
soldiers to Milwaukee. The distance to
Chicago is 453 miles; from Chicago to Mil
waukee 85 miles, making the entire dis
tance from Pittsburg 553 miles.
SIX CENTS IHBOWX.
"At a cent per mile the rate would be
$11 06 for the round trip, but we will make
it the even $11. The tickets will be good
from August 25 to September 7. In addi
tion, by applying to the special railroad
agent at Milwaukee, the time will be ex
tended 30 days to give the boys an opportu
nity to take advantage of a number of cheap
side excursions.
"To prevent the scalpers and brokers from
getting in their work, and to discourage
people who would buy tickets and only go
to Chicago, we will make a $9 rate to the
latter city for the same length of time.
The special train will leave next
Sunday, August 25, at 2:50 P. M. and
arrive at Milwaukee 10:30 A. M. Monday
morning. From Chicago the train will run
over the Chicago and Northwestern, I
think, to Milwaukee, and their share of the
$11 rate will be $2 55, so that the Pittsburg
and "Western receives only $8 45 per ticket.
"The same rate of 1 cent per mile will be
made for the G. A. K. in Southern Ohio.
General S.H. Hurst, the Department Com
mander, has selected the Baltimore and
Ohio road from "Wheeling and Columbus,
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton and
Monon roads' out of Cincinnati, and the
Pittsburg and "Western, "Wheeling and Lake
Brie and the Baltimore and Ohio from
Pittsburg as the official roads; but we had
made our rate before we had heard of this
action. I have already
CONTRACTED "WITH THEEE POSTS
in Pittsburg and Allegheny on condition
the cent-cer-mile r te would be made. The
Pennsylvania Company has bargained with
Post 128 at the same rate we would make,
and of course the Ft. "Wayne road will
meet us.
"Will the rates go lower? No; that would
be impossible. The rate is as low as we can
make it I mnst say that the G. A. R. has
treated us fairly. "When I broached the
subject to spme of the posts they, expressed
a willingness to stand bftthe road that Is
willing to help them."
General Passenger Agent A. E. Clark, of
the Lake Erie, said yesterday he was wait
ing to hear from Northern Ohio, and until
the Cleveland rate had been determined he
could not say what the rates to Milwaukee
would be over his road.
The list of delegates from "Western Penn-
Slvania to the National Encampment of
e G. A. B. are given below Among the
post organizations from this vicinity that
will attend in a body will be 128, of Alle
gheny, which will take 150 members via the

Mr. Samuel Wainwlght on the English
Brewers' Syndicate.
Samuel "Wainwright, son of "Uncle

tion of the explicit reports regarding the
operations of the English brewing syndicate.
Mr. "Wainwright denies, in one breath, the
existence of a syndicate, and seems to
admit it in the next, and, if correctly re
ported, states that while "there is no such
syndicate," yet there is an agent for it As
Mr.Wainwnght is reported, it's a sort of 'tis
and 'tisn't affair. He says a party of En
glishmen nave onerea u Duy brewing plants
in this city, and their agents have taken
options, which are put in the market and
floated on the British public by bankers.
Mr. "Wainwright thinks that if the En
glish do buy American breweries, the pres
ent owners will get them back again cheaply
in time. He says his firm has not sold out,
and he doesn't think it will. Two of the
company are away; but previous to leaving
they refused to consider the proposition.
He slid, however, that the second proposi
tion was better than the first, and he didn't
know whether it might not be a temptation
sufficient to sell.

BARBERS IN SUMMER,
They Have One-Third Lens Work in Cities
Then Still They Skip Tbelr Union in
PlttsbnrK a Splendid Thine.
"When the grass is on the ground, the
journeyman barber is boss; when there's
snow, his boss is." That is the adage
quoted by a well-known artist of the raior
and shears, in George "Wills' shop yesterday
afternoon.
"Why?" asked a reporter, on whose
cheek the razor had just been nicked, bent
and laid tip with an "Och, hone!" for re
pairs. '
"Well.you see.it's thisway: .A bit of sun
shine makes a barber mighty independent
Hot weather comes on, and he throws up a
good steady job in Pittsburg and skips off to
the seashore, where he can wear a red-and-yellow
blazer, a rhynstone stud as big as a
cherry in his shirt bosom, and wages from
$6 to $8 and $10 a week ahead of Pittsburg,
in his mind.'
"But they can't all come back to sits in
the city in. the fall or winter, can they?"
"Nixeyl They can come back to walk
around on their uppers. Their sits have
been filled in the summer, and I've seen
many a good barber willing to work for
little more than his board in the winter, be
cause he'd been fooL enongh to go skipping
around at the resorts in summer. This
town'll be overrun with these artists next
winter."
"Why this city, more than others?"
"Because our Barbers' Union here has
begun to get its hooks in, and has made this
a better town to work in shorter hours, and
uniform, and no Sunday work."
"But don't the other big cities have bar
bers' unions ?"
"Nixeyl New York, Boston, Philadel
phia, Chicago and, other big places are just
beginning to 'tumble.' Their 'best jour
barbers are communicating with our Bar
bers' Union officials, wanting to know how
we worked it to get shorter hours and no
Sunday work. They all want it that way,
too. s
"There are about 600 barbers in Pittsburg
now only half of 'em in the onion. A shop
with nobody in it but the boss and an ap
prentice hair-puller won't go into the union,
as a matter of course. Still, the organiza
tion has the inside track."
"And is there less barbers business in
the cities in summer, as well as fewer bar
bers?" "Well, I should gesticulatel At least
one-third of our regular customers are away
at the seashore, or in the country some
where." And the reporter had got all this informa
tion, together with a shave that disabled
three razors, for only 10 cents!
A POSSIBLE E0W 15 BT0EEL
Who Shall Stand the Cost of Widening
William Streetf
A speck of war, at present so larger than
a man's hand, but more likely to grow into
formidable proportions, has been descried
in William street, lately Gray's road, Thirty-second
ward. The new incline plane of
the Castle Shannon Bailway Company is
but six feet above the street level on the
lower side, and consequently there is scarce
room to drive a wagon along it, and a car
riage or top buggy could not pass under.
The widening necessary will necessitate the
Grading away of the bank 20 feet into the
ill for a distance of 200 feet along the
street
The grading must be done, and it hasn't
yet been settled whether or no the railway
company will do it voluntarily. Some of
the citizens say that if it doesn't the band
wfll play vigorously in the approximate fu
ture. THEIR AM0AL MEETING.

Divorce Proceedings.
QE5EEAL HEWS OP THE COUNTY C0TJKTS
John J. McGirr yesterday filed a suit
against William McKay, a licensed saloon
keeper in McKeesport, for $876, the bal
ance due him for aiding McKay and others
to procure retail liquor licenses for this
year. '
McGirr states that last January he made
an agreement with McKay whereby he was
to publish an editorial in the McKeesport
Sunday Herald recommending 17 appli
cants, including McKay, for retail liquor
license in McKeesport He was to receive
$25 for each name so published, and $75 ad
tional for each one that was successful in
getting a license. The editorial. was pub
lished on January 13. Six of those so
recommended received licenses, including
McKay. '
In addition to this McGirr made several
trips to Pittsburg and about McKeesport,
and he claims it was largely due to him
that McKay got his license. The value of
his time for this was $100. He also, at the
instance of McKay, published an Inter
view with W. S. Bailey approving Mc
Kay's application. For this he was to re
ceive $50. Two sets of books were opened
and posted for McKay, making $70 more.
The total bill was $1,095, of which McGirr
has received $218, leaving still due $876.
THE HESBIT DIY0ECE.
The Wife Asks for Support From Hor Es
tranged Husband. e
Mrs. Virginia E. Nesbit, the wife of
Councilman William W. Nesbit, yesterday
petitioned the Court for an order on her
husband to give her an allowance for sup
port and a reasonable amount for counsel
fees, pending the result of the divorce pro
ceedings. She also asks that he be com
pelled to give up her personal property and
separate estate which he now holds. A rule
was issued on Nesbit to show cause why his
wife's petition should not be granted. C.
E. Cornelius was appointed Commissioner
in the case to take testimony.
Why They Interfered.
A preliminary injunction was granted in
the Common Pleas Court yesterday to the
city of Pi(tshurg restraining Philip Bender
and Nicholas Kramer from interfering with
the laying of awater pipe in the Nineteenth
and Twentieth wards. Some time ago the
City Councils appropriated $75,000 for a
water pipe from the Hiland avenue reser
voir to Smithfield street The main is being
laid. It is to occupy a part of St Clair
street, which was located some time ago,but
never formally opened. The defendants
own property on the street, and it is claimed
they protest against the pipe going down.
The hearing is fixed for next Wednesday.
Mrs. Reed Ahead.
Judge Collier made a decree yesterday
dismissing the rnle asked for by W. M.
Scaife, of the Chartiers Creamery Company,
to open up or strike off a judgment against
the company held by Mrs. Sarah Beed." Mrs.
Beed, the mother of Frank Beed, President
of the defunct company, lent the company
$30,000, taking a judgment note. Several
of the stockholders objected, saying it was a
conspiracy on the part of the .directors to
give the judgment note without any author
ity. The case will still go on in the equity
proceedings.
A Father' Act.
A petition for a writ of habeas corpus for
the release of Byron McKelvey from the
workhouse was filed yesterday. McKelvey
had been committed by Mayor Pearson, of
Allegheny, for 60 days, on a charge of
vagrancy. The transcript of the case shows
that he was so committed at the request of
his father, who also nles tne petition lor
habeas corpus. He alleges that his son is
unjustly and illegally imprisoned. A hear
ing was fixed for Monday.
Ready for Jury Trial.
Knox & Beed, solicitors for the South
Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, filed a
plea of not guilty, yesterday, to the allega
tions against the club made by Nancy W. Lit
tle and others through a bill in equity filed
some weeks since. The plea has the effect
of placing the case upon the issue docket
and the case will come up for a jury trial
in its turn.

ELECTEIO SCIENCE
APPLIED TO NOVEL AND INTERESTING
AS WELL AS USEFUL PURPOSES.
A Depot of Electrical Machinery and
Mechanisms.
Although the science of electricity is still
in an experimental state, few people are
aware of the numberless purposes to which
it is already applied. A visit to any large
electrical supply establishment would cer
tainly convince the average man of this
fact, as it forced a Dispatch reporter to
admit it when he visited the storerooms of
The Electrical Supply and Construction
Company yesterday afternoon.
This company, which is now located on
Liberty street, below Tenth, is the largest
establishment of its kind in the two cities.
A visit to its storerooms will iurniih sights
equal to many seen in a museum. The
building occupied is a large three-storied
brick house, and each floor is taken up by
some special electrical department
The Up story is devoted entirely to manu
facturing. A complete electrical machine
shop is here to be seen. The machinery used
is of the latest and of the most approved
types. Every improvement has been added
as it appeared, and all the machinery in the
establishment is run entirely by the force
of electricity. Steam power is nowhere used,
a five-horse power electric motor furnishing
sufficient energy for all practical purposes.
One is almost bewildered as he moves
through the shop, by the din of actively
working motors, or blinded by the numerous
lights that cast their shining rays on all
sides. All the appliances for generating ;a
current or for stopping its progress, for
measuring its force, or for switching it in
another direction, in fact all the latest in
ventions in the electrical world are to be
seen arranged on all sides of the building.
Some idea of the vast operations of this
firm can be gathered from the fact that it
has supplied Sterling, 111,, with street
lights, Oxford, O., with different electrical
auDliances. .Hamilton. Canada, and even
Sherman, Texas, with street lamps. The
signal boxes the only ones of the kind in
the United States which are now used by
the Citizens' Traction Company, were fur-'
nished and constructed by this establish
ment The private residences of many of
our most prominent citizens nave been sup
plied with alljorts of electrical appliances
from this source. ,
It is almost useless to try' to enumerate
any of the special features of this company.
One of the things which struck the re
porter's eye was the Herman Insulating
Joint, an instrument manufactured exclu
sively by this company, and designed to
prevent a current of electricity from leap
ing from a chandelier to the ground,
and at the same time to save
wear and tear on the motor.
The manufacture of electrical chandeliers is
one of the specialties of this company. They
can be had in all shapes, sizes and forms,
from the one light bracket to the 50 light
chandelier. In addition to this the com
pany is actively engaged in street lighting,
in manufacturing pole brackets, electric
bells, tableau boards, service brakes, suspen
sion lights, beside doing all sorts of model
work and repairing. The stockroom is well
supplied with goods, and all orders are
filled at the shortest notice. The visit to
this room of the company was especially in
teresting. Electric cells of all kinds shone
and rang in every quarter; burglar and
alarm instruments were especially prom
inent every species of battery and motor
was on exhibition. TheTesler motor, which
is run by an alternating current and on
which experiments are now being made for
street railway purposes, was subjected to a
current, and attained the extraordinary
velocity of 2,700 revolutions a minute.
The company, however, is only beginning
on a large number of improvements, which
will shortly add to the beauty and value of'
the store, it is the intention or those inter
ested to so increase the facilities of the com
pany that it will equal in effectiveness any
establishment of the kind in the country.
