President Harrison sod his party passed
"through the city last evening on the return

the Chief Magistrate was present at the
'opening ol the Auditorium on Monday
knight He was accompanied Ty Mr. K. a.

rYr Taw tmviWIa ATYinnd the deiot were

Jwhen at 6:55 o'clock, sharply on time, the
wfirt KMiinn of the Eastern express rolled in.
pthere was no indication among the officials

15nw tl.fir trains that the President of these
fnited States had arrived in their midst.
IX WAS A SPECLAX.
The train, which included only the neces
sary accommodation tor the party, did not

course to the switches, and was backed down
on track No. 6. Here, by the time the cars
had been shunted, a crowd of about 100 em
Tilntrpunf the MmiuoT and a few outsiders
L had assembled, and they, throughout the 15
w minutes tnat eiapsea prior to uibucpuiuic
eastward, feasted their curiosity oy lengtn
ened stares at the President through the
windows of the car.
The first glimpse obtainable of the Presi
dent was as the train rolled in and drew up
toward the yards. He was seated in a spa
cious and comfortably upholstered chair in
the drawing room section of the Pennsyl
vania Bailroad President's private car, and
was engaged in amusing Master Benjamin

The car at rest a trio or reporters were
very courteously introduced by Mr. Halford
to the President, who arose and in an affable
'manner actnowleaged their greetings. The
strong light in the car was reflected
lrom the pale face of the President, who,
thonerh he expressed himself as being in
gj good health, looked rather more careworn

ceived there. The President referred in
eulogistic phrase to the magnificence of the
"hi Chicago Auditorium, and said tnat his

To a question as to whether he had been
approached on the subject of the "World's
Pair while in Chicago, the President said
that no reference had been made to it, ex
cepting that Mayor Cregier, in his address,
had mad" a facetious allusion regarding it,
and had said that they should view his (the
President's) presence as a good augury. On
an inquiry as to whether he thought any
connection existed between the opening of
the Auditorium and the "World's Fair, the
President said that he did not think so, and
5fr. Halford interposed with the remark
'that the building had been in contemplation
four years ago.
The President was requested by a reporter
present to give his opinion upon the pro
priety of G. A. E. men attending Mr.
Davis' funeral, but he evidently considered
the question in donbtful taste for he made a
non-committal reply.
To a Question by the same reporter as to
the postmastership, he answered that the
question was very improper. The process
of interviewing the Executive proceedea no
further, and The Dispatch representa
tive bowed himself out with many thanks
to the President for his courtesy. The train
proceeded eastward at 7:45 o'clock.

"The distiller is sure of his pay. He sells

TOOTH JERKERS PROSECUTED.
Tne Proprietor of the Pittsburg Dental
Rooms Held Id Ball Cheap Molar Ex
tractor. There is nothing in the statnte laws of
Pennsylvania to prevent you from pulling
an ox or an ass out of a pit on the Sabbath
day, whether yon have or have not a license,
but you are not allowed to pull an aching
tooth on that or any other day of the week
for pay. unless you have a license empower
ing you to practice the dental art in this
Commonwealth, and there is enough of the
trade union spirit in professionals to cause
them to see that the law is obeyed.
Dr. Greenawalt has made information
against the proprietor of the Pittsburg
dental rooms, A. D. McDonald, and a den
tist named Richard Foley, charging them
with doing an unlicensed business. The
information was made before Alderman
McMasters, and McDonald gave bail for
court and Foley for a farther hearing
before the same magistrate. The latter was
somewhat reticent as to particulars, but a
bystander stated that the practice of pulling
teeth for 10 cents each and pulling whole
sets for (1 25 could not be tolerated in a
land that had set its face firmly against
cheap Chinese labor.
"While this statement of alleged fact and
opinion as to labor demoralization was not
supported nor denied by Mr. McMasters, it
affords food for thought. "What baby would
desire to go through the pain and fever of
dentition and resultant ills that follow fre
quent mismanagement, when by patiently
gumming it, for say 18 years, until the ordi
nary time for cutting wisdom teeth has ar
rived, and the jaws fully developed and
large enough to accommodate the grinders,
when by so doing it might have a full set of
store teeth furnished, 8 incisors, 4 canine, 8
bienspids and 12 molars furnished for $1 25,
less than 4 cents apiece?
He who never cut wisdom teeth cannot
fully appreciate the sufferings by the little
martyrs. He who has been through the
mill after arriving at the years of discretion
will cheerfully get up at night in the coldest
weather, and in his nocturnal apparel, carry
the little sufferer aud soothe its anguish
until it cries itself to sleep.
There are many advantages resulting from
the use of artificial teeth. They
never ache, never get on edge, and
can be taken ont and cleaned daily
and the breath , thereby kept sweet And
clean and when all this can be obtained at
an outlay of $1.25, who, except one who has
his capital invested in the business, conld
for one moment think.of looking such a gift
horse in the mouth ?
However, it is a cardinal principle in our
politics that home industry shall be pro
tected, and beside, if one man pays license
and goes to the trouble of getting registered
it isn't likely that he will allow unlicensed
dentists to work, even if their suppression
should compel all the poor to gum it.
AN ENOCH ARDEN CASE.
Agent O'Brien Finds nn Old Man Who Hai a

At the regular meeting of the Humane
Society yesterday contributions were re
ceived from Samuel "W. Black, $25; Shoen

Bobinson, 510; Miss Jane Holmes, 510; Mrs.
"William "Walker, $10; Fred Binehart, $5;
Captain "W. S. Evans, $5; H. Sampson, $5;
If. J. Braden, $5. 'Squire Holtzman, ot
Braddock, remitted $10, the amount of a
fine imposed on John Wise for cruelty, and
Agent Cline, of Greensburg, remitted $30,
the amount of fines inflicted upon James
"Walters, Bichard and James Gallagher.
The society has in its charge a 4-weeks-old
infant of good parentage, which can be
adopted. Agent O'Brien is working up the
case of Timothy Monahan, who is too old to
work. Timothy's wife let him in England
some years since and came to America. Be
lieving him dead she married a man named
Burns. One of her sons knew his father to
be alive, but concealed the fact until trouble
arose. Monahan was sent for and confronted
his wife and Burns. Suits resulted and
Monahan found himself homeless. His
sons refused to. support him and his wife re
fused to have any dealings with him. She
exhibited scars in her neck and throat made
by Monahan 20 years ago. The sons say
that their lather afforded them no aid when
they were children and they would have
nothing to do with him. Chief Elliot will
be asked to take charge of the old man.

The Signal Service Tries MaaTallv to Find a
Blizzard, bnt Can't.
As a freak the weather, recently, conld
have commanded a large salary in any dime
museum in the country. The rain of terror
which has dampened the umbrellas, soaked
the shoes and generally discommoded the
public for some weeks was said to be fol
lowed by a cold snap or a blizzard within
the next 48 hours.
Climbing up the 169 wooden stairs which
lead to the signal observer's office, several
startling developments were at once appar
ent to The Dispatch reporter. The first
was the fact that Sergeant Stewart had been
superseded by the omnipotent McGinty, of
which fact he had been apprised by tele
phone, and the second was that his assist
ant, Mr. Smith, could not find any trace of
a prospective blizzard.
He went carefully over the map and
found the lowest temperature 10 above at
St. Vincent; that a low barometer ruled
over Southern Michigan; a high barometer
showed on the New England coast, while in
Texas there is, as General Sherman said
once, sheol to pay and no pitch hot. The
total results, Mr. Smith said, would proba
bly be a very heavy wind storm in the lake
region, but although the temperature would
fall in the vicinity of Pittsburg, no blizzard
need be looked for. The wind would be
very probably as high as the prices of Christ
mas presents for the next week between this
and to-morrow morning, but there would be
no very cold weather.

"The Monongahela House will be repaired
and continue in business at the old standi"
"The Monongahela House will be torn
down and replaced by a fire-proof business
blockl" Such are the conflicting declara
tions which one can hear Irom numerous
wiseacres all over town. No expression of
the sort, however, can be obtained from the
owners of the property, who would naturally
be supposed to have some interest in the
matter, and to know, if anybody does, what
they are going to do with the old hotel.
These gentlemen have not decided to tear
down the hotel, nor have they decided to re
pair it. There are quite a number of indi
viduals interested, and in such a case a deci
sion will be arrived at -only after careful
deliberation.
No meeting of owners and lessees was held
yesterday. W. S. Anderson & Co. were not
quite ready with their statement of accounts.
They will be ready this afternoon, and the
meeting will then be held. The appraisers
have not yet begun their work. The lessees
of the house are desirous oi continuing busi
ness, and wish to see the hotel repaired.
Mr. Anderson had a conference yesterday
afternoon with Architect Still berg. The
latter gave his ideas in relation to the cost of
repairing, and how long it would take to
prepare the hotel for reopening.

No Decision Has Been Rendered in
the TJrsnline Convent Case.
WA1TIKGONTHEREC0MHENDATI0N
A Syndicate Who Wanted to Give Mother
St. Alphonse $60,000.
THE BUILDING MAI HATE TO BE SOLD
A statement was published in an after
noon paper yesterday to the effect that the
decision of Borne in the TJrsnline Convent
case had arrived in the city and was in
favor of MotherAlphonse. It was stated
that an order had been received from the
Propaganda directing that $70,000 be ten
dered to the deposed Superioress in payment
for her share of the convent buildings. It
was also stated that the decree was brought
to the city by Archbishop Byan November
7, and the reason it was not given out was
on account of the defeat of Mother Gertrude.
The information contained in the article
was entirely false. No decision has yet
been made, and it will be sometime yet
before any recommendation is received from
Archbishop Byan. The facts of the matter
are as follows:
A year ago last May a meeting was held
in the rooms of the Columbus Club by a
number of well known Catholic gentlemen to
take steps toward settling the difficulty at
the convent Those who were present at the
meeting were the late James Callerv, "Will
iam Loeffier, James Phelan, A. F. Bleating,
A. J. Barr, John D. Scully and John Mc
Caffrey. IT ASTEDATED THE SOTT.
The meeting was held long before the suit
was entered in the civil courts against
Bishop Phelan, when the case was fully
ventilated in the' newspapers. The gentle
men at the meeting pledged themselves to
raise $60,000, to be paid to Mother Alphonse
with the understanding that Bhe and her ad
herents were to leave the convent building
and give Mother Gertrude no further trou
ble. A committee composed of "William Loeffler
and James Phelan waited upon Mother Al
phonse and offered her the promise ot $60,
000 if she would leave. The offer was re
jected and $75,000 were demanded for her
self and five adherents. The offer of $10,000
each was repeated and again refused.
This was immediately after Mother Al
phonse was deposed, and without the inti
mation ot an appeal to Borne the meeting
was called by James Callery with a view to
peace and harmony. "When Mother Al
phonse saw that she could not get $75,000
she entered suit against Bishop Phelan and
Mother Gertrude. In the bill Bhe claimed
that Bishop Phelan had exceeded whatever
power and authority he had in the church
and religions community in deposing her as
President of the corporation. The Bishop,
in his answer, denied interfering with her
civil rights. He claimed that in deposing
her he simply acted in his sphere of his
episcopal duty and removed her as the head
of the religious community. The case was
heard before Judge Stowe, who dismissed
the suit Then Mother Alphonse appealed
to Borne and renewed her appeal for pecu
niary reimbursement Pope Leo recom
mended that if the convent was worth as
much as represented $300,000 the easiest
way ont of the difficulty would be the pay
ment of $60,000.
THE OFFER HAS LAPSED.
An attempt was then made to secure the
$60,000 pledged at the meeting held a year
before. It was then found that the laymen
were so disgusted at the action of Mother
Alphonse in rushing into court that they
refused to renew their offer. They stated
that the deposed nuns had scandalized the
institution in the press, and refused to go
into any arrangement to raise money for
the benefit of Mother Alphonse. At the
request ot Bishop Phelan the matter was
taken out of his hands and turned over to
Archbishop Byan for his consideration.
The latter is still wrestling with the ques
tion of how to raise the money to recom
pense Mother Alphonse and the other
French nuns who are discontented.
The property is already mortgaged to the
extent of $100,000. The paper is held by
the estate of "William Thaw. The latter ad
vanced the money to the nuns to build the
house. There is also a floating indebtedness
of between $10,000 and $15,000. It will be
seen that the interest on the propertv, taxes,
etc., amounts to considerable and the insti
tution cannot stand another mortgage. It
is taxed to its fullest extent The addition
of a $60,000 mortgage to it, even if Mother
Gertrude, and her adherents agree to that
amount would handicap the institution.
"Wnen the .grounds were purchased from
the Zug estate, they cost .the order $35,000
for the 13 acres. The valnation of the
grounds and building now has been esti
mated by real estate experts at $250,000.
AN EFFOET TO BEALIZE.
No decision has yet been made as before
stated, and the truth of the matter is that
there is no case to decide. It is true that a
document from the Propaganda was re
ceived months ago, recommending that the
Sisters settle the trouble between them
selves. By this arrangement, if the prop
erty will permit it, it is said that a number
of building lots in the tract will be sold,
and the proceeds turned over to the dissatis
fied nuns. The front of the property on
Fifth avenue is mostly perpendicular, and
some difficulty would be experienced in dis
posing of the lots for building purposes.
Mother Alphonse sent two emissaries to
Borne to lay the matter before the Propa
ganda. There was no trial nor anv debate,
Mother Gertrude being disposed to let Borne
settle it without making any statements one
way or the other. In view of the fact that
there was no trial there could be no ecclesi
astical decision rendered. Tne only thing
done was the presentation of the statement
from Mother Alphonse that she desired to
leave the convent and found another house
in another diocese..
It was again rumored yesterday that John
Dnnlap had the mortgage of $100,000
against the institution, and the building
would be sold to pay Mother Alphonse and
the other five dissatified nuns $10,000 apiece.
A Dispatch reporter called on Mr. Dun
lap at his residence across from the convent
last night Mr. Dunlap said:
"No, I have no control over the mort
gages. They are held by the Thaw estate,
and I do not know whether or not there is
any disposition to sell the property. The
ground was sold by me as Chairman of the
Zug estate for $35,000. It has been consid
erably improved since then; but I could
not say what the place is worth. The build
ing cannot be used for any other than edu
cational purposes, and unless intended for
that it would not bring much at a sale. I
think Madame Alphonse will he recom
pensed for her labor and money put into the
institution."

Interesting Dednctiom-The General
Concensus of Sniiller Matters.
Thb manner In which the tradeln real estate
sympathizes with commercial Interests is shown
by the report of the Register oi Deeds, Henry
"Woods, which is almost conpleted. He makes
some remarkable revelations in his figures,
showing that although the amount of property
transferred is very great Jt still shows many
thousand dollars below the actual transfers.
This Is accounted for by the fact that a great
many transfers of property take place in
settling up a dissolution of partnership, such as
In the case of Bmith St Friday, or In the ar
rangement of an estate, such as in the settle
ment of the Hussey, Howe & Co. business,
when the consideration was only !L The total
is therefore far below the actual transfer of
property, but the whole showing speaks well
for the 'appreciation or fittsburg property, be
ing some 30 per cent ahead of last year's valua
tion and indicating an advance in values of
nearly 75 per cent within the last five years.

a resident of the Eighth ward. He is a
contractor and does hauling. Last July he,
had a contract tc haul the dirt from a cellar
being dug, and was dnmping it on the
wharf near Madison avenue. Two men
named Baker and Cnllinan were there, in
the employ of the Wharfmaster, to look
after the damp. Parks was in the habit of
leveling the dirt off when unloading it, and
the men told him they would do it
for him, at the same time asking
him for "beer money." He gaye them 53.
A few days later, on a Saturday,
one of the men told him that if he con
tinued to dump there, he would-have to pay
$20. Parks told him he was not able to pay
that mnch, and gave $10. On the following
Monday he was told to pay the other 510, or
take his dirt to Herr's Island. He could
not pay the money, aud was compelled to go
to the island, which caused him mnch extra
expense. He spoke to "Wharf master Light
hill, of the matter, charged Baker with it
kand Baker was dismissed.
.ai me meeting last mgui, iur. .rar&s saia
the man was Cnllinan, and Mr. Einstein
moved for a committee of investigation. The
matter was discussed at some length, but
Mr. Einstein gained his point himself, Mr.
Schadd and Mr. Groetzinger being ap
pointed to inquire into the patter. Mr.
Parks was ready to make his complaint
some time ago, but as the committee has not
met for some time, he was not given an op
portunity to do so.

MISS CUSACK AGAIN.
The Nnn of Kenmare Delivers An
other lecture on Catholicism.
SHE ATTBACTS A LARGE AUDIENCE
Her Eespects Paid to Cardinal Gibbons and
Bishop Phelan.
SHE FAILS TO EEPLI TO A QUESTION
Miss Prances Clare Cusack, "the Nnn of
Kenmare," delivered another lecture on the
Roman Catholic Church, in Lafayette Hall
last evening. There was a great audience.
Benches were carried in and placed in the
aisles, and many persons secured only stand
ing room. The auditors were apparently
people of intelligence. At least one-third
of them were ladies. A number of Protes
tant ministers were present Two police
officers were on dqty, one at the door and
another iu the upper gallery.
Miss Cnsack went upon the stage accom
panied by "William McMahon, proprietor
of the Home Hotel;Eev. James T. Mc
Crory, of the Third TJ. P. Church, and Bev.
J. W. Biddle, of the Union Baptist Church.
The venerable lady was dressed in black,
and over her gray hair she wore a white lace
cap, trimmed with ribbons of cream satin.
Upon her bosom were two white roses.
There was a general applause when she
stepped upon the rostrum.
XX UNPLEASANT MISSIVE.
Almost immediately after she took her
seat a letter was passed up to her. She ad
justed her gold-rimmed spectacles; tor open
the envelope, glanced at the sheet orv note
paper, and instantly tore it in two and threw
the pieces upon the floor. Then another
gentleman, a German, passed up a beauti
ful bouquet with his card attached. Miss
Cusack received the flowers with a gracious
smile, held them to her nose a moment, and
then placed them tenderly upon the table
beside her.
Bev. Mr. Biddle delivered a brief prayer,
asking God's blessing upon the speaker and
her words. He then presented her to the au
dience, saying that she would lecture on the
secrets of the Boman Catholic Church and
its political power. He urged the people,
and especially "any Bomish friends who
might be present," to give the lady a re
spectful hearing.
EECEIVED WITH. APPLAUSE.
"When Miss Cusack arose to speak there
was great clapping of hands. She bowed
deferentially to the tribute of applause. She
said:
"I hope we are going to have a quiet time
to-night If any man objects to my state
ments, the press is open to him. If any
Boman Catholic gentleman wishes to con
tradict me, he may hire Lafayette Ball him
self. On the occasion of my last lecture
the reports of disturbance were exaggerated.
I want to say at the outset that it is a waste
of time to send me anonymous letters. If
there is no signature to a letter I do not read
it. I received one just now. Idonotknow
whether it is from a friend or an enemy. I
did not read it A person must be either a
fool or a Coward who writes anonymous let
ters, and I don't want to have anything to
do with either fools or cowards. Ap
plause. THE QUESTION OF DOMINATION.
"The question is this: "Who is to rule
America the Pope or the people? Sev
eral voices: 'The people.' The Pope says
openly through his representatives that he
is going to rule."
She warned her hearers that the Boman
Catholic Church was rapidly fastening its
power apon the United States. She then
proceeded to talK ot tae temporal power ot
tne .cupes aou ot taeir private cuaracter.
She said that at "Washington at the dedica
tion of the Boman Catholic University
President Harrison was placed upon the left
hand of Cardinal Gibbons "among the
goats," while Cardinal Tascherean was
seated upon the right She complained
that Catholics had accused her ot dealing
in abuse. If she had done so she thought'
it was only fair to give them some of their
own medicine. She had attempted to illus
trate the evils of the Boman Catholic
Church by quoting from only Catholic au
thorities, "nothing makes Boman Cath
olics so provoked," she Baid, "as to state
some of the things they believe."
WHAT "WOULD MEND THE BISHOP.
In speaking incidentally of the enforced
celibacy of the priests, she said: "If Bishop
Phelan had a wife, he would be more amia
ble to the Sisters." This created laughter.
Miss Cusack devoted some attention to the
private character of the Popes, accusing
them of leading corrupt lives. She read
from a Catholic hook to show that the of
ficials of the church were corrupt during
the middle ages. She referred, as her au
thority for certain statements, to a Catholic
work called "The Silver Trumpet." A
gentleman in the upper gallery, who was
evidently an Irishman, called out, "What's
the name of that book ?" The name was
repeated. He called out, "I want to know
if you didn't send me." Just then a
big policeman tapped the gentleman softly
on the Bhoulder, and the sentence was not
finished. People on the floor cried to put
him out "Don't turn anybody out,,' said
the lecturer, "If a man Wants to be a fool,
let him."
. She proceeded to speak of he efforts of the
Boman Catholic Church to secure power in
the United States. She declared it to be the
ambition of Cardinal Gibbons to be elected
the first American Pope. "He would give
his two eyes to get there," she said. The
Cardinal she acensed of writing a deliberate
fslsehood for the purpose of hoodwinking
Protestants. From his latest book, "Our
Christian Heritage," she quoted, on page
482, a statement that the people of the
United States "live as brothers because we
recognize the brotherhood ot humanity; one
lather in heaven, one origin, one destiny."
She then quoted from the Boman Catholic
catechism to show the tenet of the church
that no person conld get to heaven except
through the Boman Catholic Chnrch. The
statements, she held, were antagonistic.
EEPEKENCES TO LOCAL PEIESTS.
In the course of her long lecture, which
was rather disconnected and rambling, she
referred frequently to Bishop Phelan, Bev.
Father Sheedy and Monsignor O'Connell,
and she made several digs at Father Sheedy
in speaking of the priests taking money for
the observance of chnrch services.
When Miss Cusack had completed her
lecture she said that she would listen to any
Eensiblc questions. The gentleman in the
top gallery, whose voice had previously been
heard, called: "Tell us something about
the town of Tralee." The policeman, who
had been all the time standing just behind,
again tapped the gentleman on the shoulder.
A young man sitting next to him arose and
said:
"The lady said at her other lecture, that
she left the Catholic Church because it had
changed its attitude concerning infalli
bility; that when she Joined it the doctrine
was that the church was infallible, but that
in recent years it had been decided that the
Pope was infallible. Since then I have
been reading Locke 'On the Human Under
standing.' He refers to the infallibility of
the Pope in express terms, and he wrote
over 200 years ago. "Will she explaia that?"
SOLD BOOKS AND WAS SILENT.
Miss Cusack listened attentively, but made
no reply. A man arose on the floor to ask a
question, and she responded to him. The
young man in the gallery kept his feet, and
insisted on an answer. Soon two or threo
of his companions stood up and assisted him
in shouting for an answer. NoneVas given,
and. then a dozen more, in a party, arose and
began to shout, groan and shake their fists
at the stage. Miss Cusack paid no attention
to them, and proceeded to sell her books to a
number of people who pressed forward eager
ly to eet them. The audience dispersed.

TEACHERS' WAGES.
The Present Schedule to be Continued
With a Few Exceptions.
At the meeting ot the Central Board of
Education last night, the only question dis
cussed was the salaries of the primary
teachers in the sab-district boards. The
Committee on Teachers arid Salaries had
recommended that the present schedule be
continued, except that thet professor of
physics be graded at $1,700, the pay of the
sub-grammar teachers be (55 a month for
the first year, and $60 per month for the
second year, and that primary teachers.'ex
cept step one, begin at $30 a month for the
first year, increasing $5 a month for each
year's experience until a teacher in this
grade, after five years' experience would get
$55 a month.
An attempt was made to get an advantage
for graduates of the Normal department by
an amendment which provided that a grad
uate of the Normal department should be
considered as having one year's experience.
As the actual experience these graduates
have is two weeks teaching this idea did not
meet with unmixed approval, especially
after the point was raised that this discrim
inated against graduates of the Academical
department, who go to the school a year
longer than the Normal scholars. The Aca
demical pupils were then included in the
amendments, but finally the board adopted
the report of the committee as submitted.
The usual monthly reports were made.
Superintendent Luckey reported 612 teach
ers employed. The enrollment of pupils is
2C.721 and the average attendance 23,189.
This is a decrease of 161 in enrollment and
10 in average attendance as compared with
October; an increase -oi 321 in enrollment
and decrease of 11 in average attendance as
compared with November, 1888. Principal
"Wood had at the High School 721 pupils
enrolled, with an average attendance of 672.
He reported that Mr. E. H. Wells, of the
Keystone Construction Company, had pre
sented Professor Speer with an electric mo
tor for the use of the school. Secretary
Beisfar reported oxpenditnres amounting to
$37,125.09 in November.
Mr. Diehl, whose report on the filthy con
dition of the High School last spring caused
such a fuss, had again been serving on the
"Visiting-Committee, and this time reported
the building in good shape. It was Mr.
Diehl's last report, as he immediately pre
sented his resignation, as he has removed
irom the district he represented. His resig
nation was accepted.

The OHver Brothers Will Improve the
Balciworth Mill Adding Converter and
Machinery.
The Pittsburg- Steel Casting Company
has changed hands, and the mill will be
operated in the future by Oliver Bros. The
new company is making a large number of
improvements which will cost in the neigh
borhood of $100,000.
The Bessemer plant which was used by the
Hainsworth Company, has been torn down.
Two new converters, and three cupolas
which are designed specially for Oliver
Bros., by "William Amsler, Chief Engi
neer, are to replace the old ones. Each
converter will tarn out 150 tons of
steel per day, and to run them it will re
quire 300 men. The steel will be run into
a mold, 15 inches square, weighing 3,500
pounds, and they will be broken down to
.4x4 billets on the blooming mill, and then
shipped to the Sonthside mills owned by
this company, to be rolled into wire.
Hitherto Oliver Bros, bought their
steel billets for making wire East and South
of Pittsburg. By the acquisition of this
plant, they will manufacture all their
steel. This new move will save the com
pany a big sum in the year.
A large pit is in course of erection
which will heat 16 ingots weighing 56,000
pounds. The pit is to be one of the largest
in the country. The Bobinson and Bay
engine which was used by Hainsworth for
the blooming will be replaced by a new
Mackintosh & Hemphill reversing engine.
The blooming mill will be retained, but it
will undergo extensive improvements. The
mill is to be taken ont and a new bed laid.
A set of new hydraulic tables will be added
to the blooming mill. A set of new rolls
25 inches in diameter are also to be pro
vided for the mill. Four additional hy
draulic cranes, seven tons strength, are in
course ot erection. The cranes will facili
tate the tapping of the steel from the conver
ters with greater dispatch.
Oliver Bros, intend to lay additional rail
road tracks, so that they can run the cars
into the blooming mill department,
where they will be loaded as quick
ly as the billets are manufactured,
and shipped over to the Sonthside. The
works which were heretofore lighted by
natural gas, will in the futnre be lighted
by electricity. Two Brush dynamos will
supply the current
Superintendent H. D. Hibbard who will
have charge of the works said: "We ex
pect to have the mill in operation at the be
ginning of the year. "We are going to rnn
double turn, which necessitates the employ
ment of 300 men. "We shall make a differ
ent quality of Bessemer steel from that
which is manufactured by the Bessemer
furnaces in this part of the State."
