IKEW CASTLE 1HD THE BIG CAKAL. aa -t- Ri Water Power Ttat Would fce Destroyed lj the Proposed Waterway. ITS OWJSER WODLDXT OBJECT, THOUGH. irnosi oun special commibsionek. KewCastlb, December 27. Two miles below Iowa the Shenango river and 2eshan nock creek, -with the Mahoning river, make a j unction with the Beaver river. It was there that the cross-cut junction up the jMahoning started. The Mahoning crossed the Shenango by an aqueduct, and Neshan ii. sock creek was crossed by the same method. ? Oie pW dams remain. Somewhat by an in verse ratio of output of water these valleys v. 'grow in Importance. j feshannock is not much of a stream, but aSC 2f ew Castle is considerable of a city. As to fjithat something further along. Here is s ' yi-water power that a canal might destroy. It . XisoVn6dbr J. V. Eaney, who thihks jt jgoesn't amount to much. It only runs two fof,tE many manufactories of 2Tew Castle. .That is, the flour mill of J. "W. Eaney; below town another flour mill. SOT MUCH OP X, POWEB. ?Iforoierlv the water power was used for ;jlthe Etna Iron "Works. There wasn t klenouch, and there is not enough power even for these. Mr. Eaney has to have steam ''power in his flour mill, and the lower flour f njill is compelled frequently to shut down. JThc Etna Iron "Works long since abandoned ." i.tl !1 nM. ....l am.am .vlt.nl. e 115 mill T11CC J.UC HClUttl JfUMCi HUUUH manufactured by the Neshannock creek dam docs not exceed 150 during the lively seasons of the year, and it can well be un- ' riprKtnnd that dnrinir neriods of drought P there is some trouble in cettinc half enoueh t Jpower to run anything at all. Mr. Eaney, however, will not ask very much iroin the iHtateorthe national liovemmem lor nis water power, although hft thinks heought to be paid something for it, in case it is con fiscated. BRIDGES XS PLENTY. "Wlether or not it would be necessary to like the Neshannock creek water power dam, depends largely upon where the canal will run. The old canal came along 2eshancock creek. It was part of the "Mahon:iR cross-cut. Almost in the center oi the town because, bear in mind, this town has nearly as many, and I do not know, bnt I think more bridges than have Pittsburg and Allegheny City is the bid lock of the canal. Mr. Raney owns it, as a matter of course, because he owns the dam. Something of a commotion was created in Mr. Raney's mind, but not in that of the community, when the Town Council de--cided thatthe old lock was a public nuis ance. The borough authorities passed a resolution that it Mr. Eaney didn't remove it, then under the direction of tne borough attorney, it shonld be moved at the expense of the'town and costs charged up to Mr. Eaney. The latter gentleman was in 2ew York when he got that word by telegraph. He had time to telegraph to his own at "torney and get an injunction. 1IEKELTA SMILE. As I am not giving an opinion upon anv facts, but simply trying to get facts, I will sot say anything about it, but please let me smile a little bit. On the face of the evi dence, and upon tne top oi the dam, or ... rather Jet me say locfc, I wonder how it can be f. nuisance. Winter weather and sum mer weather may perhaps be the solution of the enigma. Mr. Eaney has so many interests that would be benefited by a ship canal, in case . one were built, that he could well afford to flk jJose his littlaJTeehannock Creek Sam. He m ""is the bead of the Etna Boiling Mill Com pany, and SDends most of his time at the Etna Blast Furnace "Works, so that it can well be seen that a ship canal would be a great benefit to his interests. Mr. Eanev says himself that he wants a ship canaf. f He wants something that will give better shipping facilities, withont so much regard to better ireight rates. The Beaver ana Shenango and the Mahoning Valley, he says, must have more methods of getting in 'and sending out heavy freight. BUSI1TESS OF OITE MILL. Here is something that gives some idea of .what the Etna Rolling Mill does alone: ; Coal, 125 tons per day lor 325 days in the year; coke. 200 tons a day for the same length of time; limestone, 120 to 150 tons a day; ores, about 250 tons a day, running often as high as 300 tons a day; pig iron, 150 .v :- tons a day; output of completed work, mtr- ; chant bar iron, not less than 16,000 tons a -j year. The works employ 350 hands. S That is one interest. 'Eaney & Berger's blast furnace by the way, they call it the , Eaney & Berger Iron Company do another , large business. Six carloads of slack per day, and about 217,000 pounds of coke and iron constitute the incoming freight. This does not include about 50,000 pounds of limestone per year. The output will be at least 250,000 tons. Is it any wonder, there fore, that Mr. Eaney thinks a ship canal would be a good thing? Benefit him? Of course it would, and he thinks it would be a benefit to the State, and therefore says that there should be State aid. BtTSIHESS OF THE CITY. It is hardly the proper place to go into de tails of the manufacturing industries of New Castle. It would take a good-Sized directory to tell how many there are. New Castle is really a thriving and industrious , , village, with the proportions of a city. V They're not anxious, however, to have a tt municipal mantle thrown upon their sboul- dew. It is sturdy worth upon which they i- pride themselves. - Take a glance at a mere outline, a simple ', s enumeration of some of New Castle's indus tries. First is the Etna Iron "Works, Limi ted; not the largest establishment in the vil lage, but one that counts first because they spell it with an A nowadays. "What the Etna Iron Works does has already been told in the foregoing. Then here are five blast furnaces; a pipe manufactory; a blast fur s. , nace pipe manufactory; three boiler works; 't one brass works; two breweries (they don't ! .Bake as good beer as in Pittsburg, and that ' "is not called the best); three brick mann ", ", 'factories; nine dealers in and miners of coal; V nine different firms ol general contractors, ' t and builders without number; three engine -i t .builders and contractors; two fire brick yi, works. L - FUTQEK IS MAST PIES. .?ij P. "Witherow Ss Co. certainly do have ii. Jots of business, but I can't understand why W "they get on every page ot the directory with : jo'me new business or a new method of .stating some business that has already been r , given. For about the nineteenth time here ' ; they come again firebrick manufacturers. Then there are three foundries, not counting ' the furnace heating manufactory, two gal vanized cornice works, three gas'and steam , fitters, four glass manufactories, four ma 'chine shops, two marble works, one molding manufactory, two nail manufactories, not - counting the fellows which we didn't for get, chilled and dry sand manufactories, known as the "Vulcan Iron Comnanv's works, three sheet iron factories, each dofng ,on extensive buslnes, one sheet metal fworks, and one distinctive steel manufac tory, that ot tne urawiord steel and Iron Company. Pf Then there are other manufactories, either contemplated or actually in process of erec ifinn. One of the most important of these is 7 wthe'Bessemerwire rod mill, owned by the came firm wnicn operates me principal nail' works. SOatETHINO- OF A PLACE. 2J ew Castle is something of a place. No f one need be ashamed to say that he lives ihere. Ereryb6dy Is "at work. There are lleWdranesanotreaj ana u mere are any, Itliey carefully conceal the fact that tbey do "artwork. Sharpsville boasts that it has-a j larger tonnage than New Castle I haven t succeeded as yet in even approximating the total tonnage of this place; but I imagine that Sharpsville will hardly have any greater quantity of outgoing and incoming freight than has New Castle. C.01 Dawson. TO SILENCE BIG SAH. thief Brown It Determined to RInN More Downtown AIarm-He Talks Fire ttc-fot-m All Alone the Line. Chief Brown said last evening tht his or der, published yesterday afternoon, would be enforced from January 1, notwithstand ing ttie objections offered, by several .gentle men whose interviews were published in the same paper. In rsgard to the objections offered by we insurance men Mr. Brown said: "What right have a lot of insurance clerks to be running around during o & impeding the movements of the firemen and adding confusion to all concerned? Show me an instance where the insurance men have been of any benefit by their presence at a fire in this tity. What the insurance men want to do is to proceid to do something practical and not do so much extemporane ous talking. If they would organize a sal vage corps here,as insurance men have done in the other big cities, provide it with tar paulins and other equipments, 3nd man it with a force of experienced men, we would supply them with a gong at their headquar ters and a running card.the same as we have in our own engine houses, and then when a fire occurred the insurance men's interest wonld be protected much better than it ever can be while they do nothing but stand around with kid gloves on their hands crit icizing the work of the firemen and those in charge of them. If they have theirown sys tem they can employ a good man, at as high a salary as they wish to pay, to conduct their interests at fires and he can criticize the work of the firemen intelligently, but wc object to the criticisms of the curb stone engineers. "Tne only people at the present time who have any business at fires are the firemen, police and newspaper reporters, who are there to apprise the public of the extent and incidents of the conflagration. If the insurance men have a unilormed salvage corps they will be admitted to fires and as sisted in every way by our firemen. The fire last night was an excellent illustration ot the pernicious effect of ringing the big bell in the first district. Before the first en gine arrived on the scene, the avenne was crowded with people. The saloons, club houses, poolrooms and hotels were emptied onto Filth avenne in less than five minutes and there were soon at least 10,000 people ou the street. There is no argument possible for such a condition of affairs as that. "As for the business men who live uptown who say they would not kuow,unIess the trig bell struck, whether their property was in danger or not by a fire, I will simply say that my order only silences the big bell in the first district. The other bells will ring, when a fire occurs, as they have in the past. "I propose to have gongs, or "jokers " as they are callen, placed in each of the daily newspaper offices downtown at once. Mr. Mead, Superintendent of the.Bureauot Elec tricity, will go around to-morrow, and make arrangements to put in jokers at such offices as desire them. Then the reporters will be able to locate a fire just as quickly as the firemen, althongh I suppose it would not make much difference whether they heard the alarm or not, lor I have noticed that the newspapers don't often miss much that is going on. "If there is any other class of men whom I think should be provided with these gongs, of course, they will be supplied too, but the big bell will not ring alarms for fire after next Tuesday, of that yon may rest as sured.' THE CORONER'S WORE McDowell Bust Investlgatlnc Deaths of the Fast Few Days. The coroner's jury called to investigate the cause of the death of John Hoban, at the Allegheny General Hospital, rendered a verdtct'resterday that death resulted from pneumonia, caused by neglect and'exposure, and F. D. Eshelman," the assignee of Hughes & Temple, for whom Hoban worked, was censured lor his failure to provide a nurse for the man. "Witnesses testified that during Hoban's illness he was without fire and food. The man was 62 years old. The inquest on the body of John Iiichten bach, who was smothered in a ditch on Con rad street on Thursday, was held yesterday forenoon. The jury heard the testimony of the foreman and workmen engaged with the dead men in the pipe laying, and voted that nobody was blaniable for the caving in of the ditch bank. The deceased was 27 years old and a deserter from the German army. Unless the contractor for whom Lichten bach worked will pay for the burial, the body will.be interred in the potter's field. An inquest was held partially on the body of John Becker, drowned Thursday evening by falling off the steamboat Voyager. Men connected with the Allegheny Connty Light Company swore that there was no electric current in the wires with which Becker was working. Further investigation will be made to-dav. The hearing of testimony as to the death of Miss Mary C. Campbell at Brnshton on Christmas evening was began yesterday. Jones, the engineer of the" oyster train, said that at the time Miss Campbell and her companion were struck his train was passing a freight train. The night was foggy and dark and the men in the cab saw nobody on the track until the accident occurred. Fur ther testimony will be taken to-day. A KLW BESSEMER PLANT. The Newest Ideas to be Included In the Fitubdrs hteel Company's Addition. The Pittsburg Steel Casting Company broke ground on Monday for a new Besse mer plant, which they will erect by the 1st of April, at a cost oi $50,000. The company intends to make heavy steel castings and forging. The Bessemer plant is being built on a plot of ground behind the crucible depart ment The new building will be 70x70, and it will be made of corrugated iron. No new heating furnaces will be necessary, because the company will utilize the furnaces in the mill adjoining the Bessemer department. The Bessemer plant will be entirely new, and the cupola will be arranged so that the steel can be transferred into the converter without the aid of a ladle. The only other plant in America where this easy method is u&d In transferlng the steel from one vessel to the other is situated at Alliance. This method is considered a great improvement on the old system, because it saves a great deal of labor and time, which was heretofore neces sary when the ladle was used for taking the metal from the cupola to the converter. The plant will consist of a new blower, blowing engine, cupola and converter. There will be a couple of hydraulic cranes built at each side of the pit, to be used for moving molds and setting the pit. The cranes will be very strong, because the com pany intends to manufacture very heavy steel castings. The capacity of the Bessemer plant wil be 150 tons per diem. It frill take tibou 150 men to work the furnace on both turns IS THE STRONGEST HORSE BLANKET For s&! by all deafcr. Jfrmo scnnbiA fthoat" bone stamped hufde.
