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.

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

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.

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
