872 83 came from every section of the
country and the world; 5600,000 from Phil
adelphia; 5560,000 from Pittsburg, and
516,199 85 Jrom New York.
WIIEEE THE MONET WENT.
Johnstown and vicinity received "2,430,
393 09 of this amount. The other expendi
tures were as follows: Belief for other lo
calities, 5232,264 45; distributed as expressly

at Harrisburg, 51,398 42; general expenses,

phans, 516,100; making a total of cash ex
pended of 52,683,747 11; leaving a balance
on deposit at Harrisburg of 5218,325 57.
In addition to this balance at Harrisburg,
there is an undistributed fund in Johns
town, at present, of $36,384 03, and there
has been appropriated to other parts of the
State 517,735 55. After this Is taken ont
there remained at the time of the meeting,
to-day, an available balance of 5236,974 05.
This was rednced at to-day's meeting to
570,631 40, by the payment of claims
amounting to 522,442 65, and other ap
propriations. PBOVISION FOE OEPHANS.
Mr. Beeves, from the sub-committee ap
pointed to make provision for the care of
the orphans made by the flood in the
Conemaugh Valley, reported that he had
made an arrangement with the Girard Life
Insurance Annuity and Trust Company, of
Philadelphia, which will insure the sum of
S50 a year to each orphan nntil they arrive
at the age of 16 years. The commission has
found 322 orphans in the flooded district,
and for the purpose decided upon for their
support there was appropriated S115,000.
This sum has been so arranged for distribution
that when the youngest child arrives at
age it will be entirely extinguished.
The flood left 116 widows, and for their
support the sum of 5179,471 has been paid.
They will also receive for the use of their
children the Bum of 595,250. This latter
sum will be distributed in annual payments,
which will be regulated in accordance with
the ages and number of the children.
A HOSPITAL AT HAND.
One of the pressing necessities brought
about by the flood was a hospital. At the
present time there are a great many suffer
ers who still feel the effects of last summer's
disaster. The condition of Johnstown is
such that sickness is sfill occasioned. To
provide for this, the commission to-day
decided to build a hospital at Johnstown
costing 540,000. Messrs. Scott, Miller and
Beeves will have charge of the construction
of the building. In furtherance of this
same purpose, 55,000 was appropriated for
the hospital at Williamsport.
The commission considered an appropria
tion for aid made to them by the Young
Men's Christian Association of Johnstown,
and decided not to grant it, as itdid not come
tinder the objects for which the money was
appropriated.
No estimate was attempted to be made of
the vast amount of food, clothing, furniture
andhoushold effects that was sent to the
afflicted districts.
ONLY THE CASH BEPOETED.
The sums stated in the Secretary's report
only included the actual cash that came
into tbe hands of the commission, and is
also exclusive of the money that was sent
direct to the people of Johnstown. Of the
money sent direct to Johnstown there is at
the present time from 5100,000 to 5150,000
undistributed.
The balance of 570,631 40 will be largely
disposed of in the payment of a number of
unadjusted claims that have been presented,
but have not yet been investigated.
The commission proposes issuing a com
plete historical report of their work, from
the day they were appointed until they dis
band. In this there will be published a
complete history of the flood, the move
ment started by the people to render aid and
the manner of distribution, A statement
will be made telling exactly where every
dollar that the people contribnted has gone
The work of the preparation of this im
portant work was to-day placed in the hands
ot Robert C. Ogden, Thomas Dol&n and S.
S. Marvin.

districts recently have done the most good,
and the commission feels that this is a vin
dication of their policy in not being in too
great haste to commence the work of dis
tribution. The commission has made a most careful
investigation to ascertain the actual number
of lives lost in the disaster, and now at this
late day they are o( the opinion that 2,500
is the highest figure at which it can be
placed. It has been definitely ascertained
that 2,280 persons disappeared from the val
ley of the Conemaugh. The bodies of 1,675
of this number have been recovered and
identified, 044 bodies have been recovered
and are unknown, and the remainder, 605,
are missing.
SOMEBODY'S LOVED ONES.
The commission has gathered the bodies
of all the unclaimed dead that were buried
hastily at the time of the flood, and rein
terred them in the Grand View Cemetery at
Johnstown. For this pnrpose a plot
of ground consisting of 2,200 sauare
feet has been purchased. In this plot
there are now buried 741 bodies, of
which tbe names of only 87 are known.
During this work of re-interment especial
efforts were made to identify the bodies, and
for this pnrpose special trains were run for
miles around to Johnstown by the railroads,
and 52 additional bodies were recognized.
The bodies that were recovered veze picked
up all the way from the Conemaugh to
Westmoreland county, and 1 was found
down the Mississippi river at Cairo.
After tbe completion of their work the
Commission adjourned at the call of the
Chairman.
ABOUT THAT DAM.
An Expert Opinion That la Uelnjt Withheld
to Avoid Legal Complications In
slnuatlons That Leave so
Roam for Doubt,
rerscui. tzleosak to tub bispatcim
New York, January 16. Alphonse
Eteley, one of the committee appointed by
the American Society of Civil Engineers
to examine the South Fork dam,
to the breaking of which the Johns
town disaster was due, said to-day
that the committee's report, which the soci
ety on their recommendation decided to
withhold until after the settlement of
the complications that had grown out
of tbe disaster, contained nothing of
importance that had not already been pub
lishedaltnough the facts, he added, are
probably presented in a more connected
form than they had been elsewhere. The
committee was appointed by the so
ciety immediately alter the catas
trophe, and it was at the scene
as soon as railroad connection had been re
established. It consisted of James B.
Francis, of Lowell, Mass., Chairman; Max
J. Becker of Pittsburg, President of
the society and Cnief Engineer
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
Southwest lines, William E. Worthem, of
New York, and Alphonse Eteley, Chief En
gineer of the Croton Aqueduct Commis
sion. The committee constitutes, according
to Secretary John Bogart, New York State
Engineer, as good authority upon engineer
ing subjects as can be found, - Mr. Eteley
said:
We decided to withhold tbe report, because
if it were published wbilo these law suits are
pending, It might appear as though we were
voluntcring expert testimony on a legal matter.
We do not wish either to be called as witnesses
in these suits, nor do we care to drag the name
of the society into the difficulty. When the
cases are settled in the lower courts. I see no
reason why we should longer withhold our re
port. Wo made our inrnstlcatlcns personally,
and did not even Intnxsr-mlnhte details to
other parties. All tbe measurements were our
own.
Mr. Eteley said that the society's action
forbade him from speaking of the nature of
the report, but he would say that the com
pany might have found that tbe rain
falls just previous to the disaster had
been unprecedented, and caused the dam to
be subjected to a greater pressure than was
ever before known. By this, however, he
said he did not mean to convey the im
pression that the dam was free from faults
in construction.
PORTUGAL'S POSITION,

Lisbon, January 16. Prime Minister
Pimental was absent from the Chamber of
Peers to-day, owing to a severe attack
ot influenza. In his absence the
Minister of Justice delivered a declara
tion on the dispute with England.
His remarks were similar to those made yes
terday in the Chamber of Deputies by
Senhor Pimental, who declared that the
Government would protect its interests as
far as was possible and maintain its dignity
absolutely. A recriminatory debate fol
lowed, but all agreed in denouncing the
British ultimatum.
Several colonial Governors, including the
Governor of Mozambique, have resigned.
Twentv royal marines have been arrested
for making a demonstration against En
gland. It is understood that a British
squadron will visit the Tagus shortly.
Portuguese merchants contemplate boycott
ing England and refusing to receive English
money.
Several of the leading English commer
cial houses of this city and Oporto are pre
paring a protest against the. English ulti
matum. They regard the dispatch ot
British men-o'f-war to Portuguese1 waters as'
harmful to their business.

A STEANGE SUICIDE.
Sllai Laura Dixon Kills Heraetf Became
"of n Former Sweetheart'" On"ei-
Be Wanted to Get a Divorce
nnd Marry Her.
Elizabeth, N. J., January 16. Miss
Laura Dixon lies dead at her home on
Elizabeth avenue, from the effects of a
pistol shot in the right temple. She was
alone in the honse for a short time last even
ing. Armed with a 38-ealiber revolver she
entered the parlor and deliberately sent a
bullet into her head. Miss Dixon is 23
years old. She for six years kept company
with George "Weimar, a young man promi
nent in temperance circles, and Past "Worthy
Patriarch of Lincoln Division, Sons of
Temperance. He finally discarded the girl
and married a young German woman of
New Brunswick.
Miss Dixon felt his action very keenly at
the time, and has never seeu her faithless
lover since until Tuesday night, when she
met him at the celebration by the division
of its twenty-fourth anniversary. She was
in high spirits that evening and carried on
quite a flirtation with some of the young
men present Laura says that "Weimar
came over to her and upbraided her for her
conduct, and promised if she would make
up with him again he would procure a di
vorce from his wife and marry her. She
says she indignantly repelled his advances
and told him to go about his business.
The next dav she was observed acting
strangely about the house and seemed to
have something serious on her mind. Dur
ing her mother's absence last evening she
seized her lather's pistol and fired two shots,
only one of which took effect. She was fonnd
lying on the parlor floor, the revolver
tightly clutched in her hand, and the blood
oozing from the wonnd. Two physicians
were summoned and they, probed for the
ball, bnt were unable to find it. She was a
pretty brunette of quite a vivacious disposi
tion. Miss Dixon died at 2 o'clock this aft
ernoon. MOODI'S MISS10NAEI PLANB.

of the Cities.
Chicago, January 16. The men's de
partment of D. L. Moody's new Evangeliza
tion Institute was opened to-day with ad
dresses by Mr. Moody and several promi
nent local clergymen. Large numbers of
people visited the building during the day.

business men.
In addition to the regular corps of in
structors the plan is te have present a con

PITTSBURG, FRIDAX
A GUN THAT KICKED.
i
Ex-Governor Foraker Called on to
Tell All That He Knows About
THAT BALLOT-BOX F0EGEET CASE.
Congressman Grosrenor Added to the list
of Cross-Examiners.
H. HALSTEAD WAS WARNED IN TIME.
Foraker Thoujrht it Worth Haling If Camptetl Was
nominated.
The Ohio ballot-box sensation is being in
vestigated by Congress. Bepresentative
Grosvenor, who doesn't like Foraker any
too well has been added to the cross-examiners,
by request of Sherman and Butter
worth. Foraker is on the stand. McKin
ley was the first witness. ,
"Washington, January 16. Bepresenta
tive Struble, who has the grip, was the only
absent member of the special committee ap
pointed by Congress to investigate the Ohio
ballot box forgery when the body began it;
session to-day. Chairman Mason laid before
the committee a communication signed by
Senators Sherman, Stockbridge and Mc
pherson, and Bepresentatlves Butterwortb,
Breckinridge (of Kentucky), McKinley
and Justin B. "Whiting, reciting that, as it
is desirable to have a full and impartial
investigation, they request that Bep
resentative Grosvenor be allowed to appear
before the committee to aid in examining
witnesses and render other assistance. This
request was granted, and Bepresentative
Grosvenor said that while it was admitted
that the paper which was to form the basis
of the investigation was forged, all the
gentlemen concerned desired to appear and
testify to that fact as well as to any other
facts that they might know bearing on tho
subject.
Bepresentative McKinley was the first
witness. He said that the paper shown to
him bearing his alleged signature was first
shown to him by Bepresentative Butter
worth, just before Congress met. It is not
his signature. His first intimation that his
name was signed to the paper was received
through Judge G. "W. O'Neill, of Lebanon,
but he does not remember whether that was
before or after the retraction. "When the
whole paper was published, after the elec
tion, by the Commercial Gazette, his name
appeared attached to it
JUDGE HABUON'S WORK.
Judson Harmon, a lawyer of Cincinnati,
who was Governor Campbell's counsel, was
the next witness, and said he never saw the
forged papernntil this morning. Some time
in October last George J. Murray told him
that this paper was a forgery an d had been
gotten up in his office. "Witness started to
get proof, spending the next day in getting
three affidavits by G. L. Murray, F. L.
Millward and Frank Davis (these affidavits
were put in evidence). The next day, in
company with J. N. Jordan, he called on
Mr. Halstead, of the Commercial Gazette,
and demanded to see the paper. Mr. Hal
stead said that the paper was locked up
in the safe deposit, but showed a
photographio copy. "Witness told him that
srzsrzr'; far Has
.t-.t k I,- -i.j-..i-U: , x i;ri
was declared neither Bide to print anything,
and Mr. Halstead withdrawing a Columbiad
editorial abont to be published. Next day
witness saw the retraction, and got one from
Mr. Halstead, stating that he was convinced
that the paper was a forgery. The persons
making the affidavits were told that they
were wanted only to seenre a retraction.
The photographic copy of the paper ex
hibited by Mr. Halstead had all of the signa
tures attached Mr. Halstead had cross
examined the witness to discover whether he
knew of the other names. As the other
names, beside Mr. Campbell's, had not been
publicly mentioned, witness thought that it
was the part of decency and wisdom to Bay
nothing of the retraction.
HE HAD HIS DOUBTS.
Mr. Halstead believed that the paper was
genuine, but acknowledged that something
had happened that afternoon to cause him
to investigate its authenticity. Mr. Hal
stead did not say where he got the papers.
Witness had his suspicions, but Mr. Hal
stead denied their truth. Wood had told
Murray, when the latter upbraided him for
misusing his office and his young men, that
the whole matter was a mistake; that it was
not intended for publication, but to force
the wicked Democrats to give up the Topp
letter. This was a proposition by George L.
Topp to a contractor to sell gravel to the
city and divide the profits. Mr. Campbell
was understood to be about to spring this
letter npon the Republicans. Witness
thought Woods' story was fishy.
Bepresentative Grosvenor asked if Topp
had not afterward been found to be insane,
and had not died in the insane asylum, to
which question the witness, replied in the
affirmative.
Amor Smith. Jr., Surveyor of Customs of
Cincinnati, took the stand and was shown
the forged paper, which he said he had first
seen at Bepublican headquarters, October 6,
last. It had already been published with
Mr. Campbell's signature. Witness
said when it was shown to him
by Mr. C. L. Kurtz, that he believed
it was a forgery; but consented to deliver it
to Mr. Halstead, which he did, with the
statement that he did not believe it to be
genuine, pointing out a peculiarity of the
ink, in support of his statement. Mr. Hal
stead smiled, and said they seemed to have
used indelible ink, but he appeared to be
lieve it to be genuine. After the expose,
witness learned that Mr. Halstead had seen
the paper before. His (witness') reasons
for supposing the paper to be fraudulent
were based upon its appearance, the ink
and the remarkable similarity of the three
Campbell signatures.
FOEAKEE OIT THE BACK.
Ex-Governor Foraker took the stand and
was shown Exhibit A (the forged paper),
and asked to tell all he knew about it. He
said he had no personal knowledge of who
executed the paper. After his nomination,
June 27, L. N. Hadden, Assistant City
Solicitor, came to see him and talked about
the political situation. It seemed probable
that Mr. Campbell would be nominated by
the Democrats. Hadden thought that
Campbell would be a very strong candidate,
saying in explanation, that he would have
the support of some leading Republicans
mentioning Major Butterwortb. Hadden
said his reason for supposing so was that in
the financial results of Cam bell's ballot box
bill, Messrs. Butterwortb. and McKinley
were both interested. He undertook to pro
cure written evidence of his statement.
Witness vaB busy, and did not hink
of the matter until July 8, when
not having heard from Hadden, he wrote
him, asking for the evidence. Hadden did
not answer. Hadden bad mentioned Wood
as a party interested. September 28, after
tbe Musio Hall speech, witness saw Had
den, when he mentioned Wood as a party
interested who conld furnish the paper.
Witness wondered how he could communi
cate with Wood, believing it to be his dnty
to get possession of the paper to make up
legitimately. A telegram came to the Gov
ernor's office, Columbus, August 6, asking
whether he conld help the sender (B. G.
Wood), who was an applicant for the position
of Smoke Inspector. That night witness
started from New York, telegraphing. Wood
to meet him at Columbus oa Tuwday,
MftjAKT 17, 1890.
Another telegram came from "Wood August
9 asking his indorsement of his application.
"WHAT WOOD WAS WOETH.
"Witness returned to Columbus on the 15th,
and received a telegram irom "Wood saying
he was coming. Wituesi saw "Wood and
talked about his qualifications for Smoke
Inspector. Witness had a general knowl
edge of "Wood at that time, bnt did not
know much abont him personally, and had
never heard a word to his discredit His
business relations would' have commended
him to anyone. "Winess said hewas willing
to recommend him, as he was1 willing to do
"Wood that favor. He told "Wood he should
be willing to do a favor for him, and told
him he wanted that paper, "Exhibit A."
"Wood seemed a little confused, but ad
mitted that there was such a paper, and
made a clean breast of it, telling of
the ballot box bill and contract, and
of the chain of circumstances, and saying
that the paper was in the custody of Powell
Orosley, counsel for his company. Wood
told of the failure of tbe bill with the last
contract, but said that a new contract had
been drawn up and efforts made to get Gov
ernor Alger's signature. Witness was also
told about another and worse contract the
steel gun contract and said there had been
some business in connection with the Modoc
lands. Witness was more interested in the
ballot box business, and Wood promised to
send the papers.
At this point the committee adjourned.
after granting a request by Bepresentative
Outhwaite that Governor Campbell's ex
amination be fixed foe Monday, January 27,
as he was very busy at present

Bob Ingenoll'a Legal Combat With Miss
Cammrrer a Close One Tho Defend
ant an the Stand Some
i Funny Admissions.
" ISFZCIAI. TKX.EOUA1I TO TBB DISHTCn.1
New Yoek, January 16. The combat
between Colonel Ingersoll and Miss Caro
line Cammerer, who is suing Clemens Mul
let in the Supreme Court for 8100,000 dam
ages for breach of promise, ended to-day in
a draw. All the ingenuity and apparent
ingenuousness of the lawyer could not lead
the lady into an admission that would con
vict her, even by reasonable implication, of
having been aware before she engaged her
self to Muller that Mr. Mailer was not
divorced from his insane wife.
As Miss Cammerer left the stand, alter
having been a witness for two days and a
half, Lawyer Lewis leaned back and said:
"That ends our case."
'When Judge Ingraham suggested putting
the defendant on the stand, Colonel Inger
soll pleaded that he had no time to talk with
"him about his testimony. The Judge Insist
ed, and the defendant took the stand. He
turned the chair around to put his face to

had a sick wife for three years. He never
spoke to her of any engagement whatever,
he said, until they were going up to Bhine

pretty well now, and know what kind of a
man I am. If you are willing to come and

SIX ON ONE SCAFFOLD.
Indians Who Faced tbe Mooao Witbont an
Apparent Tremor.
Foei Smith, Aek., January 16. An
extraordinary execution took place here to
day, when six Indians expiated their crimes
on the scaffold. Nine men were to have
been hanged to-day, but the sentence of one
was commuted to imprisonment for life by
President Harrison. George Tobler and
Charles Bullard, tbe two negro murderers,
have been respited until the 30th inst
They received the respite with bad grace,
saying that if they are to be hanged they
would prefer going with the rest.
The six Indians were hanged at noon in the
United States jail yard for murders commit
ted in the Indian Territory. They bore the
ordeal with much nerve, standing on the
scaffold fully 20 minutes while preparations
were being made. The work, however, went
with precision and dispatch, and when the
fatal drop came there was bnt.a Blight groan
from one of them, a gentle swing of six black
bodies and not a twitch or a shrug. All were
dead in from three to six minutes, and
George Maledon, who had hanged 75 persons
before, performed the work.

Nev Yoek, January 16. The Flack
conspiracy case again wasted the time of the
Court of Oyer and Terminer to-day. Post
ponement has come to be regarded as the
natural result of any attempt to bring this
case to trial. On Monday last, when it was
called, an affidavit by Dr. Phelps was read,
stating that Joseph Meeks, the referee in
the Flack divorce case, was very ill of la
grippe, and an adjournment was granted.
This morning a doctor appointed by the
Court confirmed Dr. Phelps' affidavit that
Meeks was unable to appear, and the trial
was adjourned for the rest or the term.
The next sitting of Oyer and Terminer
will be held in April, when, if none of tbe
other defendants get sick, there is a remote
probability tbat this notorious case will be
disposed of.

rSPECIAL TELEOBAH TO TBB niSPATCU.1
Philadelphia, January 16. The dis
content and lack of h?rmony that have ex
isted for some time in the ranks of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union of
Pennsylvania, to-day resulted in a division
and the formation by the seceders of a new
and independent organization. The split
was brought abont by the frequent in
dorsements sf the Prohibition party and
its methods by a number of the mem
bers of the Women's Christian Temperance
Union. A call was issued two weeks ago
for the conference -which was held to-day in
the hall of the American Sunday School
Union. The call was signed by Mrs. Ellen
M. Watson, Mrs. Joseph D. Weeks, Mrs.
H. C. Campbell, Mrs. B. D. Bowman and
Mrs. B. C. Christy, of Allegheny county,
and one or more active workers in nearly
every county of the State.
MB3. -white's addbess.
Mrs. Judge White, of Indiana, called the
meeting to order. After devotional exer
cises, led by Miss M. S. Shepherd, of Mans
field, Mrs. H. C. Campbell, of Allegheny,
read tne scriptures, which was fol
lowed by Mrs- Judge White's ad
dress. She began bystating that differences
in opinion in methods of work and
the best manner of accomplishing practical
results have, during the last few years in
this State, grown so rapidly, and are now so
conspicuous, that harmonious co-operation
among those who have sincerely and con
scientiously differed is manifestly im
possible. An actual separation seems
to be a practical, wise neces
sity, if the labors of very many
women are to be continued and used
most effectively against the common enemy.
The partisan policy of the last few years of
the National Women's Christian Temper
ance Union, and the present marked ten
dency in the same "supporting direction of
the State organization of Pennsylvania,
have disturbed their meetings and interfered
with harmonious and effective work. She
concluded:
NOT SITTING IN JUDGMENT.
We do not meet to sit in judgment on the
course of our sisters who approve the partisan
system, but to formulate such constitution and
rules as will perpetuate the principles of the
original W. C. T. U. It is conceded
that the scenes of the discordant dis
cussion of the Pittsburg Convention of a
year ago, and those of the recent Chicago con
vention bring, mora reproach, discouragement
anefetTtJ-1nstian-irot3etr'than- two
separate organizations, one pursuing the par
tisan policy and the other positively prohibit
ing it.
Mrs. Hugh Campbell, was called to the
chair. She presented terms of tbe partisan
methods. It charged that the operations of
the politicians were concealed behind it. On
a motion ot Mrs. Weeks, of Allegheny, a
vote of thanks was tendered to Miss Shep
herd. PREPARING FOB BUSINESS.
Mrs. Weeks also offered a resolution tbat
the meeting proceed to organize a non-sectarian
and non-partisan Women's Christian
Temperance Union. This was agreed to,
and the following Committee on Constitu
tion was appointed: Mrs. Joseph D. Weeks,
of Allegheny, Chairman; Mrs. M. M. Ha
ling, of Venango; Mrs. D. Price, ot Chester;
Mrs. C. B. Jones, of Allentown; Mrs. C. B.
Boney, of Philadelphia; Miss Shepherd, of
Tioga, and Mrs. Judge White, of Indiana.
A letter was read irom Mrs. Swift, former
President of the Women's Christian Tem
perance Union, who is at present in Europe:
"My sympathies," she said, Vare with you.
I have no patience with people who war on
both sides of tbe fence." Telegrams of
greeting were then read from several parts
of the country.

The New Open-Heartli Steel? J
Stands Marvelous Tests.
THE HfmTOB EXPLAINS
Why Details of His Ecvolonizlng
Device Are SecreL.
A TON OP STEEL PE0M TWO OP ORE.
Yesterday's exclusive news from Indian
apolis, given in these columns, of mighty
steel mills there and here to make the new
open-hearth product direct from the ore, is
supplemented with a talk from the Pitts
burg inventor. He and another gentleman
hint at but are not yet ready to promise
great thing3 for the new process, all to bo
perfected and made clear within the next
few weeks.
Interest in the new process of making;
open-hearth steel, discovered by 3Ir Charles
Adams, of this city, is increasing with each
succeeding experiment, nntil those inter
ested have come to consider the invention a
complete success. Samples of the product
are at the office of the Iron and Steel Im
provement Company, in the Hamilton
building, where they were shown to a Dis
patcii reporter yesterday.
The samples simply show the quality of i
the material. They nave been submitted
to the most crucial tests. A piece of cold
steel two inches wide and six inches long,
with a one-eighth inch hole was placed,
under a steam wedge and the hole increased
to an inch without a break or crack in the
steel. This was repeated with several pieces
with the same result. Similar pieces were
tested by bending double under a steam ham,
mer with no signs of a crack. Other pieces
were pulled apart to test the tensile strength.
The tests have been most satisfactory, show
ing that the steel is of a good quality and
yet of a fine silky fibrous texture. Com
pared with a piece of a Bessemer steel rail,
the product shows to be of a finer composi
tion. nrVEHTOE ADAMS EXPLAINS.
Mr. Adams was asked to give some de
tails about the process, but he declined, say
ing that the company had not gotten to that
point yet where they could consistently give
an explicit explanation. Mr. Adams, how
ever, practically confirmed all that has
hitherto been published in The Dispatch
regarding the enterprise, which simply
amounts to this. That while the new com
pany is not seeking to out-do any other en
terprise, a process has been discovered
which will revolutionize the steel industry;
that a large plant will be erected for the
manufacture of the steel, and that all oi the
money necessary for the operation of the
process is in sight.
Mr.Adams very reluctantly answered some
of the statements made by various partie3
who seem to be looking on the scheme from
a laboratory and not a practical point of
view, and who have without knowing any
thing about the process made-very broad as
sertions about its being impractical and not
a success,. Said Mr. Adams: -- - $$
CLAIMS IT IS A SUCCESS.
There is no doubt whatever abont our proc
ess being a snecess. You have the evidence be-
tore you. The only question now i3 tbe cost of
manufacture, and it Is easy to calculate that
as compared with the cost of Bessemer steeL
We make the steel dlrecs from the ore, using
two tons of ore at JW per ton to prodnce a ton
of steeL Bessemer is produced from pig Iron at
S2S per ton, in which there is a 25 per cent loss
vj axiuauon.
The statement tbat any process is perfect, or
tint-It .cannot be improved npon 13 a mistake.
We have made no boasts about our process. Is
is a private matter just now, and we used all
possible means to keep it from tbe public until
we conld get all tbe details arranged. The
statement tbat we were compelled to go ont of
Pittsburg to get capitalists to take hold of the
enterprise is unjust, not only to ourselves, but
to Pittsburg manufacturers.
NOT A IiABOB-SAVnTG DEVICE.
I tried to have a test made at Olenwood and
the people refused to take hold of it because
they wcro afraid of Interference from tbe labor
organizations. Tbe latter got an idea tbat tbe
Erocess wonld cut down Tabor. Ic will not,
owerer, have any such effect.
Oors is a practical experiment Every heat
is tested, and tbe first unsatisfactory test is yet
to be made. We are working now to see what
the product can be placed on the market for.
We have every advantageous facility, we raise
the ore and handle our material with hydraulic
machinery, and I think in a tew days we can
invite tbe steel men of tbo country to investi
gate tbe marvel of tho age in this line.
Prom another gentleman, who is in a po-
sition to be informed as to facts, and who
seemed sufficiently cautious to not over-estimate
or talk at random, the following addi
tional particulars as to the process were
gained. He said:
OK A KEEJ SCENT.
While The Dispatch is recognized by those
Interested in the Adams steel process as being
one of the most enterprising and wideawake
newspapers in the country, we were hardly pre
pared to see it learn anything about the work
which has been going on at Indianapolis before
the time had arrived to attract attention and
while wo supposed tbat all tbe matter was be
ing kept profoundly secret.
A very considerable amount of steel has
already Decn made and the value of the process
so thoroughly demonstrated as not to admit of
tbe shadow of a donbt as to its doing all tbat ia
claimed, and more, too. And when we get
ready to give full particulars, in the course of
two or three weeks. The Dispatch will be
able to tarnish its readers, among the very first,
with data which will prove of more interest to
tbe steelmakers and consumers of the country
than anything in tbat line which has developed
In recent years.
A TRADE SENSATION PEOXISED.
The results will bo of such a character as to
satisfy the most doubting Thomas that this is
as much an age of progress in the steel trade'
as in any other line. In fact this matter is
bound to attract as much attention and en
thnsiasm as did the inventions of Edison.
Tbe samples of steel shown yon to-day haro
been pronounced by oiperts as the best they
have overseen, which were not made in cruci
bles, and we produce it at a cost so much less
than can be done under any process now in
general use, that tbe steel trade will be startled
when they come to know the facts.
While not in a position to confirm the accur
acy of tbe statement published in your issue of
this morning; as to the "largest steel plant In
the world" beirig located in Indianapolis, I can
say to you positively, that within the next nine
months we shall have in operation at soma
point In the country a plant with a much larger
output of steel than any now In operation.
CAPITAIi ENLISTED IS AMPLE.
We are not making a bla for any capital, aa
we have enough already enlisted to carry ont
what is proposed for tho present, nor do we care
how many self-inflated chemists, who profess to
know it all, may challenge our statements, or
claim tbat we cannot make avast change In the
methods of steel manufacturing. This Is an
age ot the most remarkable nrogress, and foe
any man to presage tbat this or that will not
follow in any line, is to set himself up as mora
infallible than all the rest of mankind. And n o
one who has a fair amount of deliberate con--,
mon sense should make such rash statements
as we hare seen recently emanating from par
ties in Chicago, whose prominence is of such a
character as to lead ns to expect something
more sensible, and savoring less of egotism ana
prophecy.
The steel manufacturers and consumers will
not therefore decry the "Adams process" in '
advance, dui wait a little while, until they can
observe results, and it the same are not fully up
to all our claims, we shall be willing to be tbe
