rFFECIAL TELEGRAM TO TITS DISPATCTI.1
2fr.tr York, October 9. The much-talked-of
meeting of the National leaue
was commenced at tbe Filth Avenue Hotel
to-day. It is the most important meeting
the League has ever held, as it will no doubt
determine tbe future of the national game.
The delegates present were: A. H. Soden
and AV. H. Conant. Boston; C. H. Byrne
and J. J. Doyle, 'Brooklyn; A. G.
Spaldins, J. W. Spalding and A. C. Anson,
Chicago; F. De H. Robinson, George W.
Howe and Davis Hawley, Cleveland; John
B. Day, C. T. Dillingham and Joseph T.
Gordon, 2Tew Tort; A. J. Beach and John
I. Rogers, Philadelphia; P. Palmer O'Xeil
and W. A. Ximick. Pittsburg: John T. Brush
and TV. H. Schmidt. Indianapolis. Besides
these there were also in atteudance: ri. R.
Van Per Hoist and William Barne. of Balti
more: Allen W. Thurman, of Columbus, and
Chris Von Der Abe.
The representations of Baltimore and St.
Louis were somen hat or a surprise to the dele
gates from those cities, as none knew the
others were coining. They did not represent
the Association, but their individual clubs. The
Association, it was said, had held a meeting,
and, on the proposition to have tbe Association
represented at the League meeting, the vote
was a tie. Those who voted In the negative
thought that it would not be advisable to attend
this meetlnc, but one to be held later on, when
some definite plan of action had been arranged.
Nick Young presided at the meeting.
KIHST RELIABLE SEWS.
When the delegates were called to order the
existing condition of affairs was immediately
taken up. Allen W. Thurman was present.
and started in his role of peacemaker. The
delegates were in session until 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, when a ncess was taken for an
hour. When they reconvened there was no
further interruption. As a delegate came out,
cue after another, to get a breath of cool air,
perspiration stood out all over hit brow, show
ing that the discussion going on inside was
prettj strong.
The first exact news that emanated from the
meeting room was brought by A. W. Spalding,
who said that tbe League had had bona fide
offers to place a club in Cincinnati to be in the
League. It was learned br a Dispatch le
poxter from a thoroughly reliable source that
the proposition talked over was for the merg
mg of the three present organizations
into two. The nrsi League is to be
composed of 2sew YorK, Brooklyn ana
. Philadelphia in the East: Chicago, Cleve
land, Columbus and Indianapolis in the
W est. 1 he second League to be composed of
Boston, Philadelphia. Baltimore ana Washing,
ton in the East; bt. Loms, Louisville, Pitts
burg and Cincinnati in the west. The Dis
patch informant said that according to this
it was proposed to do away with 0'.Ncii's club
in Pittsburg, for Al Johnson to leave Cleveland
and take charge of the Cincinnati club. If
this plan were carried through. Boston and
Philadelphia would be the only two cities
where there would be two clubs.
A CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.
It was at 9 o'clock that the first action was
taken toward a cessation of hostilities by the
.National League magnates passing the follow
ing: Kesolved. That A. G. Spalding. John B. Day

and Von der Horst. All the gentlemen retired
to Mr. Ihurman'sroom. As soon as seme de
cision is arrived at the League committee will

AH IMPOSTANT BEQUEST.
The Local P. L. Club's Opinion Asked About
a Baseball Conference.
The directors of the local P. L. club received
a request yesterday to send a representative to
the baseball conference, which is to be held at
New York probably this week. The request
was made by the President of the Players'
League. Manage- Hanlon, President SIcC.il
lin and Directors 31. B. Lemon and W. V.
Kerr, of the local club, discussed the matter
and concluded they could be represented by
proxy. Mr. Lemon was urged to go, but his
business would not permit his leaving the clly.
Last evening 3Ianager Hanlon stated that
the request only asked the opinion of tl e club
on the action of President MeAInin in annnmr.
ing a committee of three to meet three repre
sentatives of the National League in confer
ence. The local club indorsed the action of
President 3IcAlpin, but it is also a fact that
Mr. Lemon was requested to go and personallr
represent this citj. The request from New
York, however, shows that a conference has
been made, and that an attempt will be made
to end all the baseball humbug that has spoiled
the season of 1K9Q.
It Was Too One Sided.
The local N. L. teamand the Oaklands played
a one-sided ball game at Itecreation Park yes
terday in the presence of 1C9 people. The
Oaklands coula do nothing with Anderson, of
the N. L. aggregation. The score bv innings:

AWAY GO THE RECORPS.
Nelson Beats the Stallion Trotting Record
of the World and Hal Pointer Makes a
New Hark at Terre Hante.
Teere Haute, Ind., October 9. The three
fastest harness records in the world. That is
the mark hung up to-day on the Terre Haute
track and it is likely to be shot at for many a
long day. The fastest stalhou record. 2:11&
the fastest mile ever paced or trotted in a race,
2.-0 and the three fastest heats in a race,
2aT. 2:1 2:13.
Amphitheater, paddock and infield were filled
to-day with spectators to witness the greatest
card of events ever off erefl by a trotting asso
ciation. It was a perfect autumn day. with a
gentle breeze blowing, and the track was very
fast. The groat attraction was tbe announce
ment that Nelson would go to beat Axtell's
time, 2:12. madeover this track last fall. About
3 o'clock the great Maine stallion appeared on
the track, driven by his owner and driver. C H.
Nelson, and was given a warming-up heat in
253, the last quarter in 32 A quarter of an
hour later tbe purple cap ana jacket of the Pine
Tree State horseman was seen. A great cheer
w ent up from 10,000 throats as the stallion, with
his smooth and fnctionless motion, came
brushing down the stretch. The purple cap was
doffed again and again. The second time down
the word was giveu, with the stallion going
smooth and rong with the runner back. Tbe
rate was deceptive, nut tne lunongs neing
compassed in 1 was a pointer
to tne great ciiort tuat was
on. The watches split at 32 seconds at tbe first
quaner, the half in l.-oyi: the horse going en
tirely on his courage. N ow the runner quickens
his stride and moves up. and with bis ear' laid
back, the great stallion catches the half, beats
behind bim another link is let nut as he gamely
fights against father time. To the three-quarter
pole in 1:36J: and as he swings into tbe turn
for borne all know that another record has gone
down. Cheer after cheer goes up as be flashes
under the wire in 2:1IJ and the dense throng
realizes tbe importance of the event The
driver, C. H. Nelson is scarcely permitted to
salute the judges for dismounting orders ere
the track is black with a wildly enthusiastic
crond. Nelson is liftBf bodily from the sulky
and borne aloft on tbe shoulders of tbe enthu
siasts. Tbe s'allion's neck is encircled with a
wreath of flowers and quite a time elapses
before the every inch a king of stallions can be
led off tbe track.
The time by Quarter? was 32. K25J. 31K. Z&l.
The second division of tbe 2:21 trot carried
over from yesterday, was as fine an exhibition
of a hotly contested race as ever spectators en-
i""yed. Godeliadid not care to win, but under

Tbe great mile of Nelson had prepared the
spectators for the great free-for-all pacine
race. B B had the pole, Hal Pointer second,
followed by Adonis, Pickaway, ana Dr. 31.
Geers did not pursue his usul tactics, but
scored his horso up strong in time to win the
beat. From wire to wire, the broncho and
Pointer had it see-sawing all tbe way. At no
time aid the distance of a neck separate them.
Never in tho history of harness contests did
two suet game horses fight it out. Maloney
and Geers handled tbeir horses with consum
mate skill. Not a move of one but what was
checked by the other. The geldings went
locked under tbe wire. Pointer having it bv a

2.1 0.
The second heat was a repetition of the first,
with the exctption that at the half Adonis,
who was not at himself, broke, and before he
got on his stride the flying leaders were over a
distance away.
The third heat was war again, and with tbe
time 2.13, rounded out the three fastest heats
ever gone in harness and that, too, by the de
spised parers that are commonly supposed to
find the last quarter very long. Forty thou
sand dnjlars in pools were sold on this race.

for a prize of 18. Eleven rounds, London prize
ring rules with bare knuckles, were fought,

nntnerous u ell-known sporting men from Char
tiers and the Southside present.
ITarentum Races.
The fall races of the Tarentnm Agricultural
and Driving Park Association will commence
to-day and be continued to-morrow. About 0
horses have been entered and tbe track Is in

county pace by Kitty It., time 2:41, and tne 2:40
trot by G. W., an Allegheny borsc.
WILL PLAY THEIR GAHE.
Princeton mid Yale Football Authorities
Settle Their Differences.
Princeton, October 9. The Princeton-Yale
game will in all probability be played at Eastern
Park, Brooklyn. Captain Poe told a reporter
to-day that tbe football management bad ex
amined the grounds and was now considering
Eastern park as the probable battle field. Tbe
final Yale-Prlncoton baseball game was played
there last June, and the Princeton men were
woll satisfied with the arrangements and ac
commodations made for tbe spectators, as well
as with the field itself. President Wilson, of
the University Football Association, said to
dav: "Captain Poe and I are in favor ol Eastern
Park. We have talked the matter over, and
think it would be the better place. Itis much
larger than tbe Berkelev Oval, and there is
room for 7,000 inBtead of'LOOO people under
cover as compared to the Berkeley stand, and
tnis is a very important factor when tho chances
of a wet day at that season are so great. The
soil is better, and won't rex muddy like the
Berkeley grounds, being of a sanay nature.
We don't know bow Yale feels about it yet. but
will before this week closes." Wilson, Foe and
Max Farrand, of Princeton, and the Yale
management will visit Eastern Park Friday
next and are likely to come to a decision.
There is scarcely a possibility that the Brother
hood grounds will be chosen, as a good shower
of rain makes it a complete gutter bed, as was
tbe case the day of tbe Princeton-Yle baseball
game, when the outfielders were obliged to run
tbrougb'mud from four to eight inches deep,
although in summer time.
THE HOME FOOTBALL MATCH.
Players Selected to Represent the Allegheny
Clhb In To-Morrow's Contestj,
The football team of the Allegheny Athletic
Club has been selected to compete against the
Shadyside team to-morrow at Exposition Park.
Tbe makenp of tbe team is as follows: Rush
liner, right end. Robinson; left end, H. Brown;

Jr.: Iett half back. James McCordi full back.
H. Oliver; substitute, O. D. Thompson. Tbe
match will commence at 3:45, and if tbe weather
is fine there will likely be a good contest.
It is probable that the local team will play a
match agaii.st the Chicago Athletic Club,
shortly. The home players are getting very
pretty uniforms from the firm of A. H. Pratt &
Co. The gamo will be played during the prog
ress of tbe amateur athletic games.

Sporting; Notes.
W. H. Thompson-, the Staten Island crack
cricketer, has gone back to England for good.
Fariiell and Sanders, according to th figures,
form the best battery in tbe Players' League.
Hamilton Is entitled to the credit of being the
League's great base stealer. He pilfered 92 bases.
There is certainly any amount of wire pulling
going on among tbe baseball magnates at present.
It Is claimed that W. H. Morton, of the Salford
Harriers, can run five miles In less tlme,than 2a
minutes.
Martin Duke, the pitcher whom Manager
Hanlon expected to sign, has re-signed with the
Minneapolis team.
Kkddt" Mack, one of tha Baltimore club's
best players, was yesterday fined S50 and sus
pended for drunkenness.
IT has become th fashion to speak of Anson's
team as as an aggregation of younii colts, which Is
wide of the mark. Anion, Burns, Carroll, Hutch
inson and Elmer Foster are not spring chickens
by any means.
Kikzea Stone has entered suit against the
Washington Park Association, Chicago, for?12,
COO, the Hyde Park stakes, which Mr. stone's
horse, Kingman, won at the July race meeting.
The association refuses to pay the money.
TnK following are cindldates for positions on

CTJRE OF CONSUMPIIOIT.
Medical 31en Have Reached a Stage From
ITIiIcIi They Talk Hopefully.
Professor Koch's investigations as to the
feasibility of tubercular inoculation as a
prophylactic has attracted much attention.
The highest authority on pulmonary dis
eases, Dr. Williams, of London, has said:
"Surely the time has come when we can
hold ont a fairly hopeful view to the con
sumptive patient. "We can tell him that if
he is prepared to make certain sacrifices of
time, money and liberty, to carry out rigidly
certain common sense rules which long ex
perience of the disease inculcates, he may
live for a long period, even for the ordinary
span of life, and continue his occupations
and duties," '
After treating 1,000 patienti, savs Dr.
George B. Bradley in the New York 2Vt6
une, he retiorted: "The well class number
35 Per cent, the tolerably well 36L and
the worse 28 per cent, the two first classes
comprising 72 per cent of the whole."
Loskoff obtained good results In 90 out of
112 cases. Sommerbrodkof, of Breslau,
proved creosote beneficial in 5,000 cases.
Marvelous results are being daily recorded,
and pulmonary'consumption is undoubtedly
amenable to treatment.
During this depressing and unfavorable
season let the so-called consumptive remem
ber while he reads dispatches concerning
Koch's researches that even now to quote
"Williams again "under careful treatment
life may be prolonged for many years in
comfort and usefulness and in not very few
casesthe disease so permanently arreslod
that it may fairly be called cured."
PICTOEED IK DEATH.
The Corpse of Burrows, the Bandit King,
Photographed.
Birmingham, October 9. The dead body
of the famous bandit king, Rube Burrows,
reached Birmingham at 3:30 o'clock this
morning and was gazed upon by hundreds
of eager sight-seers as it Jay in the plain
pine box. There came with the body the
search party who had been scouring the
wilderness of South Alabama ever since
the robbery on August 29, bounding the
modern terror.
It had been decided that a photograph
should be taken of the dead man and ac
cordingly the coffin was erected on end in a
corner. Burrows' Martini rifle and his
pistol were placed by his side when the
picture was taken. This morning at 11
o'clock the rude coffin was placed on the
express car of the Katms City, Memphis
aud Birmingham road, in charge of Detec
tive Jackson and Superintendent Agee and
will be held for lurtber identification, and
then turned over to his father, old man

JUBILEE J0GGIHS AGAIN.
The Spendthrift's Stage Aspirations Excite
Adverse Comment.
New York World.
Tbe news that Jubilee Joggins has de
cided to go on the stage is calling forth a
good deal ol comment on bath sides ot the
Atlantic. There is a feeling in theatrical
circles that the limit is being pressed pretty
closely in matters of this sort. John L.
Sullivan, Sybil Johnstone and Mrs. Leslie
Carter have caused a good deal of comment
among old players here, but they have been
swallowed. There is a feeling that Jubilee
Joggins, however, is the last straw.
Be is tne vacuous person who spent near
ly 2,000,000 in two years, who never wore
the same shirt or the same suit of clothes
twice, who has gone through most of the
courts, beeu in jail for swindling and forg
ing, and is now rusticating In a gambling
house inBcgent street. It is announced with
great impressiveness that Ladv Dunlo has
-made a vigorous and public protest against
such persons as Jubilee Joggins being per
tmitted to go on the stage.
IP CITY IS THEIRS.
Continued IYom First Page.
and novel to them, especially the exhibit of
farming implements which are constructed
differently from the English make.
The machinery was ably described by
Messrs. W. K. Given and Emil Swerisser,
assisted by a corps ot guides.
The partv, which numbered abW 300,
then sought the main building. The" lady
visitors were most interested in the display
in this department, and the art exhibit was
commended highly by a large number of the
party. After this the party went sight-seeing
in the building by themselves in parties
of twos and threes. , At 6 o clock they con
gregated in the yard separating Machinery
Hall and the main building. While here
the visitors discussed the big exhibit and
passed tbeir opinions on it. They compli
mented the promoters of the society for hav
ing such a creditable exhibit with only two
years' experience. The local committee ex
plained that the industrial exhibit was not
to be taken as a sample of what the city
manufactured, it being on too small a scale
to ever begin to show what the city pro
duces. Kidnaping Some of the Visitors.
Mr. A. S. Morris summoned the guides of
the Penn avenue excursion, and requested
them to show the visitors as much of the
mills ont Penn avenue as the time would
allow. One enterprising manufacturer of
steel castings who was determined that his
works would not be missed, shouted, "All
ab0ard for works," and a number of
the visitors followed him to tbe carriages.
where the manufacturer gave orders to the
hnckmen to drive to his works, thus secur
ing a visit from the visitors that he might
have otherwise missed.
The diQerent excursion parties were
formed. The visitors had their choice of a
trip down the Ohio to Davis Island dam, or
to tne enn avenue mills, xne latter route
was taken by the manufacturers of the"
party, while the trip to the Ohio connecting
bridge was taken in by the engineers, on the
excursion steamer Nellie Hudson.
Alter the delay of half hour the party
numbering about 100 visitors and 50 of the
local reception committee, left on the boat,
the trip down being made lively by the
stirring strains ot a brass band, which
played all the national airs, just to make all
aboard feel perfectly at home.
No End to the Mills.
As the steamer sped on down the broad
stream, skirted on both sides by rolling
mills, blast furnaces, locomotive works, oil
refineries, steel works, and every conceiv
able kind ot industrial plant, the foreigners
stood on tbe deck awed bv the magnitude of
this small section of Pittsburg and Alle
gheny. Mile after mile was passed, and as
the smoke irom a blast furnace would loom
up lar ahead the visitors would ask: "How
lardown do these mills reach? As the
boat rounded at curve and the Riverside
Penitentiary presented itself, one English
gentleman asked, "Whose cistleisthat yon
der?" Mr. Zug, of Zug & Co., informed
the visitor that it was the penitentiaryXThe
Englishman looked at Mr. Zug as if he dis
believed him. He was convinced, how
ever, when the boat drew nearer and he saw
the Gothic window barred.
Passing Oliver Brothers' lower mills at
Verner, the long line of mills was passed
and from here down the visitors admired the
see -ery.
A short stop was made at Davis Island,
the visitors being prevented from seeing how
the great dam was operated on account of
the high stage of water. The return to the
Exposition was without incident.
DOWN IN A COAL MINE,
FOREIGNERS SURPRISED TO SEE
BY ELECTRICITY.
MINING
A Distinguished Party Visits the Mononga
hela Company's Plant They Were Sur
prised Bnt Denounced the Waste of Coal
as Outrageous How the Machine
Worked.
A car load of delegates, mining engineers,
-electricians and others interested in the coal
business went to Willock station on the J
Wheeling division of the Baltimore and
Ohio Kailroad yesterday, where the mines
of the First Pool Monongahela Gas Coal
Company are located. The party was in
charge of John S. Scully, owner of
the mines and also president of
tbe Hercules Mining Machine Company, which
has several of its mining machines working in
the mine. Tbe object of the visit of the partv
was to witness tbe actual operation of tbe
machines which are operated by the Westing-kouse-Tesla
motor.
The start was made from the Baltimore and
Ohio station at 3:30 o'clock, and among tbe
prominent gentlemen of the patty were
Sir William Thomas Lewis. of Aber
dale. South Wales, and one of the
greatest cnal operators in the world:
Franz Sommcrsbach, another extensive
operator, of Bacbum. Germany; GeorgeSalter,
a prominent iron manulacturer of We3t Brom
wich, England; Herbert Harlakenden Gil
christ, a deep-thinking metallurgical engineer
of London; J. H. Pearson, one of Stafford
shire's best known iron and coal masters; H.
A. Wheeler, Adj. Professor of Mining at
the Washington University in Kr, Louis; Arthur
B. Meeker, of Washington, interrs oil in Ten
nessee iron nulls; State Mine Inspector Blick,
of the Seventh district: C. F. Scott, Electrician
C. F. Scott, of the Westinghonse Company and
Ins assistant, H. M. Reed: Manager Thomas
B. McKaig, of the Hercules Company, and
many others.
Into the Bowels of the Earth.
The objective point was about eight miles
from the cits', and upon arriving at the mines,
tbe gentlemen first Inspected the djnamos in
tbe engine room. After Electrician $cott baa
explained everything, lamps were lighte'd and
tbe party entered tbe mine. Tho latter is a
perfectly level opening in tba hillside, and
there was no shaft to go down into a seemingly
bottomless pit. Everything went well until
the bead of one nt tbe gentlemen came
into contact with a support on the
ceiling of the low mine and then was heard a
smothered exclamation that would not look
well in print. After apparently tramping over
a good section of the earth underground in a
stooping position, the party entered one of tbe
rooms wbere a solitary miner was found work
ing a machine. The latter was a small, com
pact system of drills and wheels set on a truck,
with the drills pointed at theroal. 1 ho ma
chine was run by a Tesla electric motor,
and made but little noise. Aft(r
piercing the coal in ono place
the truck was pushed forward by tho miner and
tbe drills began work in a new place. It took
just seven minutes to put a dozen two-inch
drills three and a half feet into tho coal oack)
and whilo moving the truck It was not neces
sary to ftnp the drill-'. Tbe machine covered a
space of 20 fet-1 In one hour, and when ibe end
of tbe "room" was reached a light charge of
fowder was put in on top and the coal loosened.
t was then readv to bo shoveled Into cars and
run out of tbe mine.
Criticising the Waste of Coal.
Tbe visitors wero delighted with tbe operation
of tbe machine, which it is claimed saves 31
cents per ton on the mining price to the firm.
With tho use of the machine coal can be put on
cars for 4S cents per ton, while tbe Pittsbnrs
district price for mining is 79 cents. The
miner who 1 una the raachina. it is claimed, can
earn from S2 75 to 83 25 per dav, the ordinary
output being about 40 tons. This is more than
be could earn by tbe old method and does not
have to lie on his side all day at his work. By
tbe machine system of mining, instead of a
miner be becomes an engineer.
Tbe only fault found by the distinguished
visitors was the great waste of coal, which tbey
say they would not allow in their country. In
stead of throwing away the small coal mixed
with sbale, thev would have it washed out and
save every small piece. The slack thrown
away, they alo claimed, could bo used, ana in
a year the proceeds would amount to consider
able. After thoroughly inspecting tho ventilating
apparatus, fans and everything but the mules,
the partv made Its exit from tho mlno mnch
pleased. The gentlemen returned to the city
at6:3a
AMONG "SOUTHSIDE MILLS.
BRITISH VISITORS ENJOY A BRIEF TOUR
OF BUSY WORKSHOPS.
The Programme Was Far Too Long for One
Day-Consecjnently the Visit Was Limited
to the Mills of the Olivers and Jones &
Laughllns.
The tour over the Southside yas not near
ly so extensive as it was intended
to be, partly because it would have
been a physical impossibility to go
through wltH the whole programme,
partly because the visitors were tired and
partly because some of tbe establishments on
tbe programme are common affairs in England
and Germany. There were -not over twenty
visitors in the party. They were escorted from
the Exposition at 3 o'clock by Mr. D. B.
Oliver, director of the Oliver & Roberts wire
mill, at the foot of South Ninth street.
, The visit to this establishment lasted about
20 minutes. Tbe time was spent studying tbe
manner in which wire is turned out at the rate
of 280.000 pounds a day, and it was tbe source
of much interest to tbe British manufacturers.
A short call was then made at the Oliver Iron
and Steel Company's South Twelfth street
mill, where the Clapp-Griffith process of mak
ing steel is operated. Each member of the
party "took notes" on .the explanations made
by Mr. Oliver, who did not have much diffi
culty in entertaining tho gentlemen.
Tbe party was then driven to the American
Iron Works. The visitors were disappointed at
not meeting Mr. B. F.Jones, but be was un
avoidably prevented from being present to wel
come them. Ther were shown tnrougb tbe
establisbment by Roland Gerry, of the firm,
and Edward Matthews, the Assistant Manager.
Tbe latter is a native of Bristol, England, and
was acquainted with one or two members of
tbe party. Tbe chief point of interest seemed
to be tbe steel department, and especially that
part of it wbere steel rods are rolled and pol
ished by machinery at tbe same time. Tbe
partv returned to the city shortly before 6
o'clock.
UP THE ALLEGHENY.
A TOUR OF INSPECTION OF PENN AVENUE
MILLS.
Watching theVJIIanufactuxe of Iron and
Steel by the Latest Processes Surprised
at the Employment of Colored Laboring
Men A Special Test,
At 3 o'clock a party of about 14 boarded a
Penn avenue car and journeyed out to view
some of the plants along the river. Among
them wore James Piatt, of the Atlas Works,
Gloucester, Eng.; J. F. Hall, ot Norbnry,
Sheffield, Eng.; George Siddell, Pltsmoor.
Sheffield, Eng.; B, A. Hadfleld, of the steel
works of the name at Sheffield, and Alexander
Jack, general manager of the same works.
Tbe first stop was made at Mcintosh Hemp
hill's big foundry and machine works. Mr.
James Hemphill conducted tbe visitors through
tbe establishment, and subsequently accom
panied them over the other plants.
From the foundry the party went on to Park
Bros. Steel Works, where thev were shown
through a portion of the works. They next
visited the Carbon Iron Works and shown ovor
the entire establishment by Superintendent
Losh and Mr. Matthew Graff, the latter gentle
man explaining the different processes as tbey
went along. Some of the party evinced great
interest in tbe methods of manufacture and
piled tbe officials and workmen with qnestions.
The; seemed to be struck by the number of
colored men at work here. Their next call was
to tbe Pittsburg Reduction Works. Very
much interest was shown in the
method of reducing the aluminium
from the ore by tbe electrical process.
One of the tubs being ready, several ingots were
cast from it for the benefit of tbe visitors.
From this a visit was made across tbe road to
the Adams direct process plant on Park Bros.'
ground. The Messrs. Blair made extensive ex
planations regarding the process, which were
attentively listened to. Mr. Alexander Jack
and Mr. Haafield, of Sheffield, were desirous
of learning all there was to be told about it. At
this time the sight seeing terminated, and bid
ding goodby to Mr. Hemphill and the Messrs.
Blair, tbe visitors returned home.
THOSE ON THE OUTSIDE.
SCENES AND
ON SIXTH
The Duquesne Clnb a Magnet to Which
Was Drawn Large Crowds of People
Anxious to See the Iron and Steel
Kings.
A large and curious throng surrounded
the Duquesne Club house last evening and
watched with eager interest the carriages
bearing the guests invited to the reception
of the iron and steel magnates, and Sixth
avenue was lined with people. Carriages
entered the avenue at Wood street, drove to
the door of the club house and then back to
Wood and other adjoining streets to await tbe
pleasure of their masters. The carriages were
often used by the police as a means of clearing
the streets of the crowds, tbe driver being
instructed to guide his horses through the
crowds and cause a stampede.
A student of human nature might have found
a splendid field for operations in the crowd in
.frnntnf t.hn Diinnpann Hint) fVr-M tin rnnld
nave seen representatives of everv nation ana
of every class 01 society. Juen in lull dress
hung around on the outside anxious to finish a
cigar before entering tbe club bouse. Here
and there could be seen ladies of an uncertain
age. whose dress and manner indicated that
tbey were certainly not other than genteel, and
their escorts were gentlemen of manly bearing.
There were old ladic3 and 'little girls with
prayer books and Bibles In hand, evidently
going home from the prayer meetings in the
neighboring churches. And there were others
who. manners would indicate that they were
not at prayer meeting, nor had tbey ever beard
of such a thing. But no matter what clime or
station they represented, all were there for the
same object, and the many remarks passed
wnuld give much food for thought,
Tbe stone wall on the opposite side of tbe
street was lined witb youngstenvwlio delighted
to make remarks about tbe occTTpants of car
riages, hoot at the drivers and do anything else
that would cause some one to laugh. One boy
or 10 apparently took great pleasure in ques
tioning the propriety of tbe costumes of some
of the ladies, and as tbey passed the windows
of the club hbuse in promenade he would work
the well-worn phrases about catching cold,
offered to lend one a coat, suggested that
another was old enough to know better, and so
on. down the line. Of course, this did not
botber tbe prnmenaders, because tbey didn't
hear it, but it furnished a certain amount of
amusement for the bystanders.
Tbe scenes on Sixth avenue only go to illus
trate two great phases of human nature, buw
diiferentlv people enjoy themselves. Thoso on
the outside langhed at tbe kind of pleasure en
joyed by tbe promenaders in the club house,
and as many locked out tlin windows and saw
tbe watching crowd, doubtless smiled inwatdly
at their ideas of pleasure.
AH FXECTEIC DISPLAY

The Court House tower was gayly and
tastefully illuminated with colored electric
lights last evening. The County Commis
sioners determined to do their share in hon
oring our guests, and they did it well. The
chief ornament was a mammoth American
shield, with the Stars and Stripes, the letters
"I. S." shining out boldly Irom their gor
