WHAT EAILEOADS HAVE POKE.
The Mayor then referred to the progress
ot the country in extending its railroad
mileage. He showed how the iron way bad
broucht remote places into touch, and said
that what printing did for the great truths
of the fifteenth century, railroads bare
done in the nineteenth century for the com
merce of the world and tbe brotherhood ol
the human race. He added:
Wherever the mountain is tunneled or the
hills yield their mineral wealth; wherever you
sec the smoke ascending from the chimney of
workshop or mill, there is labor ono of the
jnicbty factors that has caused the desert to
bring forth fruit and the wilderness to blossom

WELCOMED TO ALLEGHENY.
Mr. Adams next introduced George
Elphinstonc, E-q., City Solicitor of Alle
gheny, who said that he was there on behalf
ot Mayor Wynian, who was unavoidably
abseui, to extend the engineers a welcome
to the little village across the river known
as the Citv of Allegheny. He had much
pleasure in extending to :hem, by deputy,
the freedom of the citr. Applause.
"She is not so Urge as her sister city of i

Laughter. The world would not wag long
without woman, and let me say to you that

At this juncture one young lady in the
audience was so much gratified by Mr.
Elphin.-tone's allusion to her sisters that she
threw him a beautiful boquet which she was
wearing at her corsage. This brought forth
a burst of applause
Mr. Elphinstone referred to the conserva
tive leadership of Mr. Arthur, the progress
the order had made, the benefits derived
trom the insurance feature, and concluded
by saying:
"In all your efforts to further your mission of
charity, and better the condition of all the

PRAISE FROM THE PULPIT.
REV. FATHER CHARLES COYNE'S IM.
PROMPTU ADDRESi.
Ho Dwells Upon the Xeccsslry of Divine In
fluence Upon Matters of Arbitration A
Jteferrnce That Caused Amusement A
lilt of By -Way on the stage.
Mr. Adams next introduced the Her.
Tather Charles Coyne, who, in an eloquent
address, listened to with close attention
and frequently applauded, pointed out the
true spirit which should exist between cap
ital and labor as being based on tbe principles
of right and justice which has been laid down
by tbe divinity. In this connection he said:
There are but two vast classes which rule the
earth -that composed or the moneyed capitalists,
and thatmade up or the capital which Is supplied
by labor, in every attempt to solve the problem
between these two forces, there must be some
thing of God: something of the supernatural. It
must be In the nature of things that absolute
tustice be made the keynote of all the differences
that shall arise between these different rorin of
capital. It was a talse doctrine that
which supposed there was only one kind of labor,
that of the hands. There was the labor of tbe
brain, or the Intellect, as was found excmcllfled
In the case of those men who have become capital
ists by sheer force of hard endeavor, and by con
"Jant and laborious exertion. Every man has a
rifrtit to set rich,If he can only become so honestly
amljustlv What a man ha gained in this way.
no man shall deprive him of.
Tint which a man hits gained honestly and Jnst
lv, must remain man's. Thcreiore. it ucver can
become the right of any man that he shall dictate
to others what he shall do with that division
of the earth's riches which shall have been siren
him. The accumulation of riches should be
founded on the principle of Raining an increment
legallrsndJiistLy.' In relation to nnv contrary
methods the words of P.lcliard lirindsley bhcrldan
are npplicable "Take them all: place facets upon
them to make them Into bonfires, and above them
all, pure and unscathM. Jnstlce shall rise. " It is
upon this principle that yon must hope to Uveas
a labor organization. Is any man insane enough
as to think that any differences can be solved with
Jnstlce to capital and equal Instice to labor not
founded upon the Divine Justice?
We find that men hired by the great railroad
systems recognize this principle, and do not cive
car to the demagogues who would have it other
wise, and I will sav that It Is to the honor of the
Brotherhood or Locomotive Eneinccrs that all
men can say of them that thovhavc ?lvcn to their
work not the simple fealty'of ordinary men,
but that of a race or giants.
The speaker, proceeding, argued that tbe en
gineer should give to his employer all the skill,
intelligence, the passion of their souls, and the
power of their bodies, of which they were pos
sessed. That passion and desire to excel was
what made men rich. He said that they had
here on the stage a man who bad carved out
bis own fortunes, who came from the work
shop,and was to-day an ideal American citizen.
Mr. Carnegie, who had been silting with his
hand covering his face, here looked at Mr.
Depew, and smilingly pointed at him as tbe
person alluded to. while Jlr. Dcnew returned
the attention, insisting he was not referred to.
Mr. Depew had the best of the argument when
the speaker s?id that this man bad erected a
monument which would be an everlasting
illustration of what tbe workman could attain
to. This man. he continued, was proud of his
wealth because of tbe good he could do others
by means of it. The speakor.Mr. Coyne, wound
up a stirring sneech bv saying that in view of
the feelings which instigated such men as the
UrothcihiMid there never can again bn any dis
cussions netwren jou and your superiors.
Much applause. 1

Channcey M. Depew, on being introduced,
was received with a round of applause
three times repeated before the audience
would bear him. He advanced up the stage
acknowledging, with repeated bows, the flatter
ing reception accorded him. In the course of
a lengtbj" speech, Mr. Depew said:

This is the twenty-seventh animal convention of
the Brotherhood oi Locomotive Engineers. Dur
ing the period of your existence and prosperous
growth hundreds or labor organizations have
been formed and dissolved. They have been
started to carry out novel theories or to put in
practice unusual ana untried processes. The
success of jour body Is due to Us rigid
and unswerving adherence to the right
principles upou which it was founded.
THE NECESSITIES FOR SUCCESS.
It is clear that success is impossible unless the
manhood of the Individual is secure, and his
ability to Improve his condition and rise above
his surroundings Is conceded. Iliat the dromau
can become a locomotive engineer, the locomotiv e
engineer tne master mechanic, the master me
chanic the superintendent of motive power, the
superintendent of motive power the superintend
ent or general mauager of the railway and nossl
hlv its president, is the law of our American de
velopment and the source of onr national pre
eminence. The lundamental idea of your brotherhood is,
first, charity In support of the sick or injured,
and contrlb utlons to the families of the dead: sec
ond, education, which perfects the artisan in the
theory and practice ol his trade, and broadens
him for larger usefulness as a citizen: and, third,
protection in secnrlng and malntatnlug your
rights. Vc have In this countrv no accurate re
ports as to the administration of the funds of la
bor organizations or trade unions, but In England
these returns are made, and from them 1 gather
that for the last year 10 ofthe leading trade union
organizations of Great Britain exnended SI, 300, 000
in eharltv and insurance for their members and
only S12CO00 In labor disputes.
In the United Mates our pace Is so rapid, and
our development so phenomenal, that without'
due consideration we rush rapidly to extremes
This !s true, both or capital and labor. Efforts
have been made to rorm gigantic labor trusts, but
the scheme Is toojargc. .Nohraln yet made could
possibly grasp It
Within a lew vcars everything, from pine lands
to peanuts aud Irom sugar to sardines has been
organized Intosomc rorm of corporation or trust
This universal effort to absorb the Individual, to
divide the people Jnto employing companies and
emploves. and to destroy competition, will In
evitably end In disaster. Hostile legislation and
the laws of trade will leave only the legitimate en
terprises surviving, in all such associations of
trades and occupations having nothing in com
mon, certain qualities ol audacity, fluency of
speech, and capacity lor manipulating caucuses
aud conventions push tolherrunt many men who
know little orthe great Interests confided to their
care.
THE OPERATIONS OF A TRUST.
In the operations of what 1 may call the labor
trust lhave had three experiences. A force of 15
men were located at one point on the line aud In
common with other trades in that neighborhood
were members or the local assemby. This as
sembly had in It a carpenter, a glassblower, a
piano-tuner, a dancing master laughter and so
on. They were all In It. it was like a Scotch
haggis. Laughter, 'lhe master workman or
that assembly was a shoemaker who had a quarrel
with a passenger conductor, and to get even with
the railroad ordered these men to quit
work. 'Ihej lost their places, with all
the attendant misery to .themselves and their
families, without knowing why they were
ordered out. nor have they ever to this day pre
sented any statement. A lilgh official In the order
called upon ine by an anpoliument made bv his
private secretary. In discussing the alleged eflcv
ancc, which he came to correct, I speedily discov
ered that he knew nothing either ofthe character
or the work, orthe wages paid, or the hours or
service or th people whom he represented. He
then confessed that ie never had been in the rail
way service orworked an hour upon a railroad in
hlsllie.
1 said to him. "lam paid largely formvtlme,
but no' paid lor overtime." 1 round lie dirt not
know- anvtnlng about what he had come to talk to
me about,
A committee called upon me last rail with a
series of complaints and demands, all or which
were quickly and satisfactorily adjusted. They
then made a demand lor the Locomotive Engi
neers. I said to them, "gentlemen, that Is a
body able to speak for Itself." They then said
that their object was to break up the organization
or Locomotive Engineers and to gather Into the
one organization every department orthe rail
way service and that IT the management
ot the Central road would recognize the
claims of engineers only through them,
this result would be brought about,
and upon a mucn lower basis than the Brother
hood could admit under their rules and IT we did
not do so they would strlk and tie up the road.
I said to them. "1 regard the Brotherhood or Lo
comotive Engineers as the best labor organiza
tion In the United Mtafas asasareguard both to
the public and to the corporation against tbe un
reasonable demands or Intemperate violence, and
vou mav do vour worst, but In a matter which af
iects the ll'rotherhood 1 will recognize only
them." That night the officers or the Brother
hood were Informed, and the concession made to
tlieni. aud that threat of a strike was never carried
out.
HOW HE WENT ABROAD.
.ears or successful trial, or fair, frank and
friendly discussions with the employes of the Cen
tral, upon questions or dlilcreiices which arose
from time to time, had led ine to believe that a
strike was impossible upon the line or that road.
In that trust 1 went abroad on my annual holiday
during the snmmcr to have mv hopes roughly
shattered while musing at Oberammcrgau one
bliadav evening on the haDpv lesson nrpeace and
good will among men taught by the 1'asslon i'lav.
bv a cable announcing that the words "Webster's
lilctlonarj" flashed over the wires had cuustd
thousands to desert their posts, and the greatest
arterj of commerce and travel In IhcUnltedStales
to be stopped. But when 1 reached vicuna I re
ceived a cable that reassured me Itrcad: lhe
engineers stand firm." Applause
in the riots or 1803, when the City or New York
was in tbe possession of a mob. trains orthe Hud
son lfiver road were stopped, and hundreds oi
women were In the depot at Thirtieth street un
able to get to tbetr homes. Thcrloters threatened
to kill anyone who tried to move a wheel. An
engineer instantly volunteered, and said: "Iwlll
take that train up therlvur." On either side of
the road were men frenzied with rage and with
drink, ready for murdcroranv desperate deed,
but they were so awed by tne calm courage of this
engineer that he was permitted to proceed. This
last summer, after 40 v cars o service on the Cen
tral, this engineer. Henry Mllllkln. lolned the
silent majority. His name stands amour the un
heraldedhcroes who are the pride and tbe glory
of our humanity.
EvcrydlQculty must he solved upon its own
merits. It is Just here that an intelligent labor
organization, composed only of the occupation
which seeks to secure a right or redress a wrong,
can meet its employer upon grounds which will
show theirmutual dependence and promote their
common benefit. It Is just here that ignorance or
incompetency on the one side produces irritation
and resistance on the other, aud capital loses its
earnings and labor its wages, i'rolongcd ap
plause. Mr. Carnegie was the next speaker. He said
that though he was only a manufacturer, be
was always glad to be with railroad organiza
tions, or telegraphers, because it was in that
service he got his first start In life. He was
near becoming a railroad man, but be reformed
in time. rLaughter. Mr. Carnegie referred to
tbe system of paying men on the sliding scale
plan, and advocated it as tbe most lust that
could be adopted as between labor and capital.

Moorhead, McCleano fc Co.'s Soho
Blast Furnace the Scene of
a Frightful Disaster.
NINE WORKMEN HORRIBLY BURNED
One Man, in Frantic Agony, Eolls in the
Mud to Cool the Fierce Pans
of His Wounds.
TWO TiCTIMS DEAD AND TWO DIIXG.
A Stranger Faints at the Horrible Spict&cls Which
Ee Witnessed.
Moorhead, McCIeane & Co.'s mill on
Second avenue was the scene of a disastrous
accident yesterday afternoon, which has
already resulted in the death oi two men,
two more are dying, and others are more or
less injured.
A gang of men were employe! in remov
ing the slag and cinder from the blast fur
nace, which bad been in steady operation
for over two years, preparatory to reliuing
it. The furnace stands on iron pillars, the
bottom being about 20 feet above the floor.
THE DEATH-DEALING FLAME
This bottom had been removed, and tbe
men were working inside to dislodge the
mass of slag and cinder which clung to the
inner walls of the great stack. The stack
had been flooded with wafer for 24 hours
and appeared to be cold, but under the sur
face it was still red hot.
Forty feet above the men clung to the
side ofthe stack a mass of slag which
weighed over two tons, and every effort was
being made to dislodge it, while a number
of workmen stood by watching the opera
tion and chatting.
With a sudden crash the mass of slag
gave way and dropped to the floor, the
molten mass shot out between the pillars
and before one of tbe group of men In the
gateway could get away they were en
veloped in a sheet of flame aud a cloud of
burning ashes and molten metal.
BURNED BY SLAG AND FLAME.
The men were horribly burned. There
were nine men in tbe group, and all of them
suffered, one man having- the shoes burned
off his feet. The men employed at the
works rushed to their assistance at once,
and in a few minutes had them removed to
places of safety. For a time it wa3 thought
that someone might be under the pile of
debris, but an investigation showed that
this was not tbe case.
The hospital ambulances were called at
once, and the men were sent to the Homeo
pathic and Mercy Hospitals. Three of
them were sent down town to the Homeo
pathic. Edward Hughes, of Tustin street,
was burned all abont the body, and died
at the hospital at 730. He was
married and leaves a family.
His body was taken to Flannery's
undertaking rooms. John Beering, a Hun
garian, 23 years of age, was burned about
the body, and at 10 o'clock last night tbe
hospital authorities said he could not live
until this morning. Jerry Hennessey, the
third man taken to the Homeopathic, was
burned about the feet; he will recover.
A BATH OF MOLTEN METAL.
Six oi the sufferers w;ere taken to the
Mercy Hospital. Mike Korwart was the
most severely burned. His whole body
was scarred. His clothing had caught fire,
and his feet had gotten a bath from the mol
ten slag that had shriveled up the leather
ic his shoes and left his feet charred
stumps. He died at G:30 and his body was
taken to the morgue. Korwart was a Hun
garian, 2S years of age. Mis sufferings had.
been terrible, and after the accident, before
help came to blm. be had rolled about in the
mud and water in tbe street trying to lessen the
agony of bis burns.
Andrew Haydia will probably die before
morning, lie is Darned about the face and
head, and probably inhaled tbe names. He is
32 years of age and lived at Fifth avenue and
Sono street. Ills wife Is dead, but be leaves
one child in Hungary.
August Murseh is in a critical condition and
will probably die. His case is particularly un
fortunate. He is the one man among the vic
tims w ho did not work for tbe firm. He was
employed at the Keystone mill close by. and
on his way to work stopped to speak to a man
he knew in tho group. While he stood there
tbe accident came. His injuries are about tbe
bead, face and body. Murscb is 35 years of
age, has a wife and four children and lived on
Second avenue near Sobo street.
Lalgla Fedor was burned about the face and
back and bis condition Is serious. He is 33
years of ace. He lives at 104 Tustin street, and
has a wife and four children in Hungary.
Frederick Baker, of 69 Tustin street, and
Louis Yardon, of 101 Tustin street, suffered
painful injuries bnt will recover.
OAU8E OF THE DISASTEB.
The accident was not caused byv the giving
away of any part of tbe furnace. The bottom
had been taken out of the stack to clean it and
tbe sudden rnsb of a largo quantity of tbe
slag, etc, caught tbe group of men. None of
tbe crew engaged in cleaning thefurnace were
injured as they were working on the opposite
sloe of tbe stack with a long iron bar. The
Coroner will bold an Inquest Monday.
The crash of the falling slag and the flash of
tbe flame caused the report to spread that the
battery of bailers had exploded, and that the
entire mill was wrecked. Immediately the
families and friends of the millmen rnshed to
tbe spot, and In a few moments 2,000 or 3,000
person were Clamoring for admission to the
mill. A detail of police was promptly on hand,
however, and kept the crowd back while the
work of removing tbo Injured men was per
formed. Andrew Wyman, who was on his way from
Cantoi.. O.. to Trenton, N. J., happened to bo
passing when the accident occurred, and fell to
the pavement In a dead faint. He was re
moved to the Fourteenth ward station, where,
after an boor's hard work by Sergeant McEl
haney, be was brought to.

IT IS A LANDSLIDE.
Local Politicians Aijree Upon This
One Fact, But Differ as To
WQICfl WAT THE CAT WILL JDMP.
General Sheridan, Between Speeches, Talks
' on National Politics.
WARD MEETINGS BECOMING NUMiSEOUS
"It's a landslide." That's the way the
political situation is summed up at the
three headquarters in this citv. "While
there is an agreement on this point, there is
striking difference of opinion as to which
way the land will slide.
At the Democratic headquarters it is
called a Pattison avalanche. The ex and
possibly next Governor is expected here
during the last week of the campaign, when
be will speak in Sharpsburg, on the South
side, and in the suburbs generally.
The dismal weather could not depress the
buoyant spirits of the Independent Repub
licans who were gathered together at their
headquarters yesterday, and predictions of
from 50,000 to 100,000 majority for Pattison
shivered the murky atmosphere with roseate
flashes.
N. i. Ayrcs. Vico Chairman of the Indepen
dent Republican State Committee, was
at the Pittsburg headquarters yesterday.
Mr. Ayres was an active factor in
the election of Governor Beaver, but
now he is organizing the 20 western counties of
tho State in the interest of Pattison. He said
yesterday: Thousands of old-time Repub
lican's will vote for Pattison because they are
onpoee 1 to boss dictation. The old soldiers are
also coming to the front, and expre-s their de
termination to rescue from the hands of cor
rnptinnists the country they risked their lives
to save. The indications are that Delainaler
will be repudiated even in his own comity, and
it is doubtful whether Andrews can win his
own fight. It was largely to give Andrews more
time to attend to his own canvass that Cooper
was brought into the campaign. 1 expect that
the Republican majority in Somerset county
will go down to or below zero."
The crowd at tbo Republican headquarters
was large and apparently cheerful. Mr. John
N. Neeb, candidate for State Senator from the
Forty-second district, said: "Yes, it is a land
slide, and it's sliding our way. Tho Repub
licans are coming back to the fold, and coming
with a rush. They will all bo in lino in a few
days, and a week before election we will know
within a few hundred votes just what Mr.
DelamaterV majority will be."
OUT IN LAWBENCEVILLE.
A Republican Meeting in the Old Lawrence
Itink and Its Results.
A Delamator meeting was held in the Liw
rence rink last evening. Emmet Cotton, Esq,,
opened the meeting, which needed a little
artificial warmth to enthuse the auditors. He
said it was the Republican party that bad
passed the contract labor law, the child labor
law, the tariff law, and every other conceivable
law, but neglected to state what connection
there was between his theme aud the fitness of
the respectlveJcandulates for Governor. He
referred to Governor Pattiton's attitude on the
Washington county miners' imprisonment and
the Emery charges.
Genoral George A. Sheridan, of New York,
spoke for two hours, and might have been talk
ing yet it the gas had not frozen in the pipes.
His speech also was a tirade acalnst the Demo
cratic party, and the Civil War was fought
over once more. A,fter covering the tariff,
slavery and considerable ancient history he got
clown to work and indulged in personalities.
He said about Governor Pattison: "He is a
man without charity and without loyalty. He
is the son of a Maryland Copperhead, a
preacher, a man who hated the American flag.
He is the son of ruch a man. In bis term as
Governor his only act of prominence was a
veto of tbo soldiers' burial bill."
Mayor Gnurley was also present, but did not
get time to deliver a speech.
WHY THEY AEE INDEPENDENT.
A 'Well Attended Meeting at the Forbes
Street Schoolhouse.
There was a well attended meeting of the
Independent Republicans of the Sixth ward
held last evening in tbe Forbes street school
house. It was called to order by Peter Shields,
Chairman of the Committee on Organization.
Henry A. Schaffer was called to tho chair, and
Julius Clyer acted as secretary.
James Balph, Eq., of Wilkinsburg. made
a short speech, bringing forth the charges
made against Senator Delamater. George R.
Beecher made an address defending ex-Governor
Pattison on the yev of tho soldiers'
burial bill, and Thomas Grundy made a tew re
marks in favor of the independent movement.
The meeting concluded with the adoption ol
tbe followinc resolution:
Kesolved. That we, the undersigned Kepub
licans, do hereby pledge ourselves In tbe Interests
of good government to vote for UobertK. Patti
son. and use all honorable means for his elec
tion. The resolution was signed by those present.
A meeting will be held in the Thirteenth
ward school to-night.
CAUGHT BETWEEN SPEECHES.
General Sheiidan Breaks Away From State
and Discusses National Politics.
General George A. Sheridan arrived in the
city yesterday, and addressed a Republican
meeting in tbe Lawrence Rink in the evening.
The General is an old carapalgner.and has been
out on the road since September 25 making Del
amater speeches. He had justcome from Craw
lord county.where be spcut two weeks working
among the farmers. He says Delamater will
receive 2.000 majority in his own county. He
said:
"No, I don t think the Farmers' Alliance Is
gome to amount to a great deal as a political
lactor.for the reasou that when such an organ
ization attains a certain strength, the evils it is
fighting will develop within the organization
a.id ruin the true intent of it. It will be like
the old Grange and as a unit the organization
will not amount to anything. Yes, I think
there will bo an extra session of Congress. The
Republicars, however, need not fear any ob
struction measures of tho Democrats.as Speak
er Reed will continuo to count a quorum just
the same. Reed will be a candidate for Presi
dent in "Xi if Blaine is out ol the tight."
NOTHING LEFT TO EIGHT.
Since the Fnll of Mnhone, Virginia Demo

in less than four hours. Hi- also saj-s since the
downfall of .Mahone tho Democrats have be

to fight. Tho good old days, tbe Judge says,

POSTPONED THEIE LOVE FEAST.
Only n. Small Crowd Was Ready for One
Meeting of Didepcmlents.
A small crowd of Independent Republicans
gathced at the Third ward school bouse,
North avenue, Allegheny, last evening, on the
announcement that there would be a meeting
of Pattison's Republican supporters. Tbe
meeting was postponed until next Monday
evening, when more complete arrangements
will be made. The inclement weather and a
misunderstanding interfered with the attend
ance. Tho managers of tho proposed meeting said
last evening that if the weather on the new
date proves all right they have hopes for a
good turnout and somo excellent speeches.
Delamater at Par.
V. M. Henry, Chief of the Indian Division

Symphonic Concert To-Night High Water
and the Elver Front Some Talk Abont
Future Flans Not One Vote Against
Separate Reform Schools for Females.
Since the opening ol the Exposition there
have been just 21 rainy evenings, but last
night was the most remarkable of all. It is
strange how people will endure the discom
forts of miserable weather for social pleasure
and enjoyment, bnt, 'tis a fact, nevertheless,
and in the superlative degree, to judgo from
last nitrhl's crowd.
The high water has played havoc with the
river front of the Exposition butldincs, wash
ing away tbe banks considerably. Next year
tbe society will either build a retaining wall or
drive piles along the front and All in with rip
rap work.
Tho final symphonic concert of the series
will be rendered to-night, and a charming
programme has been prepared.
To-morrow niirht will end the big show for
this year. Baker, tbo pop-corn man, has
secured the same rights at the coming World's
Fair as in the Expo. Tbe cafe company will
also be found at tbe Chicago show, lnnes'
Band goes from hero to tbe Dallas, Tex.. Expo
sition for a two weoks' engagement. He will
then put bis band on the road for the winter
concert season. Tbo tea hong and Japanese
garden will be replaced next year by a more
elaborate and costly exhibit, on an altogctber
new plan.
There was not a single negative vote resis
teied on THK DISPATCH poll books yesterday.
The voting topic w.i-: "Jsbonld Separate Re
form Schools for Females be Erected in West
ern Pennsylvania." Voters were from all sec
tions of the bt.ite and tho result is significant
of the feeling of the masses on this subject.
Some of the remarks were: "Present system
demoralizing;" "A step in the right direction;"
There is a necessity for such a reform;"
"Should locate one in Pittsburg."
NEW VERTICAL NAVIGATION LOCK.
Arthur Kirk & Son, Mechanical Hall.
Only a few hours are left in which to in
spect this wonderinl invention. It is a rad
ical change to have the gates move verti
cally instead of the usual horizontal method.
These gates are raised by hydraulic pressure
under them, behind the boat; they are low
ered by simply relieving the pressure, the
.weight of the gates causing them to fall, and
tho boats pass directly over them. The
pressure or the release is controlled by a
system of small gates and levers, which reg
ulate the amount of water coming from the
higher level, which water, it will be ob
served, comes through conduits constructed
in the sides of the lock. Tbe principles
upon which these gates are made and op
erated enables them to be extended indefi
nitely in height, so that the lock can be
made of any desired lilt. With this
working model 1,000 gallons of water per
minute are used when they are demonstrat
inc the system; it is a great deal of water,
but then the model is of unusual size. An
other circumstance to be considered in this
connection is, that these same principles are
applicable for dams, which by them can be
lowered in high water, and raised again
when there is necessity. Rivermen and
others conversant in these matters call it "a
downright sensible contrivance, that will
work as it is claimed for it." The long ex
perience of these people certainly entitle
them to form a judgment in these tbings;
the general public finds itseli interested
greatly perhaps there is a vague idea that
among them all, some fortunate mortal may
discover even something better; if he does
it will put him to his paces, lor this patent
has indubitably struck the key note, and its
future is assured. Has everybody noticed the
model of tbe original Bear Trap Sam built
in 1826? It is a curious looking object, and
rcmurkable as the antithesis of the Kirk
patents.
Hopper Bros. & Co., 307 Wood Street.

EXPOSITION PEOrLE LEAVE,
And Call at Kleber Bros.'
After viewing the splendid sights at the
Exposition most of the visitors (who mean
business) call at H. Kleber & Bros.', COG
"Wood street, and select one of their superior
pianos and organs. They know in their
hearts that to make a fine show is one thing
and to give people the very finest instru
ments at the price of the common second
class goods is quite another thing. The
Messrs. Kleber & Bro, enjoy the fullest
confidence of the public, and whether they
exhibit or not, whether they hold forth on
the principal business streets of Pittsburg,
Wood street, or in Diamond or Virgin
alley, the public will seek them out and
congratulate themselves that they have
found out the place which is utterly saleand
reliable, and above the sharp tricks of new
houses which have come in at the eleventh
hour aud which have to rely upon the
credulity of the public to get rid ot their
goods using cluhs and other knock-down
arguments to bulldoze their callers into
buying their inferior wares articles which
the Kleber Bros, had long since rejected as
unworthy of being associated with their
honorable record and name. Snch pianos
as Steinway's, Conover's, Opera, Gabler,
