INTEREST IS THE CURE RENEWED. Old .Antagonists of the Eoch McUiod Stamp the Interview as a Very Proper Exposure of It OTHEB MUSICIANS SAT OTHERWISE. What rrcmiccnt Medical lien ThinV Eegarding This Vexed Question. The recital of Dr. E. T. Painter's exper iences while under a four months' course of 3voch lymph treatment at IJcrlin, published ciclnsivcly in yesterday's Dispatch, was & matter for discusviou which occupied a pood many people yesterday. Dr. Painter is well known in Pittsburg, both profes sionally and socially, and the statements emanating from him respecting his opinion of the lymph cure excited very general in terest His strong reflections on the prac tice of the Juropeac physicians and his entire tlcav.uciation of all worth in the efficacy of the Koch lymph as a remedy for tuberculosis were received with much sur prise by medical men, who remembered the encouraging reports cf his progress which Dr. Painter f.ent l:cie from Berlin. In fact, many of the physicians, whose opinions on tho sta'ements made in The Disfatcu article yes-terday were canvassed, hesitated not to express strong doubts as to whether Dr. Painter did say all that was at tributed to him. In this relation Tim Dis TATCir can thoroughly vouch for the entire reliability of its 2Cew York correspondent's account of his interview with Dr. Painter. An Opinion on tho Article. Among physicians the charges brought ncainst the remedial properties of the lymph excited as much interest as the pergonal ex periences of oi,e of their body. The old antagonism which a majority of the pro fession have always entertained toward the innovation was awakened, and on the other hand, physicians who had attempted its use "were not backward in expressing their opinion of tho developments from the Painter interview. Among the latter Dr. Iange, of Pcnn avenue, is known as prom inent. He has used the lymph extensively at the "West Penn Hospital and elscwhcrj. "When called upon yesterday for an ex pression of opinion he said that he only took patients sent him by other physicians, itnd it was for them to say whether their patients should take the lymph or not. "I am surprised at some of the statements alleged to have been made by Dr. Painter," said Dr. Langc, "and I am loth to believe that all those attrihutedto him in the report in Tins Dispatch were made hy him. Dr. Painter, like all other men who fail to at tain health by the use of the lymph, is dis appointed, but. as I have a slight acquaint ance witii the doctor, I do not believe the M-tural disappointment would prompt him to say the bitt:r things the article con tains. He is mads to sav, for instance, that in th" European hospitals patients are being 'killed by hundreds, and that "they have killed nie,' and that 'he was saved by the sea voyago." Th"se statements are incon gruities. That Dr. Yon Uergmann or one of his assistants saw Dr. Painter every two hour, is evidence of their interest ih and devotion to him. and it seems harsh, even if they failed to restore him to health, to re ward theirservices by accusations of having killed him. I'aiients Dj inc; From Tuberculosis. "The charge that tuberculosis is inocu lated by the lymph," coutinued Dr. Lange, "will rot hold. In the first place, only Euclt patients as alrcadv have tuberculosis are treated by the lvmpli; and, in the next, because the lymph is frequently boiled, thus destroying the bacillusj its spores, and other " germs with which it may become contaminated. "When patients have pulmonary tuberculosis on one side and treated by the lymph without effect and die with tuberculosis upon both sides, this result cannot be charged to their treatment' for the very good reason when a consump tive dies of' this disease, without having had the lymph, both sides are invariably af fected. This has been proven by thousands of autopsies. Both sides are always in volved, lymph or no lymph. Dr. Painter also complains in the articles," said Dr. Xjinge, again referring toa copy of yester day's Disi'ATCir, "that he has been sub jected to rude attacks upon his 'regularity of habits,' tnat 'the weak native red wine' did not suit his taste: that 'the sanitary ar rangements of the clinic were not satisfac tory.' aud that his wounds were not sewed tip. His whole treatment at the hands of Dr. Yon Bergmann and his assistants, some of whom were with him constantly, was bad. "What reward these doctors received is not stated, but their punishment is as strong as Doctor Painter can make it. "You must understand," Dr. Lange con tinued, "that I do not defend the lymph treatment of tuberculosis. I have re'fused ten patients where I have treated one. I have frequently pointed out its uncertainty. It will require many years yet before it can be assigned its proper place. Tito l're&ent Status or the Iiymph. "Patients like Dr. Painter should remem ber this, and not embrace it unless they are prepared to take consequences; this being at the least a failure to cure and not, as at tributed to Dr. Painter in the article, dis aster, torture and death. As to the status of the lymph at present, it is definitely as certained that it has an effect upon the tuiHTCulous ti.sue. that the effect is'good in tome cases, and in some cases b.id, and that ut present it deserves consideration with the other remedies for tuberculosis." Dr. "W. T. Unglish said that time was a cecsssary fatstor in pioving or disproving the merits of Koch's lymph. "The cautious ikepticand the impulsive enthusiast," he paid, "alike deplore its apparent failure. Oa account of the very Haltering leports received here and printed at the time in Tjn: Dispatch, it was anticipated that Dr. Painter would furnish a more favorable recital of his experiences than tharnppear jngin yesterday's issue of TitK Despatch. ICow, to observe this hopeful au'd earnest patron of Dr. Koch turn aside w ith disap pointment will do much to prejudice the laity against the treatment. It can not be denied that, so far, the lymph has offered little else than opportunity for experiment. The reports of cures are rare, anil those are :a the first stages of consumption. Any experienced phy-iciaii. by availing l.inisuf of methods Already known, can treat these cai-es with letter results. To say that the lymph lias a special remedial power is not justified by the reports from tne hospitals, and places where it Las been employed. It Has ot Kilted Yet. "I have yet to learn of its killing any body, and it Dr. Painter uies hi claims Tie is already killed, in consequence of his treatment abroad lie will Lc the first Penn sylvania:! to be so martyred." A physician w ho has been using the Koch lymph lor sonic time wan requested to state hie vie s respecting Dr. Painter's charges. He was unwilling his name should be men tioned. He K..d: "If Dr. Painter's state ments are not colored in the report, his. present arsertions regarding the efficacy of tho tr-ul.neut in his o n case are at variance with the accounts received from him while ut Berlin, and published in Tun Dispatch s.t the time. If Dr. Painter now feels as ho expresses himself in the report, he has very considerably modified ki3 opiiiion of the value of the lymph. I know nothing of Dr. Painter's ailment, and therefore cannot say whether his case was one which should have been benefited by the treatment. "It cannot be too nrmly borne in mind that no claims are advanced for the Koch lymph as a cure. It is a means to an end, as any other article in the pharmacopoeia is, and nothing more. Its efficacy as a means to. an end depends Very much on the nature of tho case. There are certain selected cases' in which the lymph lias brought about a cure, but there are hundreds of others in which the lymph is of no more avail than any other medicine- It Hal Effected Good Results. "Very much injury has been done by the premature claims set up for the lymph as a cure; whether it is so or not will only be demonstrated in time. It has effected good results in some cases, but in many others it has not been of anv use at all." Dr. M. A. Arnholt said: "Yes, sir, I have read tiie article, but have not had time to give it a careful study. From what I have read it is just what I have expected and been waiting for for some time. I think it is the bet exposure of the tuber culosis cure that I have read. I did not be lieve in It from the first and was rather war)-of taking it p. It is like all these so-called wonderful discoveries that spring uj in the night like a mushroom, only to die in a short time. Neither do I believe that drunkenness can !e cured by the lvmph, as a certain physician claims. To my mind it is similar tothe Burgen process of injecting gases into the stomach. Numer ous physicians took to the idea and pur chasedinstruments to experiment with, but it wa of no more use than a puff of foul air into the pure atmosphere. Then the Brown-Sequard cure came along and-fell flat Physicinns cannotbe too careful in experimenting with new ideas. Glad to See the Exposnre. "There has been a few who claim to have been cured of tuberculosis, but I have yet to hear from any physician who claims an actual cure. You know as well as I that a consumptive person is the last one to ac knowledge the dread disease. I don't be lieve in it, and you can say for me that I am glad to sec the exposure of this lymph process, as jl tninK tins pu-caueu cui e wl done more harm than good." Dr. Thomas Shaw said, in connection with the value of the Koch lymph, that he had never looked upon it as a reliable cure. It was absurd to suppose that a man with a lung gone conldbe restored to health by the treatment. He had had no faith in the claims for the Koch system, and couldn't understand how people allowed themselves to be carried away by excessive zeal ia its behalf. Dr. R. "W. Stewart, who has been using the Koch lymph at the Mercy Hospital, has an article on "Tuberculosis" in the June issue of the Jtfdteal Jfcriewr. After an ex amination of the subject he refers to ths ' Koch lvmph. He says that "the most re markable remedy vet brought to light, and one which has made its already famous dis coverer a household name in every home in the land, is Koch's lymph, or. as it is more properly called, 'tuberculin.'" Cases Benefited by the Remedy. "It is exceedingly difficult to give a satis factory opinion as to the value of a remedy lite this which has so many Diased oppo nents and blindly enthusiastic advocates. What I have to say is the result of consid erable attention to the voluminous litera tuie of the subject, as well as personal ob servation of a great many cases under treat ment in the hospitals "of Berlin, and also about three months' experience with the use of the remedy in this city. In order to be brief, my opinions must necessarily be dogmatical. Tuberculin is of consid erable value as a diagnostic agent, but is not always reliable, the re action being often wanting in the sur gical forms of tuberculosis and also occa sionally in the pulmonary form. As a rule the most marked benefits arc obtained where the necrotic tubercular tissue can be thrown off from the surfaoe as in lupus, tubercular laryngitis and tubercular ulcers. Most cases of pulmonary tuberculosis in the early stages will be benefited by the remedy, some to a very marked degree, so that a cure may be fairly claimed. Ad vanced cases of pulmonary, tuberculosis where cavities have formed( and especially if the disease is rapid in its progress, are not likely to be benefited, and will probably be injured by the treatment. In the surgical forms of tuberculosis, tuberculin will be an aid to the operative treatment by assisting in the complete eradication of the tubercular tissue." SISTER AGAINST SISTER. A Stubbornly Contested Lnnacy Case Kirs. 1'nnnnan "Wants Mrs. Bauss De clared Insane Story of an Estate Left for Six Daughters to Fight For. A stubbornly contested case in lunacy has been pending for three days before Com missioner T. S. Parker, and yesterday went to a jury, mainly of lawyers, with an ex Sheriff thereon. The jury will render its decision this morning at 9 o'clock. As the story was developed, Mrs. John Bauss, who lived on the if ew Brighton road, died in April last, leaving by will her property to her six daughters, all of whom resided in the homestead except Mrs. Peter Franzman, who lives in the JJast End. It seems that Mrs. Franzman and her mother had not been on good terms for years, and it is said the latter did not visit her mother duringher last illness. In the latter part of June Mrs. Franzman instituted proceedings to have her sister, Miss Elizabeth Bauss, declared a lunatic, and the case has been very determinedly fought, all of the remaining sisters coming to the rescue of Elizabeth. The testimony of many prominent physicians has been taken, among others that of Drs. C. C. Wiley, of Penn avenue; C C. Hersman, of the Southside; Dr. Avers, of Penn avenue, and Dr. King, of Allegheny. The attorneys for Mrs. Franzman were S. M. Raymond and W. E. Fulton, and for Miss Bauss, the respondent, J. W. Kin near. The expert testimony was apparently quite strong for the respondent. HUMOR BIH Xyo had a terrible time frith some eccentric fireworKs on the Fourth See his letter in THE DISPATCH to-morrow. JUSSIKG STUES POUND. Superintendent Glenn Discovers Old Amuse ment licenses in a Cellar. At the request of Mayor Wyman, Assist ant Superintendent Glenn, of the Allegheny police force yesterday made a search for the missing stubs of license books which the Auditing Committee made a request for. Mr. Glenn made a search and in the rear of one of the vaults found the stubs of amuse ment license books, issued during the terms of Mayors Pearson and Wyman. Tha stubs arc the ones that made so much of a difference in the finding of the commit tee. Among them was a book which re called the celebrated Bavcnna trasedy. This book helped to clear Ilobinson, who was accused ot being a party to the murder cf a Cleveland detective. Superintendent Glenn will to-dav inaugurate a search for the missing vehicle license stubs. AFTEE STEEET BAILWATS. An Ordinance to Be Presented In Allegheny Regulating Speed.

Three Concerns Absorbed by the Rational Tube Works Company. MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTKIAL ITEMS The finishing touches have-'been put on the mammoth plate glass plant at Irwin, and it is expected that operations will be commenced within the next week. It is in- teuded not to wait until the beginning of the next fire, but to start the plant as soon as preparations can be completed. It is said that the plant will excel either of the ones at Charleroi or Ford City, and that the glass will be turned out by methods un like those used at any other factory in the country. Forty pots have been provided, which makes the factory one of the largest, if not the very largest, in existence. Forty sheets of glass can be produced daily. With an average of 150x170 square feet in each plate, the product of the plant can be esti mated at 1,250,000 square feet annually. The buildings of the company cover nearly six acres of ground, and required 5.500JO00 brick for their construction. The furnace stack is 23 fet in diameter at the bp.se, 18 feet at the top, and 140 feet high. There arc 7 grinding machines, having a surface of 170 feet and weighing 80,000 pounds each. Each grinder is run by a sep arate pair of engines. The polishing machines that will be used are of an improved pattern, the work of the company's foreman, who has been at the work six years. There are 36 polishing disks to each machine, all covered by felt cloth made in the United States. The tore man who made the improvements on the polishing machines asserts that with them one side of aplatecanbepolishedsufficiently for mirror purposes inside of five hours. The company has seven polishing ma chines, each operated by a separate pair of engines, as in the case of grinders. There are 19 double upright engines to supply the power for the plant, fed by a 1,200-horse-power boiler. The cost of the works amounts to 5850:000. When the factory be gins operations it will be operated by Ameri can men, nearly all of whom are natives. The firm will employ 200 men. AMALGAMATED AFFAIES. The Big Strike at Steelton Delayed Upon the Advice of Leaders. The strike at Duquesne continues and the men are standing firm. There are between 600 and 700 men idle and the town is dull. There has been some comment relative to the fact that none of the Amal gamated officials have yet visited Duquesne, and it has even been hinted that they did not care much whether or not the strike was won. President Weihe said yesterday: "Of course we want to see the men at Duquesne win, but I don't think the public is interested in causes which have kept us away, if we have not been there." The big strike which was supposed to have taken place at Steelton yesterday did not occur. Assistant President Marland and four other members of the association have been at Steelton for two days trying to adjust matters. The original programme was that the scale was to be presented to the firm yesterday, and if they refused to sig i, one of the largest strikes the associa tion has ever had was to be inaugurated. "Vi ce President Gallagher advised against this plan, and the strike has been deferred. The men at the Green Ridge works in Scranton are'on strike under novel circum stances. The firm jumped at the chance to sign the new scale because it was 10 per cent lower than what they had been paying, but when the men returned to work they discovered their error and quit work. The firm claims the men have violated an agree ment which they originated themselves. INCREASING THE CAPACITY. A Tfew Addition to Be Made to the United States Tin Plate Plant. Steps" are being taken to double the ca pacity of the United States Iron and Tin Plate Company's plant at Demmler. A few weeks ago the company took out a char ter, increasing its capital stock to $500,000. This will enable the firm to operate on a much larger scale than formerly. Bids are now being taken on the addition to the plant. The present works will enable the com pany to fill the majority of its orders from now until the present s'tock of foreign tin plate is exhausted, but next spring the de mand for American tin plate is expected to be greatly increased and the home manufact urers are preparing to meet the demand. WITHDREW THE CHABOES. A. T. Donthett Iteleased Upon a Promise to Make Up His Alleged Shortage. The case of A. T. Douthett, Secretary and Treasurer of the Porter-Douthett Ma chine Works, Allegheny, who was charged before Alderman McMasters by his partner in the firm, J. P. Porter, Jr., with embezzle ment, was brought up yesterday afternoon. The total sum involved in the informations was $12,790. Attorneys C, C. Dickey and Lewis Mc Mullen represented the plaintiff and E. P. Jones the defendant. The suits were with drawn by the plaintiff, upon the defendant signing over his interest in the firm and personal property sufficient to cover the amount charged against him. THE PLUMBERS GO BACK. Another Trade Fails to Win Its Very Fro longed Fight. The plumbers have practically declared their strike off and the apprentices have followed suit. Both organizations held meetings yesterday, and while the strike was not officially declared off the men were informed that they might go to work. The men lay their defeat to the carpenters. If the building trades had been in full operation the plumbers could have easily won their fight against the obnoxious rules. Some of the best men have left the city and are working eight hours in Chicago for more money than the men will get who go back at nine hours here. CANNOT FUBNISH GAS. The Philadelphia Company Cuts Off the Supply From Glasshouses. The Philadelphia Gas Company has noti fied a number of window glass manufactur ers on the Southside that they will not fur-- msh thein with gas after next month. This places most of them in a bad position. Some of them, and particularly George A. Mac beth & Co., had gone to heavy expense in putting in an apparatus by which they could operate on a lower pressure, and while the present move was not altogether unlooked for, it was unexpected at this time. There will no doubt be a boom now in fuel gas producers. Abont Heady to Build. The new Spang Steel and Iron Company, mentioned frequently in these columns, has about perfected arrangements for the erec tion or their new plant at Etna. The im provements will cost 5200,000. A lMg Land Sale. The Frick Company has just' purchased SSOO.OOO worth of coaX lands from J. V. Thompson and John A. Nlcolls, ur South. and North Union townships, Westmore land county, making a total of 1,200,000 the Bellers have received from that com pany. The Frick Company now holds 40, 000 of the 63,000 acres in the Connellsville region. A BIG CONSOLIDATION. The National Tube "Works Company Ab sorbs Three Concerns. The National Tube Works Company is to bereincorporated.takingiatheMonongahela Furnace Company, the Republic Iron Works and the Boston Iron and Steel Com pany. The three companies have all been established by the National Tube Works stockholders, and will now be merged with it upon the basis reached' by a committee of appraisement valuing the plant A New Jersey charter was selected be cause of provisions under laws of that State permitting the issue of preferred stock. Thp "National Tnbe Works was started at East Boston in 186!) and shortly after moved to Pennsylvania, although continuing to be owned mostly in Boston. It is now the largest concern in the world manufacturing wrought iron tubes, the annual output being $15,000,000. Industrial Notes. A koveltt works is to be established at Barnesville.

WEAPPED HER IN HIS-0VEEC0AT A Cruel Conductor Eefosed . to Carry Them for Love or Money. NOT DENIED THAT THEi'WERE MARRIED "There goes another reporter," said a voice from a crowd of urchins standing on the sidewalk in front of Ho. 174 Locust street, Allegheny, yesterday afternoon. A Dispatch representative rang the door bell and inquired for Mr. W. B. Moseley, the hero of the elopement story, the full and correct particulars of which, as pub lished in The Dispatch yesterday morn ing, created such an amount of talk over Allecheny and Pittsburg. "Yes, Mr. Moseley is in," said the servant girl. "Won't you step into the parlor? He will be down in a moment." A few moments later Mr. Moseley ran lightly down stairs and confronted his vis itor. He did not appear to be suffering from any ill effects of his journey to Alli ance, and his subsequent trip into the coun try with Miss Bessie Steadman. In fact, his appearance tallied exactly with the description of him published in yesterday morning's paper. He still wore the light suit, light colored necktie and patent leather shoes, and was as pleasant and cordial as his countenance indicates is usual with him. In reply to questions, he said the story published in The DisrATCH was, in the main, correct. There were some minor de tails that were not quite as they occurred, and some things happened that were not told, but these were of no great conse quence. Mr. Moseley Tells His Story. "The fact is," he said, "we purchased our tickets to Sewickley, and from there tele graphed home saying we were going to be married at Jamestown. We then thought we could take the night train to Buffalo, but it was the express, and way passengers were not taken. It was necessary for us to get away from Sewickley or our folks might have had us stopped at that place. I first offered the conductor 55 apiece to take us away, but he would not consent, saying it was against the rules. I raised my offer to ?25 apiece to get him to take us to Beaver where we could take the Lake Erie train that would carry us to Buffalo, but he refused, saying that he would not take us on for love or money. "We felt that we must leave Sewickley, and as the conductor would not take us we ran and jumped on the baggage car expect ing that it would stop at Beaver and that we could take the train for Buffalo. The train did not stop though until it had car ried us to Alliance? where we were arrested. It had been raining and the night air was damp and cold. The motion of the train made it worse, and as my wife I mean Miss Bessie only had on a white dress I made her put on my overcoat. It only reached down to her knees and her dress could he seen underneath. That was all the 'boy's clothes' she had on, and the statement sent from Alliance that she had on any others is not so." "Then, you are married?" asked the re porter. Not Enough Said Abont a Wedding. "That is a question I decline to answer at( present. Mr. Steadman or my brother will give your paper a statement about that later, hut it would have been strange if we were not 'married before we came back. Things had gone so far that was another thing I blamed the papers for. They said nothing about our marriage. I wish I could have seen one of your reporters at the train when we came in about 1:30 this morning. I would have told him all the facts about the case, and so much would not have been left to imagination." "Then you were married at Alliance, were you?" asked tho reporter, "or was it after you got home?" "I must decline to answer that question, but will say that either Mr. Steadman or my brother will give you a statement which will be accompanied by a certificate of a witness." The. young man then told the story of their arrest and the subsequent escape of1 Miss Steadman from the Mayor's house. They had not been confined in a cell, he said, but were locked up in the Mayor's office. The balance of his statement agreed with the story published in The DISPATCH. It was also ascertained yesterday afternoon that Mrs. Steadman waconsiderably shaken by the escapade of her daughter, but that the statement that Miss Bessie had dressed herself in boy's clothes had as much to do with her illness as anything else connected with the story.

J.3I11 llgan's Congregation Itecelved Into the U. P. Church Tho Former Pastor Is Called Names of Elders and Deacons. Great deliberation characterized the in itiation of the congregation of ex-Kcformed Presbyterians into the rights and privileges oftheTJ. P. denomination last evening at the First United Presbyterian Church of Allegheny. By 8 o'clock probably 400 In dies and gentlemen were assembled in the lecture room of that church on Union avenue. They were those desiring to subscribe to the faith of the denomination of which they were anxious to form a party and also many friends of the initiates who were present to express their sympathy. Bev. Dr. W. J. Bobinson, the venerable and beloved pastor of the "First Church," was the Moderator, and owing, as he said, to the extraordinary character of this coming in to the U. P. fold of those presenting themselves, the ceremonial part was slightly modified. As it was, there was just enough of that pro cedure necessary to keep the gathering un til almost 11 o'clock Defore the required formula of admission was exhausted and 120 former' members of J. K. J. Mil- ugan s one-time Uovenanter congrega tion became communicants in their new allegiance. Besides, ten others were received on certificates from other churches and 13 by profession of faith. That started what will be hereafter known as the Ninth U. P. Church, of Allecheny. with a mem bership of 143. The Organizing Committee appointed by the Presbytery was represented! by Messrs. Samuel Dyer, of the Third Cnurch, and J. McGinnis, of the Fifth Church. They com posed what is familiarly known in political circles, as a sort of Committee on Contested Seats, their duty being to determine the right of an applicant to membership in the organization they were authorized to form out of the rather formidable array of appli cants. Dr. Bobinson necessarily occupied considerable time explaining the rules and required method of procedure, saying that the ladies had a perfect right to place names in nomination for the offices to be filled, but that they would not be permitted to vote for the candidates; that even the U. P. Church did not so extend the elective franchise. The elders chosen were, Messrs. William Anderson, D. M. Sloan, Alex Hodge, Martin Prenter and Oliver Anderson. The deacons elected were, Messrs. William M. Boggs, James Mehaffey and John Dean for three years; Messrs. Henry Baird, James McDowell and Joseph Stevenson for two years, and Messrs. S. C. Milligan, John McDowell and James Smiley for one year. A call was voted for J. JR. J. Milligan for pastor. The call will be at the meeting place this afternoon for signatures, and the congregation will meet in the same room the evening of Tuesday week.

Wilkinsburg has long enjoyed the priv ileges of electric lights. Hitherto the sup ply has come from Brushton, but it has al ways been insufficient. An independent plant was a necessity, so Wilkinsburg,Edge woodville and Swissvale joined forces to prevail upon the Wilkinsburg Electric Light Company to erect another plant for their special benefit at the other end of town. The result is seen in that a plant has been put up in Edgewoodville nearly oppo site the deaf and dumb school that will be enough to furnish electric light for the three boroughs. It is expected that it will be ready for operation by August 1. The people in the vicinity complain a great deal about the smoke they think will come from the smokestack of the electric lighthouse. They say that Edgewoodville is a place of residence, and should not be defiled by the presence of an establishment of a manufacturing nature even though it be for their own convenience. They be lieve that the grimy smoke will spoil their preity names ana color tnem in the same sad garb that has become distinctive of Pittsburg. The complaints are not likely to stop the electric company's operations, however. The plant will commence busi ness on the first of the month in spite of all objections.
