LIVSEY IN ENGLAND.
U. S. District Attorney Lyon Thinks
the Missing Cashier May Have
Taken an Ocean Trip.
TREASURER BOYER'S TROUBLES.
He Trusted Casliier Livsey Implicitly and
Left Things in the Office
to His Charge.
DE. TEED GOT EVERYTHING HE WANTED.
H.J.
Cnlhcrtson and Mr. Iircmia Think Republican
tuccess Is Assured.
"I think it possible that Cashier Livsey
has gine to 'England," said United States
District Attorney Lyon in speaking of the
missing man so greatly wanted by the State
Administration. "As is well known, he
U an Englishman and fought in the
Crimean War. His relatives live in that
country and when he resigned his office, he
might have quietly gone to New York and
taken a ship without telling his people any
thing about his attentions. I do
not think it possible that he could be in this
country w ithout some person getting track
ot him. He was well known, and could not
be in Minneapolis without being seen.
Even if he went to England, he may not be
in hiding, for, of course, English papers
will have nothing about the State investiga
tion,and he may not be communicating with
anvone. I always considered him honest
and careful. I am not saving that he is in
nocent, but if he is guilty I -a ill consider
myself a poor judge of human nature.
"The man I pity in this investigation is
State Treasurer Boyer. I do not believe he
was guilty of any dishonesty or even care
lessness He has been an unfortunate man
since elected to the position he now holds.
Shortly after taking charge of the office,
lu father took sick and he went home and
nursed him almost constantly. The strain
injured Boyer's health and while in that
condition he was bitten by a dog. He was
dejected in spirit, his nerves were shattered
and the accident preyed upon his mind so
ranch that he thought he was going to have
hydrophobia. His friends thought it best
for him to take a rest, so he went to Canada.
During this time Cashier Livsey was
given full chajge. He had been in the office
to long that it was natural for Boyer to trust
lure. Besides, what could be more laudable
than for a man to care for his dying father,
e en if he had to leave his business in other
hands while doing so?
"Shortly after, the Delamater and Key
stone bank failures came, and Boyer spent
all his time looking after State money.
Li ter was trusted with the routine of tfie
"lPcn, the same as a bank president
tresis a cashier. It was natural for Boyer
to do so. and even if carelessness is proven
I think Lise, not the State Treasurer, is
the one most guilty."

LonisWarfield Tells How Detroit Is Beset
With Candidates.
Lcuis Warfield, General Manager of the
Detroit Electrical Works, before leaving
the city yesterday related a peculiar state of
political affairs in which the Gity of Straits
in now floundering. It has four candidates
for Mayor, two Democratic and two Re
publican, all of whom claim to be regular
nominees. The Democratic candidates
are William G. Thompson and D. J.
Campau. Between the families of each
there is a quarrel existing, that, if they
lived further South, would be a feud de
manding blood
Thompson was formerly a Republican
JIavnr, and is making his canvass on his
record. Campau is Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Committee, and has the party
organization, including the favor of Don
Dickinson, at his back. The people are
with Thompson and the politicians with
Campau. The fight would probably result
m the defeat of the Democratic ticket were
it not for the fact that the Republicans have
lost their senses and have started a row in
their own camp. The present Mayor, Mr.
AVarfield said, caters to the "hurrah" ele
ment, and during the recent railway riots
did little to preserve the city's honor. He
now insists that the Republicans should re
elect him. A portion of the party is equally
determined to elect another man, whom
they have nominated. Both are in the
ring, and, with the two Democratic candi
date an interesting all-around fight is
promised.
DENYING CAMPAIGN CHAEGES.
A Weetmorolaud County Man Talks About
rohtics.
Curtis H. Greg?, Democratic candidate
for District Attornev in Westmoreland
county, passed through Fittsburg yesterday.
He had just heard that a report had been
circulated to the effect that his friends are
trading James D. Best, the Democratic
nominee for Clerk of Courts, in order to
benefit himself. Mr. Gregg indignantly
denied the report. He said it was altepub.
lican scheme to create bad feeling between
himself and Best
"I think the State ticket will get more
than the Democratic vote in Westmoreland
rminty," continued Mr. Gregg. "The fann
er are going to full in lice lor Tilden, and
when they do that thev will not cut
Wright's name. The soldier vote is light
in Webtmoreland county, and will not help
the Republicans. The lew veterans there
belong to the Republican party. The Dem
ocratic county ticket, I think, is safe. I
have been at every election precinct, and
leel sure of my own election."
A Scab Aggregation.
"Ihave had strikes on all kinds of ques
tions," said a prominent Democratic street
railway man from the South, who was in
attendance at the Street Railway Conven
tion last week, "but the most peculiar was
the day after Harrison was elected Presi
dent I was running a mule road then.
The cars started out all right in the morn
ing, but about 8 o'clock they all stopped,
and telephone messages commenced coming
in stating that the mules would not go.
Every one of them balked, and we hid "to
put horses on. Two days afterward I found
out the trouble. The mules had struck be
cause they thoucht the American voters had
made donkeys of themselves and were a
Chicago Above the Clouds.
When in Pittsburg yesterday, Colonel
Parker, Principal of the Cook Institute of
Chicago, was asked how high they were
putting up the buildings in his city now.
"Well," he replied, "I can't exactly tell.
The system of measurement in common use
would not convey the correct idea. It might
better be expressed by the fact that we have
stopped putting roofs on our buildings, the
tops being above the clouds, where no rain
falls The extreme elevation is also useful
in furnishing ice for the city. Artificial
machines are not .sed and instead a tank filled
with water is placed on the upper floor and
in two or three hours the water becomes
ice."
A Convention of Politicians.
The Street Railway Convention last week
was, besides being what the name indicated,
a contention of local politicians from tbe
cities represented. Street railway men are
compelled, in order to get franchises, to
take an active part in city affairs, and before
entering business they are usually poli
ticians. One of the most prominent that
were in Pittsburg was Mayor Hayne, of
Newark. He has just been re-elected, ac
cording to his own claim, by a majority of
196 votes over the Eepublican candidate,
but the glory of getting the office is in dis
pute The contest was going on while 3d"r.
Hayne was in Pittsburg, but that did not
prevent him from, being as jolly as the best
natured man at the convention.
CONGETSSMAIT BBTJMM'S VIEWS.
He Believes That Governor Fattlson Has
Acted Very Injudiciously.
Ex-Congressman Brumm, of Pottsyille,
is among the Republican political workers
stopping at the Duquesne Hotel. He is a
tall, broad-shouldered man, with raven
black hair, a high forehead, under which
two piercing eyes are set He is a forcible
and eloquent talker, and has a great fund of
information.
Speaking of the campaign,he said he would
make his maiden speech of the season at
Lafayette Hall. "Up our way we are mak
ing a strong fight against great odds, as
Schuylkill county is Deraocratii. Our
chances are ery much better than they
were last year. A Judicial contest will
help us quite materially. This will be
the means of getting out the vote.
"Are you in favor of a Constitutional
Convention'.""
"Yes, I am. It was promsed to certain
people and I think they ought to have it
The labor and the grange element will be
the beneficiaries of the convention,
as their interests could be spread
out before the people and money flaws
eliminated which are now hampering
them."
"Do you think the extra session of the
Senate will avail anything?"
"No, I do not If anything, it will be
potential for the Republican party. Gov
ernor Pattison has not only acted inju
diciously, but I may say disgracefully, in
this matter. Why, he practically issued
a letter of credit to the Republican Senate.
In the action he virtually classed the courts
of justice as incompetent and unworthy to
sit in judgment on the cases of Bover and
McCamant, and gave their fate into the
hands of a Republican Senate. I have no
partisan feeling in their cases. If they are
guilty of the charges against them punish
ment should be meted out to them the same
as in all cases, no matter who the people
may be."
Dr. Teed Got All He "Wanted.
Dr. Cyrus Teed, head of the Chicago Col
lege of Life, in an interview last evening,
said that he had won all he went to Econ
omy after. What he wanted and now says
he has obtained was the backing of the
Economites in his scheme of "equitable
commerce," as set forth in THE DISPATCH
the other day. He insists that it was
credit, not the millions of the Economy So
ciety, that he was so anxious to get
To-Morrow's Council Meeting.
There will be plenty of little routine
business for Councils to handle at the meet
ing to-morrow afternoon, but very few mat
ters of importance. About the only bus
iness of note will be the ordinance allowing
coal to be burned on locomotives in the city,
provided smoke consumers are used. Chief
Bigelow will probably present his report on
the cost of an electric light plant for the
city.

THE '
1T0 NEARER THE END.
Dempster, of the Operators, Addresses
the Miners' Convention.
EAE WANTS THE STBIKE KEPT UP.
Holmes Is Xow Attacked by the General
Executive Board.
INTERESTING LOCAL LABOR HATTERS
Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock the con
vention of the striking miners commenced in
K. of L. headqnartera on Third avenue.
There were 72 delegates present to repre
sent the 10,000 striking miners. President
Costello was in the chair and first called for
the reports of committees. These reports
were very encouraging. After the different
reports were heard National President Rae
and President Costello each made speeches,
in which thev advised the men to stand
firm. A committee on resolutions was ap
pointed, after which the convention ad
journed for dinner.
About 2 o'clock the body reassembled and
were in session until about 5 o'clock. After
the session President Rae said: "This is
the most successful meeting of the kind I
ever attended. Seventy-two delegates are
a good many to get together, but the miners
are so firm in their strike that unusual in
terest is taken in this meeting.
EAE PAINTS A CHEERFUL PICTURE.
"This afternoon's meeting was spent in
thoroughly discussing the situation. Presi
dent Dempster, of the Pittsburg Coal Com
pany, was present all afternoon. He was
there to try and convincs the miners that
they were in the wrong, but I am of the
opinion the miners succeeded in convincing
him of the opposite. He thought the
miners had broken their yearly contracts
by refusing to work after October 1. The
miners proved to him that the operators
had violated their contracts in every par
ticular as to the prices paid, and there had
even been some unfair things in that line
by the operators.
"The meeting will not end the strike, nor
was it called for that purpose. We always
have these meetings just to arrive at better
understandings with the men. Nothing in
the way of compromising the matter was
done.
WILI. BE IN SESSION MONDAY.
"We did not finish our business to-day,
as the whole afternoon was taken up in heat
ing President Dempster's arguments. We
meet atrain on Monday morning, and
will probably remain in session all day. On
Monday the Committee on Resolutions will
report As to what the embodiment of the
resolutions are I am not prepared to say."
The West Newton operators were jubi
lant last night over the condition of the
strike as many of the men have returned to
work on the Youghiogheny river. At
Scott's No. 2, 100 men were at work, out of
that number there being about 20 Huns.
At Banning 50 men were in, an increase of
40. Pacific mines started up with 20 men.
In the Youghiogheny district 125 gondolas
were loaded, an increase of 65 cars over
Friday's loading. Probably Monday will
see all the mines on the river at work. A
good winter's run will be had as orders for
gas coal are away ahead of the production
while the local trade is excellent.
HOLMES ON THE RACK AGAIN.
The General Executive Board of the Car
penters Now Re-Opens Ills Case and
Demands That He Make a Public De
nialThreatened With Expulsion.
During November and December of last
year a vote was taken by the carpenters of
Pittsburg and vicinity on the advisability
of calling a strike on May 1, 1891. Out of
this vote it will be remembered a fight
sprung up between the Brotherhood of Car
penters and E. A. Holmes, a member of
Union 230, of Pittsburg. Now another
complication has arisen. Mr. Holmes told
his story to a Dispatch reporter yesterday
and it is as follows:
"The voting Inst winter," said Mr.
Holmes, was against the strike, as has since
been shown again and again, but notwith
standing the actual return of the vote, the
District Council gobbled the reports and
none but the elect have been able to see
them. After they had secured the returns
they declared the strike had carried.
"This action was opposed by many mem
bers of the brotherhood and especially by
Unions 165, 506, 230, ?37 and others. I was
opposed to it, and for the fight I have made
against the unjust, arbitrary and unconsti
tutional acts of the local officials I have in
curred their enmity as well as that of the
general officers of the brotherhood. This
has found vent in many expressions current
among the carpenters of the city to the ef
fect that they would deprive me of a living
and compel me to leave the city.
"I was tried once just after the conclusion
of the strike and was acquitted by the court
of inquiry. I was again charged by Gen
eral Secretary P. J. McGnire with having
given an interview published in The Dis
FATCn of July 15, and was recently tried
on this charge. The attorney for McGuire
at this time was R. J. Davis, President of
the District Council. In this court the
verdict was unanimous in favor
of acquittal. Against this verdict
of the court, which constitutionally is, the
highest tribunal, McGuire took an appeal
to the General Executive Board. This
board met last week and ordered Union No.
230 to reopen its court and try the case
again. It also ordered the union to de
mand of me that I publicly deny having
anything to do with the article in The
Dispatch of July 15, and in cae I re
fuse to make the denial, expell me from
the Brotherhood.
"I am not averse to saying what is right
and just in the matter. What action Union
230 will take now I do not know. I will
take tbe matter to the General Convention
next year if necessary, but I judge that the
body of carpenters ars too honorable to al
low one of their brethren to suffer an unjust
expulsion from the order. It was proven at
the time of my trial that I did not give the
matter to The Dispatch. McGuire and
his followers want me to make a denial in
print, but when I do they will be much
older and wiser."
The Exchange May Secede.
It is possible that the Pittsburg Ex
change will withdraw from the National
Association of Builders at the an
nual meeting in December. The
trouble lies in the fact that the
local exchange failed to receive any aid
from the national association during the
strike in Pittsburg this summer. If they
do not secede they will insist and urge that
some step be taken looking to the assistance
of filial exchanges, when a fight occurs, for
the privileges the employers must have if
they are to do business successfully and
without trades union dictation-
Machine Woodworkers Organize.
Tbe machine woodworkers of the county
to the number of 150 met at 23 Federal
street, Allegheny, last night and organized
a lodge under a charter of the International
Union and the Federation of America.
They were formerly with the carpenters
and joiners, but by their action last night
severed their connection with that union.
Officers will be elected at the next meeting.
It May Last All Winter.
The Bricklayers' Union held a meeting
yesterday and the reports received
showed that their strike was still
firm. The indications are that they will
stay out all winter. Charles Balf, the con
tractor for the Magee building, tried to se
cure union bricklayers to do the work,

but failed, and will begin the building Mon

CARNEGIE WANTS NO CHANGE.
William F. Albot Also Brands the Carnegie
Plpo I.ino Story as Untr jo.
William F Albot, Chairman of Carnegie,
Phipps & Co., arrived home from Europe
Friday, where he had been to see Andrew
Carnegie concerning business matters. Mr.
Albot was seen yesterday. He said his visit
to Mr. Carnegie was without interest to
the public as no changes are to be made in
any of the Carnegie industries.
Mr. Albot also emphatically denied the
story that Mr. Carnegie was interested in a
new pipe line to the seacoast He said:
"The" story is absolutely incorrect and un
true as neither Mr. Carnegie nor any of his
associates have the slightest interest in any
pipe line."
May Have Trouble Finding Coal.
A party of Pittsburgers whose names
could not be learned have joined with some
Californians to develop a large body of Bes
semer iron ore near Los Angeies, Cal.
The body is said to be the finest
Bessemer ore in the United States. It lies
on the line of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail
road. A Pittsburg iron manufacturer, in
speaking of it yesterday, said that the only
trouble in developing it w onld be in the
trouble of finding suitable coal in Cali
fornia for coking purposes.
LAID BY BISHOP WHITEHEAD.
Tjaylng tbe Corner Stone of the Church of
the Good Shepherd.
The corner stone of the new Episcopal
Church of the Good Shepherd, Second and
Johnston avenues, Hazelwood, was laid yes
terday afternoon. Rt Rev. Cortlandt
Whitehead, D. D., Bishop of the Pittsburg
diocese, officiated, and was assisted by Rev.
Andrew D. Heffern, rector; Rev. Marison
Byllesby, of Emannel Church, Allegheny;
Rev. E. A. Augell, of Crafton; Rev. W. N.
Webble, St. John's Church, Lawrenceville;
Rev. W. Rogers, Verona; Rev. Daniel
Duroe, of St. Luke's Church; Rev. Thomas
Garland, St Peter's; Rev. G. A. M. Dyers,
Bellevue, and Rev. James Foster.
Bishop Whitehead and the clergy marched
to the new foundation from the rectory,
while the snrpliced choir, accompanied by
a cornet, sang the one hundred and twenty
second psalm. After devotional exercises,
in which the large congregation present
took part, the Bishop laid the corner stone.
Following this a brief address was made
by Rev. Marison Byllesby, of Allegheny.
He congratulated the congregation upon its
success, and wished it "god-speed" in its
new house of worship. The Bishop also
made a few remarks appropriate-to the oc
casion. After referring to the number of
new churches in the Pittsburg diocese dur
ing the past year, the Bishop said that
every new corner stone is a protes against

is spreading. He dwelt at some length
upon this theme, and concluded the cere
monies with prayer and the benediction.

A GRAND TRIBUTE
TO JODGKS FOKTKK, M'CtlJNG AITO
KENNEDY, OF COMMON FLEAS NO. 3.
The Ieadlng Bankers and Manufacturers
Add Their Praise to the Efficiency of
the Regular Republican. Candidates on
the County Ticket.
The indorsements of the Judges of Com
mon Pleas Court No. 3 and District Attor
ney Burleigh are most flattering. The fol
lowing are a few of the expressions of well
known and leading business men of Alle
gheny county:
Mr. John B. Jackson, President of the
Fidelity Title and Trust Company, said: "1
am unqualifiedly in favor of the retention
of Judees'Kennedy. Porter and McClung.
I have no use for the so-called 'straightouts'
championed by Archie Rowand. The Gov
ernor acted wisely and the people should
sustain his appointments."
Mr. H. K. Porter, of the H. K. Porter
Locomotive Works, said: "I am in favor
of the present bench. That will be my
ticket beyond doubt I am forjudges, Por
ter, McClung and Kennedy."
George I. Whitney, broker, said: "Of
course I am for Juflges Porter, McClung
and Kennedy. They are eminently quali
fied, and I can see no reason why they
should not be elected. In fact, I think
there is no donbt about it."
Joshua Rhodes, President of the Penn
sylvania Tube Works: "I am most heartily
in favor of Judges Porter, McClung and
Kennedy. They are men well known for
their brains and ability."
Mr. Max Moorhead, iron manufacturer:
"I am not an alleged 'straightout' I am
a stanch Republican. I am and have al
ways been one. I am for the regular Re
publican ticket which was regularly nomi
nated, and I will vote for Judges Porter,
McClung and Kennedy."
Campbell Herron, Esq., iron manufact
urer, said: "I am unqualifiedly for the reg
ular Republican ticket I shall vote for
Judges Porter, Kennedy and McClung."
Joseph Walton, coal operator: "Judges
Kennedy, McClung and Porter are as good
men as I want, and I believe they are as
good as could be obtained."
W. R. Thompson, banker: "Both Judges
Kennedy and McClung have been personal
friends of mine and are in my mind excel
lent men. I do not know so much about
Judge Porter, but from all indications he is
their equal, as he has been spoken of in
business circles in a very complimentary
manner. Although Kennedy is against my
politics, yet I think the judiciary should be
.Kept entirety iruiu punuua or pouucai cou
siuera'ion. Burleigh has done excellent
work and his appointment is entirely satis
factory." Charles E. Sneer, First National Bank,
said: "I consider the regular Republican
ticket a good one. I refer especially to the
gentlemen nominated for Judges and Dis
trict Attorney, because I have known all of
them for many years. It would be difficult
to make a better selection. I have no
doubt of their election, and I have perfect
confidence that they will fill their offices
with credit to themselves and the entire
satisfaction of the community."
George A. Kcllcy: "The present incum
bents (Judges Porter, Kennedy and Mc
Clung) will have my hearty support"
Mr. A. E. W. Painter, iron manufact
urer: "I have no fault to find with the
regular Republican ticket Judges Ken
nedy, Porter and McClung, and District At
torney Burleigh are entirely satisfactory.
I shall support it without a cut"
Mr. B. F. Jones, of Jones & Laughlins,
iron manufacturer: "I am a Republican,
as everybody knows. I will support the
ticket named by the County Committee. I
consider it the regular ticket, and I might
be more emphatic by saying that it could
not be improved upon. District Attorney
Burlcich has acquitted himself admirably
during his short term of office. They should
ail De elected
Thomas McBride, Superintendent of La
Belle SteelWorks: "I think the Governor's
appointments were fair, and that he was
wise in his selections. I think Judges
Kennedy, Porter and McClung should "be
elected to succeed themselves, and I shall
vote for them and do what I can to that
end."
W. Dewees AVood, iron manufacturer: "I
heartily indorse the candidacy of Judges
McClung, Porter and Kennedy nnd District
Attorney Burleigh. I will do all in my
power to secure their election. The manu
facturers and business men seem to be a
unit for them. The bench should be as far
removed as possible from politics."
Mr. D. Leet Wilson, of Fort Pitt National
Bank, said: "I have had an acquaintance
with Judges Kennedy and McClung and
consider them excellent lawyers and would
like to se them elected. I am going to
vote the whole regular Republican ticket."

ent Cowan of the hospital; W.'G Burfy,
the well-known lumber dealer, and quite a
number of other prominent business men
and manufacturers interested in seeing a
practical and successful consumer adopted
for general use. The result of the test was
that if any one went there with any. other
idea thanthat the consumer did everything
that is claimed for it, they had their opinion
completely reversed, for every one joined
in one general remark of commendation.
"It is wonderful." said one. 'It
beats anything I have ever seen,"
said another, and "it goes beyond all
my expectations," added 'the third. Mr.
Walker has gone at the problem with the
theory that smoke is essentially waste and
should be converted into fuel, "if the coal
is completely consumed, according to his
idea, there would be no smoke; and tbe
reason coal is not completely consumed is
that it does not receive sufficient oxygen t6
perfect the combustion. What he does,
therefore, and does It successfully, is to
furnish enough oxygen at a high tempera
ture to burn all the smoke that has formed
in the firebox.
He consumes 90 per cent of the smoke for
a certainty, and therefore, turning this into
fuel, saves a large percentage of coal. '
The tests and letters below clearly show
the laree amount of economy in coal and
the great evaporation of water, both of the"
greatest interest to users oi steam power, j
The arrangement is so simple that any or
dinary fireman can learn to run it success
fully "in two or three hours.
In the test yesterday, as at all other times,
when the furnaces are attended to properly,
the smoke was consumed, the only time
that any was emitted from the stack being
when the fireman fired up or cleaned the
flues. As soon as the doors were closed the
smoke stopped immediately. The test was
watched with a great deal of interest. After
it was over, Mr. Hamilton was seen. "I had
almost made up my mind that this consumer
was not a success, but I find I was unjustly
criticising it. It was our own fault Mr.
Walker has demonstrated to onr satisfaction
that our man did not quite understand how
to fire the furnace. He has shown us how
the work is to be done, and I guess we wilf
get along better in the future.
Major Denniston said he felt satisfied that
the consumer would do all that was claimed
for it, but one might with as great a degree
of common sense put an incompetent engin
eer on a railway locomotive and expect him.
tp run it successfully as to expect an inex
perienced and faulty fireman to get results
from a smoke-consumer.
Mrs. Oakley seemed very much interested
in the invention, and the reporter ventured
to ask her for an opinion on it She said:
"Being president of the Ladies' Health
Protective Association, I am interested in
seeing the greatest possible perfection -attained
in the matter of smoke consumers.
We will enforce every ordinance we have
and secure the passage of new ones in order
to insure cleanliness. I had heard that this
consumer was making too mueh smoke, and
we came here for the purpose of making a
personal inspection of it with a view to re
porting it to our association, if we found
anything wrong about it, but I am very free
to confess that it seems very satisfactory to
me. I find it a much more complete and
better arrangement than I had expected to
see, and I am very sure that if none of the
other consumers made more smoke than this
one does, our association would have no
cause for complaint"
Mrs. Pontefract, who accompanied Mrs.
Oakley, indorsed what the latter said.
Superintendent Cowan said the consumer
was new to their man, and they had not
been getting the results from it that they
had anticipated, but he was satisfied that
the arrangement was all right and would do
all that was claimed for it, if handled prop
erly. Mr. Walker would not say anything about
tbe consumer himself. He was very much
pleased at having proven the excellence of
the apparatus to those who inspected it, and
did not care to express any lurtner opinion.
The following clarly demonstrates the
efficiency of the Walker smokeless furnace.
Messrs. Holingsworth & Vo6e, paper
manufacturers at East Wnlpole, Mass., had
a new boiler set recently by the Robert L.
Walker Smokeless Furnace Company and
are so well pleased with the results obtained
from a test made by George H. Barms (the
result we give below) that they have or
dered the smoke consumer put on the rest
of their boilers at once.
The following is Mr. Barms' letter:

Gentlemen I beg to report briefly that
the results of my evaporative test ot your
new 72-inch boiler, set with the
Walker furnace, was an evaporation of
11.622 pounds of water per pound of coal,
from and at 212 degrees, the coal being of
the Pocahontas semi-bituminous class. The
heat tests of the coal in my calori meter
show a total heat of combustion of 14.114
B. T. U. per pound of coal, which is an In
dication of superior quality.
I will give further details regarding the
results as soon as I can attend to it
Yours truly,
Signed. Geokge H. Babbits.

Dear Sir It gives us pleasure to say
that your smoke consumers put under our
boilers are giving us entire satisfaction, and
are doing all vou promised for them.
We are getting from 25 per cent to 33 per
cent more steam without any additional
fuel, and are satisfied that we are not pro
ducing as much smoke by 00 per cent as we
were doing under the former arrangement of
our boilers. Yours truly,

Dear Sir regard to the several con
versations we have had together, I desire to
say that upon careful investigation I think
you have .got onfe of the best appliances for
the economical! generation of steam that!
have ever Been. ,
I have carefully investigated the applica
tion of this device, and think that you haye
got the secret of burning smoke.
This is a matter that perhaps, like most
other engineers, I have considered impossi
ble; but, taking the matter in a theoretical
point of view, I have seen that your fur
nace, throwing down the smoke in tbe first
place by reverberatory action, thrOy"S
the carbon of the unconsumed smoke back
again on the rear of the grates, where' a
fresh introduction of air, with its carbonic
oxide, will tend to consume the same and
deliver; almost practically free, gases to the
outer air.
This will result in not only the saving of J

the smoke nuisance in our large cities, but
will also result in the saving of fuel to
boiler owners, as we all know that the wast
ing of carbon is a direct loss. I think you
have struck the keynote to a very large im
provement in steam boiler construction. I
am yours truly, R. M. Huston, M. E. ,

FROM DEATH.
ESCAPE
In a Railway Collision Ho Wa Thrown
From His Engine, Sustaining Serious In
jury to His Ankle-He Claims His Re
markable Recovery Dae to Electricity.
One of the oldest and most prominent en
gineers on the Allegheny Valley Railroad,
known all along the(line between Pittsburg
nnd Oil City, is Jimmie Lewis. His train
met with a collision near Kittanning on the
14th .Inst, throwing him from his engine
and incurring serious injury to his right
ankle. In speaking of the accident he says:
"I have had many narrow escapes, but this
one was just a little too quick for me.
Nevertheless, I was thankful to come out
of it with one ankle rendered helpless,
which no doubt would have laid me upfor
some'time had I not gone to the Electrical
and -Medical Institute, 443 Penn avenue,
where by the use of electricity the pain was
deadened at once and the swelling reduced,
relieving me of all lameness, so that I was
able io report for duty in three days. They
have a great many patients treating for
chronic ailments, but I want to say that if
the boys would taKe advantage of that treat
ment when first receiving an injury it would
save them money and tinfe."

Shock In the Custom House.
Great commotion and surprise in the
Pittsbnrg Custom House was caused by the
first importation of diamonds that was ever
made direct in bond to Pittsbure, Mr. M.
J. Smit, the Smithfield street jeweler, de
serving full credit for so doing. Mr. Smit
is a professional diamond polisher, and that
certainly entitles him to be considered the
best expert in the city. Mr. Smit left for
Europe in July and returned tbe latter part
of September, 1891. During his stay in
Amsterdam, Holland, he visited the largest
factories where the diamonds are cut and pol
ished, and from them made personal selec
tion of an elegant lot of diamonds, varying
in weight as smrll as 1-64 of a karat up to 10
karats each stone.
The great display and sale of said dia
monds will begin on Tuesday, October 27,
and will be personally superintended by
M. . Smit, who will assist purchasers in
tbe selection of ear drops, lace pins, neck
laces, hair pins, or any design in mounting
of said diamonds will be carefully executed.
Now is your time to secure great bargains
in diamonds, as they will be sold at lower
prices than ever offered in this city or any
part ot tne tuned States. o.ou can maxe
your holiday selections and we will take
care of them for you free of charge until
called for. M. J. Smit,
